After YEARS of desperately wanting one and I NEVER really had a reason to get one mostly because all the games I wanted for it were coming out on the 360 and well I REALLY wanted it for the superior graphics, faster CPU, and SOOO much extras, I got banned from xbl on a gamertag I had for over 4 years and over 4 years on xbl BANNED till year 9999 and SOOO much work and time into that tag and then all the sudden BOOM I got that message . SOOO thanks microsoft for that, giving me the last reason I would need to be pushed into getting the most powerful game console out on the market... and the ONLY console I think that's worth the money you pay for it. so I traded my xbox360 console, 120GB HDD 20GB HDD, all 12 of my games wireless headset, and EVERYTHING I could, and I still had to pay a little out of pocket to get my playstation3 , and I'm SOOOOO VERY satisfied.. I mean at the moment I have fun just using my netflix and the other ps3 features on it and NO games yet, but WOW sooo worth the money I'm gonna be saving at least 50 dollars a year on online service, and not to mension not have to worry about the common over heating issues or that dreadful RROD.. yeah they both have their issues but I have wanted a ps3 much more than a 360 and WOW, THANK YOU GOD for this.. it's God given, almost all my friends I know personally have a ps3 and hardly any a 360. So yeah that's my little story.. it was refurbished and looks and plays like never used.. came with the SD component cable, power cord and 1 wireless sixaxis controller YEEAAAH LOVE THIS MACHINE lol
