This console has so many features, its an excellent all in one system. Ive played ps1 ps2 and ps3 games and they all run well. It can video stream and its got a massive amount of ports on it. The only problems with the device are the ones most people probably know about, the overheating, fan noise, charging controllers, and small storage. Its very important you place this in a well vented and cool area since it is prone to overheating and destroying itself. This can also help with decreasing noise as it can reduce fan speed. Id also recommend upgrading the 60gb hard drive to a cheaper ssd. You wont benefit much from buying a top of the line ssd but cheaper ones can definitely improve load times. Plus more storage is always a benefit. Thankfully switching out drives ... MoreThis console has so many features, its an excellent all in one system.

Lastly, the DualShock 3 only charges when plugged into the ps3 itself and not a regular wall charger. There are special charging docks you can get elsewhere but itd be nice if you could just plug them into the wall with a regular charger. All in all, as long as youre willing to accommodate some of its quirks and find one that hasnt been heavily used, its an excellent system for all your older PlayStation games. As a side note, if you have apsp go and a psp go cradle, you can connect a DualShock 3 to it and basically turn your psp go into a dockable handheld like the Nintendo switch.

The PS5 was way larger than I expected. Much larger than it's counterpart the XBOX Series X - height and width wise. The shape is interesting and the sides can slide off so that you can change them or even paint them I suppose. Sony has a much harder warranty process that only applies to the original purchaser, whereas Microsoft stands behind a consoles warranty no matter who originally purchased it. Playstation has far fewer exclusive games than I remember. I don't think you need both brand of gaming consoles anymore as games are similar/same on both systems. Pick one and run with it! Being Sony you expect good graphics. Though at the price of consoles these day it must be hard when you have several children to buy for. It's nearly to the point where you are pushed ... MoreThe PS5 was way larger than I expected. Much larger than it's counterpart the XBOX Series X - height and width wise.

The Vita is quite a good console to use despite its age. My main issue with it however is the somewhat lackluster catalauge of titles, especially when it comes to Sony's first-party studios, who only released a of couple games. There are a couple of gems here and there though. Once it's modded though, that's when the console really opens up. You can play PS1 titles, abandon the proprietary storage, download Homebrew, etc.

Bought this backwards compatible console (60GB), hoping that after all the recent issues they would actually be cleaning and refurbishing their consoles, not the case. Appeared clean, but front plate had horrible deep scratches, took at look inside, dirty, never cleaned, dry termal paste, not refurbished at all. They even sent a fake PS3 controller that does not work with older games (to their credit, after complaining they did send me an actual Sony one, as it was stated on the purchase page). I guess all the recent articles and press about them scamming people, saying they refurbished their console was true. Guess now they are changing their terms, really disappointed, since it was not a cheap console.
I ordered the PlayStation 3 slim console came with a controller I also ordered the camera the PlayStation move wand and the PlayStation move controller. The console works great I haven't stopped playing it since I got it I bought it for all the light gun games basically. So the PlayStation move camera the wand and the controller all work great with my light gun games. This is actually the second console I bought from you guys. I also bought a Playstation 2 slim not too long ago before I ordered your PlayStation 3. Also awesome and I've been getting more use out of these than my new Xbox One. Plus the PlayStation 3 also plays every regional code game there is I'm finding that out little by little I buy my games from all over the world and this console is open region. ... MoreI ordered the PlayStation 3 slim console came with a controller I also ordered the camera the PlayStation move wand and the PlayStation move controller.

Plus I now own every single light gun game there is for PlayStation 1 PlayStation 2 and Playstation 3 thanks to you guys for supplying the consoles. I used to be that guy that swore he would never buy a used console in his life. DK Oldies, you changed my attitude about that completely.
I have been wanting to go back to some of my favorite PS3 games. Been watching a bunch of your shorts and gave you guys a shot. While the box came with a few bumps and scratches, everything inside was nice and safe. I have had no issues with any of the items I ordered and the game disks, controller, and system looked perfect. I recently finished Final Fantasy, and had no issues with either the system, controller, or the game. There isn't any retro game stores within driving distances of my place, so this is a perfect alternative.
What I dislike is how it arrived at my home the box seem that the tape wasn’t holding box closed so you can the little bit of foam inside that was a concern. Now what like so far is that the console is working quite well considering how it arrived . Have no problem yet had for about a week. They do need to improve on the way there are packaged. The console had a some marks but that know big deal but console is working right controller had at times does shut off but I figure how give controller more time , all the cords came with the console.
The super slim ps3 was released only a year before the ps4 came out, giving it a good remaining lifespan. I do like the manual disk-tray slide as (like the ps1) you can remove disks while the power is off. The ps3 design is also more efficient and isn't as likely to die due to the YLOD problem the initial generations suffered from. The PS3 also plays ps1 games, which are fun to revisit. One caveat is that some of the online features have been obsoleted, including those for individual PS3 games. However, if your main interest is single-player offline, the games are still quite good (we have a ps4 so I'm comparing to that). The other oddity is that the DVD player works but the Blu-Ray does not. I dont know if its a firmware/software/laser failure (DVD and Blu-Ray use ... MoreThe super slim ps3 was released only a year before the ps4 came out, giving it a good remaining lifespan.

The other oddity is that the DVD player works but the Blu-Ray does not. I dont know if its a firmware/software/laser failure (DVD and Blu-Ray use separate lasers). The specific console I received was in good condition with barely any wear. Other than the Blu-Ray issue it works fine.
Upon receiving the product, the outside was in very average shape, and was CAKED in dust. Bits of chipped away plastic from the outside areas was also definitely a let down. As a technology professional, I was interested in the inside of this console. According to what you guys mention on your website, "refurbished" and "clean". I'm sad and disappointed that you can put that on your website and make these guarantees, after the condition my PS3 was in. It appears the PS3 was water damaged and went for a nice swim sometime during it's life. If you understand how life works, you'd realise that water damage leads to rust, which was the explanation of the rust and corrosion on the back on my console. It's also sad that you are listing such a terrible condition console ... MoreUpon receiving the product, the outside was in very average shape, and was CAKED in dust.

It's also sad that you are listing such a terrible condition console for such a big amount of money, $400 Australian Dollars (AUD) to be exact.If the rust and dust wasn't enough, I found that the PS3's disc sliding-door was in terrible condition, getting stuck in certain places along the rails, which was resolved after I took out a nice chunk of plastic, sitting on the clog tray. Very disappointing, for a store that sells "great condition consoles". I hope you find some new people in the tech department to restore or "refurbish" these consoles, because whoever did "restored" or "refurbished" my console, must've been blind and stupid, at the same time.
The good thing is, the system seems to work great. This is a minor gripe, but the systems are not really specified as to which region it’s from. This is a minor issue as in some regions, the X and O button functions are reversed and there’s no way to change the settings.I reached out to the seller multiple times and still have zero responses. So, just be aware when buying.4 stars for the system and controller. Minor wear and tear, but runs a little hot.1 star for the seller. They are terrible if you try to get a hold of them, and aren’t clear in the item description.Over score is 3 stars. Better to find a reputable seller and know what you’re getting.
