We're not your typical nerds.. we get really, really high/outofthisworld. I still, to this day, have a scar on my eyebrow from one of those weekends... never knew how it got there but my 2 friends laugh menacingly everytime it's mentioned.

Hahahahahahaha, I just read that out loud and my friend in the room punched me in the arm. Unfortunately for me he's a Mac lover.
This looks like quite the event. I can't even begin to imagine how you start organizing this. Sponsors?

1)there are enough engaging exclusives for both platforms
2) perhaps he already owns a wii, everybody and their mother has one...myself included.
3) Playing games online with your friends is popular these days, it seems.
4) i was making a light hearted joke, take a chill pill.

Serious question though to PS3 users:
What can I do with my 250 GB?

No, It's a LOT. Most ps3 games that require installs don't take up a whole lot of space. Unless you plan on having like 50 games, with most of them requiring installs, you'll have a lot of extra space.
I've had a 60gb for over a year and I've only used about 18gb.

Just make sure you get Uncharted 2. And maybe PixelJunk Monsters from the PS store, especially if you have a friend you can play it with and if tower defence games are your bag. Welcome to PS3 my friend.

Because, my friend, Amazon throws in an extra controller for free if you buy the 250GB PS3. I thought "Hm, $10 for 130 more GB's? Why not?"

Don't report me as you asked for this!
And you need a $10 a month Megaupload/Rapidshare account

Why would I want to delete my games if I have to sit and re-install them later?
then again, you insult people because they don't use their HDD like you?
lol
11/30/09
What is it with you people going up in flames because I don't use my free space the same as you?
grow up!

Well, be careful. Rage doesn't suit you well. ;D
I'm going to have to say that you may have misinterpreted them. They're saying that 250GB allows for a huge amount of movies, game installations, DLC, downloadable games, music, photos, etc. And, they're honestly right. I have a massive set of content on my 80GB PS3 as it is. With it being my primary media station, I think I'm going to upgrade it.

Still feel to need to tell me what to do?

Nonetheless, you have to recognize that makes you an extreme minority.
And, you also have to recognize that you exaggerated greatly. Just look at your statement:
@MrBangBam: my 40gb went by pretty fast, 250 isnt that much if you have a few games requiring install. some music, pics, stuff
See? Pictures, "some music," and "a few" game installations come NOWHERE near 250GB.
With 250 GB, you can put hundreds of movies on there. 1GB is enough space for 256 4-minute songs. The vast majority of PS3 games have extremely small installations, with the rare giants having about 5GB. (I can only name three of them, personally.) Pictures? I have well over a thousand pictures on my tiny SD card right now, and it's not anywhere near being full.
Someone who understands hard drive capacities would read your comment and laugh. Someone who was totally ignorant to hard drive consumption could be totally misled by it.
Overall, I think it would be wise to be a bit more careful and rational. That's all. ^_^
After all, if you have an utterly gigantic media collection putting you in an extreme minority, you can always buy a bigger hard drive. But, 250GB is WAY more than most hardcore gamers are going to use, and that's not even considering the mainstream and, dare I mention them, casuals. Of course, the PS3 doesn't get many casuals, which is why it's the only console that refuses to sell without a built-in hard drive.

It was never a question of hardcore or not, it was a question if 250gb was enough and I gave my advice on MY use which is shared by many kotakuites, and if you have enough of that space, good for you, you're a champion, but stop telling me how to use my space.
Please respect those who use their hard drives in a different way than you do. Not everyone has 3 games and 15 mp3's (if you allow me to decide how you use your HDD like you do for me)
