HELP!: PS3 second hand

If it works that's not the worst deal I've seen.

Yes. Buy it if you have money to buy games.

Thanks!

Well, PS3 was originally $300 when it came out, if I recall correctly. Either that, or it dropped to $300( which is most likely its price to this date ). It's a good deal, because the controllers are somewhere around $20-30 per.

Slim or no slim?

Is it worth it to you? Personally, I prefer PC games, and am not willing to spend anywhere near that amount for the few interesting looking exclusives.
Even if the PS3 was free, the games are too expensive.

Don't buy PS3...buy SNES instead :P

If you can.. its a nice price otherwise PC is better as games are more cheap .. when most new games for PS3 are around $40 - $60 .. i own PS3 my self. but i prefer playing on PC most of the times.

Why don't you just wait till PS4 is out?
You'll get a brand new PS3 much cheaper than this 2nd hand 80GB fat one...
Unless... it has an old firmware you Jack Sparrow!

for 120€ no, ppl sells it for less than 100€.....and my suggestion if you get it, pirate it, if you want to play a lot of games on it, since console is old too. In Europe buying games cost too much, even olds ( not counting UK)

It also depends on how much you think you will end up using it; games take up a lot of space, even on a PS. If you see yourself downloading a bunch of stuff from the PS Store or signing up for PS+, 80 gb ain't going to last you long which means you will have to cough up with extra cash for a new HDD. Not that they are expensive or anything, but it is worth taking into consideration.

JUST GET A PS4

wait for a PS4 bro.

I don't think that's a good deal especially since the FAT PS3s overheat after 3-4 years of normal use. If you don't plan on getting a PS4, I would still recommend dropping $120 more and getting the Uncharted PS3 bundle, it comes with a year of PS+ which you could use to build an instant game library or sell (worth $50).

Check the firmware..No reasons whistle

Nope, not at all.

I'd take it!

the fat ps3's had some issues with ylod. Just make sure the ps3 works before you buy it. Btw I have 2 slim ps3's and one fat one that broke down a few years after from ylod.

Other than that I would buy it1

saying that is £103 and game sells pre owned (slim 120GB) ones for £90 (€104) and a controller you can get for new for £20 (€23), i paid £20 for my official one new. i would say its bad. Taking into account the controller preowned would be what £10-£15 (€11-€17) you could get it from a shop for cheaper (however game is out of stock at the moment and not sure if they are uk only).

oh it turns out cash generator going price is about £90 (€104) for a fat 80GB one, so if you can buy from a shop for less then you can a friend is asking for, so it's a bad deal. a shop would give him what about half of the price he is asking
