Ok heres the problem (or not) someone at work wants to buy my old 60Gb PS3 off me for £250, this includes my 160GB HDD. Looking around thats not a bad price and ill have plenty enough cash to get an 80gb with the money from that and some old games ill sell him. Ive not used the PS2 emulation for nearly a year now, I use the card readers quite a bit but have a couple of card readers about, and have no use for SACD. So the dilema is, he isnt going to wait for ever for me to sell it, probably only a week or so, but its a great price IMO. The problem is do I buy an 80GB PS3 now or wait till the slim comes out mid August/September, i guess i could get an 80GB and trade it back in (for less money) when the slim is out. One more issue is if the slim is out September time im sure the 80GB price will drop by at least £100 to clear the channels August, so i will be losing out that way as not only will i have paid more for it i will get less trade in. A few options i have that may or not work is that,
Keep my 60GB until nearer the time (hoping they dont announce PS2 emu for all PS3's) get less money for it but not run the risk of it costing me more to get a slim in the long run.
Sell my PS3 and sit on the money till it comes out, not sure if i could wait 2 months without a PS3, sure i can still game on my 360, wii and PC but ill miss my BDs and PS3 games.
Sell my PS3 get an 80gb now trade in games for credit etc etc then get slim when it comes out and trade in 80Gb, but after a month or so use it will be worth less than half i paid for it.
It all depends on the rumours of the slim happening soon to be correct, which in most Sony type things seems to be true as they seem to be leakier than a cheap babies nappy.

conference planed for GC in Germany in a few weeks time, maybe they will announce it thier like they did the 80GB and 160GB the year before.
i got 260 with some games and my old 160GB HDD, decided to trade it in and told my friend at work to get it from there. I now have a not so shiny but new 80GB PS3 with Ghost busters and Infamous, worth nearly £ 50 if i trade them in again so not so bad. Going to miss my 4 usb ports but i got another DS3 rather than my old sixaxis spare controller. Now im expecting a £100 price drop in a few weeks time and the slim to be out sooner rather than later though, hope whoever does a good trade in program from 80GBs to Slims lol.
