PS3 Question.

[Lee.]

What ps3 should I get for my kids? They've already got their main pressie, so I want to spend as little as possible. It'll just be for playing games.. I've just seen a 12gb one for £135... What are the disadvantages of that compared to the more expensive ones?

[Drew.]

The cheapest i can find is one for £135 which comes with a game they might enjoy

That's actually an amazing deal!

So what's the main difference between a 12gb and say the 320gb?

[Drew.]

I copied this from a forum

"If you’re getting it just for playing video games then the 12GB one is for you, 500GB is way too much, plus it’s more expensive and you will never use up all of the 500GB (I have a 250GB Xbox but that’s hardly filled up). Also the 12GB is an SSD (Solid State Drive) not a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), which basically means it has no moving parts, files load up faster, and is cooler and quieter than a traditional hard drive. Apart from storage the two consoles are identical everywhere else."

and this

"To be honest, I would get the 500gb PS3 for the simple reason that 12 gb is not enough. Most games require you to install the data for the game in order to speed up rendering and/or decompress data on the disc and the data is usually 8GB or higher."

12gb it is.. It's only for playing kids games and maybe one or two for me :evilgrin:

its cheaper to buy it with the game than on its own... its like £50 more expensive without the game... why is that?
