2. i have a bluetooth headset for my mobile can i use that as my ps3 headset?

1. Some games DL part of the game to the HD to make it quicker. PSN games are saved to the HD. DL'ing a BD disk game to the HD and not using the Disk = No.
2. More than likely. Go to Bluetooth Devices on the PS3 and "Pair" it. Think thats what its called.
3. Yes
4. is the 80 BC with PS2 games? If so, its a Good deal. Im from the US, so i dont know what the asking price for a new one is.

Euro PS3 isnt backwards compatiable, i think you can get the 60GB for about that price.

Yes you can under
Settings>>Accessoty Settings>>Manage Blutouth Devices.
And after setting up the connection got to
Settings>>Accessory Settings>>Audio Device Settings
to adjust the volume if you like and to
Settings>>Accessory Settings>>Voice changer
to change your voice
3. are all the ps3 games blu-ray discs?

The 80 is the fat one if i am not mistaken.
If you bought it new it is a fair price with 1 game.
marcusita if you mean the eu 80gb version you are right, but the 60gb EU version can.
But for 260 euros+1 game i dont think that he can buy a 60gb used, they selling them at higher price cause it is rare to find one in good condition.

Yeah i meant 80GB :)
You can get the 60GB EU PS3 quite cheap, http://www.game.co.uk/Consoles/PlayStati...7/?added=335206 notice where it say preowned, its selling for £169.99, so buying that with a game would probably work out cheaper than 260 Euro :D

1.) Most games will force you to install at least part of the game on the hard drive. Every disc-based game I have tried requires the disk to run; the games will end if you eject the disk. This is the second best part about PSN games...no disk swapping. (the best part is the sharing)
2.) Yes; though many headsets that sound good with phones sound terrible when paired with the PS3.
3.) No; some PS3 games are smaller, and come on DVDs...but most are on bluray.
4.) You paid way too much...$280 USD is about the right price for a new PS3-FAT, you paid about $385 USD...you overpayed considerably, even if the game is worth list price to you.

Your wrong, there arnt any PS3 games on DVD, all PS3 games apart from PSN games come on Blu Ray, regardless of their size.
EDIT:
I found this, it displays sizes of game instalations, might be usefull, might not http://www.overclock.net/3221976-post1.html

Nice post. Ridge Racer pissed me off with that install. The link says 5, thought it was 7. Good to see that they are getting away from the big HD installs.

@KillerBug
Marcusita is absolutely right, there's no DVD PS3 game and never will be.

It is my understanding that the Factory Pressed BD?s (not burnt) is one of the ways that Piracy is defeated. Might buy me a Disk Pressing Plant for $700,000,000.00 so that I can press my own disk. That will show them.

The true protection comes from the pressing...the PS2's DVD protection was never actualy broken...people just found lots of ways to skip that step by modifying the systems and using boot disks. To this day there is no way that I know of to burn a PS2 game to work with a completely untouched PS2.
I remember back in 2006, sony said that they were limiting games to bluray because making a burned copy costed almost as much as just buying the game...but I figured that they had dropped this when quality media got down to $5 a disc, and there was still no way to copy games anyway...and many of the games are small enough to fit on a single layer DVD. I guess I gave them too much credit.
