New or Used PS3?

My ps3 was stolen recently...i'm def gonna purchase another one...should i just buy a new one or should i try to find a used one? I dont wanna get screwed over with a crappy used one..how can i be sure it works properly? any thoughts? or should i just buy a new one..

i got a used one but it was from my close friend from high school. If you dont have any friends selling one then i would buy a new one.

Right now, the prices for used old version slim PS3 and brand new version slim PS3 isn't that big of a difference. Around $50? I just got PS3 recently and I made sure that it was the latest version that is more energy efficient with the brand new chip. Less energy and less heat should mean less chance of breaking down. Less fan noise as well. I didn't want to buy an older slim model that didn't come with any warranty. Warranty is very important just in case.

I say regardless if it's new/used get a Slim, and you'll be just fine.

I'd buy new then you still have some sort of warrenty on it, plus if you buy used you have no way of knowing how well the previous owner treated it. So spend the extra few bucks and buy new.

I would definately buy new but i would look for a deal on a new phat PS3. That way you get the best of both worlds. You get it cheap and a warranty. I still see them occasionally in some retail stores.
