View Full Version : Calling all ps3 nerds

Long story short, When I bought my tv off of a buddy, he just dropped off a box of things that came with it. Surround sound, receiver, dvd player, maybe 30 cables, some speaker stands, etc etc. Anyways, he also left a ps3. I called him and asked him why he left the ps3 and he said he hadn't played it in over a year, and wasn't even for sure it still worked, so I had what I thought was a broken ps3, ohwell.

Anyways, I just about threw it out this weekend, but I called a buddy and asked him if he would take it and try and get it to turn on, as I had the PS3 only and no cables or controllers for the unit.

Buddy calls me this morning, said he hooked my ps3 into all his cables and has been playing a game all morning.

Sweet, so I have a free ps3.

Problem is, Now I need a power cord, an hdmi core, and 2 controllers right? just a quick search on the internet shows each of the controllers are like 70 bucks, and the cables are probably 10-20 each also. Point I'm trying to make, is I don't want to spend $200 bucks and then find out the machine actually was on its last leg...

Anyone know any cheap places to get those thjings?

After a trip to the barber I think I'm gonna head to a game spot. Dunno if you guys have those they are around indy, but sell used stuff for usually 40-50% off, so hopefully I can get it all ready to go for 50-70 bucks. As far as selling it, sure, don't know what its worth, but pm me an offer although now i'm kinda excited about it.
