As many of you already know, A lighting strike hit near my room and killed my Modem and it seems in the procese it took my PS3 too.

Now that my compy of disgaea 4 is arriving these days i trying to figure out wether i should get a brand-new system and wich one. Right now i have the following choises:

1. PS3 Slim 160gb

Retail price: $249.99

My price with taxes: $267.48

My price with discount $ 192.48

This model comes with a big bigger drive comprare the one damaged. It is the same but i have seen images from the inside and it is said the heatsink is less sophisticate and it has been confirm they have a cheaper and smaller fan, plus they don't come with the led indicator lights, wifi light and no white on and off buttons light. Eh! i hate this.

2. PS3 320gb with infamous and 30 days of PS-plus

Retail price: $299.99

My price: $320.98

My price with discount: $245.98

This one cost more but it came with 320gb drive, an infamous 2 game, and 30 days of PS-plus. An extra 320 drive cost $50 on ebay and infamous currently sells at $59.99 ($64.18 with taxes were I live). The drawback is the same as the other, on and off without lights and no led lighted indicators.

3. Any of the above mentioned with a $75.00 dollars discount if i give my non working PS3 for trade-in at Gamestop. The drawback is that i can try selling the inside parts on ebay for more. Heck a disc drive sells for $70.00 to $75.00 but I've never sold on ebay and it can take time to do so.

4. Sony Refurbished PS3

My cost $100.00 and my damaged PS3

Ok this one is a bit tempting but I have to wait for a box, send it back to Sony and wait after they receive it to arrive back to me in 7 to 10 days. The problem is that Sony send a Refurbished console that who knows what it had and how many times it have been sent to sony. They give only 3 months of warranty and you take the risk of having to send it back again very fast.
