Gamestop starts selling PS3 Modded(Lawsuit Coming)

Gamestop has begun selling a modded PS3, these models are known as supercharged and are being promoted to your specifications that brings a 500gb hard drive 5400rpm, media remote control, hdmi, supercharged skins, all at the price of $ 400. GameStop may believe what is being modded to sell the PS3 that will be coming following a lawsuit by sony

Good luck with that, Sony.

Prediction: Sony removes ability to upgrade HDDs

Modded? It's an upgraded HDD, and doing that doesn't even void the warranty. Everything else is an add-on that can be purchased for the system. Sounds to me like this is some kind of Gamestop bundle deal if anything, hardly "modded."

An upgraded HD and some accessories aren't illegal.

:roll: really? n4g? and its not even correct since its not modded...

At first I thought they were selling Jail Broken PS3's then I read on....:P

By the way, the deal sucks when you consider how much those extras are worth. You're paying $50 more than a 320GB Move bundle costs and only getting what likely amounts to a $3 HDMI cable, a $1 USB Hub, $15 or less remote, a skin that isn't worth anything. Almost no one will need a 500GB HDD.

Don't ever source anything from N4G. Makes you look bad.

If you want news then use RSS feeds like a sane person. This way you can actively opt out of the piece of **** sources that "people" at N4G vomit onto the site.

It's cheaper to do it yourself, $299 PS3 + ~$50 500gb hard drive (the real selling point of the bundle). The other stuff's just cheap fluff. Bought separately it'll be about $40-50 less.

And not sure what's illegal about what they're doing. Not even sure why legality would be brought into question.

first i thought it was gonna be a link to gamestop selling jail broken ps3s. i was like "oh man its gonna go down". read the article and then thought "pfff whats the big deal". meh cant expect much from n4g. fix that title for crying out loud lol.

Upgrading HDD is not modding. :lol:

well, I wouldn't buy one since it probably voids the manufacturer warrantylamprey263

Changing the HDD doesn't void the warranty.

um , FAIL

modded is being able to play copies of games. not having an upgraded hard drive

[QUOTE="mrmusicman247"] This is probably true but Gamestop might offer their own kind of warranty.mrmusicman247

Misleading title, it's not modded and if it's, they should be sued.

What a cheap article.

All they did was change the hard drive,skin and throw in a bunch of accessories.

heh, whats next? Sony suing for unplugging your console? :P

Pretty much this.

Lots of stores are already selling customized ps3s and have for years. Sony seems to be fine with it.

Thread fail.
