Since you are leaning towards a ps3, you will want to have a good size hard
drive. As the previous person said you do want to have the ability to store
movies and such, but there is one important thing though. Blu ray holds a
lot of info, but the drawback is the load speed. Data comes off of it fast
enough for movies but not in terms of games. So, sony said, and all
developers, decided that the game should be installed to make the load
screens faster (or the same speed as the 360). The bad thing is that these
games do indeed take up a crap load of space, MGS4 takes about 4 gigabytes
and Assassins Creed takes about 2 gigabytes and don't forget saved games
(they might be 2 megs at most) and newer games coming out might be the same
or more on average. Despite the fact that you can hook up the ps3 to a hard
drive, the games have to be installed on the drive in the ps3. Fortunately
you can delete the file easily, but to play it again you will have to
reinstall the game.

Subject: OT: Any gamers?
I have a Wii and I am thinking about getting another console. Im
leaning to a PS3 because of its blue ray player.
My question is why would anyone need 60G (the Xbox 360) or 80G of storage?
