I've just had a PS3 that suffered the YLOD, it's currently being repaired in a repair shop that's charging about $100 AUD on it- about 60 pounds I'm guessing?
However I've heard stories that once a PS3 yets YLODed it's better off gone, and make sure it's not going to happen again I may as well get a new one- because I don't want to pay 60 pounds every time it does, and it's a 60GB version which is the most prone to it and also you can't take the disc out through the emergency way.
So I would think that selling it would be the way to go, but what price realistically would I sell it at? I've been browsing around on ebay and at the moment it doesn't look as if you're going to get over 180 pounds for it.
I would like to get at least 50% of a new PS3 value on it (about $250 AUD/ about 170 pounds) but would that be realistic?
This is for a PS3 60GB with all necessary cables, 1 mini-USB cable and with no controller (yes some bastards on ebay sold me fake controllers, I'm not impressed)
Or should I stick with my fixed PS3? Decisions decisions.....
Oh and my currency conversions are purely guesswork. I hope I'm somewhere close.
