Sony PlayStation 3 250GB Console - Black (Renewed)

The PS3 console arrived formatted, in excellent physical condition and almost no dust whatsoever; It also included the Manufacturer's Warranty seal sticker underneath the console.The controller was DOA. I am a computer tech, so I just ordered a PS3 controller replacement battery off Amazon and replaced the original battery. The controller works great! I didn't expect the original battery to work after about 10-15 years so I just knew it had to be replaced! The controller had some scratches, but it can be overlooked as this PS3 was from 2013 or prior. I knew this because I pulled out what might have been the original Hard Drive, from 2013! The HDD was marked '13.I decided to upgrade to a 250GB SDD, and the PS3 works flawless.Thank you!

I love it

The CD case doesn’t work, you have to move it manually, one of the pieces of the side fell off, the control had drift and ghost buttons, and the system is corrupted, it works at the beginning but when you try to play a game the screen freezes, I tried to restart the system from safe mode to fix the corrupted files but it didn’t work, it even crashes in the playstation store. Don’t buy this.

Has a few scratches which is to be expected. The console itself seems to be working fine, though the HDMI cable that shipped with the console was faulty. All in all I am satisfied with the purchase.

Just what I wanted

The original package was missing a charging cable for the wireless controller. When I reached out to the seller, they sent me two charging cables right away. The system and controller both work great. I had to reset/update the system before first use, but now there are no issues at all.My original review is below:The contents of the package were: A PlayStation 3, one PlayStation wireless controller, one power cable, and one HDMI cable. The package did not contain a charging cable for the wireless controller.When I turned the system on, it displayed the message, "The system was not turned off properly the last time it was used. The file system on the system storage may be corrupted. This system will restart, check the file system and restore it if it is corrupted. If the file system is corrupted, it may take 2 to 3 hours to complete." I have no way to select the option to initiate this process because the wireless controller is out of battery and I was given no way to charge it.

The PS3 Slim I bought in 2010 finally developed the yellow light of death even after a repasting so I decided to opt for the more energy-efficient and lighter-weight PS3 Super Slim.It’s sleek, has a disc tray that isn’t motorized and thus won’t fail, and cools a lot more efficiently than the Slim model. When it comes to running processor-intensive games like GTA V, this PS3 Super Slim with its superior cooling never struggles nearly as much as the Slim model during those trying times.I highly recommend this renewed PS3!

Used it only once for about 35 minutes. Next time went to use it and it beeped but never turned on. One star. But at least I got my money back.
