I would recomend getting a 60GB (PAL) PS3, it just supports more stuff thats why.
If your going to get a PS3 then Google:"Wiki PS3" and first link it is, that should show you what model number supports what.
i havent seen any of these about in my local game/electrical stores. Also the release was very quiet. Usually you would see ad's on tv, in newspapers/magazines, bundled packages but with this model, nothing.
160 gb wot they dont want u 2 no is that for £79 u can replace ur existing h/d and get a 500 gb that works perfect with ur ps3 so 160gb is a baby why waste ur money on new ps3 when u just replace ur g/b i will find the site and post it up next week but it is out there :Kickassro
I've replaced the 40gb HDD in my PS3 with a 500gb Western Digital jobbie but it was closer to 100 notes but well worth it as my PS3 is now media heaven
