This deal has been on-going since the price drop and intro of the SLIM. Not a bad deal, but factor in the cost of upgrading the hard drive and you may want to spend the extra cash for the newer, better warranty PS3 Slim.

#1 Agreed. This deal makes less sense as time goes on. In particular, if it's not a 4-port unit with PS2 backwards compatibility (like the earlier 40GB), why bother?

Add tax to this also...What does it have a 90 day warranty? No thanks...Just buy a new slim or wait a month or so and the slim will have an even bigger hard drive.

this is worth it for the backwards compatible one

Which were the ones that were compatible to PS2 games?

#4 - The 40 GB isn't BC.

#5 - The launch 20 60 had PS2 hardware, the 80 GB have software emulation.

no refurbs for me....get a new slim

Looking to purchase a game system for my son for Xmas. Would you suggest P3 or Xbox? Already has a Wii.

Hope this deal last until December

Considering most PS3 games are mandatory installs, and that this is a refurb...no thanks.

#8, please do not ask here, some people have very strong opinions. How about asking your son which one he likes!
consider the games and whether he would rather play netflix streamed movies or play blu-ray disk movies. both are now a reasonable price IMO.

I sold all my PS2 games (like $1,500 dollars worth) for only $100 to play-n-trade, and now I am kicking myself. The games would have been loads of fun for my younger kids. And, with the PS3 achieving a nice price point, I could have enjoyed the graphics of the newer titles and the play-again value of the PS2 titles. All I can say is, DOH!

No BC, no sale!! Fight for your right to party like it's 1999!!

Hasn't anyone figured out a way to put the emulation software onto the hard drives on a non BC PS3? Everone is always trying to find ways to get around restrictions on gaming consoles, so you'd think this would have been done a long time ago.

Oink

Per Dell - you shouldn't expect this purchase to arrive for at least 6 weeks. Lame

Sounds like a good deal.
