If he still has it in a few weeks or a month, I will consider buying it.
My Japanese 60GB PS3 and my US PS2 both crapped out last month!!! I have a Japanese PS2, but no US PS2 or ANY PS3 now... so, this would work out well for me.
In fact, if he'll consider holding it for a few weeks, I'll say there is a 90% chance I'd go for it if the shipping is still $20 to Canada. I've got to add some money to my paypal account.
