Used slim or new?

I can buy a used PS3 slim for 180-200 dollars or a new one for 299 dollars...

The PS3 I'm looking at is about a year old for 200. Is it worth it to save the 150 (tax included) or should I just buy a new one? I'm asking in terms of life expectancy.

I think it would be better to just buy a new one.

But used is a save of $150... :/

Well, if the used has only been played for a year it should have lots of life left? Right?

Not if the previous owner would drop kick it every time they got killed in Black Ops. Unless you absolutely trust the owner and know that it has had a good home, I would buy a new one.

If you buy a $300 PS3. You'll get assured quality

I hope I don't get in trouble for this, but I would say to go on Amazon if that it is possible. I got a used Move bundle $300; I haven't had any issues at all.

With hardware reliability not being all that great, I would by new if possible. Atleast you get a warranty if it dies quickly on you. You can never tell. I remember when I was a kid (I am now 33), I would take my SNES and throw it across the room every time Bison in SF2 on the hardest difficulty level would beat me. On another note, SNES' were built strong.. :D

going on the safe route,buy new this way you have your warranty plus peace of mind.

Personally there is no way I'd buy a used one, just save up a bit more and go new, you'll probably be thanking yourself down the road when the used once decides to **** out on you.

Yes, yes they were.

Buy new....you never know how the last owner may have abused it.
