I bought a new PS3 two years ago for more than MSRP…$400. It was definitely worth having a new system with a first party controller!

I bought a new PS3 a decade ago ago for $100 in preparation for when my original dies, a few years before I really needed to worry about it, but I think it was a Cyber Monday deal so it was cheap (the console prices back then already were reasonable, though). Last console I bought.

Pretty much I would want a PS3 for a similar reason. In my case my blu-ray drive is dying so I need to replace it. (I've already bought a replacement laser and drive mechanism. I just have to take things apart and put it in. Still it would be easier if I just had another PS3.)

I bet that sale is all they needed to turn the Miiverse back on.

I don’t do the mod scene. I like my games as is. Tweaking something to gain enjoyment is fucked up. If you can’t enjoy the game as it was built to be and you need to alter it and break it to enjoy it then it lowers your passion level to me by like, 56 points.

I dug up my wiiu excited to play… turns out if you don’t use it for a while something happens to the memory and its a useless brick.. at least that’s what happens to mine

Edit: and some other ppl

I believe it only affects models that use Micron memory, Samsung/Toshiba are perhaps Ok. Easiest way is to softmod the console which should tell you the manufacturer, and dump/backup to an SD card to be safe.

I hope they copped a fresh copy of Xenoblade Chronicles X to go with it

The ONE game I’d give my right nut to have on the Switch

It really wasn't that great tbh.

Maybe his right nut isn't that great anymore, either. It may be a good swap overall.

The PlayStation portal could be every bit as incredible as the Wii U, but I won't.

I'd buy a brand new Wii U for $300. It's the ultimate Nintendo machine, mainly due to backwards compatibility and easy to mod.

I wonder what store sold it.

You’d be surprised. The meijer (regional Walmart superstore) in my hometown still had the display case overhead banner for the GameCube well into 2015. I am not joking. Every time I walked by for years it cracked me up that no one ever thought to take it down.
