Cherny!! Wii have new games!!

I know this is slightly off-topic, but I figured that the LoT gamers would be reading this so...

Cherny has convinced me to get a PS3, for both the gaming aspect as well as the blu-ray capablilities. There are basically 4 models to choose from (two are discontinued, two are currently available at most retail outlets): the 20gb - which I don't want because it has no wifi, the 40gb - which I don't want because it has 0 backwards compatibility and two fewer USB ports than the others, the 60gb - which appears to be the best one because it includes the PS2 emotion chip for hardware-based backwards compatibility, and the 80gb - which is the 60gb with no emotion chip and a slightly bigger hard drive.

The backwards compatibility is not a huge issue for me - I still have an old PS2 - so I've decided that either the 60 or 80 will do.

For the past week, I've been looking for bargains on craigslist, but instead I seem to have come across more rip-offs than I expected to find, and am a little nervous about dealing with someone who advertises there. (One example: a guy lists an 80gb for $80 less than retail and says "new in box. I will provide you with a receipt." I know that in order to take advantage of a blu-ray promotion, you need a sales receipt, so I assumed that he got this as a gift. I asked him where the PS3 came from. He told me "a wholesaler." I asked him about the receipt. "I'll give you a receipt from Target." Creepy.)

Does anyone here have any suggestions on getting one of these machines? Should I just order one through amazon.com (which seems to be the cheapest legit source for a new one)?
