USED PS3 Prices seem low
i was in gamestation today & in the window was 40 gig fat ps3's £99
160 gig slims @ £129.
is it me or are prices dropping fast on pre owned units.
also next dor(cex) had wii for £29

I bought one with a broken dvd drive for £5 - with the 120gb HD still in it - still need to fix it for an online box as my fat is still on 3.55.

With the economy the way it is all technology prices have been falling through the floor.

Samsung tvs for £300, HTC Evo for £210, that sort of thing.

A great time to buy if you have the cash!

the failure rate with YLODs on old PS3s is high

yes there is some problems, i have 3 x 40gb fat all from new all have 250gb hard drives in & all in use every day as media player more than games . never had the problem mate.
only problems ive had is one blu-ray drive replaced under warrnty
& my 1st one has a loud fan & has done for a cuple of years. been cleaned inside, new heatsink past & all that,still loud.but never let me down.

60gb phat never had a problem and even quiet as a mouse, and the £5 slim is a slim so no worries there except needing a new bdrom.

I just think all the extra hassle to get a 'special' PS3 to even play newer games (eboots etc) compared to 360 has put people off, hence low prices to shift stock.

yep especially with the recent RGH hack, 360 is best option if you want an offline box with all the tricks

Game were selling a 320gb model brand new today for £99....don't know how many they actualy sold at that price, it was sold out by the time I spotted it.

Isn't it because Game/Gamestation are in financial trouble? A mate picked up a matte black 360 slim, kinect and a bunch of games, 2 wireless controllers with plug and charge kits for £200 just over a week ago in Gloucester.

Evilbob has it right, they are in big trouble so had a firesale.
