Huge problem with BRAND NEW Ps3

Hey everyone.

Tonight my brother bought a Ps3 from Wal-Mart. First off, when we opened it up, we noticed that the Ps3 was scratched and scuffed up. WTF? "Is it used? what the hell is this crap...look how deep that scratch is" he said... So he said he would return it tommorow, but figured we would hook it up to play tonight. We hook the Ps3 up to the TV, hook up the audio, then plug in the Ps3 to the power outlet. I turn the power on at the back, then press power in the front.

Red light, quickly turns to a yellow light. This is supposedly a BRAND NEW Ps3. But like I said, it was scratched and everything. Is it possible that Wal Mart sold me a USED+BROKEN Ps3?

 

Here's my guess: Someone had their ps3 break. They didn't want to pay Sony $150 to fix it out of warranty. Wal-mart has a lax return policy so they bought a new unit from wal-mart, swapped their broken ps3 into the box and returned it. Your brother got an old PS3. Check the model #, it's probably not even the right model.
