Hey chums. My PS3 (fat) has started to stick when reading in and ejecting DVD's - works fine with Blu Rays though Confused It also overheats occasionally if you play a game / dvd for too long (doesn't cut out, just the bloody noisy fans kick in).

Anyhoo, as I use it pretty much every day for watching films on I've decided to replace it with a new slim one, which I have just ordered.

Anyone got any idea how much you can get for working (ish) PS3 and where is best to sell it? Obviously eBay, but is there anywhere I'll get more money for it and not have to pay a fortune in fees?

Can I interest anyone out there in it? (no guarantees it won't give up the ghost within a week of you having it though! Laughing )

Hmm...well the lowest I was planning to take was a bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes and half a can of coke. Would you be able to come to some sort of time-share arrangement between the two of you?

Thanks, but I'm assuming that's just for working ones?

It would be my luck that the first disc they tried would jam and they would chase me out of the store with pitchforks!

I hate you both. Laughing


Thanks Hex. Trying to talk an idiot mate of mine into taking it into Gamestation for me. If they just test it with a game and/or Bluray it'll be fine but I can just picture them having a stack of DVDs to try if I bring it in.
