Think the older models problems have passed with the leap year bug just missed. Older models may come with a SIXAXIS rather than a Dual Shock 3. Also some older models have taken the YLOD. Just make sure it's working but I still doubt very much you would pick one up for under a ton.

Well I just sold my old 160GB PS3 (because I upgraded to a 250GB Slim) for £170. So I would expect them to fall into these price ranges:
60GB Launch Model: £125 - £160 - More expensive due to added features such as PS2 Backwards Compatability, SACD Support, Chrome plating, Card Reader and extra USB ports. More susceptible to YLOD failure but its still relatively rare. SIXAXIS supplied.
40GB - Around £130 - The model after the 60GB. Less prone to failure due to reduced component sizes and heat output. SIXAXIS supplied.
80GB - Around £150 - Same as the 40GB but with twice the storage and comes with a DualShock 3 instead.
160GB - Around £150 - £180 - Same as the 80GB but with increased storage. DualShock 3 supplied.
120GB Slim - Around £150 - £200 - Latest model. Further reduced component sizes. Reduced weight, size, heat output and electrical usage. Lack of touch sensitive buttons and Other OS support.
250GB Slim - Around £190 - £240 - Latest model. Same as the 120GB Slim but with over 2X the storage capacity. Both Slims come supplied with DualShock 3 controllers.
*ALL PS3's have Hard Disk Drives that are upgradable by the end user without voiding the warranty.*
Hope this helps!

If you have an Xbox 360, why dont you trade that in? If all you want a console for is sports games and the other 2 you mentioned then you might as well just stick with the PS3. Its a fantastic console and this is coming from someone who owns all three. Just my two cents.

If you have played any of the Metal Gear Solid series than MGS4 is a fitting finale, and in my personal opinion the best game this generation.
Killzone 2 is also a fantastic FPS with a solid single player narrative and fantastic multiplayer that is better than your COD's and Battlefields. In addition it has some of the best graphics in a console game.
God of War 3 which just came out sets the new graphical standard and is an epic finish to the trilogy.
Other notable exclusives include Everybody's Golf, inFamous, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Warhawk, MAG etc.

Im sure I had the LBP Demo.

Beta.
The first Uncharted and LBP are must buys then, I guess. There seems to be a lot of jewels already in the sony catalogue, to me this games are what make the difference: Heavy rain, LBP, Uncharted, Infamous... and Demon's souls of course. I liked a lot Demon's souls, but it is a very hardcore game and you end up putting loads of hours in it. It's not a game for everybody, but amongst the best games I've ever played in many many senses.

It took me about twelve hours to finish Heavy Rain, there is a lot of replay value though.

hey Lami
does the story continue from the first?
thanks

There's a little bit of carry over (including a couple of quips / jokes), so I'd recommend playing the first one first.
The other thing is that if you play Uncharted 2 first, 1 might not have the same 'epic / wow factor'. I won't spoil it, but something happens in Uncharted 1 that is a, shall we say, a little off-putting. It isn't a game breaker, but by the sequel more than makes up for it.
I only finished it last week as I was catching up on some other games (still haven't opened Fallout 3 yet!), so only just started Heavy Rain - about 3-4 hours in at the moment. I want to be up to date for when Red Dead Redemption comes out
