My personal opinion is buy a new console the fat SKU's are not as reliable as the slims. Plus you get a years warranty with it as well as peace of mind.
My highest offer for a PS3 fat 80gb would be £95.

Help! I'm gonna try and make this as short as possible since my issue is, i hope quite simple.. I took my ps3 slim apart because my disc drive was completely fn up. so i fixed it, in the process though, a small curved white piece on the TOP side of the black encasement of the laser mechanism, along with a flimsy little spring came off of it. I know where the white piece comes from but my question is HOW DOES THE SPRING GO IN?
i'm completely stumped with this spring, i have pictures but i have no idea if and how i can post them here maybe, any help would be a huuuuuuuuuuge life saver
You can post pictures by first uploading them to some image hosting site, then link to them.
I don't think I can help cuz I've never seen the inside of a ps3.
No problem I figure it'll take awhile til somone who may know comes along. Thanks for the reply and suggestion anyway. I was just too lazy to do it. Im trying it from my smartphone

After 4 years of posting here and never asking a question in this thread i have just one question to ask.
Will the PS3 go down as the greatest console of all time?
^Are you really El Presador?^
Hey guys, I'm picking up a 12GB PS3 Super Slim next week and I was wondering if you could suggest a HDD. I'd like a large HDD as I have PS+ and will be downloading a lot of games to the hard drive.
You don't have to spend that much nowadays for a 500gb HDD you only need a basic one because the PS3 will not take full advantage of the speeds. Here is one I found for you. http://www.ebuyer.com/284651-samsung...-hd-hn-m500mbb
I'm probably going to pick up an extra 500GB hard drive later as I'll mainly be using this PS3 to play Gran Turismo on.
I'll probably get that HDD. Good thing it's on Amazon :)
That game looks awesome! Would donate to it but I am currently saving for a Gaming PC and a PS4.
One more question, does anyone know if the new PS3 Super Slims are able to be jailbroken?
Switching back and forth from HD to SD on PS3 ?
On my old tv, the PS3 used a DVI to HDMI connector for HD at 1080i. However, whenever I needed to use my Canopus Capture Device I could easily switch to the AV MULTI/SCART settings for video. Then SD video of the PS3 could be sent to the capture card and also sent back to the front of the old tv with composite cables.
So now the PS3 is connected to my new Bravia. HDMI to HDMI (thru a receiver, but that's not really important) at 1080p.
Now when trying to switch the setting to AV MULTI/SCART nothing happens. In my google research, people seem to switch from HDTVs to SDtvs by using the system default settings method, you hold the start button and wait for the 2nd beep. However, that method seems to be for switching between DIFFERENT tvs and not the SAME HDTV. I tried it anyway, and could not get a signal.
I also tested all the composite cables, connections and capture card with a regular PSone, so I am confident I have ruled everything out except for the PS3.
This used to be incredibly simple. The only thing that changed was going from a 1080i DVI HD tv to a 1080p HDMI HD tv.http://bottalk.com/smiliesicons/confused.gif
Does this site have an official YouTube channel? if not, i'll be willing to donate mine for the website's use. I can put the weekly news up on the channel or anything else you are wanting me to do :)
i have a question why is my ps3 super slim 500gb turning off automatically I've tried everything that i can think of with air cleaner for the vent's and the cord's are fine i dont understand why it's still shutting off on it's own can some one please help me out
I have a Question About the different PS3 models available. I have never owned a PS3 but want to get one to play a few games, but also play blue rays and watch Netflix, and MLB.TV through it. So which do i need? Gig? slim?
PS3 turns itself off, blue light stays on forever, no disc inside, red light blinking when turning on then the ps3 turns itrself off.
Any idea what is going on with it?
Thanks from advance
Probably, but I would take the hard drive out and boot it up and see what it does to be sure.
