Hi!
I'm brazillian and I'm going to the US in february. I want to buy one of the big PS3 so that I can play my PS2 games.
The Big PS3 is still on sale?
If not, is there a place where I can buy one? I'll be in NY, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Would it be good to buy a used one or I should stick with the new?
Thanks in advance.

Note that PS2 compatible PS3s ar eno longer made, it will be very hard to find a new one anywhere in the world! Only certain fat PS3 models were able to play PS2 games, and those were all the early models.

However there are rumours that Sony will release software emulation on all models later this spring. Just have to hope that they do. Apart from that the onyl way to get one which can play PS2 games is most likely on ebay.

Your only choice would be to find new "old" stock online (doubtful) or go to a place like Gamestop, EBGames or Play & Trade to buy either a 20, 60 or early 80gb model ~ but they will only come used and come with I think a 30 day warranty.
