250gb or 120gb PS3

Lands Leaving

Moving on from my previous thread 'in which I learned of my desire for a PS3' I'm wondering which model to get? I want modern warfare 2 with it so I'm thinking the gamestop bundle with the 120gig and MW2 for €300 seems good. But it only has the 120gb drive. But I looked around online and saw its easy enough to swap in a bigger drive, so would I be better off just going 120gb now, catching up on games I've missed out on and putting a hard drive in if and when I need it? Or is there something I'm missing here?

Yep, I'd say just go for the 120GB one...
If you're not copying countless movies to it, downloading every single demo and installing every game out there*, it should last you quite a while.
It is incredibly simple to swap the hard drive, and you'll be able to pick up a 320GB+ one next year dirt cheap, so there's no point in parting with all that extra cash now imo.


*mandatory 4GB+ installs are a bitch!

I agree with tman, I replaced my 40gb drive with a 320gb when I had my phat, piece of píss to swap it out.

You have to use 2.5" (laptop size) sata drives, so you're kind of limited to 500GB maximum

Komplett can be good for them, but shipping is expensive if you're buying just 1 thing...

I have this one in mine and it does the job nicely:)

I'm waiting for a 1TB. They have already made a 3.5" 1TB, now all they have to do is make that little bit smaller
