I remember all 20 GB model and a 60 GB model from the original launch were. One of the reasons why they were more expensive. I still have one. A 20 GB model, but later upgraded the HDD. I do remember Gamestop and I believe Best Buy too, wanted the original HDD in the slot if I ever sold it to them. Glad I never did.
I'm getting a PS3 for the first time. Tips?

Re: I'm getting a PS3 for the first time. Tips?
The PS3 has been out for 10 years now and the odds of finding a BC model with any life let is sketchy at best. I would just let the games from 1 and 2 go.Is there an easy way to tell which PS3s are fully backwards compatible? I am looking to get one primarily for NCAA FB14, CH2k8, and RDR but would love to be able to play some PS2 games (like NBA Street) and even PS1 games (MGS). I've been looking online on Gamestop (which doesn't seem to have any that are BC) and Amazon which looks to have some but it looks like they're all from independent sellers used.Comment

Yep..
I found out what was wrong with my PS2 I have. The power ribbon cable from the reset/eject buttons is fubar. There's a place up the road that repairs so I'm hoping they are open today and have the ribbon so I can repair it.
If not I may pick up a BC PS3 as the GS in area has one.

Isn't GameStop selling used PS2's again? If you can't repair yours, I believe GS is selling PS2's for $50.Yep..

I have a working PS2 but only use it as a back up DVD player. What games do you still play from the PS2 days?Comment

The ratchet and clank games and the batman arkham games are must haves but we may be getting remastered for the batman arkham games this year.Comment

Yeah online only I believe. The ribbon I need is only 2-3 dollars so I'm just going to order a couple and repair it myself. Sucks though as I wanted to play more this weekend...Joshua:

Made the hop today, went to the local GS to see what they had for used PS3s and they had a 60gb so I grabbed it and the 1 year warranty. Got NCAA Football 14 and Red Dead GOTY Edition...now on the hunt for College Hoops 2k8.Comment
