WTS 60gig PS3

[otaku]

Any interest in a 60 gig PS3 (still has the emotion engine/chip for games no emulation crap!) system is new and still factory sealed in box. Looking for 550+shipping

Aren't new 60GB PS3's only $499?

Yep, 499.99 shipped on some sites.

$550.00 plus shipping for the 80gb motorstorm combo would sound about right.

Actually, you can still get 60 gig PS3's in stores brand new factory sealed for $499, with NO shipping. Perhaps you should lower your asking price if you really want to sell this.

Why do people always say that (no shipping) but forget the 8% or more sales tax of $40.

Because you can buy it online with no tax and some places offer free shipping.

Sales tax here is 5% in Maryland. But when ever I want to make a big purchase(like my Xbox), I just travel 30 minutes up north to Delaware with NO SALES TAX.

I was quoting someone who said how much it was in the store where you would have to pay tax.

Pay attention please.

I'm looking for a blu ray player mostly, but what do you mean has the emotion engine/chip for games, no emulation crap...

Nate - the 20GB/60GB USA PS3s have the PS2 emotion engine chipset built-in for backwards compatibility. The chipset handles PS2 & PS1 like they're running on an actual PS2. To save manufacturing costs, the newer 80GB PS3 systems have removed the chipset and provide backwards compatibility through software emulation. Emulation is currently around 70% compatibility with older titles. If you ever want to play PS2 & PS1 games on the PS3, better off getting a 60GB model before they're gone. The hard drive is very easy to swap when larger drives become cheap.

But, like everyone has said, the 60GB model is $499 in stores and still available everywhere. You can also get 5 free Blu-Ray movies from a mail-in offer when you buy a new PS3. Not sure when that expires.

Whatever happened with this system? Still for sale and if so, new price?
