I would just wait to get a new system for the piece of mind. Could you buy a refurb and have it last years with no problems, sure. You just never know how the person before you treated it. I would save enough for a new one.
please i need to know. i have $390 and yeah, the refurbished one is $350.
Nothing really, Exept it might be scratched or not as good condition, But the PS3 will sooner or later get scratched. But you can just save up 10$ more and get a brand new PS3.
what are the drawbacks

but then i need the 30 extra bucks. =\
i just wanna get the system as soon as possible, i did the checkout on gamestop, and it comes out to $386.98, with overnight shipping.
If you buy a refurbished can you send it in to sony to get it fix if it breaks? I really just would get a new one if i were you, i would just wait till you get the extra 30 bucks or whatever.
buyers beware. theres a reason why these console got sent in in the first place. just get a new one.FreshDimSum
Thats very true. Dont rush into it, just save the extra money. It probably only has a 90 day warranty through GS. After that you will be out of luck if you have a problem.
In the past I have gotten some products that were referb's and they worked as good, sometimes better than the new products. When it comes to elecrtonics if it's a Sony refurb many times it comes with the same warranty as a new system. I have gotten automotive computors a few years ago that had a lifetime warranty on them and they worked and lasted better than the new ones did (they used a beefed up part on the circuit board over what it came with).
But if it's a refurb from a unknown third party then buyer beware means a lot.
