    check whether there's a big 8 followed by a big 0 on the front of the box

    I presume not but the only reason I can assume he wants to know is so he knows how much space he has which would be answered by the directions above :)

    if the box says 80gb it doesnt matter what hard drive is in it, its still an 80gb model

    Assuming you haven't changed the harddrive, sounds like an 80GB model to me. you'll never get the full 80GB in the storage information but 74GB is close enough :)

    You would have got the newer version of the 80GB PS3 in that case. As far as I can tell, only the number of USB ports and card reader are the differences

    That's the original 60GB, not 80GB
