For a while Gamestop listed used ones for $79, but they seem to be gone now
If I am correct, you can use the custom firmware on them, you just have to run the loader each time after you turn it off. (sort of like a tethered iOS jailbreak)
LOLZ
You can buy one direct from Sony for $199

I've started games late before, but I don't like doing it... I like to have a lot of time to figure out the mechanics of the game before I stop playing, otherwise when I come back I'll usually end up forgetting key things that I should be doing, then start to get frustrated.![]()
