Ok I am looking at maybe getting a ps3. But I have a few questions and thought you guys would know.
1 does it come with wifi for network connection ( not just controllers) ? 2 if it does come with wifi do they all have it. IE 60gig 120gig and so on. 3 what is a sensible size hard drive to go for ? I would not be storing on it at media will be streamed from the mac via apple tv. 4 Can I play Gran Torismo ?

The ps3 comes with WiFi and a hard drive, 80gb is fine and the console comes with a controller and hard drive built in , plus you can play gt5

Cheers mate. Will the 60gb be enough if I wanted to record tv? And could it replace sky+ for terrestrial tv ? As we only have the free view channels.

Yup 2. pretty sure. Craig's old one did as does his newer one with bigger disk 3. Same as grip, you always need more 4. Nope; but you can play Gran Turismo ;D

I have 60gb which is not enough for tv recording's but I have just added 500gb external hard drive to save tv, film, photo's and music. They all have built in wireless. I would go for 250gb or buy second hand one and put a hard drive in yourself which you can get on eBay. They are the same as laptop harddrive's.

I think all the hardrive's would be the same size. If you type in ps3 harddrive on eBay I think there is 500gb for £41. Uk seller.

This thread has just reminded to bolt in that 500Gb laptop drive I picked up a while ago..
Just restoring the backup from the old 60gig drive as I type.. Whole drive swap took about 3mins..
