Well it depends on what you are planning to store on it? Look at it like a PC hard drive, are you gonna fill it up with bare Files and Downloads or are you just gonna be gaming. If only Gaming 120gb is enough in my eyes.I've got the original 60gb Model, I only run outta space when am filling it up with 4gb Movie Files.

soo how much gb does the average film, and the average game gonna take up??

^ dunno about tht but just cop the cheapest120 slim should have more than enough mem for your needs and you can also use an external hd if you have one

Edit: Think the 80gb Model is backwards compatible, can someone confirm?

[Doug]

Bwoy may aswell get the 120 Slim 100% then, It's suppose to be quieter aswell. I've never used either memory card slots or PS1/PS2 Games on my 60gb so that was a waste.Bobby you will use ya memory for downloading Games/Demos/Packs from PSN aswell.

kool cheers for the info u man appreciated120gb it is then.

you can always change the hard drive if you want a bigger space
