Where to Find a PS3 Cheap

Due to the economy taking a tumble, and taking me along with it, I need to shop smart and cheap during this troublesome period. I have other consoles, but I've still been eager to get my hands on a Playstation 3, or I should say a cheap playstation 3. Something that has at least 120-250 GB storage, and not much wear and tear (if I buy it used).

When I went to the Amazon site, where I usually find great deals on lots of products (including electric shavers), I found that a PS3 with 120 GB storage was only $249, which is roughly $50 cheaper than buying it brand spanking new. Just as long as it worked and was in good condition, I was good to go.

I also saw a PS3 with the 250 GB storage capacity for $299 (used), which goes for $400 brand new. That's a savings of $100, that's 1/4 of the cost off. Not too bad either. They have a PS3 with the 80 GB, but I'm not going too far backwards here. Besides, it was about $230, and I would be willing to spend just a tab bit more to get a lot more storage space.

I've always been skeptical with Ebay, I've usually had much better results finding things on Amazon, and for some reason I've always had a bit more trust in using Amazon as well. But still, none-the-less, I'm going to venture into Ebay and find PS3's for cheap.

If I were to compare between what I found on Ebay with that of my findings on Amazon, I would probably just stick with Amazon. The prices were about the same, a PS3 with 120 GB storage was going for $250, which if you look at the price I found on Amazon, it's basically the same thing.

I'm going with the PS3 with the 120 GB on Amazon. It's more than enough storage space, and it's a cheap and efficient cost. Usually I would buy this type of thing new, but since my goal is to save money, I'm going this route instead.
