As Ayman has said, you can easily change out the hard drive for something much larger on the cheap. And as BradVT figured out, the bundle on Sony Style is a normal 80GB PS3 together with MGS4.]]>May 16th 2008 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/
Yeah, you get to brag that your system has less features and has limited backwards compatibility, not to mention a smaller hard drive for $100 more than the 80 GB bundle.

I've gone to 8 different Gamestops in different areas.
I've actually talked to the Sony reps that inform GS about what their getting.
This has got to be a typo or something cause they have all said the gunmetal grey ps3 will be the 80.

Man I really hope this is a typo]]>May 16th 2008 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://digg.com/playstation/Gunmetal_Gray_MGS4_PS3_bundle_coming_to_North_America]]>May 16th 2008 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 2:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 3:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 1:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/
So, on one hand, I want the cool color (not a dust magnet like the gloss), and I really want the limited edition of the game too (way better box art). But, is it worth it to pay $100 more for the inferior hardware?

I'm leaning towards "no" right now...

But damn that color is so sweet.]]>May 16th 2008 1:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 2:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 2:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 3:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/

Also some comments on some other points:

Aceb - Unfortunately there is no error just check the link above for confirmation. The japaneese version was only 40GB as well.

cellulitis - You can't switch the insides. The 80GB boards are larger than those of the 40GB and thusly will not fit into a 40GB case; not to mention the fact that you would have to cut two more usb slots into the case to allow for the 2 additional ports. Hmmm spend $600 on a PS3 and the cut on it.... I think not.

Personally I think the standard 80GB bundle is the way to go.]]>May 16th 2008 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 17th 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 19th 2008 4:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/May 16th 2008 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/16/metal-gear-solid-4-limited-edition-ps3-for-north-america-detaile/
