PS3: New vs Refurbished

refurb ps3

The PlayStation has always been the top of the “things from Santa” lists for many kids of many ages. Sony has now launched the refurbished PS3, a second hand PS3 with an official warranty. Is it really safe to get a second hand PS3? Is the risk really worth the money? Let’s have a look at the contrast between the two variants.

The Original PS3:  The new unit is obviously the better option to the refurb ps3 provided you have the resources. Youget a warranty of a year. On the down side of certain variants of the PS3 do not have a PS2 compatibility meaning your favorite PS2 games are a no one on the console. So if you seriously have no problem spending all that cash, grab a new one now. No second thoughts.

The Refurbished PS3: This used PS3 is the real deal. The refurb PS3 is an official release from Sony. It can be bought for about $100 less. It surprisingly comes with a warranty of 90 days and in some cases a year so it’s highly reassuring though second hand. With full PS2 compatibility it’s the right option for those on a budget
