Hello,
I got a original 60gb PS3 at a pawn shop about a year ago now. I noticed when I got it that it had a GameStop refurbished sticker on the bottom and I have been trying to speculate what exactly GameStop would do to refurbish this. I want to assume that they opened it, cleaned it out, and re-applied the thermal paste, seeing how it is a very common problem with these old models. The more I think about it though, it seems like too much effort for GameStop to do on there part. I was just curious if someone could give me some insight because I have always been curious.
Thanks,
Rob
