I have not owned a console since the mid 90's. I'm looking to pick up a PS3 because, I really want to play the Uncharted series.

Is a 20g worth $185? Also, would I be able to connect it up to my PC monitor? I'm pretty sure it has an HDMI port.

Yeah; not sure if the deal's still going on, but on Black Friday there was a 250gb bundle for $200. If it's gone, it'll probably come back around as we get closer to Christmas, so I'd definitely wait and get that if I were you and you're looking to buy.

Many PS3 games require large forced installs. 20gb probably isn't enough.

If you are only interested in Uncharted series you are good to go. If you get more games you might have to delete saved data or you could just throw in a bigger HD like I did

20gbs? Not worth it, part of the reason why buying a PS3 now is a good idea is PS+ and 20gb just isn't enough.

I wouldn't. Also, just an FYI, the 20GB model DOES NOT have WiFi.

No, that's a terrible deal. I have an old 40GB model and having so little harddrive space is a major problem.

The Uncharted series isn't even close to being the best reason to own a PS3. There are a ton of exclusives worth checking out.

I'm going to have to agree with every other person in this thread: 20GB is not nearly enough storage for a PS3.

The 20g PS3's where only out at launch and had missing hardware, and probably has a lot of miles on it by now. So unless you really need to play PS2 games on it no, you might as well spend a few extra dollars and get a new slim with a bigger hard drive.

I would go for the higher hard drive model. Like others have said, a lot of games require installs, which will get old fast. On top of that, if you really get into the system, and end up buying PS+, you're going to starting regretting your decision in record speed.

Yep, PS+ is an amazing feature for new owners (something like 12 really good games 'free' at the moment), The latest addition Crysis 2 is nearly 20gig by itself though.

Wait is that an older model? With PS2 backwards compatibility? If it is then it's good pick.
