^ GTA 5 require only 8 gb of require install , So you can definitely play it . But Be warned , buying 12gb is not recommended because of several reason

1) If you get psn plus membership and want to download free game , then you may face problem . For eg infamous 2 was 14gb when it was available for psplus user for free

2) Not much space for storing music , video , soundtrack digital games etc .

You can easily get ps3 160 gb for 15k if you search some good store/online store .

Not getting 160GB for 15k, anywhere. even 12GB put me to 16k. If you can find any good deal which i am missing, please post here.

And one more, is it better to get PS4 in few months or get PS3?

Well if i were you , i would wait for atleast 1 year for ps4 to establish some good exclusive title . And Even though we are mostly a pc gamer , there are some of the best game in ps3 that we need to experience like

Last of US ( masterpiece in term of story telling and character development)
Heavy rain ( there is no other game like it , except maybe indigo prophecy)
Infamous series ( best super hero game after batman series )
Journey ( probably the most relaxing game with amazing soundtrack)
Metal gear series ( Solid snake :cool: )
Uncharted series , gow series etc etc . Sony will support ps3 atleast for 2 more year . It has strong lineup for game in 2014 .

just get the 12gb version. You can always uninstall a game when wanted.
moreover I doubt you will download any games off PSN.
Not all games install data on the Hard drive in large quantity.
ps3 is a game console, its kind of idiotic to move you videos and music to it when you are short on disk space.

Ps3 is not just gaming device, why wouldn't anyone store videos and music ? What about demos, DLC , Or game soundtrack?what about big patches like that of bf3? What about downloading f2p games like killzone 3 or uc3 mp?What about psn game? Cod ghost is available for 4.2k @ retail but it can be purchase digitally for 2.5k, do you think 12gb is enough?

Still 12 GB is way too low. It may look nice for now but later it would create problem, I would advice to avoid that console.

Now there are only 500GB and 12 GB version in the first hand market.

You can get 320GB versions in IVG and all.. I had to buy a 500GB version myself for the very same reason. :) But believe me, its worht it.. I have played all the must plays excluding GOW (i dint like it) and now playing GTA V. The next in line is AC black flag and Arkham origins

^^ Great. Even when I was looking for one, I couldn't find a single 160GB. The 16k price was great for it. But Sony stopped manufacturing it.

Then got a 320GB with 3 Months warranty from IVG for 12k.

But as you already said, you won't get it on that price now, mainly because of GTA V.

^^ Now, what i am planning is, better to wait for GTA V PC release. People are greedy. Because of GTA V, everybody up their console price at their will. :|

C'mon we don't need another XBox Vs PS3 thread. He just said he too got a console (which is not PS3, it's XBox) for GTA V (He's also tempted for GTA V just like you :p)

It's simple :)
