    They should bring out a 500GB in the original Slim.

    But it doesn't look too bad:

    Anything that has 80 GB is not worth $700-$800 even 6 years ago

    No, haven't been playing much last couple months (festival/party season). My cuz offered to buy it so I agreed to sell him and he paying a little more since I recently put in a 320 HDD. Costing me about the same to get a brand new 320 GB Move Bundle so its a good deal to me.

    lol ...... how much for a 64 GB Ipad? How much for an Iphone 5?

    Anyway, we know the system cost $ 600, the extra is prob what he paid to get it. Don't know about Sion but it cost me over $ 800 to get mine. $ 599 for the system, about $ 230 to ship, plus customs duty.

    Actually, we can go down the road and buy. But since I'm in imports, it's cheaper for me to import it myself with other goods. $ 230 is the highest. I could have paid $ 80 for USPS which is 2 weeks, or a little more for FedEx or $ 230 for UPS which is one day to get here.

    I'm in Canada so stuff from the U.S. always costs more. I got mine in the first week it came out. With mine I got 3 controllers, 2 games (fight night round 3 & Armored Core 4), the memory uploader so I could upload PS1 & PS2 joints and an additional controller charger.



    I'm in the Caribbean. Got mine with 3 games (Heavenly Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Formula 1) and 2 controllers.
