Why not just save up money, and go buy an old PS3 from a Pawn Store. Go in, ask for their oldest PS3 they have in stock, and make them check the firmware before you purchase. It's what I did at Gamestop. I told them I wanted a 3.55 system so I could back up games. :lol:

That's because the guys that worked there were cool as fuck.

:lol: I did the same thing at gamestop, asked for the oldest PS3 they had in stock. It was a slim on 3.41. One of the best purchases I've made :y:
