PS3 80GB vs 160GB: Which Is Better?

The 160GB PS3 is generally better than 80GB:

160GB Advantages

• Double Storage: More games, saves, downloads.
• PS2 Backward Compatibility: 160GB (and later) plays PS2 games; 80GB does not.
• Better Blu-ray Drive: Less prone to disc scratching.

Considerations

• Price: 160GB typically more expensive used.
• Rarity: 80GB is collector's item.
• Updates: 160GB may receive more updates (later release).

Choose Based On

• Storage/BC/Drive: 160GB
• Budget: 80GB (if no PS2 games planned)
• Collecting: 80GB

Note: Both old—consider newer PlayStation for best experience.
