Well, it's not on how better it is, but how much memory you have in your hard drive. A 60GB PS3 has less memory than an 80GB PS3. So therefore, an 80BG PS3 is better, if that's what you want to call it.

The first 60GB was the most expensive to make and to purchase and is a better collectible and has high resale value. The second 60 GB that came out with the first 80 GB is better than any other 80 GB except the first 80 GB that also came with 4 USB ports.It is because of the equipment that is no longer present in newer PS3 that the models are considered better and not for the harddrive size. Either are very useful for hard drive size when compared to the PS3 slim 250 GB see related links

What is the difference between the ps3 gigabytes 40 60 80 when it comes to games?

They all play PS3 games and Only a PS3 with 4 USB ports will play PS2 games. It is not based on harddrive size except that no PS3 other than the 60 and 80 GB size had 4 USB ports. Some 80 GB PS3 had only 2 USB ports and some 60 GB PS3 were hardware based PS2 emulation and others were partially software based emulation.

$150-$200 There are different models and the early model that plays PS2 games has 4 USB ports and sells for more than the PS3 80 GB model with 2 USB ports. Since many people have the concept that all 80 GB models play PS3 games sometimes the newer PS3 120 GB model will sell for less and have better reliability because of the lower power consumption of the Slim Models Gamestop sells the PS3 80 GB 4 USB port model for $229.99 refurbished Gamestop sells the PS3 80 GB 2 USB port Model or 60 GB 4 USB port model for $219.99 refurbished New PS3 320 GB Uncharted 3 bundle is $299.99 everywhere


How can I change my 120 GB ps3 to a 80GB?

You can not. Many PS3 80 GB models do not have the 4 USB ports that allow backward compatibility and have no advantage over the 120 GB models anyway. The Fat PS3 consoles all do run hotter than the PS3 slim models and have shorter lifespans because of this. Sure you can replace the 120 GB harddrive with a PS3 80 GB harddrive if you also add the software for the 120 GB model. You can trade your PS3 toward a 60 GB PS3 model if you want, but you would be smarter to keep both models and only use the old PS3 to play PS2 games. There is no reason to want an 80 GB PS3 as the 60 GB model does not have the less capable partially software based emulation backward compatibility used in the 4 USB port 80 GB models and instead has the emotion engine to provide the best available backward compatibility used only in the first 20 and 60 GB PS3 for the USA and Japan.
