Elite has been out for a while. Why do you want 80GB ps3? Get the 60GB one. Since it has full Ps2 backward compatability. 80GB only has software emulation for ps2 games. Unless you don't plan to every play ps2 games on ps3. And 60GB is $100 cheaper.

whats so special on the elite 360?

isnt there also a blutooth update on the 80gb? so the 60gb can play some ps2 but 80gb has more ps2 titles? nothing else?

Elite 360 has HDMI which the original one doesn't have.

eh? Bluetooth is on both systems. 60GB can play ALL ps2 games. 80GB can play SOME ps2 games. HDD swap is super easy.

360 Elite, is black, has HDMI. Still no Wifi. IMO I'd go with PS3. Its better built. And great games on the horizon+blu-ray.

Also with PS3 you can hook it up to a Bluetooth headset(for online games), keyboard, mice, etc.

360 Elite also has a 120GB HD, on top of what others have said. My local Game Stop told me there'll be an xmas PS3 release and that one won't have the backward compatibility but the emulator instead and you buy / download games online... don't recall the HD size on that though, maybe 60GB instead of 80GB
