Wondering where's the best and most reliable place to get a Hardware Backwards compatible PS3 to play PS2 disc games on.

I know eBay is an option but that can potentially be 50/50.

Looking for a place I can get it that week also have a 1-2 year warranty

They're not though, if people know how to service them.

Also I figure this would be the best user friendly way to play all my old PS2 games, along with PS3 games I may have missed out on.

I really just want to be able to play Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 with ease and accuracy on my TV screen mainly

From what I've researched online, the issue has been found to be related to the capacitors so if they're all replaced initially there should be no issues or worry with YLOD

The best place to get one is to find a shop that sells PS2 and PS3s and then buy one of each.

Aside from eBay, any retro game stores around you will be your best bet, long as they you can see the serial.aube even Facebook market?

Pro tip: any ps3 is soft modable and can play ps2 games. I know it's not specifically what you asked for, but it's an option if you can't locate a bc ps3.

Good luck

Oh, just saw you wanted a warranty. that's probably not gonna happen.

That doesn't mean everyone doesn't know how. Tc is likely one of those that's decent at that shit

Common sense says it may not taste good, but it'll make a turd.

If he was gonna service it he wouldn't be asking for a warranty
