New y'all say...

I can get my hands on a year old (thats what he says at least) 40GB system. I can get to see it working and it comes with GTA4, Unreal Tournament, Pro Evo 09 and Assassins Creed 1.
He's asking 200 euro's atm, i think i might be able to get it for 180...
New slims are 300 euro's without any games.

Any thoughts on that?

Well.... I bought a 80gb Used ps3 with 5 games for 250 not that long ago (around august 2009) and it came out to be one of the best deals ever x) I sold 3 of those games and bought some other ones. I haven't had any problems with the console so far.

 

That's a great deal there. If you are willing to risk it, it can either be a GREAT deal, or a bad one. IF you care about those games, it's even better. Keep in mind that every game was 60 at the time of release. How much do you know the owner of the console?

 

If I were you, i'd risk it x) it looks like is worth it. But hey... if you want to support sony (lol) go ahead and buy a new one. Go safe
