SO guys, I've been looking around for a decent second hand ps3 for quite a while now, and I THINK i may have stumbled upon a good deal.
A guy I know (not the smartest guy around, as I assume from the price) is selling his ps3 for $50 buckeroos. But its not just any PS3, its one of the oldies that plays PS2 games (dunno exactly which one of those ATM but I don't care much for wifi.) The only thing is that the disc laser is broken. If any of you have tried to replace a laser/entire disc drive, how hard is it? Is this a good deal for a PS3? Am I better off buying an entire drive, or just the laser? I'm not afraid to fiddle around with its guts, so I'm not a total noob in that area.
I assume the purchase of the laser/drive would add at least another 60 AUD to the price, but it is still a lot less than a new ps3. And the PS2 capable ones are more rare right?
Thanks for any help I can get
