i went to eb today n i saw a they had a used ps3 for $349.99 CDN (60gb) and $249.99 CDN (20gb), after i trade 10 games. the games im tradin i dont play so it not a prob. the thing is i dont kno what to expect from buyin a used system. does eb check if everythin is in order before they buy it off a person? controls work, hardware issues and all that good stuff. if anyone knows bout this anyone let me kno please.

I bought a used ps2 from there a few years back after mine stop working and I havent had a problem. With the ps3I would expect the same and since its been out for less then a year they probably in real good shape.

Ask them what their return policy is. If they give you at least a few weeks to try it out and make sure it works then go ahead.

Never bought anything used from EB, New yes..Im a little weary of used, but thats me, im sure many have wonderful stories about used products..

If you do make the purchase, go 60 gb for the extra hundred, and WELCOME TO THE FAMILY

You should have a 30 day return period just like buying used games. If so, no harm, go for it...

It sounds too good to be tru, honestly I think u should get it new. If its there and its used then theres something wrong with it. I mean this isnt a used game we're talking about its a system and a expensive one.

yah but it does not good for EB to sell a defective system for it t get returned, i would definetly check it that day or have them show you in the store, if they have a problem doing that than i would be skeptical. but i cant imagine it was returned due to not working more like someone who just didnt want it for some ODD reason

Don't buy it just yet, the price of a new system is about to drop in about a week.
