Who ever had it before really didn't take care of it. There was tons of scratch's on in but it still suprisingly worked.I opened it up to clean it out and replace the thermal paste and the whole inside was covered in dust! I'm surprised it didn't over heat!If you're buying one of these it's a bit of a gamble, the slim and super slim model are more reliable and don't usually get the Yellow light of death, but be aware that the thermal paste needs to be replaced in it for it to not over heat, I'm not saying it will but the fat models are about 10 years old so keep that in mind when buying.If you know what your doing like me I would say go ahead and buy one, mine is working great after cleaning it and some new thermal paste but as I said you might get one with the YLOD and there's ways to fix it but its usually only temporary.*UPDATE* I wanted to say it's been working very well! I replaced the 80gb hard drive with a 120gb hard drive for more storage.

Bought this ps3 cause every other one that was bran new was just to high for my price rang so i just went ahead and bought a used on. Not like a new one, shows some signs of use like some small scratches but that's not to much of a problem for me. I haven't fully used the system yet cause it didn't come with a remote that`s the only thing i didn't like about this order if they would have added in a remote i would have been much more happier. So i had to order a remote and wait a few more days before i can play the ps3. But other then that it came with power cable and video cable. when i get my remote and try it out ill add to this review. They packed it up well with bobble rapdidn't think i would ever get it unwrapped had to fine a sharper knife.Updated ReviewWell i used the PS3 for about two month i finished playing a game one day and went to put in a disk bam it shut off and i got the ylod. I have yet tried to fix it thinking about sending it on back to the seller and just getting my money back and just save it up to get a brand new one. I like the fat version of the ps3 a little better then the new slim ones why i don't know just do.

The PlayStation 3 40GB is a very good console. I would highly reccomand it to anyone in need for a cheap, fully-functional PlayStation 3. I had purchased this for $200.00, and have not regretted it since. It features a user-replaceable hard-drive, bult-in Wi-Fi, touch-sensitive buttons (which are a bit annoying, I must admit), and full PlayStation Backwards compatibilty (Original Only). Also, It has an HDMI port and 2 USB ports, but no memory card slots. As well, this is a fatty version of it, so please be aware of the dust it collects, because it can be a little alarming at times. It is lightweight, and much lighter than the 60GB, and does not overheat as much. The finish in front of the disc tray is not chrome, but more of a dark silver scheme, in which the "Spider-Man" writing is done in as well. It also has a built in ethernet and a digital sound port for attatching stereo speakers. Also, the power supply is internal, so there is not huge brick, unlike the XBOX 360. It just uses a standard computer plug, commonly found on most desktop computers. As well, you can use any set of PlayStation AV cables, so you can use them if you have a PlayStation 2 or Original. It also features a built-in web-browser, in which is one of my favorite features. It can also read Blu-Rays, DVD's, CD's, Original PlayStation games, and of course, PlayStation 3 games. Also, there is a very useful BlueTooth connection, on which is very solid and never disconnects, unlike the XBOX 360's 2.4GHz connection, in which in my opinion, is not very good. It will detect any BlueTooth devices, so it does not have to be marked with the SONY logo. With all of this being said, this model of the PlayStation 3 is very good, and for the price, it's one of the best on the market.

First let me say that my previous console system is an xbox (the original one). I've never owned another playstation before this one... so i'm not a sony fanboy. I actually argues against the PS3 with a friend for months because I was simply not a fan of Sony products and figures this was just another over-priced, under impressive peice of.... well, you get what I mean.The Playstation 3 (PS3), while more expesive than other consoles is actually the best value of them all... let me explain.INTENET ACCESS:The PS3 includes a built-in wifi adapter. For the Wii and the XBox 360 you must purchase a wifi adapter as an add-on. Online gaming via the Playstation Network (PSN) is included with the PS3 for free. With the XBox you must purchase a subscription to the xbox live service. I think the Wii also includes free access, but I'm not certain of that.HIGH DEFINITION VIDEOS:The PS3 includes a built in blue-ray disc player (stand-alone blue-ray players *start* at about $300 for the cheapest models). The xbox 360 does have HD-DVD available as an addon, but that's going to cost you another $200. Th Wii does not have an option for High-Definition movies.STREAMING MEDIA:I'm not too familiar with the abilities of the 360 to stream media, I think the 360 and PS3 are actually fairly similar on this point.GAMING:This is where you're going to get into varying opinions... I'm not going to get too much into this except to say that all 3 new consoles have their strengths and weaknesses... but they're all great game machines... so for me, the gaming decision came down to the systems that had the type of games I like to play (PS3 and 360) and the TOTAL cost of the system. That pointed me directly to the PS3.I hope this helps someone and thanks for reading.
