Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) 12GB Gaming Console, Black

We had our first gen PS3 for over seven years before it finally died, presumably due to the overheating of the solders on the cpu. We wanted to get a PS4, but couldn't find any in stock and don't want to buy first gen anyways until they work any kinks out. Then we looked up regular blu-ray players, but found that any worth buying were nearly the same price as a super slim PS3, so why not get another one!? Pros: As quick, if not faster than our old first Gen. Crazy quiet! Much lighter and thinner than the old versions. Inexpensive, therefore a cheap replacement plan also. Cons: Doesn't play PS2 Games(tested). Disk tray got ghetto. Feels cheaper/chintzy. Only 2 USB ports. If your going to use this for Netflix/Dvd/Bluray and such, GO FOR IT! It's a great system for that. But, if want to play multiple advanced games, you're going to need a hard drive expansion to add to this. I just pulled out the HD from the dead system, and stuck it in the new one.
