It depends what you want to use it for. Others mentioned blu-ray, and I'd like to add that I think the PSN marketplace has better choices as far as original games or minigames.

My PS3 so far has been used for movies, my backlog of PS2 and PS games, and as a media center. (PS3 will soon support divx, so you can watch movies or TV programs you've downloaded on your PC in turn on your PS3, if you're into that kind of thing.)

As for more games being on 360, I'd never buy more than a handful anyways, so it really doesn't apply to me. I'd only end up getting (maybe) Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Rainbow Six Vegas.

If you like online gaming, a pure variety of games, or chatting it up with friends, then your choice is clear.

If you like a wide variety of high-def movies, backwards compatibility, or if you plan on using your system more for personal use, I'd say your choice is clear as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

40 gig model will not have it at all.
80 gig model will have software updates that enable more games (Kinda like Microsoft's model right now)
60 gig model (the one that's being phased out) has the PS2 hardware already built into it, so you'll be able to play 99% of PS2 and PS games with no problems whatsoever.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've heard a few different figures on how much of the PS2 and PS library works perfectly with the 80 gig, but most of them are high-- around 70-80%. For me it's just a little more peace of mind knowing I don't have to worry about whether it will work or not.

Apparently they updated the BC site to include 60 gig versus 80 gig, too, so you can check up on your personal library. PlayStation.com

How ya doing, buddy?
