Default 120gig vs 160gig PS3?

Well Need a new PS3, one I was using was My bro's and he's moving out and taking it with him soo... Gotta buy a new one. Now.. there's two different PS3 I'm looking at future shop, ones the regular 120gig and this "new" 160gig, Besides the HD space, is there any difference?

Sony probably found the 160 gig hard drive to be cheaper and more common than the 120... looks to be the same system.

Not to long ago, I remember hearing that the difference between them other than the harddrive was backwards-compatibility, meaning being able to play PS2 games on it. One of them was able to do so, one wasn't. But that might have been with the 60gig and the 80gig PS3s. And I don't know if that was even true in the first place or not. But I am an Xbox man, so my knowledge is very limited here..

There is no difference between the two. the 80 gigs were the last one with backwards anything.

40 gigs is really cheap. you can always upgrade the hard drive as well. throw a nice 500 gig or 1TB in there.

Ok, that's what I thought. Can't you add an external harddrive to a PS3, too?

Yes, you can. But only for game save files and music. No game installs.
