Cheap PlayStation 3 80GB Console
There are cheap PlayStation 3 80GB consoles that can be found using online auctions and classified ads, although it is always a little risky to buy a system used since the former owner could have been rough on the system.
However, the new systems, especially the higher end systems such as the PlayStation 3 80GB console can be very pricey, costing around five hundred dollars new. Lesser systems do not have the same capabilities as the PlayStation 3 80GB console, and can limit what an individual can do with the system.

For instance, the 40 GB system will not play any of the PS2 games, so the individual is stuck having to buy a bunch of new games that are designed for the PS3 system, easily costing him the extra one hundred dollars that he could have paid for a PlayStation 3 80GB console which would have allowed him to play all of his old games as well.
Capabilities
The PlayStation 3 80GB console has a larger hard disk space which allows for a better gaming experience no matter what the game.
In addition, the system has an Ethernet and Wi-Fi capability so that the gaming system can be used online, allowing internet based games to be played at no additional cost in the PlayStation system.
Individuals can also surf the internet through the system, which means that the PlayStation 3 80GB console can be used as a mini computer, albeit without the word processing and other capabilities.
In addition, the system has the ability to play any DVDs and Blu-ray discs for another option of entertainment.
Although there is not a remote that comes with the system for these features, the controller can be used to control all aspects of the DVD or Blue-ray on the PlayStation 3 80GB console, so it really removes the need for a separate remote for the system.

Another nice feature of the PlayStation 3 80GB console is that it can sit in the cabinet either horizontally or vertically, thus saving space and giving the individual options in how to position the system.
The system cannot withstand having other materials being placed on top of it, so that is one caution for new users of the PlayStation 3 80GB console.
In addition, there are not separate units to supply the power to the PlayStation 3 80GB console as is the case with some systems like the Xbox which have a block that is plugged into the wall and the Xbox is plugged into the box so that more power is supplied to the gaming system.
