Help me choose a PS3
Best Buy has a new 80GB PS3 bundle w/ Killzone 2 and MGS4 that supposedly went on sale last Sunday.

^ that one is what i'd go with unless you need PS2 BC now then it'd be 60gig refurb or an 80gig refurb.
HDMI cable is like 10 bucks online. Extra controller's are 40 bucks new off of NewEgg/Amazon and they all have USB unless you mean a hub or something which you can get cheap as well.
Not getting that bundle. Not that it isn't a good deal, but I want the free lifetime warranty that Sam's Club and Costco offer. I have had awful luck with my consoles.
Tough choice, but if you do go with the 160GB you could always buy the HDMI (and maybe the USB Cable), on monoprice.com, for less than $5 (each, plus tax/shipping).
Extra Controller as stated above by NintenDood, but you could prolly wait on it fer a bit, if ya don't need it right away :)
I have 2 $5 HDMI's from MonoPrice, 1 $80 one from BestBuy, and also the one that came with my 360 Elite... and the picture quality is identical on all of them.
" @Subject2Change: HDMI cables can be 3 or 5 bucks if you know where to look. "Ya I know but with shipping its like 10 bucks on Monoprice :p Shipping is usually more than the cable cost. Paid like 9 bucks for a 25' Coaxial and it was mainly in ship cost lol.
If your willing to spend the extra money i'd go with the 160gb bundle although the bundle with killzone 2/mgs4 would be a good idea to look into.
I thought the Costco one had the Blu-Ray remote as well? Or was that an old bundle they used to have?
Anyway, either the Costco one because honestly, having that second controller is crucial and its an easy way to get along with HDMI cables. Though if you would get the one with MGS4 and Killzone 2, then I think that would probably be the best bet overall. Though that one wasn't on your list.
Go with the 80gig. You can always upgrade to a 320gb or more sized hard drive for less than $100 that it would cost to go for the Uncharted bundle.
