Dude, if you want a Wii wait it out. I purchased a PS 3 and all it does is collect dust. My 360 and Wii get more playing time then my PS3.

Here are my systems in rank of time spent playing:

1. XB360

2. Wii

3 PS2

4. XBOX (hacked to holy hell)

5. PS3

Tell me whats your PSN?

about the hard drives, yes you can put in pretty much any 2.5" hard drive in your PS3 (as long as it's RPM's aren't too high I believe).

However, if you have an external hard drive and a partitioning program, you can partition a portion of the hard drive to Fat32 and use that to store extra music, videos, or pictures for your PS3 as well.

Well ,if retrocompatibility doesnt bother you too much the 40Gb is an excellent option .The cameras and other devices can be connected through USB ports so you dont need the card readers ,you can use USB hubs to have 4 ports if you want ,and as for the space the hard drive is removable and you can connect external hard drives if you want so no big deal .

PS2 retro is the only thing really missing .But you can stick with your PS2 for that .

@Diomedes1976 Well yeah I have a PS2 that's not really hard to assume since 2% of the world population has one.

good reasons. if you like the PS3 games too, there is no reason not to go for it.

just make sure you really want a PS3 and not just getting it cos you can't get a Wii.
