The thing with the "new" upcoming 80 gig system is no BC and just a bigger HDD, they are replacing the 40 gig HDD with an 80 and selling it as a new system.
This is going to be a big PITA as I see it, because up until now you have been able to differentiate between the features or options on a system by the size of the HDD at time of purchase, I think this is going to throw Joe Consumer for a loop when he goes and buys an 80 gig and it is really just the 40 with a bigger HDD.
I had a 60 and own an 80 now, the MGS4 bundle isn't a bad deal at all if you can find one in stock, some places are sold out, some places have a ton of them around here, it is just hit and miss really.
If the BC isn't an issue just wait until the "new" 80 hits and grab it or buy one of them now so you can play old games, but imo people make too big a deal about BC now anyway, this far into the life of any new system you aren't looking to play too many old games on it, however for those who want a bit of a blast from the past might be out of luck, example: there is rumor of FFVII making it's way to PS3 in little more than a week, well if this comes by way of PSN and downloadable that is great for those who don't still have their PSone disks, me on the other hand wouldn't want to pay for a download of a game I already own....
Other than that, good luck with your purchase and enjoy the games.
