[spykar_911]

Hello.i want to buy ps3.but i am confused between the two models.i will be playing using discs only.no need of multiplayer or online buying from playstation store.i am confused for 500gb version.somebody told me that we can't store games in hardisk on new models.so whats the use of 500gb if we cant use it to play games.do i need 500gb if i buy game disks? also,someone has console of old firmware and he says that games can be loaded in the harddisk ,thus no need of game disks.he wants to sell me it for the price of new ps3 500gb.so,should i buy 12gb or new 500gb or that used one 500gb.price of 12gb is rupees 16000. And 500gb is 23000.please help me to decide best buy.thanks.

Entire games cannot be copied from the disc to the hard drive on a PS3, but some games will store data on the hard drive. Also, any games downloaded from the Playstation Network will be stored on the hard drive, so your "friend" is wrong.

Also, the hard drive is replaceable, so if the 12 GB model is cheap enough, you can buy a hard drive and the bracket separately.

As to whether you need the 500 GB model or not, that depends on how many games you are planning on playing. 12 GB won't store much game data.

I asked him and he said that he had jailbreak his ps3.so he can save entire game in harddisk.anyways,if i dont play multiplayer and dont buy games from playstation network,will 12gb be enough?also i will be playing 2 or 3 games atmost at a time.if i buy gta 5 disc,will it run on 12gb model?if not i will buy 500gb model.waiting for suggestion.thanks.

GTA 5 saves a lot of data on the PS3 itself. You also have to remember software updates, which are stored on the PS3 out of necessity since the discs cannot be written to. I'd recommend getting the 500 GB model.

I suspected your friend had modded his PS3 since no PS3 model has ever allowed saving an entire game (except for the ones from the Playstation Network) to the hard drive. Not even the fat models (I have an original 60 GB backwards compatible model I upgraded to 500 GB) allowed that.

Thankyou very much for ur suggestion sir.now i understand, ever if i buy game disk,the game will install some game files on hardisk to run.so 12gb is pretty very less.thanks for clarifying my doubt.i will buy 500gb model.one last question plz,should i buy that modded ps3 or go with new one?
