Play Station 3 Review
Shipping was good, system works great everything was on point but I did have to buy separate hdmi cables because the ones the system came with are the AV cables and my monitor requires hdmi. Also I did want to add the reasoning for the 4 star review is because the charging USB cord stop working on my controller causing me to purchase a different set of USB charging cables which are great and can now charge the controller with no issues over all I am very pleased with my purchase and definitely recommend it if you miss the old ps3 classics.
