Well some of you might have read my birthday thread.

http://www.rfgeneration.c...um/index.php?topic=7962.0

But now my PS3 is a POS3.  It won't recognize any disc and states that they are corrupted.

Luckily Gamestop took it back and exchanged it.  BUT, I had to get the new PS3 80 gig that doesn't have backwards compatibility, sd slot, pro duo slot, or compact flash slot, and only has 2 usb ports instead of 4.  So basically I got a cheap @$$ version of my original 80 gig MGS4 pack.

They did however give me a 108 gift card for the difference in price.

It just sucks that they don't make the MGS4 version anymore, or even have a backwards compatible one.

That's sad to hear; they really should be able to provide customers with the same version they bought  Undecided

What was the difference with the MGS4 bundle version compared to the others on the market?

Wow, that sucks. Breakdowns like that are the major reason I haven't bought a PS3 or 360 yet.
Maybe you could trade someone your new 80GB PS3 for a used MGS4 version?

Same here. I don't want to pay €400 for a machine that might break down 1 month later. I'll probably get one of the two in a year/year and a half though.

That's a solution indeed, but why would anybody want to trade in their "non-cheap ass" PS3 for one that lacks all the above?

Because this one is new theirs is used. Or he could sweeten the deal with a little extra money, maybe that $108 gift card or some games he doesn't want anymore.

Just a little FYI on the MGS4 PS3 Bundle...

They are actually more prone to breakdowns than other versions. I dunno why exactly, but they are...

Sony has only been removing features from the PS3. The good PS3s are only going to go up in price, not down.
