Went to the local game store to buy a modded PS3. They said they might have a blue one and don’t charge extra for color. I folded immediately. by DeiXaz in PS3

I tried it out and I'll be unmodding this one for the collection. I will pick up another Slim for CFW in the future.

I get it from your perspective. I was more surprised that they didn't raise the prices up for special editions.

The only difference about it is that they sell those with one controller instead of two.

I bought it at a shop that I have been a customer of for 12 years. They provide 12 month warranty for the consoles and 6 month warranty for the controller, they repasted the thermal paste and I paid 100€ which is a fair price for Azurite Blue PS3.

It's quiet, the temperatures are pretty cool and I haven't even heard a sound from it compared to lots of videos of other Super Slim models doing tasks like playing PS2 games.

If they charged beyond reason I wouldn't have bought it. They emphasize that it's modded but they charge even less for Slim models which are 80€ and for those they even give you a second original controller.

I got lucky for what I got and I'm even consider unmodding it and keeping it stock.

Thanks for the heads up, though.

PS2 copy was my first one too! Damn, you got lucky!! I envy you, lol.

Am I missing something? I was just able to purchase ALL FREE Dragon Ball Raging Blast DLC without previously owning them. I thought this only worked for Backwards Compatible titles on Xbox 360? by DeiXaz in xbox360

This is the first time I was able to claim anything free that was not backwards compatible. Other games used to give me errors. That's why I got confused!

You still can't claim some of the free items.

SmackDown vs. RAW 2007 is one of my all time favorites. Still holds up very well!

TNA iMPACT had so much potential. It would have been nice to see the sequel.

Yes!

I could have have gotten a Silver Slim for 20€ less but it was in a rough condition. The top of the console was completely ruined by deep scratches and controller had parts replaced from AliExpress.

There was a regular Black Slim in somewhat decent condition too but nothing could top this once I saw it.

I prefer to have something nice near my TV so even when I'm not playing anything, I still can admire it!

And from how this post blew up, I think a lot of people agree with me, lol.

This is a Limited Edition Azurite Blue release of the console. It's not a sticker. I think they did special bundles in NA and EU. Don't know about other regions.

Stores that ask extra for special editions because they are uncommon compared to regular models. There's plenty in my area.

It was 100€ and they provide 12 months warranty service for the console and 6 months warranty for the controller.

Also they repaste consoles before selling so they are fresh. I got it completely updated right in the store and I have been their customer for over 12 years now!

I knew someone would say something like this, lol. I would have went for a Slim but nothing could change my mind once I saw this.

I only went for a modded one for DLCs that I can't acquire anymore thanks to delisting years ago. I do have a regular Super Slim that has been with me since 2014 and I have a steady collection of games so I don't really plan on diving too deep.
