1st Generation Playstation 3 60GB (CECHA01) Refurb

1st Generation Playstation 3 60GB (CECHA01) Refurb for $219.99

- PS2 backwards compatable!

This deal is for the quite elusive PS3 1st Generation, which was the only PS3 model to carry the actual EmotionEngine chip used in the original PS2, making it the only 100% PS2 backwards compatible PS3 system. Others use partial hardware or software emulation to achieve PS2 compatibility, but fall short on some games.

How is this a bad deal? This specific model sells for about $400-600 pn ebay because of its specific nature and rarity

@charlesp2009 - if your fan is going so strong all the time you may need some maintenance on it. I've worked on dozens of these at work, and the release models especially can lose their thermal profiling if left too long. You'd need to either hire a tech or open it up yourself, clean out the dust, remove and reapply thermal paste to the heatsinks. Do it sooner than later to avoid a YLOD.

@bbruin66 - some of us enjoy the nostalgia we get from playing older games, and using a higher performance system to play them usually gets better quality out of an old game than using the original box. Having both the PS2 and HD options in one box is a luxury worth an extra $20 I would think. According to ebay and other statistics, it seems that having that luxury is worth several hundred dollars to many people.

This is great. I just picked up a second one for my bedroom. I've been using an old 60gb for quite a few years now that I picked up as a refurb from Tiger Direct and I have no complaints at all. I swapped the hard drive for a 320gb for extra storage. It's taken the place of my BluRay and make a great media center for streaming Netflix, Amazon Video, etc.

@charlesp2009:

Replacing the thermal compound on a PS3 is a lot more time consuming than a PC. Everything's pretty compact in these PS3s, and to get to the cpu and gpu requires you to take out 20 or so screws and literally every single part in it. It took me around 45mins, granted I had NO idea how to take apart a PS3 and had to follow this video series step by step.

I only wish I had the money. I love my slim, but the idea of being able to combine my PS2 and PS3 is too much.

I'm glad I bought a 60GB launch console but that fan is freakin' loud. Nice to have it for the handful of PS2 games I play and the memory card slots are quite convenient. Still, I'm really close to buying a slim just for living room use. My guests complain about the fan noise!

@pyr0ball: Good advice. I clean out the dust regularly but never considered the thermal paste. I trust it's straightforward and easy like a PC?

The fan doesn't run full blast all the time but it's definitely louder than the newer consoles, even at idle.

If it were 3.55 Firmware or below, I would buy one!

@Viroodiem - Pre-Owned is not the same as refurbished by any means. I know, because I run a computer and electronics repair business and fixing these badboys was my bread and butter for a while. The ones at GameStop may have been cleaned out, but they have never had the solder joints reflowed or faulty components replaced. Refurbished (especially from a reseller site like Geeks.com) usually means refurb from the manufacturer, i.e. Sony. That means you're getting a PS3 that wont die in 1-2 years from an already-abused system.

Bottom line: Gamestop Pre-Owned systems are a gamble at best. You never know who had their hands on it before you

Uhhm.

This is NOT that great of a deal. Ebay might have some sellers selling them at 400$ for buy it now price, but on auction they typically go for right about the same, 200 or so.

Thing is I am astounded there are people on Woot, who are so bad at bargain hunting, they would point to ebay, and be completely oblivious that gamestops every day low price on these (yes never a shortage for the level of demand) for 10$ more. at 229.00

So a new PS3 was $199 at gamestop a few weeks ago and this is a deal? Put down the PS2 games and join the world of HD. (Watches my post hit negative numbers)

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
