The Difference Between 20GB - 60GB PS3 Models.
I was checking out the PlayStation 3 bundle orders on EBgames.com when I noticed they had up a comparison list of the 20GB model versus the 60GB model. To be honest, I already knew the difference between the two were minimum (unlike the core Xbox 360 to the premium), but I didn't think both versions were this similar.

*The specs highlighted in red are the differences.
Unless you want Wi-Fi, the ability to upload content from your PC on to your PS3, and a larger HD, both versions of the consoles are exactly alike (even including a wireless controller). The only reason I'll pick up the 60GB version is for the larger hard drive, but I wouldn't pass up on the 20GB model if it was the only one left available.

Just did some quick math...
Xbox 360 premium = $399.99 USD
Xbox 360 HD-DVD = $199.99 USD
$599.99 USD...sounds like a certain Playstation 3, except it (PS3) has Wi-Fi...
I guess that it all depends on how you look at it. No matter what, great games will be around for everyone!
100 euros for 40 extra Gigas and a WiFi thingy? Ridiculous...
If you get a 20gb system will you be able to connect it to wi-fi externally? Also HDMI externally also?
