Which PS3 SKU do you own

[The Mana Knight]

Well, I've seen threads like this at PSU and noticed there has never been a thread here asking people what PS3 SKU they have. I think it would be interesting to figure out what percentage of CAG members own each SKU.

If people wonder what SKU do they vote for if they upgraded their HDD, vote for the SKU your original HDD came from. If you have an all black PS3 (regardless of HDD), you vote 20GB.

Anyway, I have a 20GB PS3. Finally upgraded the HDD to a 250GB. :D

80GB for me. Although I wish I could have gotten a 60GB for the better BC.

[StrandedBrit]

Gots me a 60GB last summer, and it's still kicking.

[Maklershed]

60gb :whee:

[DomLando]

60GB for me.

[magiic]

sixty here

[RedvsBlue]

I got a 60 last fall just before they started to disappear.

[Jobbercho]

60

[Morphine]

80 since January

[irishsoccermbw]

60, thank you gamerush :)

[screwkick]

60 gig

[Bioshocked360]

I got a 60 last summer.

[Machine]

I picked up my 60 in December '06

[doubledown]

Wow, more 60GB than I thought. I have a 60GB also and I would glady sell it if I could get a premium for it. I have no desire for BC honestly.

[blackjaw]

60gig...love my BC

[ashram]

60gb here (from last april) just picked up another 60 in january to send to iraq where my brother is stationed.

[bigl523]

60 as I have a bunch of PS2 games that I have yet to play.

[Negative]

Six O here.

[NamPaehc]

My 60GB owns me actually.

[aznguyen316]

I think there are "more" 60's because those are the users that want to come here to vote, you know to show they have the superior ps3. That's my opinion. It's a selective poll.

[NamPaehc]

Yeah because saying you have a 60GB makes you soooo cool!!

The 60 isn't that much more superior in my book. Once the PS2 hits $99, the desire to find them for BC is going to go out the window.

[Lorddraco07]

60gb here also. :)

[Hockey37]

80GB, the one good thing that came out of the CompUSA closing for me.

[tholly]

80 GB

Came with Motorstorm + 15 Free Blu-rays

[aznguyen316]

wow @ the 15 free BD's, what deal was that one?

[dallow]

The hell, me and Mana are the only two 20GB owners?

:)

[rodeojones903]

60GB here.

[The Mana Knight]

I think there are "more" 60's because those are the users that want to come here to vote, you know to show they have the superior ps3. That's my opinion. It's a selective poll.Well, actually, there are tons of 60's because people had a choice at launch as to whether they wanted 60 or 20, and the majority wanted 60. The 20GB was discontinued at the end of 2006 in the U.S., so that's why next to no one has one. Secondly, the 60 was the first to drop price because they were getting rid of the SKU (The 80GB was initially $600). As soon as the 60GB became more scarce (some retailers still had them), the 80GB dropped price and the 40GB just came in. 60GB will have the most people due to it being the SKU around for the longest and it hasn't become hard to find until a few months ago.

I can say by the 2008 Holiday season, the percentage of 60GB owners will be cut in half (since production has ended), 40GB will see the biggest spike (At PSU, 40GB is the 2nd highest SKU), and the 80GB will increase just a little (because the MGS bundle is still limited and the consoles used for it are 80GB ones Sony hasn't shipped to retailers or MotorStorm bundles pulled off of the shelves).

But like I said, it just comes down to:
20GB being only available for 2-3 months really (very hard to find after that).
60GB was available for 12 months at least (to a point you could find a new one without many issues accross the country).
40GB just has 4 months.
80GB has 8 months, yet no one started bothering with it until October (meaning it's really 5 months).
The hell, me and Mana are the only two 20GB owners?

:)
daroga and naes have one, I just gotta get them to vote in this poll.

I have 2X the HDD as you though. ;)

[Maklershed]

I have a 60gb because a) backwards compatibility is very important to me b) they announced it would be discontinued c) it was $20 off at amazon, came with 5 free hd dvds with rebate, and 5 free via amazon.

[DAWG26]

40 gb here. I REALLY regret not getting an 80gb.

[geko29]

60GB and 2 40GBs. The 60GB I bought first, when they were being clearanced (got Heavenly Sword and the remote for free), because I wanted one of the full BC units. The 40s I bought for my parents and father-in-law as Blu-Ray players.

My attach rate is 0.33 :)

[fuss]

I got the OG 60 GB before the price drop! *sniff*

[bornrunnin31]

60GB thanks to Meijer and their generous 30% off when you open their credit card.

[archibishopthedoge]

I have a 250 GB :D

originally a 40 though

[MSUHitman]

60GB bought the weekend of the first price drop.

[The Mana Knight]

60GB thanks to Meijer and their generous 30% off when you open their credit card.I would have gotten my 20GB PS3 cheaper at Meijer IF that one guy didn't take the PS3 away from me just to sell it on ebay (because Meijer had a 15% sale when you use your Meijer CC. The guy didn't have one and my parents did, so I was going to use theirs. I just took to long to decide). I was going to wait for another one, but I was losing sleep for a while since I couldn't stop thinking about a PS3, so I bought one 11 days later when I saw one again.

Proof I have a 20GB

Has that wonderful $499.99 Meijer pricetag on it, which I paid. :D

[Mechafenris]

I got a 20, but upgraded it to 120GB. ;) I didn't need wireless or the media reader (not compelling for me...)

And the monochromatic gloss black is a nice addition to my glossy black Samsung LCD. :)

[naes]

20GB. Need to update my HDD though.

[dallow]

My 20GB came from me doing so well with reselling my first 60GB on ebay that I kept a spare 20GB I also had purchased.

So, it was free, with lots of money to spare.
It also has 120GB drive now, but I want to upgrade even that now. :/

[The Mana Knight]

I got a 20, but upgraded it to 120GB. ;) I didn't need wireless or the media reader (not compelling for me...)

And the monochromatic gloss black is a nice addition to my glossy black Samsung LCD. :)I wish I had WiFi. Although I'm wired, there are times I'd like to be wireless.

I'm glad I waited to upgraded, since the 250GB price came way down. 120GB is not enough for me.

[spidey]

60 GB here, sent it for replacement once. Return unit also a 60.

[aznguyen316]

wow, I've been d/l random demos and crap, uploaded some videos and pics.. but what are you guys using on the HDD to use up even 120gb lol. got 80gb.

[dallow]

wow, I've been d/l random demos and crap, uploaded some videos and pics.. but what are you guys using on the HDD to use up even 120gb lol. got 80gb.I got my 120GB drive down to less than a gig before deleting crap.

It's mostly the ton of videos I've kept since launch from the PSN store.

[The Mana Knight]

wow, I've been d/l random demos and crap, uploaded some videos and pics.. but what are you guys using on the HDD to use up even 120gb lol. got 80gb.DMC4 has a ~5GB install. Hot Shots Golf: OoB has a ~4GB install. Heavenly Sword has a ~2GB install. Add games with optional installs, some demos ranging from 400MB-1.7GB, some patches are big, PSN games (ranging from 50MB to 800MB), and other things and you'll quickly fill it. I have 165GB of free space on my 250GB.

[freakyzeeky]

I got me a 60GB as soon as Sony mentioned the removal of the EE chip for BC. BC is very important to me, which is why I bought right then and there. :)

[NJMane]

60GB for me.

[chodax]

I'm in the elite group of the 20 gig PS3s, and I upgraded it to a 160 gb HD.

[Aleryn]

My 60GB owns me actually.

Exactly. Not as many games as I'd like, but I love my 60GB SOOOO much =)

[Solid-Snake-08]

I have the 60 G, ive been eyeing the ps3 before launch and lets just say i made the right move on purchasing the ps3 much earlier(with the bc and all).

[qruqid]

2 of the 60 GB ...but im liking the white and gun metal grey ones ...hope they come to the US market

[Rollett]

I have the 60 as well :)

[magiic]

wow a ton of people have sixties

[Hostile]

Early adopters? Or they were really worried about the PS2 emulation.

I have an 80 GB but I'm starting to get worried about that too. I don't think Sony cares anymore to update it. Shit...

[mguiddy]

Ditto. Upscaling BC was the biggest selling point for me.

[ZerotypeX]

60!

[geko29]

Early adopters? Or they were really worried about the PS2 emulation.

That second statement definitely describes me. I had ZERO interest in the PS3, except possibly as a Blu-Ray player (though I would have preferred a standalone), until the 40GB was announced. As soon as they did that, it was clear that BC was an endangered species, and I snapped up a 60GB to prevent (non-)buyer's remorse.

If the 40GB hadn't been released, I probably wouldn't own a PS3 right now. Kind of paradoxical, I know. :)

[Chitown021]

60GB since a month after launch for me. I bought it for the BC but like doubledown I would consider selling it if I could get a premium for it since I've barely used that feature.

EDIT: Hmmm, after reading some of these posts maybe I should go in and see about deleting some of the hardware installs from old games I don't play anymore. I thought 60GB would be tons of room but I've already filled almost half of it!

[The Mana Knight]

If the 40GB hadn't been released, I probably wouldn't own a PS3 right now. Kind of paradoxical, I know. :)I was buying a PS3 regardless to anything (I bought before any talk of yanking BC out was announced). I knew what the PS3 came with was a good deal and I was buying it.

To an extent, I'd be fine with a 40GB since I rarely use my BC. PS2 games still look too ugly on my HDTV even with upscaling (I just stick to playing PS2 games on my PS2, on an SDTV, if I feel like playing a PS2 game).

[blandstalker]

I think there are more 60s because many CAGs saw the value in having BC and had sizeable PS2 collections.

For me, the ability to have one machine that does it all [more or less] is worth a little more expense because I don't have that much space for machines.

[aznguyen316]

I have an 80 GB but I'm starting to get worried about that too. I don't think Sony cares anymore to update it. Shit...

what do you mean about updating it? I understand it's software BC.. are you looking at future titles for PS2 or are you worried about getting older games that don't work well now to functioning w/o issues? all the games I care for now on PS2 work on my 80gb, which isn't a lot, but fine with me.

[MarkMan]

I have two 40s and a 60. Where do I vote :(

I'll vote 60... lol.

[The Mana Knight]

All fixes are stealth since Sony won't tell you they made fixes, gotta find it on their official site (since it says what firmware fixed what). We use to get updates every month, but it slowed down since many complained about too many updates.

[MorbidEclipse]

60 here ...love my backwards compatibility :)

[hone]

got a 60 since I never owned a ps2 really. Luckily a store had a launch 60 in Baltimore so I snatched it up. Enjoying the BC.

[magiic]

Early adopters? Or they were really worried about the PS2 emulation.

I have an 80 GB but I'm starting to get worried about that too. I don't think Sony cares anymore to update it. Shit...

I bought mine in October of last year because I wanted BC

[Ma12kez]

One more for 60GB.

[DAWG26]

Is it possible that Sony could release an update to allow BC on the 40 gb?

[mguiddy]

Is it possible that Sony could release an update to allow BC on the 40 gb?
Yes, anything is possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

[whoknows]

60gb since launch day.

[loca]

I have a launch 60GB. <3 but I don't have many games.

[spidey]

I have an 80 GB but I'm starting to get worried about that too. I don't think Sony cares anymore to update it. Shit...

I purchased mine late Feb/early March on a whim since I saw it lying there in Best Buy. I think it's also when rumors of the EE removal was going around so that played a role in my decision making process.

[naes]

DMC4 has a ~5GB install. Hot Shots Golf: OoB has a ~4GB install. Heavenly Sword has a ~2GB install.

I have 165GB of free space on my 250GB.
Oblivion: GotY has a 5GB install too.

[The Mana Knight]

Yes, anything is possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath.Very good chance they will (due to looking for people to do emulation), but it will not be until the emulator is finished and/or when you can no longer find PS2 consoles.

[Doc Bacca]

I got a 60 since July. Got it the first day of the price drop. I need wireless to play at home, so the 20 wasn't an option. I wanted the best bc because I didn't want to have to lug my ps2 off to college with me either.

[whoknows]

Oblivion: GotY has a 5GB install too.

So does normal Oblivion

[Loonknight]

I picked up the 60 with the sony credit card discount.

[Kendal]

I got a 60 GB for $400. I decided when more and more games for the PS3 were coming out that I wanted one, if I could get one for the price I paid for my 360 I would get it. Well if I had the money at the time. Luckily when the price drop happened and Meijer had a 20% off sale was on I had the monies. I wanted full BC and I wanted wireless. I am glad I got the 60 GB because I have actually utilized my media card reader. Now I need to upgrade my tiny 60 GB for at least a 250 GB HDD.

[Azumangaman]

I have a 60 GIG, and though I don't use it that much, I love the games I have for it.

[DeskLaser]

60 GB thanks to Goozex :D

[anarchyburger]

20gig. thanks cag and GS online

[mkda]

60gb. Got it for free 2 weeks after launch. :D

Might get the new MGS4 one just to put it elsewhere.

[jmillion]

got the 60gb after making massive credit @ Blockbusters/Gamerush around the holidays. im happy to have the BC in case i want to play some of my old Ps2 games. and seeing how i really didnt spend that much trading games(120) to get it im happy.

[Halo05]

20 gb, I need a new hard drive pretty soon, this one's about full.

[Nephlabobo]

60 gig. Got it last August for my birthday.

[GodlyOne]

I got the 60 GB of course, got it almost a year ago.

[bornrunnin31]

Interesting to me that the 80gb and 40gb are just about neck and neck. My guess as to why the 60gb is winning is due to the fact it was in production the longest, along with the first price drop to $500 combined with the removal of the EE BC.

[The Mana Knight]

In forums with several from Europe, you'll see many more 40GB owners since that's all they have right now (never got an 80GB).

[VanillaGorilla]

Is it just me, or does all this "SKU" stuff just make people sound stupid?

I have a 40 Gig.

[Hostile]

Meh. It works and I don't see a problem with it.

[aihuman]

20gb ftw.

[Maklershed]

Does the 20gb model have any advantage over the 60gb model? Just curious.

[aihuman]

Does the 20gb model have any advantage over the 60gb model? Just curious.
No.The 60gb has wifi,a card reader and chrome.The 20gb does not.

[geko29]

Does the 20gb model have any advantage over the 60gb model? Just curious.

It's 100% black, so it looks better in a large stack of AV components. That's about it.

[hone]

I beleive mana has mentioned something about the 20gb having smaller hd caching
