1. $400 for a "refurbished" system... No thanks. 2. 500 GB is way too much GBs as I am perfectly fine with 120 gb. 3. As for the media hub with remote control, don't like it because I prefer to use the better Sony blu-ray remote which has blutooth. The media hub sells for measly $17 on amazon. Charging stand? I just charge my controller on my laptop when it runs too low. HDMI cable? I just buy those for like $3. I don't care for supercharged skin. I would much rather buy a system when it has the $50-100 credit from amazon. And Costco had it for like $240 something a couple weeks ago. There are much better deals around.

That is a pretty lame deal. Also, i'm sure most of us around here already own a ps3. You should've posted this in console wars.

Refurbished is the real turn off here, it comes with no games but increases usb ports which i can buy a hub for cheap enough to do that. Meh

You can get a new PS3 for $300 and that drive costs $56 at Amazon. And you wouldn't even have to have their stupid stickers on it.

As tempting as it sounds, there are better deals out there. For example, for the same price of $399.99 you can get the 320 GB PS Move bundle.
