A 12GB PS3 would be horrendous seeing we have to install everything. I don't even see how they launched it in EU.

The biggest mandatory install game in PS3 is close to 5GB... and you can add any 2.5" HDD to the PS3.

I definitely would buy the 12GB instead any other version because I don't like the original 5400RPM HDD... I prefer to buy my own HDD (or SSD).

I have my original PS3 HDD new without never used... when I bought mine there were no opition without HDD

I guess you never played Rage and MGS4 then. Both push the 8-9GB mark. If someone buys either game with their 12Gb slim, they're toast!

If they do a $199 bundle or something i will definitely pick a ps3 up, so i can finally play GOW 3 and Ascension :)



seems kinda pointless... for 70$ more dollars you can get an extra 488 GB and Grand Theft Auto 5

I got my 250gb PS3 Super Slim for $199 last black friday and it came with Uncharted 1+2 & Infamous 1+2. That was a badass deal.

Can you install games on an external HDD or usb?  If not then this is useless.

You can install a HDD.

And 12GB is enough to any mandatory install game or play 99% of the downloaded games... you just have the mess to install and uninstall every time you got low space.


I had to smile when I read that :)

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots hid 4.6GB
Devil May Cry 4 had 5GB
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds scored 5GB
BioShock and BioShock 2 each sucked up 5GB
Fallout: New Vegas stole 5GB
Yakuza 3 “borrowed” 5GB
Yakuza: Dead Souls gobbled 5.1GB
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim occupied 5.5GB
Rage hogs 8GB
And Grand Theft Auto V will need 8GB



Just wanted to mention that you need the hard drive brackets if you want to put a hard drive into the 12 GB PS3. They cost about 10 €.

1 TB HDDs are available around here for 60 €. PS3 12 GB is available for 160 €. So you can get a 1 TB PS3 for 230 €, which is pretty good, I think.

MGS4 install uses 4.6GB all chapters... Rage is 8GB.

Like I said you install Rage, play it, uninstall it, install MGS4, play it, uninstall it, bla, bla, bla.

You can play all PS3 games with a 12GB model... no restriction... even downloaded games, you download, play, delete, download other game, play, delete, bla, bla, bla.

You just have the inconvenience of waiting the install/uninstall, download/delete, etc.
