    I want a PS1/PS2 with an HDMI jack...
    Ebay is sketchy as usualy, pawnstore and craigslist ones are all broken.

    I'm looking for a backwards compatible Ps3 that has been reballed. Not reflowed, not towel trick fixed, but reballed.

    I'm also interested in one that works and hasn't been opened before.

    Won't it be easier nowadays to just get PS3 FAT/SLIM and CFW it?

    Just get a slim model (first slim model) on 3.55 fw and install CFW on it. Then you can play your ps1/ps2/ps3 games directly from the HDD.

    That means that I would have to copy my ~300 game collection, load them on to the HDD and hope that they all work.

    I would rather stick the disc in and play the game...

    Easier yes but if you're like me you'd want SACD support as well as the onboard PS2 components for backwards compatibility. Software doesn't cut it for me.

    Thanks, but after a few of the comments in this thread I just went and bought a working 20gb model...
