I'll buy a brand new slim for 28K when they release God of War....
But people this PS3 is purely for academic purposes so do offer some good concession.
I have a Rs.20,000 budget which I will reimburse from the CS department LUMS. Anything above that will be from my pocket.
I need the old one as I'll have access to multiports, RSX, SADC, etc. The project aims to explore the uses of the refurbished PS3 as a server ( for maybe multimedia, unicast, multicast, DB....) which should be available as cheap as $100-150 in bulk by then end of 2010.
Im keeping this as a worst case deal:
