I remember reading up on this "special" the other day.  Cheap recharging station, cheap HDMI cable, cheap remote controller, and cheap USB Hub.  No thanks.  Oh and since this is a Gamestop refurbished PS3, SONY is not getting a red cent from this sale.

"As long as Sony get the money from the PlayStation 3 console sales I really don’t think there is an issue."

Yeah, right.


Someone had to buy the original system...


But not from this "deal."  And I'm not knocking buying a used system.  I'm just commenting on the article.

Not sure if this was covered yet or not, but these are factory refurbished systems they get from Sony. So they pay a reduced price for the refurbished ones directly to Sony and if it's anything like the Xbox 360 refurbs GameStop sells, they usually still come with a 1 year warranty from MS/Sony.

So yes, Sony still gets the money from these.
