I'd be interested at the 200 price point. I'd be happy to catch up on some Sony exclusives since they won't be supported on PS4..... plus an extra blu ray player
But does this still have the ability to swap in a different HDD? Because face it, if i had my choice of buying an old one at gamestop for $200...or buying a new one and swapping in a bigger HDD I'd go for new.
I put a 1tb HDD in mine and took out the 500gb that it came with. So I wouldn't even need to buy a new HDD. I'd pullout that 12gb pos and slap in the 500 i have laying around and have a better machine than anything you can get used at gamestop.
custom built gaming pc from early 2010,ps2 with 15 games all original,ps3 500gbs with 5 games all original,yamaha amp and 5.1channel surround sound speakers,46inch sony lcd smart tv.

You should be happy after Gamescom next week then, as all info points to them announcing a price drop for the PS3 as well as a release date for the PS4.

In short Yes you can BUT if you take a HDD from a PS3 to put into another PS3 it will not just "work" it will need to be formatted.
