Should I buy a refurbished 60gb PS3 or a new 80gb one?

May be...

I'm finally getting a ps3 and i want to know if i should get the old 60gb backwards compatible one refurbished/used or if i should get a new 80gb (the mgs bundle with software backwards compatibility). id much prefer having a new console that no one has used, but i also want to be able to play ps2 games. are most games playable on the 80gb ps3? also, do the 60gb ps3s bought have any warranty? thanks

The New one because refurbished items are crap. I bought a refurbished 360 and got red ring of death twice already.

It depends on the warranty for the 60gb, and if you're prepared to keep your ps2.



Cex (UK) does 1 yrs warranty, as do many companies you will order from online, but you MUST check. There are some compatibility issues with the backwards compatible PS3s not playing PS2 games,

That being said, I would get whichever is cheapest, you can always upgrade the memory if you run out, and you can do firmware updates by connecting ur ps3 to the internet.



Many say that backwards compatible features are not usually used on new consoles, and unless you're in the middle of a ps2 game, it's unlikely to cause too much of an issue for you to just keep ur ps2 out.

get new PS3 80GB

go with the 60gb it's the best model and you can get warranty for up to 3 years with square trade....

if you have a PS2, go with the 80GB.
