PS3 Decision Help

That's a hard one. If you have other things to hold you over, I'd probably repair the old one. (Especially if it has the backwards compatibility)

It hasn't been working in about 9 or 10 months. I don't even know for sure, it's been so long. To tide my gaming over I've just been re-playing PS2 games, and the occasional Wii game.

And it's not backwards compatable, it's the cheap version. 40 gig.

Looking into it, a 120 gig from Future Shop is 300 bucks brand new.

Where's the "get an xbox 360 instead" option?

How would that help me get a PS3.

Plus I despise the fact I would not only have to pay for the system, and my own internet connection, and the games I plan on playing, but XBL on top of that.

I'll take my free online gaming, battery-less controllers and blu-ray player any day.



PS. Canucks opener tomorrow. You around?

I'd get a new PS3 with a warranty and try to fix your old one. I'm sure if you google "fix PS3" you can find something. If you fix it you can put it up on ebay or something.

Fixing a motor in a PS3? You can do that. Just pop it open, get a soldering iron, and go to town. You can do it!

The problem is the motor, and the only way to really fix it is to ship it to a place, and pay 190 for it.
