Better get the PS3 unit from the local Sony stores. It will cost more but you will be covered with 1 year warranty (more expensive by 2 to 3k). Datablitz sells dirt cheap PS3s pero in most cases will not honor your unit's warranty or will give you a hard time before they do repair the unit (based on experiences on another playstation forum) The PS3 is an awesome entertainment system and is tougher than an XBOX 360 but is not free from defects (YLOD, Blu ray malfunction etc...). A good warranty should protect your investment in case anything happens.

The jailbreak thing is really a choice of the buyer but in case you are a gaming person being legit is the way to go. Its the only way to play online... free (to boot) on the PSN. Once you've tried online gaming you will be hooked. I've tried and i never played 2k11 and Super Street Fighter IV offline again.

sony local stores really sell expensive PS3 units.. additional 2-3k for 1 yr warranty (though other stores have warranty too) ? for me, its not worth it. unless you really abuse your PS3, it will not have those known defects. $:-\$

Most shops warranties are limited to repairs by their so called inhouse "technicians". I have not yet encountered a shop that has replaced a defective unit with a brand new one. This is the risk of importing sa HK or US, the sellers themselves are not covered by warranties and will not be able to return these lemon units to Sony. LIkewise, majority of these local shops do not have competent technicians that could handle your PS3. Repair of the PS3 normally is done via reflowing or reballing and only a handful of technicians can do this in Manila.

I guess bottomline is if you are on a tight budget and is seriously considering buying from DB or shops in GH, ensure that you talk to the store and make it clear about the warranty.

Well, I asked this question before, as far as I can remember, it plays Region A for BDs.... and since it's an Asian version, it plays Region 3 for DVDs.

Hi... yes, you can upgrade your HDD later on if you want. I have a 160gb and plan to upgrade to 500gb soon. Madali lang daw but since I have enough space pa naman, I'm still ok with the 160gb. PS3 US and ASIAN version are the same in terms of games since games are region-free. If US version, it can only read R1 DVDs... if ASIAN version, R3 DVDs. Plus the controls are a little different, the X and O. It's better to purchase here for the warranty. The package usually comes with one controller only, so you can buy another one nalang here if needed.

Hope this helps.

Sir, if I may suggest, don't have it unlocked to play "ehem" games... mas maganda kung may online experience plus you can download add-ons with the games (disc-based) you'll purchase. You can go naman for 2nd hand games, marami nagbebenta sa marketplace or some other websites.
