hi guys, i'm kinda new in this forum. i just wanna ask something regarding PS3..... i'm planning to buy a PS3 for myself. i wanted to buy the 320GB set from Sony Center. but i went to a gaming shop and asked, the owner of the shop told me that, Sony has stopped producing the 320GB PS3,saying that the 320GB PS3 had quite a lot of problems,so Sony decided to stop producing it.
i just wanna know whether what the owner told me is real or not? and i would like to know is there any different for 160GB and 320GB beside their HDD?
Thanks a lot for reading =)

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Jun 20 2011, 07:09 AM) 1. 320gb and 160gb models are the same , they even share same motherboard , the only difference .. the HDD size 2. the owner shop didnt know the true fact , basically sony stop both 160gb and 320gb models production ( temporary only ) as raw materials in japan up to 15% - 20% , so they cant supply the materials to their factory in china , current ps3 slim stock in the market are previous stocks before disaster hit Japan recently why 320gb hard to get ? cause 320gb models almost sold out everywhere due to gamers grab them while the stock still available .. compare to 160gb its easy to get because they prefer 320gb bigger HDD size so the videogames shop owner you asked may be got wrong info bout it... 3. get Malaysia Set as they have Official Warranty by Sony Malaysia owh~~~ thanks a lot for the info!!! really glad that i asked here =)
Added on June 20, 2011, 4:18 pmok, one more question. so i can get any of the 320GB PS3, regardless what's the firwmware,right? even if it's the older firmware before and during the PSN down time,right? after i update the firmware,i'm safe to go already,is it?
