OK so here is me playing my ps3 in black ops 2. all of a sudden it freezes.
then i try the Elder Scrolls V: skyrim it still freezes. and then i wait 2 weeks because it wouldn't turn on, what do you know it turned on but 5 min. into skyrim it freezes again and gets the YLOD. I'm not buying a ps4. I'm practically done with Sony

I was not to sure about buying a refurbished ps3 from Game stop but turns out it was in great condition and it could play back with ps2 games.Overall it works great already lasted me over 2 years and if you dont have a ps3 and want compatible with ps2 games at a low price well a ps3 from Game stop is right for you. Unless your waiting for Sonys new ps4 the refurbed ps3 is great for you. Also if you have a ps3 my psn account id is El-MaTa-MoNoS2 we could play black ops 2 mw2 uncharted etc.

this system is definitely worth it. however mine died from ylod (yellow light of death). found a way to get it working again by heating the mother board, though its only last for a few weeks each times. now looking for replacements for it. other than that, it worked great, before mine died, and its supports ps2 games, of course ps1 games too. love it to death and good way to play all ps games without buying multiple systems at once. I highly recommend this system. by the way, don't worry too much about ylod stuff. few fat ps3 will cause ylod, unlike the original xbox 360, so there so little chance for it to happen to you. but you might want to be careful though, just in case for any few who get it.

I got this for Christmas and I absolutely love it. It's really quiet and runs great. The backwards compatibility is awesome and one of the main reasons I decided to get the 80GB version. I've used my PS3 almost everyday and haven't had any problems with it at all so I'm very satisfied with the work that Gamestop did refurbishing it. This system is worth getting for any gamer.

Received the first one, And it wouldnt eject the disc. Returned it and had another one shipped to me. Used this one for approx 2 weeks, And went to a red screen and then nothing. Returned it and had another one shipped to me. Opened the box, Set it up, And it wouldnt eject the disc, Plus it would turn on by its self. in all my years i never have seen anything like this. Totally disappointed !!!!!

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
i bought it refurbihed about a year ago and it makes less noise than my xbox slim that i also bought about a year ago the only thing that works better on the xbox slim is downloading games and updates via wi fi i bought the fat version because of the card readers 4 usb slot and because i love the design better than the slim and of course because i wanted to play ps2 games on higher definition than just 420i the game that i wanted to play (TCNYC) didnt work on the xbox so i bought the ps3 80gb because i dint know that you can expand the memory(expert recomended for doing that) and i didnt know 80gb had ps2 emulator so the game had some controlling problems but looks great on hd, so i would like to change it for a 60 gb and change the hdd up to 500gb or 1Tb if you want to play an especific game for ps2 that has problems on the 80gb you should get a 60 gb and buy a 500gb hdd believe me 60,80,120 gb is not enough idk if slim versions have better wi fi but the ps3 fat is an awesome console believe me you are going to love it.

i had bought this ps3 online at game stops website had it for about two and a half months then it died on me i took it to a place that fixes ps3 and the first words he used when he opened it up was wow surprised it even worked at all when i had gotten the system i keep it on an open space nothing surrounding it but during the time it did work i shut off on its on in the middle of playing it it froze i would not recommend it to anyone paying for it and if you don't have the money to have it fix through PlayStation cause then charge a fortune to fix it

This system is a great value! This system is one of the best in this gen. I've had my PS3 for 5 years and it just recently broke. Plus it has way better exclusives than the xbox 360

ps3's a really good systems. They are worth your money. they last long and like just about all games are very addictive. If you happen to buy one just make sure you're getting a least 80 gbs because you'll need them!

This is a realy good console even though it is refurbished. I have not had any problems with the console yet. The bad part is that they changed its outer appearance.

The console did EVERYTHING it was supposed to do! The first day I bought it, I used it for AT LEAST eleven straight hours and didn't have a single issue with it. The only thing I did NOT like about it was that, for the price, and the fact that it was Certified Refurbished, I was a bit annoyed that the normal piano black glossy shell with "Playstation 3" in chrome on the top was replaced with a flat black generic shell that said NOTHING! You would think they would charge ALOT LESS in that case. I mean, yeah, it's backwards compatible but, if you refurbish something, you are SUPPOSED to make it look brand new!!!!

I've had my PS3 for 3 years now, and it still runs like it came out of the box, I never bought my PS3, but I won it at a church lottery (at first I wanted an Xbox 360, ended up winning the PS3 instead and the PS3 was 1st price by the way) and its perfect, there's really nothing wrong with the PS3 at all, I can't think of any cons for the console. Now, one of my favorite pros for the PS3 is the FREE membership for PlayStation Network, a big pro for any people out there looking for a free online gaming unlike Xbox Live, now, the PS3 may be a little more costly than the Xbox, but as the title says, "you get what you paid for" so, if you want a dependable console (my console has not had any problems at all) play BlueRay movies (the reason why the PS3 is a little more costly) and FREE online, than the PS3 is the console for you.

this system had many potentials: blu-ray,HDMI, universal hard drive replacements, and revolutionary cell processor. and still left room for improvement for its successor. now with the vita you can play almost anywhere. the big complaints i have are: its a power sucker, the old model was pure bulk, and above all the ventilation was very poor (especially on the slim) because the fan down fires on both. i did my own repairs to fix the majority of these problems (not recommended for beginners or people with warranties).

Do not. EVER. Buy a refurbished ps3. Ever. My story is, I bought one from gamestop for $200 and something odd dollars. Sure you have a 30 day warranty, but it's not worth it to save and copy over files you started on it. After my 30 day warranty was up with only slight problems that i thought nothing of, soon it stopped reading disc's all together. You cannot purchase a warranty from sony if you buy one refurbished i found out. So i had to bring it in a 3rd party repair shop and turns out the blue ray laser was fryed, which cost $120 to replace. After that it works beautifully but for a $300+ for an old version and a week w/o my ps3 for repairs. Just save up a little more and buy a new one. TRUST ME on this one from experience. So you don't have to empty your pockets like i did.
