I bought a 60GB at American launch at Toys r Us along with my Wii(preordered at the same time picked up at the same time)
After looking at the game line up I decided to let it slide and gave it as a gift(unopened) a week or two later.
By me there was a sale in September for a 60GB PS3 + extra controller +lair or heavenly sword. Upon hearing about the 40GB I rolled the dice and grabbed my own 60 GB and heavenly sword though I returned that towards credit unopened about 3 days later for Ratchet and Clank(they actually let me trade it in without a receipt ^^) and I purchased folklore. I did this cause B.C. is important to me, originally I had decided to hold out for games and a silver model but the thought of the 40GB actually scared me into buying it lol
Thus far it's a decent console but I just don't enjoy it like I do my Wii or 360. I really do want to like it but thus far there's not much I like for it. I guess the feeling that I was rushed in a sense added to my discontent though.
