PlayStation 3 is in three models and each one has different variants namely : The Original one available in 20, 40, 60, 80, or 160 GB hdd. PS3 Slim model available in 120 GB, 160 GB, 250 GB or 320 GB hdd.

That original 60GB PS3 phat is also the best PS3 model all around IMO, as long as you can find a brand new or factory refurbished one.
