I'd just buy a 120GB and get a 500GB 2.5" HDD from NCIX when they go on sale.

i got me a 320gb at ncix for 60ish

hmm i guess i could use that extra $50 to get a game right?
ok thanks!

get a bigger HDD, and then put the original 120 in an external case. boom tonnes of room, and you can easily add lots of stuff to your PS3 from your PC

yepyep! just bought the 120gb!

thats what i did :thumbsup:

My PS crapped out on me yesterday :( Won't read discs anymore. Game/DVD/Music/Blu-Ray, nothing. Any ideas?

No receipt :(

probably the lens crapped out


go Costco / FS/BB buy one and return it

put in old one

custom make the seal

tell them never open



i know where to get the seal
:D


or just go to crystal get it fixed

you're assuming he has a slim ps3. It wont work if he has a fat ps3, an earlier gen ;)

Let's hope he has the slim then ;)

:lol I havent heard of any problems with the slim yet. Its all the older gen fat ps3's that have the problems. Mostly the 60 and 80 gigs. Have yet to hear about the 20, 40 or 120 fat ones

its ok it will be sealed

they wont open


pay cash no records

shit im evil

if you're gonna swoop that low at least return it as an open box so some poor bastard won't end up buying a broken ps3 because someone tried scamming the store.

but that happens all the time... at least at the london drugs store i work at anyway! people like to be asses. and retail stores can't do anything about it. and so the cycle continues!

considering it's usually only the older single laser drives that burn out, that makes it at least a few years old. Plus the serial number on it is likely tied to you somewhere.

If you're able to follow a basic tutorial and have a few screwdrivers you can easily replace the laser unit yourself, a new one might cost up to $100 though depending on the model.

It's the fat one :(

Damn. Alright, thanks for the advice guys. I'm going to head to Parker Place to see if that guy there can fix it, else its off to Crystal.

lmao

dammnit man 'super' street fighter iv is coming out... and i just brought street fighter

apparently old news, but i just found out now

:lol I sold mine a few weeks ago for $30 ;)

Also is it possible to buy a 99 cent item from the psn store and not have to withdraw the minimum $5 to your wallet? Can I buy a psn card for an exact amount of like $1.15?

u are evil

they were going for $20 bux a month ago lol

that was a month ago. If you didnt get it then too bad :D

I did


bought it when it first came out

than sold it

than on sale for $20 bux than bought it again lol

So apparently, geohot(george hotz, the iphone hacker who unlocked and jailbroke iphone 1g) has claimed to have hacked his way into the memory and chipset of the ps3. All without a physical modchip. His hack allows the user to write into the memory. As of now, he hasn't posted how he did it, since if he did, sony will most likely find a way to fight him knowing how fast sony can pump out firmwares. Fact or fiction? Only time will tell.

What we do know is that geohotz is pretty damn credible with his hacks.

I'm gonna call bs, I have a spare PS3 to fiddle with if anything gets released but didn't that guy just compile info from a bunch of Russian guys and people all over the world he was talking to for the iPhone? Or was that a different dude?

Even still, he might just be writing random data into a wall of encrypted stuff.

meh
ps3 already serves as a decent multimedia system so homebrew is meh
blank BD roms/burners are still too expensive so pirating games is useless.
