So I decided that rather than waste time and possibly screw things up by replacing my PS3 drive myself (and have it cost ~$90), or pay someone else $150 to fix it (Sony and a local shop both charged the same), I'm gonna sell it for about $250, which is actually what it would be worth given its current state. After I do, I'll just buy a brand new one, as I'd much rather just get a new and better-made PS3 for the same price as I would pay to get it repaired and whatnot, plus have a warranty and all that jazz. I listed it on Craigslist for both Provo and Salt Lake City, the two major cities in my area, and also on KSL, which is a Utah-only classifieds website. I even said I'd throw in an extra controller in my ad (I got an extra Sixaxis for free due to an error on Amazon's part 
).
So far, I've gotten 5 emails about it. One was actually a legit buyer, and I was gonna go down and do the sale today, but then at the last minute he called me and said he did his budget wrong and couldn't buy it for another month or so. Fuck. The other 4 were a bunch of goddamned scammers who wanted me to mail it out of state, claiming they'd add $100 onto the price for my trouble. Ha. Haha. Funny.
