  • Wow! So pleasantly surprised.
I've always been leery about purchasing refurbished products. Seems I've always been burned in the few times in the past I've bought them. Inheriting someone else's problems and all. With that said, I really wanted a PS3 again, so I started looking into buying one. There are reports of certain companies claiming to refurbish consoles only to be flat out lying. There are several videos on YouTube exposing them, but it seems Amazon generally gets a passing grade. So, I put in the order (with an extended warranty), crossed my fingers, and waited for my PS3 to arrive. When it arrived and I first opened it, I was immediately shocked by its condition. It was advertised as being in "excellent" condition, and that is exactly how I would describe it. Practically looks brand new. The only signs of wear are the two scratches above the HDMI port as you see in the photo. This obviously didn't affect the performance. All of the other ports look great and show no visible signs of wear and tear. Either Amazon replaced everything or the console's previous owner took good care of it. As the photos show, the console as a whole looks clean and free of blemishes. I found no dust around the fan or vent. No grime in the cracks. The console may have lost that "new electronics" aroma long ago, but it does have a clean, fresh scent. I've had it for ten days now and have put quite a few hours into it. I've downloaded a few games from the Playstation store and played a few from discs. Discs load, are read, and eject smoothly with no signs of struggle. Games and apps play and work as they should. I could have found a PS3 a little cheaper elsewhere, but I wanted to go this route, as Amazon usually stands behind the quality of their products and services. I couldn't be happier with this purchase so far, and I intend to order a refurbished PS2 here on Amazon very soon. ... show more

  • unsatisfying purchase
Product stopped working and I couldn’t return it; I am currently looking for a repair shop and no one is able to provide a solution for faulty hardware ; it was purchased (renewed) which indicates it was at one point unusable until it was fixed ; less than two years later the console will not power on for more than three seconds before powering off ; it doesn’t load up or show the xmb screen it just whirs up and shuts off; Amazon had deactivated my account during the initial return period until I was recently able to log on ; now I’m outside the warrant period and I am out $200 that I spent along with my digital film collection and image stills from my favorite tv shows that I decided to store on the hard drive; now I’m sitting here with a seven pound paperweight that isn’t worth nearly what I paid for. ... show more

  • Worth It?
Just got it today. I was hesitant to order a used one because it's hit or miss most of the times. I was blown away by how clean the ps3 was. It looked brand new. I'm very pleased with it. I wanted to play some old school call of duty games and ps3 was the right choice. The order only came with the console so if you don't own a ps4 or ps5 that uses the same cables then order some separately. You can use ps4 and ps5 controllers with the ps3 so that's a nice bonus. Update: The ps3 does lag and stutter on games. The hard drive does need to be replaced for an SSD. It is worth it as after the upgrade it works like new. ... show more

  • Beyond impressed
Yes, beyond impressed. Advertised as console by itself no plugs or controller which is fine. I have been wanting to replace my PS3 from 2010 that shuts off or don’t play good anymore so I have all cables and controllers. This was my second attempt at purchasing a PS3 through Amazon and this one, I struck gold. Thank you to this seller for such excellent care and honesty. It works perfect and looks brand new. Have been playing and making sure physical games discs and movies work and i have had no problem. The downloaded games work as they should and am beyond impressed. Thanks again. ... show more

  • Great Quality But A Fatal Flaw.
It arrived today as a Christmas gift for my brothers. I was beyond excited, to relive the classics we played as kids. I inspected it before we wrapped it up. (Didn’t want to get all excited for a console that didn’t work) Everything worked, things were going great until I put a disc in. The disc worked, but when I went to eject. Nothing. The eject didn’t work at all. I can do a manual eject luckily. But it’s a nuisance. So keep this in mind when ordering. It would’ve been five but I gotta give it a three. ... show more
