TotallyOz Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 I had given an older version of PS3 to a boy special who is no longer special. So, I needed another one for this trip. I went to Tuk Com yesterday and bought one. They are currently 12,000 baht for the 250G model. I wanted this version as it is smaller than the one I had before and easier for me to carry. A few things about this unit. The PS3 is not unlocked and you can't play copy games. It is an original device and they have not found a way to unlock this successfully yet. I have heard that it is possible to unlock but the first time you go online the unit is then blocked from ever going online again. If you are looking to buy the cheap 100 baht games, the PS3 is not the unit for you. Stores still carry the PS2 which you can get cheap games from. The PS3 is great fun for the BF as he can go online with it and play with friends or strangers. For example, last night he played soccer for hours with people from all over the world in a tournament. The online games do require an account with Sony but that is free. You can also pay to download movies, games, etc similar to ITunes. The games are a bit cheaper than you can buy in Thailand so it might be worth it. The Wii is another option if you want copy games as you can get these for 80-100 baht at Tuk Com. I love the Wii. But, on my last trip we plugged it into the outlet without a converter and it blew. They are very inexpensive and I think better to buy in USA or overseas than Thailand. Quote
