Craig 6321 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Bit of advice needed please people - apart from the obvious 'more space' what (if any) advantage is there of me spending an extra £50 for a 250GB PS3 over the 120GB model?? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6321 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 is no differences as far as i know. I think the 250 version was just a reaction to microsoft bringing out the 250gb elite 360 So it's extra cash for nowt then? Thieving bastards. Just enlighten a PS2/3 virgin here - what is the hard disk being used for?? Purely the game saves?? And if so, how much space on average does a save take?

You can buy films from the movie store and download them onto your hard disk. As well as record TV if you've got PlayTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4291 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 none, game saves, game/movie/music downlods, game DLC(downloadable content) you can actually install games to the HDD (I think, can on xbox) which cuts loading times dramatically average size depends on the game but tbh I've had a 20gb hard drive for my 360 since i got it 3 years ago and am just about getting to maybe needing a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6098 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Why not get a 360 for half the price? Better online too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6321 Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Why not get a 360 for half the price? Better online too It's for the Mrs, not me and she's definitely after the PS3. She's not into the online games and it's going to double up as a blueray player for her too I on the other hand may well be treating myself to an xbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really don't want to start this one Thomas.... I've asked about a specific console and the merits of the hard-drive within it. I'm not comparing it against any other unit nor am I asking or comparing any of the games for it. I'm well aware of the 'gaming forum - i created it for fuck's sake. I deemed that this thread was more appropriate to GC. End of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay 8 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Going on the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3#Slim_model there does not seem to be a difference at all. Some games come with a mandatory install though. This can sometimes be a couple of gig like. But I would imagine that 120 should be fine unless you are planning on getting every game that comes out. I mainly use mine for blu-ray and DVDs as it makes less noise than the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay 8 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Got a PS3 the other month and am getting bored of Fifa and the new Need for Speed. Anybody recommend a decent game to buy? Resident Evil 5 Bioshock Uncharted and uncharted 2. I would get the 1st one to start with. Its cheap, but I don't think you need it for the story line. Then COD Modern Warfare 2.

Just got Uncharted 1 off play.com for 15 quid. If that's decent I'll put the second one on my Christmas list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
