Need advice on buying a console

[Head of Desserts]

My Ps3 120gb Slim is no longer working.

What should I do, here are my options

- Send it to Sony for repair ($80)
- Buy one off Craigslist (ugh)
- Go to a pawnshop, some sell the first-gen model for $99 with a 30 day warranty
- Buy used from Amazon, Ebay, etc for like $160+
- Wait till Black Friday (but at the very best, won't it still be $200?)

Well how long can you go without it?

I was in the same boat and I planned on waiting until the next price drop.  The only reason I ended up on Craigslist was because I found a crazy good deal I couldn't pass up.  Unless you are in a huge rush, I would recommend going the same route.

I'd say... Just enjoy your other consoles and wait for more price drops. In the next few years, they'll be less than $100 new.
