    Well if you live in dublin. No point getting 2nd hand ps3's in gamestop. I was in town goin to 3 gamestop and only one had one available used ps3 (160 gig) and its just the same price as getting a new one.

    Rather than start a new thread, is the advise above still relevant? I am looking into getting a PS3 for the kids, younger ones keep taken the older lads Xbox to play minecraft. No point in getting another Xbox 360, So I was thinking about getting a PS3 and setting it up elsewhere for the kids.

    I am concerned about buying second hand, prices I have seen I don't know if they would be near the mark, seen between €90 - €150. Is there anything, apart from seeing it work, that I should be looking for?

    I know zero about consoles.

    Just make sure you get a slim model ,as new as possible ,with good controllers (not rubber worn off thumbsticks type) . You should be good to go for about €100 with 2 pads and some games from Adverts.

    example,

    This is not my console...its an example;)
