You guys have no idea what you're talking about.
The $600 version has the 60 gig HDD, the $500 version has the 20. Now that the 20 has HDMI, the only difference between the more expensive one and the cheaper one is the inclusion of Wifi, the larger HDD, and some memory card readers. Also the HDD is 2.5" SATA and you will be able to replace it just by popping in another 2.5" drive. They've already confirmed this. As far as Wifi and the mem cards, you can just buy adaptors at the store and upgrade the cheaper version at a later date.
Considering most of you obviously haven't heard much regarding the system and are basing your decision on price alone, I'd recommend you actually check out some of the games. Most of the vids coming out of TGS are by-far the most impressive I've seen on a video game ever. |

The press release states several times that you can use USB mem readers or wifi adapters. So no you don't need "special" adapters.
What you do need a special adapter for is the older PS1/PS2 memory cards so you can use them if you choose.
Also the only color is "clear black". So all the silver images you've been seeing don't mean you can get a silver or black PS3...which honestly I think would have been cool if they had given us the choice. Oh well, its certainly an option down the road. |

No, but I do know the first TWO revisions of the playstation had overheating issues...the first version of the PS2 had overheating issues. Sony installed rootkits on users of their AUDIO CDs. Sony also made millions of defective batteries for laptops. They expect me to pay $500-$600 for a gaming console they are crazy, especially with their faulty manufacturing practices. |

| So you know Sony didn't make millions off of defective batteries. They are the ones paying for the recall so on the other hand they lost millions not to consider what they lost in consumer confidence. Hands down the power that is packed into this machine would rival two or three of the PC's you are on (In most cases). If you really want to know what is going on and the features they do have a website that tells you almost everything everyone here is talking about so just go there. |

My God, what are you ranting about? You're complaining about a game system that was released over ten years ago. The Xbox 360 was released with heating issues as well. You gonna slam Microsoft too? Don't bother trying to equate rootkits and laptop batteries to the PS3 developers. THOSE ARE DIFFERENT SONY BRANCHES. They have nothing to do with the division of Sony that makes the PS3. That's like complaining you will never buy from Taco Bell because Pizza Hut gave you food poisoning (being that both restaurants are owned by the same megacorp).
Considering the Xbox 360 went for about $400 with a hard drive, no 1080p native resolution and no HD DVD the PS3 coming in at $500 for the same sized hard drive and those other goodies mentioned I think it's a fair price. |

The 60GB comes with a wireless controller whereas the 20 GB comes with a wired controller. That probally doesn't matter to most I'm pointing out another difference. |

This is from an interview from the head guy at Sony himself
"you'll probably go for the 60GB version. If you're a complete music fan and video fan, and you want to have huge amounts of digital content, then you can upgrade to whatever size of drive you like. You can put any in that you like - it is a computer, after all.
So that hard drive is a standard PC drive?
ATA, bog standard, yeah."
of course the 20GB coming with HDMI is also fact. What exactly are you disputing? |

I believe they did make the batteries. |
