If you've had bad experience with a used Ps3 before why risked it again. Buy the Ps3 new with a year warranty.

Yes, I recently bought a 160gb slim PS3 for $299 to replace my broken fat 80gb BC model, but it wasn't under warranty.

You already had a bad experience with used, and your asking a question like this? Use your head for more than a hat rack.

you say its a lot of money, yet if you wouldve just gotten it new in the first place, you wouldnt be having this problem right now ;) so obviously new is the correct answer.

Hmm...a $40 difference isn't to much going from used to new,and since you've had previous problems with used systems before,get the new one.Plus,don't you just love opening up that box to your new system?
