yeah. but sometimes companies make bad decisions, and out of pride will not go back on them.

i really wish i could simply go into a store & get one :(

Believe it or not, that's your best option. Sometimes if you check out the EB refurbs, there'll be a 60Gb amongst them, and EB are retarded enough to not care. I now occasionally people get lucky. I tried it without luck though.

yeah, but my main reason for getting a PS3 is back compat.... id rather not play the game of chance. its alot easier having ONE machine to play PSX/PS2 and future PS3 titles.

It's not chance. You walk in and ask if any of the refurbs have a 60Gb hard drive in it.

no I bought it because my sister stole the PS2 and I wanted the backwards compatability. MGS4 was a secondary reason :)

well it certainly isnt the weight of games :(

ive been waiting for good games for a while now. ive got my christmas bonus coming soon so i might pick up another games bluray machine.

im guessing itll be cheaper coming into christmas, so it might be a good time to get the black brick - will sit nicely next to the white brick (wii)
