How to Tell If My PS3 Is the 80Gb

Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) consoles contain various hard disk sizes to fit a variety of consumer preferences. Prominent examples include 120GB, 160GB, 250GB and 320GB versions. Older models contain a smaller capacity to satisfy users in need of less gaming content and media downloads. For example, such consoles include an 80GB hard disk and others of lower disk sizes. You'll need to inspect the general system's information to tell which version your PS3 has.
