Dear renaes664,

Hello Renae ******,
I received the package in the mail and was disappointed by a couple of very glaring facts. The first was that the box had a huge gash in it. I have pictures of this before opening the package and the corners were dented since you used the original box for shipping, which is not standard practice for expensive items. A separate box is definitely used to protect the integrity of the item inside. Second, your ebay auction states "reads blue ray dvd and games, had no problems really no blemishs (sic)". Unfortunately, that is not the case. The small door for the PS3 card reader is absolutely broken and since it was packed in paper and was shut, this was obviously done before the item reached me. Thirdly, the drive begins to read games fine, but if I try to exit a game, it hangs and freezes. This is definitely broken. You can see I am honest, looking at my feedback. Please reply via ebay. Thanks Renae!

Dear renaes664,

One more thing, both controllers have the top nub removed. This should have been stated in the auction as well. I am not complaining about the small scratches at the top. Those are fine. The actual laser reading mechanism is freezing. I have not updated or done anything but test a game (still on firmware 2.42 and lots of great music to boot;). Thanks. Sorry. I am not prone to complain, but this is glaringly not what the item description said.
Sincerely,
Brandt Zeigler

Dear renaes664,

Hey Renae,
I also just tried Kill Bill 2, the BluRay disc. It is not reading it at all. Definitely not working. Sorry for the third message. My neighbor came upstairs and said if it is the Bluray player it won't read the disc and we tried his disc. No go. So this is definitely not a working machine. Thanks in advance for anything you can do about this!
Sincerely,
Brandt Zeigler

@TheTherockrocks No offense taken. I am not Mr. Giga. I am a teacher, however.

The Better Business Bureau is handling my other PS3's case.

Actually, there are two PS3s in the video. The first PS3 was a 3.01 update and the disc drive died when I inserted a game in it. I bought a new one which was still on firmware 2.43 and it never loaded. The woman gave me my money back via PayPal, but I think these videos being posted definitely helped the situation. I posted them a day after I received the package.
