My friend is in a bit of a dilemma. He has been wanting a ps3 for a very long time. He has wanted one ever since he played Resistance: Fall of Man on my 60gb ps3. And now he finally has enough money to get one but since the 60gb is now not in production anymore he doesn't know what to get.

He either has the choice of getting a 40gb bundle (which is currently sold out) or a refurbished 60gb.
I am personally leaning towards the bundle because I think it has better value but it seems like he is dead set on getting a 60gb like mine.

40gb Bundle: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8071631

Refurbished 60gb: http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=64006

he doesnt have enough for 80 gig MGS4 bundle?

I let him play MGS4 and we found out its not the game for him.

Then he should buy the bundle and sell the game.

I say get the 60GB....Full Backwards Compatibility and other stuff is a great plus from the 40 and 80 GBs...

Why doesnt he buy the 40gb by itself for $399

Then buy a game for the ps3?

Just let you all know, he doesn't really have enough money for the 80gb bundle.

Does he want BC or not?

Tell him to buy Uncharted. I would go for the refurbished 60Gb just because of the BC, and there are not many issues with PS3 hardware

buy the 40gb, the space is more than enough and almost everyone has a Ps2!!
