Datablitz and Itech sell slim PS3 units for 15,000 to 17,000 pesos. That's roughly $300 to $340 when converted. Unfortunately, you'll only get a few weeks warranty. The warranty doesn't even cover software related issues like bricking, and the red screen of death that some 160GB fat units are getting. I really hope Sony Philippines reconsider selling the unit at a lower price. There are a lot of people willing to buy original games. A lot of them even preferred buying new. I really think releasing the PS3 a lot earlier is a mistake. I'm still grateful that we're finally getting support. My 60GB PS3 got YLOD last year and I haven't bought a new one yet. I'm just borrowing a friend's unit. Releasing it here officially will make me buy a new one.
