The Exploding Barrel explores the argument that the current 80GB PlayStation 3 bundled with Metal Gear Solid 4, which is soon to be outphased in a matter of weeks, is a significantly better deal than the so called 'value model' Sony is releasing this September. The most important feature that will disappear with the new SKU is backwards compatibility, which allows gamers to upscale their old PS2 collection in HD resolutions with smoothing and wireless controls. The time for hardcore gamers to pony up the dough for a PS3 is now... the current 80GB model is flying off shelves, and when they're gone, so is backwards compatibility, 2 of the 4 USB ports, and the media card readers that facilitate back-ups. Don't be fooled by Sony's marketing spin at E3, the most feature-rich PlayStation 3 consoles they currently offer won't be on shelves much longer.
