Keep or sell PS3?

[Long Live Test Cricket]

I am expecting a PS3 to be here on Friday/Monday, ordered from ebay. It was pretty cheap, I was planning to sell it here, should make some profit considering its not out here.

I have heard some more positive things about it, if I keep it I will be able to sell my NTSC PS2 (can probably get around $180 for it over here w/games) and I bought the PS3 for less than UK retail price.

So should I keep it or sell it?

I'm thinking, if something goes wrong, how hard will it be for me to return it? Would I be able to ship it to sony or does it have to be taken back to the store where it was bought?

Wait, you got it on Ebay and it was cheap?

i'd say sell it, it's not out for 4 months there, you'll make a killing

It was $700, which is like ?350, they are only going to be selling the 60gb one here which will be ?425.

And the trouble is, I can't use ebay to sell it, I will have to find some other way.

advertise locally or something?

won't there be a problem since the PS3 you have is a NTSC and you guys are a PAL region? Try a US military base.

Its a possibility though I can't see it being sold for that much money in my area, if I was still living in London I would definately do that.



PS3 is region free, though blue rays/DVDs etc are still region encoded. Though I haven't bought a movie in quite along time so for me it won't be much of an issue.

PS3 is region free I believe.

I'd sell it since you will make a ton for it, even without eBay.

How did you get it for so cheap though?

They are generally going for about $700 now, its 20gb btw.

Ebay remove PS3 auctions from ebay.co.uk...

Its illegal to buy/sell imported PS3s in the UK.

I bought the PS3 from ebay.com though he was prepared to ship internationally.
