    i thought it came with the 80GB, BC and all? Or is that something different? moot point, because my 60 GB ps3 is pimp.

    It's was never confirmed it was going to be a 80GB here it was all just speculation.

    apparently it is because the press release specified 40 gb

    which is dumb for $600

    I'll have to get a PS3 soon.

    Mainly for MGS4, Killzone 2, and Resistance.

    But my 360 comes first, and with all the good games coming out for the 360 this year, I doubt I'm going to have any money left for a PS3.

    there is a bundle with a regular 80gb ps3 and regular edition of the game

    and that's $500

    so I guess the question is are you willing to pay more for a ps3 with less features that is grey and comes with a making of dvd or whatever

    My understanding is there going to be 2 MGS4 bundles. One is a black 80GB one with MGS4 for $500. The other is a gunmetal grey 40GB one with MGS4 for I guess $600.

    Honestly, who'd pay an extra $100 for a special color?

    You know, caring about hard drive sizes on the PS3 seems a bit silly

    It's a standard, user-upgradeable 2.5" SATA drive, you can get a 400 gig version for like $80

    Yeah I honestly don't even think it looks as nice, but that's beside the point. The point is what its capabilities are. It's a piece of hardware first and foremost, not a decoration.

    Right, but that costs eighty dollars and you have to put in some effort. So there is some reason there.

    Issues like backwards compatibility are also important.

    Yeah I know I was just saying that on top of everything else hardware wise the black looks better

    Yeah but that's 400 gigabytes. If you just bought a 40 gig and wanted to go to an 80, you could probably grab one from the bottom of a box of Fruity fucking Pebbles

    And I thought all the currently in production PS3s had the same backwards-compatibility schema

    Also, the effort to switch out hard drives is basically 1) back up your data with a few button presses 2) take out old hard drive 3) stick in new, bigger hard drive

    and with streaming and the ability to use external hard drive, space really is a moot point on the ps3 hard drive unless you buy tons and tons of game with huge installs.

    huh.

    So they've still got the software/hardware split?

    And the 80 gig has the good one, I assume?

    I've had it almost 2 months, bought a Dualshock 3, and the most it's played is the MGO beta and the Burnout demo.

    I played it on normal and hard

    it was tough as first but once it clicks it's pretty manageable. I mean I was entertaining myself on the normal enemies by seeing how cinematic i could make their deaths sometimes but it was still challenging, no doubt.

    I mean Alma for example wiped the floor with my ass probably dozens of times and it's not like I just waltzed through it, but once you can position yourself right to be ready to dodge her whenever and know when to hit her and how then you've got 90% of it down

    this dude's got it down: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GtWOjcp14FI (nsfw for demon bits at the beginning)

    god damn i'm looking forward to the new one

    Uh, that's a cutscene. There's no combat going on there.

    Did you mean this?

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=GbMFnWyr44g&feature=related

    If so, that's not Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and Alma appears to be significantly weaker in that version. Also, the guy uses ninpo FOUR TIMES and chugs two Great Spirit Elixirs.
