So I am getting a free PS3

Cheers Mad.I can see how big the influence of HDD is in relation to the price.I'll try to get the smallest HDD as I already have a huge one

Even if you felt the need to upgrade the HDD at a later date, it's easily done with any generic 2.5" laptop HDD, and doesn't void your warranty.
 
You can get second hand PS3s on Ebay for as cheap as £170/195 Euros.

true

I got mine for £160, 80GB. looks like new, no problems whatsoever.

I think only the really old ones (60bg models) should be avoided as they've got the most problems with overheating and blu ray failures.
 
I got my PS3 two years ago second hand, from a RedCafe poster who will remain unnamed, for £250. It came with GTA IV, Tony Hawk's, Call of Duty, and probably a couple of other games which I've since sold, and Spiderman 3 on Blu-Ray.

The 250gb HDD yolks are normally better value IMO.

As for you already having a huge HDD, you can't just plug a USB drive into it, it doesn't work like that, if that's what you meant by having a huge one.

Sorry I wasn't more precise, I meant that my friend will leave me his 250gb ps3 HDD so it's not a big concern for me.
 
Well it has taken a few weeks longer than I expected. But I am now a proud owner of a Ps3 120GB Slim console as well as Uncharted 2 and God of War 3.

I will be busy when I get home tonight
