This comes with an extra controller, for a total of TWO. Shipping is free, but there is sales tax in most states.

Two questions:

1) Where does it state that you get TWO (2) wireless controllers? All I see is this: "Includes DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller."

2) What advantages doe the fat unit have to the slim? I can get a 120 GB slim for $299 any day of the week. I can pick this up for $50 less (80 GB vs. 120GB). I guess I could use the $50 savings to buy a larger HD.

Tempting... too bad that there's no working 10% off coupon.

The fat unit has 4 USB ports vs Slim 2 USB ports and the Fat still supports running Linux on it (the Slim does not). For $50 off, plus another controller ($30-$40) value, I think this is a pretty good deal

Some fat ps3 has 2 USB only.....and not able to play PS 1/2 games

This is very tempting with the free extra controller (selling for $50 on eBay if you don't need the extra one).

So, with tax and selling the extra controller I could pretty much get a PS3 80gb fat for $225 shipped to my door. That is very tempting. Worth it over the SLIM?

Sorry, that's correct, that fat PS3 also only has 2 USB ports. However, neither the Slim nor the recent FAT PS3 play PS2 games (they do play most Playstation 1 games, AFAIK). The FAT does support other OS install which the slim doesn't.

For more information see wikipedia

All PS3's can play PS1 games.

Really? I was just about to go get a PS2 to play some of the older Final Fantasy games. How do game saves work? Do they just save on the hard drive?

If I remember correctly, the PS3 has a handler that does PS1 saves into a virtual container.. so yes, it does save to the hard drive.

It allows PS1 saves via virtual memory format:

Step 1:
Boot up your PlayStation 3 and let it load to the XMB (Cross Media Bar). Navigate to the Game heading in the XMB.
Step 2:
Select "Memory Card Utility" from the given options. You will then be shown 2 options: PS1 and PS2. Choose "PS1" from the given options and allow the PlayStation 3 to format the data.
Step 3:
Exit out of the Memory Card Utility to finish formatting your game. From here, saving a game will work

So, anyone have a good opinion for someone who has been looking for a PS3? Would you get this model over SLIM because of this deal?

FYI, I recently ordered the PS3 slim for the toys r us deal but my order was cancelled due to a toys r us coupon code mistake. I really want me a PS3.

Also there is a PlayStation Credit card that gets you another $50 off it seems like.
