Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) Slim (160 GB HDD, Model No. CECH-3001A) in GREAT working condition! Appears to have almost never been used. Cosmetically in very good shape. These were produced in 2012. The 3001A is considered by some to be one of the most reliable PS3 consoles to own with none of the issues that can affect older models.
Internal components (fan, power supply, optical drive) have been thoroughly checked, tested, cleaned & sanitized. New thermal paste has been applied to the CPU and GPU. Housing/shell and air vents have been cleaned/sanitized, inside and out. System runs cool. Whisper quiet fan even under heavy loads.
Console HDD has HFW (Hybrid Firmware) installed for 4.90 OS which allows for dozens of features such as dynamic fan control, complete HDD/file management, customizable themes, backwards compatibility options, and ability to play/save/copy backups of your PS1 / PS2 / PS3 games. Games can saved to the HDD. Has all the basic programs and apps pre-installed to get you started right out of the box. USB Drive or console’s Internet Browser can be used to download and install additional functionalities as needed.
Console already has several PS3 games from my collection on the HDD ready to play (can be easily removed if desired). **If there is a game you are just dying to play, shoot us a note. We own lots of games, we can probably find a way to include it for you.**
List of PS3 Games Ready-To-Play on the HDD:
Red Dead Redemption.
LittleBigPlanet 3
NCAA Football 14 Revamped (V21 and Up-To-Date Player Roster).
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Def Jam: ICON.
Minecraft: Playstation 3 Edition.
Fallout New Vegas (Ultimate Edition)
The console also functions normally and can do all the regular things like playing your PS3 game discs, media & video streaming, photo editing & storage, etc…
Playing online is at your own risk: Make sure to learn about how to play online safely and minimize your risk using the HFW tools. **Any automatic updates should remain toggled to ‘off’ indefinitely. Even if the console prompts you to update, do not update the system software.**
We are currently working on creating a short instruction sheet, however everything you need to know about the PS3’s HFW is available online and on YouTube. A quick Google search will bring up hundreds of videos and other results that will show you anything you want to know about saving/playing/copying your games, utilizing the many different apps, updating themes, playing online, etc…
