60GB PS3 vs 80GB MGS4 PS3?

[Perfect*Ending]

From what I understand, they're pretty much the same right?

The main difference is that the 60GB is 99% compatible with PS2 games via hardware emulation, while the 80GB one is 95% compatible with PS2 games via software emulation.

New 60GB ones are around $800, while new 80GB MGS4 ones are around $520 (as of this writing).

Is there any real advantage to going with the 60GB ones to warrant nearly a $300 difference?

More like a disadvantage, since I believe the 60GB are more susceptible to the YLOD

I thought that the 80GB had like 90% compatibility? Doesn't really matter though, go with the 80GB. For $300 more, it's not worth it. Also, 60GB models are less reliable. (Nothing like the 360, but they're still pretty faulty.)

the 80gig MGS model is supposed to be the most sturdy BC model around. I've had no problem from mine.
