12 GB PS3 now available in North America

[wowtgp]

Sony has just launched this newly announced console bundle in the North American territories. Are you going to buy it? It's only 12 GB which makes me wonder how someone will be ale to play games like Uncharted 3 without an external hard drive.

To be honest it's useless buying a PS3 with such a low harddrive. I own one with 320GB harddrive and I still find it inadequate.

Especially since I am a member of PS Plus I am always downloading games and they take up approx 10GB each time, so it's really a hassle.

I would stay away from this, unless I can afford to change the hard drive myself to 500GB.

It's a good option for those who already have a spare HDD lying around I guess...
but without that I really don't see the point. Just as I didn't quite see the point in that Wii without online or GC backwards compatibility.

Great stuff for people playing on a budget , I personally already own a PS3 so I don't need it. But I think that in the current recession, there is a lot of interest for cheap gaming and this might become very popular round Christmas time, it could make for a good present for a young child because it doesn't really matter if it breaks.

Well, 12gb is honestly pretty useless, specially for Plus subscribers. I mean, I grab this bundle, I download Demon's Souls and... what next? I already have no space on my HDD because it's just 12gbs and Demon's Souls alone is 8gb or so. I couldn't even download something like Uncharted 3.

Whenever I buy a PS3, I'll grab whichever version has the biggest HDD.

This. They keep shoving the digital age down our throats, but then release stuff like this? I guess it's useful for people that have a broken PS3 and want to exchange and/or have a spare HDD. But for all the others, as soon as you get a game or get PSN Plus, you download one game and that is it, you are out of space.

Same here man. I just don't think version is of any use unless someone has a good 200-300 GB external hard drive. It's going to be impossible to play and store games otherwise.
