I really wouldn't get a second hand 60GB PS3. Especially not off local ads, definitely almost certainly gonna have been YLOD repaired.
Ah - thanks! Well, we have got several PS2s, and people have mentioned to me that I ought to say 'screw backward compatibility; just keep your PS2 around!', so maybe I wont even screw with getting a B/C model...

As to 'local ads', no, no...nothing like those, we only buy cartridges and certain systems via E-Bay and Craigslist, I'm VERY wary of CD-based machines..
The two/three PS3s that have been offered to me are all owned by fellow collectors, people that we know and have done business with...

Yeah, I might just say to hell with it....get a 'regular' model that CANT do PS2....I can always break out a Fat or a Slim to rock those 'older' discs, anyhow...
