I've been looking into buying a PS3 and found this website http://alldigitalpro.com/index.php?cPath=55 there is a 40gb PS3 for $183.00! Naturally I was curious on why it was so cheap so I emailed them and they replied
"Dear Customer,
All the products listed on our website are genuine, brand new, factory sealed, have manufacturer warranty and come with all standard accessories identically packaged like a regular retail product in the stores.For orders over 500 usd the shipping is free of charge and it takes three days.
Thank you for using our services
Nicholas Heller
Customer Service"
Should I have any concerns about buying this? I can't make sense of his pricing. He has a 20gb priced for $449 http://alldigitalpro.com/product_info.ph...roducts_id=7830
Why would this be?
Please provide any insight you might have.

20gb and 60gb are ps2 backward compatible, and they are too good to be true at that price if u ask me... 40GB MSRP is 369.99 and 80GB is 399.99, 20gb and 60gb are out of production a long time ago, you will NOT find a new one in retail ANYWHERE (exception of refurbished, but even those are rare) so my guess is that this site is a scam... try looking around and see if anybody shopped from them before and actually got their stuff

This site is a scam. Do not buy from this site.
Let me explain:
The site is registered under "Kingston Smith" who supposedly owns about 91 other domains. The site suggests it is based in Appleton, Wisconsin, but all of the other addresses are located in L.A., California (thanks to domain tools for this info).
I also did some IP address searching, and the server IP was located in Krung Thep, Bangkok. So, yeah.. I would stay away from this site.

And the guy's email is kingstonsmith@hushmail.com hushmail.com are as it sounds keeps the user's data private, which most likely also mean it'll be harder to find where the guy really is.

So if you're thinking about buying from that site, your best bet would be to click that pretty X up in the top right corner of your screen =)

I guess the old saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" holds true.
I really appreciate it guys!

Just Googled them... sure enough, it's a scam. Then for the heck of it I checked them out. First off, they'll only let you checkout with a minumum order of $500. Second, they only accept Western Union Wired payments.
