I have a 40GB PS3 with a sixaxis, the PS3 stopped working. Now the big question is, should I get it fixed at sony for 180$ (not sure if tax is included) or should I jump on the next PS3 deal and get a 120GB+ PS3 with a dualshock 3 and probably a game or two for probably 300$ ? so a refurbish 40GB PS3 for 180$? or a new 120GB+ PS3, a dualshock 3 and hopefully a game or two for 300$? (The best deal so far being Uncharted, Ratchet&Clank : a Crack in time and LBP:GOTY + 160GB PS3 for 300$) |

If you can get all 3 of those games for free with it, don't own any of them and want them, that's the better deal. LBP and R&C alone make up the difference between repairing and buying a new one. Toss in Uncharted and the fact it's a new PS3 then that's the better choice. |

I'd go with the 120GB my man. The price difference is $100 bucks and your getting games that are worth more than that in the bundle. I'm in a similar boat. I got my 360 back in 2006. It has like 12GB of hard drive space. It's almost full with arcade games. Now, I can spend $150 on a new hard drive or $300 on a 360 Elite with HDMI input, 250GB of HD space and Modern Warefare 2. I'm leaning toward the Elite. 8) |

KKND, I would suggest backing up your hard drive either way and making sure all of your trophies have been synced. There is a rumor that another price cut for both systems will come by or during Summer so both of you might want to wait but they might not come with all of those games so it is up to you. |

Right on, I hadn't heard that. Thanks for the heads up. 8) |

What the hell is an HDMI input? I have an arcade and I got it hooked up with an HDMI cable. Hell for a while I was switching the cord between the PS3 and the 360 with no problems (finally broke down and bought a second) and it lets me play games at 1080p. What is so special about the elite? |

I think he meant output and my arcade had one as well. |

My 360 only came with component and composite output. No HDMI. I don't know how in the world yall's had HDMI. Maybe you bought it after I did. Who knows. The Elite has the hard drive space and the hdmi output. That's what's "special" about it. 8) |

Everything, everything, EVERYTHING!

First couple batches of the 360s didn't come with the HDMI port. Wasn't until around the time when the Halo 3 edition came out that they started adding them to the regular ones. |

I guess I'll keep an eye on any price drop announcement then (maybe E3?) Thanks for the inputs :) |

It just price dropped in the US (don't know about Canada). I'd be highly surprised if it price dropped again any time soon. |

I'm not in a hurry to get another PS3, it gives me an excuse to play the older games for now :D |

Fair enough. Do you have a 360 too or just the PSWii? |
