FVKA#@$@# I am pissed off! I tried to buy another PS3 this weekend (60gb) and can't farkin find one anywhere. this is bullshit.

for $959 you got:

4usb ports

card readers

PS2 compatibility

extra controller ($80)

2 games ($90 each)

60gb hd

now for $700 you get

2 usb ports

no card reader

no ps3 compatibility

no extra controller

no games

40gb HD

is that worth the $260 saving? no fking way. the games and controller are worth the $260 straight away. Then add PS2 compatibility, bigger HD and card reader and you realise what good value the 60gb PS3 was.

so the question goes out, does anyone know a store that has a 60gb PS3 in stock?!?! please help!!!

I didnt realise the 60gb model was so rare. Im glad I have mine. Not a bad deal when you add up what you actually get out of it. Ill check over at EB today on my lunch break and see if they have any in stock.

Went over at lunch and they didnt have any in stock either....

dual shock controller will be kick ass. it's a shame they didn't have one from the begining. question though, will current games be compatible with it?

When it first came out, sony lost the contract with rumble pack or something. Thats why it didn't have it.

The myers dude told me when ps3 came out. Cause i was like :S lite control!

yeah not many on ebay, if you can find one in a store (which I doubt) they are $999. recently they were $959 inc 2 games and an extra controller. that was the time to buy, but sadly those days are over, and it seems that we will be without the 60gb model for a while to come.

is there any issues with buying an 80gig HK version?

any solid info on whether there is any issues with playing games or online?

there's some on ebay for about $720 delivered with extra controller and game and they are saying 2days delivery also.

the only problem with buying an OS model is:

can't play aussie dvds and most likely BDs in the future

can't play aussie ps2 games

that's about it.

no problem (for now) playing aussie PS3 games. and no problem using it on-line either.

Anyone got their player there?

Just curious where PS3 are being made these days.

China?

or Japan?

My ps2. First model out, got it for about 1099, extra controller + 2 games lol.

So long ago.

Made in Japan, was gonna switch slimline but china.

So no point.

most PS3 are made in china. pretty much only the japanese retailed ones are made in japan. I bought mine in november last year in japan and it was made in japan, but the aussie ones are made in china.

yes, I still have my first gen PS2 too, made in china cost me $900 back in the day! ouch!

It was dropped because sony were too pig headed to pay immersion for use of rumble technology.

But sony's official spin was that the six-axis wouldn't function with rumble at the same time, and that rumble was a "last gen" feature.

Now they have 180'd and are releasing the dual shock 3.

i bought mine from japan cost me like $900 inc shipping (also inc 2 games), atm blue-ray dvd are region free.

works good for me though cuz i can finally play all my option videos and stuff :nyaanyaa:

My 60g is sitting pretty :nyaanyaa:

Anyone in aus able to change over the HDD yet, not that i need it but it would be good to know

2 ways to change the HDD, one buy a laptop HDD and its a direct swap to the one in the ps3 or else you can buy a cable which allows you to use a normal HDD

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
