I was walking into Gamestop yesterday and the regional manager I talk to alot was dealing with some goofy looking dude trying to sell a PS3. I overheard the conversation about he came in previously and they told him to come back yesterday with an actual controller with the system. Apparently the person he dealt with the day before neglected to mention that it had to be an actual Sony brand controller and that they still wouldnt buy the system. He packed up his stuff and walked out. I asked my buddy if he was done with him and he was like yeah, go for it. I followed him into the parking lot and asked what was up. He told me that his friend sold his own PS3 to them a few days previously for $55 and he wanted to do the same. I offered him $50 and he bit. He handed me two bags. The first one had the system, the cables and a trashed black Sony controller. The second one had a brand new green wireless Afterglow controller (even still had the receipt in the bag where he paid $27+ tax for the controller the day before). I brought it home, plugged it in and made sure it powered on. After that, I went and reformatted the whole thing. Took almost a full day but now I have a 250 gig PS3 for the bedroom with a brand new controller to go with it for $50. And the Afterglow controller was one of the 2 I didnt have in my collection anyhow so its a bonus.
Oh yeah, and after I got it, I went back inside and picked up a brand new copy of Thief on the PS4 for $20.
