PS3 owners, advice....please!

[gordiano]

I'm thinking of getting a PS3 (I loved my PS2). Right now, if I buy one thru Bestbuy, I get a $50 gift card, if I buy the 80gb version. Any draw backs to getting the 80gb? Is there something I should look for?

See here:

Any "advices", anyone? Seems like a good deal, since I could put the $50 towards Street Fighter 4 for PS3 or 360....also, do you still need memory cards, or can save your shit straight to your system now? Like I said, anything you can think of, please let me know.

I agree i have both and if i had to do it all over again I wouldn't have got the PS3.  the only thing i use it for is MGS4 and as a blue ray player.

Go with PS3. PS3 OWNS X-BOX and it is only getting better.

PS3= Free On line play
PS3= Better graphics
PS3= No rings of death
PS3= Blu-ray player
PS3= Better than X-BOX
PS3= your Cell phone Blutooth will work with your PS3 and you have to spend $70 for a earpiece for X-BOX
PS3= You get a $50 gift Card

Free online play? yes
Better graphics? Yes, but no game developed for ps3 is comparable to the same under xbox. this is because sony failed to develop good games using ps3's hw.
No blue rings of death? true
Better than xbox? yes, but not using resources right now
phone compatibility? useless, a bluetooth dong will solve it
50 ift card? useless

Anyone else? And please, don't turn this into a PS3vs360vsWii E-fight. I already have a 360 and a Wii (for the kids), so I just wanted some real opinions from people who actually own a PS3.

that might be true,    or not, but mine stills overheats even with a cooling fan.
