[quote name='akir']GameStop really sells systems $20 less used? lmao that's a shit deal.[/QUOTE]
Crappy deal no matter how you look at it ($20 off the new price for a used system), you mean to tell me you can't pony up $20 more for a brand new system? Also since the PS3 controllers have built in rechargable batteries that aren't that easily swappable it would do you better to just get yourself a brand new PS3 with a brand new controller as you could be receiving a controller that is close to end-of-life then you would have to spend money to either get the battery replaced or buy a battery for it.
You can save the tax by shopping on Amazon in most states or newegg if you are in NY which is around $20 or nearly $20 on a PS3, thus saving you the $20 you would have saved if you purchased the used system from GS.
Also they sell online-pass games for 47.99 used without the pass, by the time you buy the pass you have saved $2 off the price of a new game. Not to mention a lot of new games can be pre-ordered for 47.99 off newegg or amazon and that includes the online pass.
