Questions about PS3

I know there was a thread about camping out for the PS3, but I thought a more general discussion of the system might be in order.

I will eventually purchase a PS3, though I've been checking them out on eBay with ideas toward flipping one. In the meantime, I'm curious if anyone else has bought one yet.

They have the 20GB and 60GB versions, but I'm wondering if you even need a 60GB version. What's the point of it? Is it just for saving games, or does it somehow affect gameplay? If it is just for saving games, do you really need 60 gigs to save stuff?

Anyway, just thought I'd start a thread for general info about the system (how does it compare to Xbox 360 for instance). So your thoughts and any answers to the above questions are encouraged.

 

It's like the iPod. Does anyone really need an 80-gig or 60-gig iPod? Heck, I have a 30-gig and have a fair amount of music, and I'll never come close to filling that sucker.

 

I have an 8gig nano and it's barely half full.

As for the PS3, I haven't even read a word about it, so I'm of no use. I'll check out of this thread now.

 

I "flipped" an XBox360 last year. Ended up making about $250. Decided that wasn't worth the headache of doing the same with a PS3 this time around.

Oops.

 

I'm waiting for the new Colecovision to come out.

Auction prices are falling on the two systems. May want to reconsider trying to flip one now.
