"Though Sony may be on high alert because of recent hacks made on their PlayStation 3 system, I don’t think Sony are at all concerned with the “Supercharged” consoles that Gamestop are selling. Why? Well, first and foremost, Gamestop aren’t breaking any rules. Secondly, these consoles are not modified, they are refurbished.

If anyone actually bothered to check the specifics of the “Supercharged” PlayStation 3 consoles they would have noticed that the only two things that are different is hard-drive and the skin. The rest are just components that you would otherwise have to spend a little extra to get. This is more of a special package deal rather than a special modified console sale. And the last time I checked removing or replacing the hard-drive wasn’t in breach of the warranty. Nicraevolution should do some fact checking before making wild accusations like this.

So, before you jump the gun and accuse Gamestop of selling hacked or modified consoles please do some reading. As long as Sony get the money from the PlayStation 3 console sales I really don’t think there is an issue."

Why the author is so mad ?

anyways it does have an HDD right? , because without an HDD , you can't install games.

It has a 500gb hard drive. The author is mad because there was another article that claimed that Gamestop was selling hacked ps3's, when actually it was just refurbs.
