    SONY......the one and only!

    With a little investment, the PS3 can be brought back to top performance after it has aged and a little wear and tear. With a little maintenance (cleaning and dust removal) it can last a bit longer. Get it Professionally repaired when needed. (Sending it to SONY is not necessary)

  • The first and still the best!

    When bluray was first introduced by Sony, I purchased a PS3 and got 10 years out of it, entirely for playing blurays for my home theater. I have not been able to find a better 1080P bluray player and it is a shame this is a discontinued model. With the purchase of this fine used model I am back in business with many nights of movie watching on bluray, plus streaming movies.

  • Wanted a backup PS3 to mod. Fine but loud fan noise.

    Wanted a used PS3 to mod. Reasonably priced. Figured to upgrade the hard drive. Was able to mod, no problem. Look to either purchase a larger hard drive. Only drawback is after a short period of time, a lot of fan noise. Still, am happy with the purchase.

  • Only way to go

    The PS3 had a serious problem with overheating. Though most of the overheating issues came from owner neglect, Sony had to go back to the drawing board on this one. If you are electronically inclined, I would suggest only buying any Playstation used or for repair. You can buy these systems a day long for around $25, and fix them yourself. When it breaks, buy another one. Ultimately, you could spend your hard earned cash on a real system......any series XBOX will do.

  • Fully Backward Compatible Console

    • This PS3 is rare and is no longer in production by Sony. • It is fully backward Compatible with PS1, PS2, and PS3 games. Backward Compatibility is hardware based. • Advantages of this FAT PS3 vs SLIM PS3's 1. It is fully hardware based backward compatible with PS3, PS2, and PS1 games. (The Slim is not) 2. It has Memory Card Readers on the console. (The slim does not) 3. It has 4 USB ports at the front. (The slim only has 2) 4. It has a power switch at the back and the front. (The slim does not) 5. These first PS3s are the only PS3s that have been blessed with the ability to run the LINUX OS side by side turning the console into a Personal Computer. (The slim does not have this ability). You will need to know how to downgrade OS and install Linux yourself. 6. Beautiful Shiny Chrome Finish as compared to the Slim's dull matte finish. 7. Has the ability to use the PS3 hardware to smoothen graphics and speed up PS1 and PS2 games. Can also create internal virtual memory cards for the PS1 and PS2 using the PS3's hard drive.

  • Fat PS3 still has it all

    I love everything about this system I even ordered of God of war skin for it The only complaint I would have is it didn't come with the game as promised And the system wasn't backwards compatible no big deal there

  • AMAZING PRODUCT

    Great product, am having a great time home brewing and playing a bunch of ps3 games

  • Good stuff

    Great if you need a replacement console for a dead PS3. Doesn’t run hot like initial released model. No PS2 backward compatibility is a bit of a bummer though.
