Is the ps3 20gb a good buy for 350 dollars?

May be...

plzz help me decide

yes. I would recommend at least 40 gig if you dont mind paying extra $50. One option would be to buy 20 gig version and replace hard drive with an 80 gig. You would spend $400 for an 80 gig instead of $350 for 20 gig. You should be able to get an 80 gig from newegg for $50.

It depends. Do you plan on connecting wirelessly? If you do, the answer is no, the 20GB is the only model that does not have wifi. Do you plan on playing PS2 games? The 20GB has both the CPU and GPU from the PS2 which means you can play the entire PS2 library. None of the new models have backwards compatibility, and the 80GB model that came in the Motor Storm and MGS4 bundles uses software emulation so they can only play about 85% of PS2 games. Not everyone needs a big hard drive, especially if you're only going to play games on it, but if you start downloading movies and tv shows, you'll probably want a bigger hard drive. I've got a 250GB hdd with only 94 GB left.



Tell the person selling it you'll give them $300 and see if they take it. If not make them meet you in the middle at $325.

Ummm, close call. The Brand New 80GB is ony $49.99 more..



Pros for 20GB - PS2 compatibilty, 4 USB Ports.

Cons for 20GB - No built in WiFi, would need a new HDD (20GB too small)



Pros for 80GB - Brand New (warranty), larger HD space, Built in WiFi

Cons for 80GB - No PS2 compatibility, 2 USB ports.



To me, what it comes down to is this - do you need to be able to play PS2 games? If yes, get the 20GB, and try to knock 'em down a few $$, or try to find a 60GB. If PS2 compatibility is not a concern, I would go new 80GB all the way.

No it's the biggest rip off i've ever heard. For an extra $50 bucks you get an extra 60GB and WI-FI. the 20gb is a piece of crap compared to the other models



EDIT: and it's brand new with a warranty. the person selling you the ps3 obviously is trying to either rip you off or has no clue on pricing a used ps3

Yes, it can play ps1 and ps2 games and also if u need more space u can always buy a bigger laptop 2.5 inch sata hard drive cause some games U will need to install to play and 20gb will get full in no time espicially when u download games from playstation store.

nooooo its not a good buy DO NOT BUY IT the ps3 80gb is selling now for 400 bucks with a game and dualshock controller so why would a 20gb be good for 350 when it doesnt have wireless access to the internet

I'd say yes if you like the ps3. i'm going with the econo -360 for $199 and adding a few things on. I was looking at a used ps3? Don't really know which to go with?

Is someone trying to sell you a 20GB for $350? No, don't take it. Brand new 80GB is only $399 with 1 year Sony warranty.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ITS A RIP OFF

FOR 50 BUCKS FOR U CAN GET THE 80GB IN ANY STORES NOW

JUST GET 80G ITS $400

NO!!!!!

youre goign to get ripped off sooo badly... buy a 40gb for 299
