    Impulsive buying is fine if you're actually getting a bargain. I mean a real bargain and not just the cheapest option available to you at the time.
    You live in a huge country with millions of people. There are loads of opportunities they just aren't down the road from you atm.

    It should actually be easier for you to get bargains than it is for me. Although I am older so maybe that's an advantage...there are considerably less people here though.

    No they aren't.
    Are there only slims left everywhere now, and if you did come across a fat that was free would you just ignore it?

    Free is what it would take for me at this point.

    Well, I hadn't even used it beyond initial testing. I only asked about $10 for it though iirc. Last I knew it was still working for the guy I sent it to.

    wtf the listing title says $65 but in the ad it says $80.
    go ahead if it's a 21xxx or 22xxx slim.

    $5 each for the games would be my guess.

    It looks like a super slim, so I don't think it's hackable. Not sure though, I haven't looked into that at all. PS3 games are cheap anyway.

    that makes sense I'd only be interested in burnout.
    yeah but you can't play ps2 or out of region games on a non-hackable

    All PS3s are region free. Honestly, I bet I could get a hackable slim in the same range for you so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

    If you don't have a PS2 and want one, I can send you one that has a non-working disc drive for the cost of shipping or trade it for w/e. You'd just need to get a network adapter and a compatible HDD and you can play w/e on it. There is something better than HDLoader now, I forget what it is called.

    Huh, that PS2 just managed to read a disc. Took a bit though, I wouldn't trust it for that, but maybe it's not as bad as I remembered.

    easier to run them off a ps3 hdd than to buy a bunch and burn a bunch of dvds(some of which may not work or bad burn) and from what I remember hdd compatibility for ps2 isn't great.

    It's much better now. I believe it is under 30 known games with issues on OPL and there are so many PS2 games.

    If you are having burns fail you should get a new disc drive.
