Well my friend is selling his 250gb PS3 with a extra wireless contoller. And I am considering of buying it. I am just wondering if i will run into any problems like when connecting to the internet. Or when i make a new profile and whatnot. Also will the warrenty still be in affect for me. He bought it like 9 months ago. And is there a way for me to clear all the data on the ps3 so it will be new and clean.

I am thinking of offering to buy it from him for about $200-$225 do you think this is a fair price higher lower what do you think?

i got a used ps3 save about 50 bucks then it bricked a few days after i got it. i would recommend that you get a new with a warranty for few years just to be on the safe side. 160 gb is 300 new and i got a 3 year warranty from target for like 40 bucks

If he has PSN games, you might reconsider before reformatting the HDD. You can still take advantage of those games he bought.

Just make a new PSN account and delete his user, that's all.

Tell your friend to fully delete every info about everything on the PS3 including connection setting and stuff and you should be good

My PS3 keeps overheating. It just stops itself and makes some weird beeping noise and flashes red. Any idea how I can fix this?
