I would link a MGS4 Game of the Year video from Gamespot that would show what you are truly missing out on with just that 1 game alone, but it has WAAAY to many spoilers in it (though it really explains/sums up how great it actually is). But to answer your question in the easiest, most basic way, you have to get ANY PS3 model that has 4 USB ports ~ Wiki
The 20gb & 60gb US models have FULL BC with the EE whilst the 80gb & 60gb US & early EU models have the EE removed but retain a really high BC rate (something like 85-90%)
Sorry but they are not worth the price(over all poor qaulity of this generation) nor the cost(monoteraly).....
edit
I am not picking on any of the games but a grand spent is not worth 10 worth while titles and asea of ineptitude and and shallowness.
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

What's LBP, WKC, EE,
Also I don't know what it is any FPS games I will not play for some reason really dispise them.
Also 2 games they are still making Warhawk and wipout can't believe they ported them too the next gen console lame games.
I wil miss some games but I will catch up because I really want too play MGS$, final fantasy 13, and rwesident evil 5 you forgot that one.
It is too live life too the fullest then never lived at all.

LBP = Little Big Planet
WKC = White Knight Chronicles
EE = Emotion Engine (but that was explained in the Wiki)
Have you actually tried Warhawk or WipeoutHD? I can understand if they aren't your kind of game but that doesn't mean they are lame! RE:5 is one that I forgot but I think that would be a rent for me.

You can't be serious? They aren't classics...they are TOTALLY NEW games. That's like saying MGS4, RE:5 & FF13/vs13 are old!

I guess there must be a miscommunication in the way you mean it. As having a number after them does not mean they are "old", just they are based on previous games but they are altogether new.

Which tend to use newer more dumbed down design elements outside of physics and visuals...

Since were at where we are in gaming what is it that gamers want in games? im not taking a shot at you just a legitimate question. Graphics are insane these days and when they are applied to solid games they still end up being the same great ideas in the past just new graphics. I know what you mean by crappy games getting hd makeover is trash but in general what is the next step for gaming to be really innovative( and the wii is not the answer)?

Isnt he just saying the games arent worth the price in view of the ps3 being so pricey.essentially there are only 10 games worth while in his view and the ps3 is pricey so all in all not worth it. Just what i interpreted.

Add the WII and 360 to it and you have assumed correctly.
Gaming has fallen into the trap of mass market disposable media, only without the mass market price. the hardware can be 300-600 for all I care but if the games are more than 30 a pop what the point in getting them if they are only good for beign palyed ocne or twice and then forggten?
If you fall into the tween set that goes and watches a bad flick 10 times at the theater you wont be seeing any issues with the quality of gaming, same goes for rapid game fans who never question or think for themselves rather they consume to fit in and not consume becuse its worth while.
When a hobby because a shallow fapping experience can you really expect the majority of people to realize the wanking going on?

Aside from the price...the PS3 is just too locked down for me to want to bother with. I like doing geeky things with my consoles after their gaming life. My PS2 now serves out Sega Genesis games since the emulator and the games can exist on the hard drive (I really wish the SNES emulator author would have put in the ability to load games from the hard drive). I truly wish I could make it a media frontend like the original XBOX's...but I haven't been brave enough to try an install Linux on my PS2 and XBMC (I have had Linux on it before, tho!)
Maybe I'll reconsider if it ever gets hacked.
