If you're out the house and your stuff is still at your parents' place and you haven't made an effort to emphasize which stuff needs kept... You shouldn't have left it at your parents' house.6

Out doing a little Christmas shopping today but I allowed myself a stop at Value Village. There was a pretty long shelf of games but nothing I wanted to pull the trigger on and their prices have gone up recently. I checked the showcase on the way out and saw a fat PS3 for $40 CAD. Took a closer look and saw that it had 4 USB ports across the front. I asked to see it and it looked like it had been treated well and warranty seal was intact. Plugged it in and it seemed to power up fine, with no yellow light issue.

Brought it home and it is 100% working. I played a PS2 disc game on a PS3 for my first time. CECHA01 model. I'll probably see if any of the people that have helped me with repairs are interested in going in and replacing the paste, then I plan on upgrading the HD and modding it to be my PS 1-3 machine. Merry Xmas to me.

Now it means I have to sell the 2 other PS3s I had been sitting on thinking I'd mod one eventually.

Nice find! I'd love to spot a PS2 compatible PS3 one day.
