I pick one up tomorrow, I live out in the sticks so not many to choose from, its a Slim CECH-2503B I believe 320 GB, Im not too fussed on modding, I dont play it much, its more for my wee boy to play minecraft on so I just need something that works. Apparently the seller has redone the thermal paste on this new one and the wifi and bluetooth all work , would it be prudent to update it while I know everything works?That sucks.
The good news is that PS3 consoles are pretty cheap now. If you buy one, buy a CFW-compatible model so you make the most of it.
