PS3 Questions

[webweb]

Right lads, I need some quick answers as I'm going to gamestation 1/2 hours.
what i need to know is:

1) do I really need the 80gb version or is 40gb more than enough?

2) are the current PS3 models backwards compatible (i.e. play PS2 games)??

Any help is much appreciated.

PS - sorry I know this is kinda in the wrong place, but I need answers fast.

Yep, definately in the wrong place. You get no extra credit for knowing it mind you.

1) If you can afford it get the 80. Chances are as things improve on the PSN you'll find ways of filling it.

2) The 40Gb had no backwards compatability. Based on that I highly doubt the 80 has either.

Fast enough?

yeh, well I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been answered in time on any other forum.

Cheers though

just get the 80gb just incase u need to memory.

Ive got 40gb and i think ive only used about 4 GB lol had it for about 7 months.

Yeh i think the 80gb is the way to go, im just glad i got my 60gb when i had the chance, although i do worry it will pack in :S

RN50 what's ur PSN details, i'll get a game against u when we both have PES if u want???

Why? PS3 has a pretty good record for reliability all things (and Xbox) considered.

Got my 60Gb on release day & only problem is i have to keep hoovering it. It's a friggin' dust magnet compared to my 360...

I speak to quite a few other guys from Scotland & quite a few of them have had problems with the 60gb models, although it may have been just a few freak incidents but i'll just keep my fingers crossed, so true about being a dust magnet though lol.

Cool mate, will add u 2nite.

It's likely the dust is a factor in their problems. Like all electrical equipment, vents should be kept clear to allow air to flow & cooling to work efficiently.

It's a sad fact that the older you get, the more you enjoy hoovering vents. :no:

Is hoovering your PS3 safe and will it not mess up the PS3 altogether???
