PlayStation 3 (80GB):
PlayStation has long been my favorite gaming console and I am not budging even with the launch of the Xbox and the Wii. In this review, we shall take a look on why the PlayStation 3 (80GB) has once again outdone its predecessors (as well as competitors) and will have no problems holding on to its reign as one of the most popular game consoles in the market.
There are currently two versions of PlayStation 3 (80GB) in the market. One comes with Metal Gear Solid 4 (MGS) while the other just comes with the game console alone. There are several differences between these two packages and it will be useful to examine them a little further before making your purchase. Read more below....

First of all, the one that comes with MGS is about $100-$200 bucks more expensive that the one without MGS. The one with the MGS use to have a larger hard drive and dual-shock controller (previously not found on the standalone), serving a good enough reason for consumers to spend the extra bucks on it. With the release of the new PlayStation 3 (80GB) that includes both those features, there is little that differentiates between the MGS and non- MGS pack.
The MGS pack is compatible with PS2 and PS1 games while the standalone unit is only backward compatible with PS1 games. The MGS pack has 4 USB ports and some memory card slots while the standalone unit only no memory card slots and only 2 USB slots.
Although this seems to be good enough of a reason to get the PlayStation 3 (80GB) with the MSG pack, there is one big difference that may influence you to get the standalone unit. The new standalone PlayStation 3 (80GB) runs on a smaller 65nm cell processor while the one with the MGS pack runs on a 90nm. With the smaller cell processor, the standalone unit runs much quieter and consumes much less power. Because of that is doesn't get overheated easily.
Depending on what you are looking for, both the standalone unit and the MGS pack have their own pros and cons. Both these packs comes with a built in Blu-Ray DVD player that is a big incentive for you to purchase any of these units. They are also both Wi-Fi ready.
