got a PS3 at launch in Europe. Still working even though I use it nearly every day.

- Euro Launch

- Paid £415

- Still works fine.

1000$

the motorstorm/resistance bundle in 2007:p

no problems so far

Got it at the Euro launch, March 27 2007 xD

It was 600 euros

I've had Blu-Ray issues last december (Blu-Ray broke down), got it fixed for 120 euros and now works like a charm.

I want to say I got my 60GB at launch (NA), but it might have been a couple months later.

Anyway, it worked fine for a year or so, and then my dad knocked it off its table about 2 1/2 feet onto a tile floor, which popped off the lid breaking the warranty. It seemed like that was all that happened for a while, but after a few more months I discovered a problem which I honestly don't quite recall, which was annoying but didn't make it unplayable. Maybe it was something like the HDMI port didn't work anymore (which I wasn't using at the time).

Eventually (lots of procrastination, and I was playing it all this time so obviously it wasn't too bad a problem), I got it repaired (read: replaced?) and no problems with the replacement, also 60GB, ever since.

60GB B/C model

Bought it for $600 USD

Only issue I ever had was that my controllers wouldn't sync unless I had the USB cord connected, but for some reason about 3-4 months ago they started syncing properly again.

So nope, no problems to report and my PS3 runs around 40-50 hours a week easy since it used as my BD + DVD player.

286$ (console only used from ebay)

Still kicking!

I never had a PS2 so i didnt want to miss out on all the good games i missed D:

Winter 2008
400$ used
Still alive and well.

The original owner kept the receipt, he paid $800 on Ebay for a brand new one in November 2006.

got mines just as they were being discontinued. Had to travel rly far out of my way to get it. it was 500 then but with my employee discount at Gamestop and trade in of both versions of PS2, controllers, and a few games, bonus trade credit with Edge Card, and a coupon, that bought it down to about 70-80 bucks lol.

In the end......it was worth it :)

Still kickin (although when I play, it sounds like a "jet plane about to take off" as I have trouble getting rid of the dust from the vents)
