Frankenstien scam
Just a psa. I looked to purchase a frankenstien from ebay. Found one from a seller with a few sales. Placed the order $600. Received a fat ps3. Backwards compatibility. Seemed ok. Wouldn't turn on. I've had more than a few. I have one currently that has become a display piece as I know its a time bomb. The one I was sent wouldnt turn on. Opened it to find the capacitve switch contacts bent. Bent them back but, I messaged the seller. Upon further inspection I found all the original caps and no frankee.
They were very apologetic and stated it was a mistake and was meant for another buyer. Unmodified. They apologized and offered to send me what I paid for. Two days later the seller unregistered from ebay.
Working with ebay now. I have to wait for the seller to respond before ebay will take action. Going to speak with my credit card company tomorrow. This is just a psa.
There are scams out there. Please be careful. No idea if ill get my money back. Being out 600 is a big deal. I feel very stupid. I should have been more careful. The frankee mod is very in depth and honestly 600 is kind of cheap considering. I should have known better. That being said the fat I was sent was delided and seems to play games with no issue. Its still a loss. And a time bomb. Just kind of ranting and reeling at this point. What pos would do this? The world can be a shitty place. Be safe out there.

I need your advice!
So I need to hear some advice and opinions. I've been playing PS3 ever since it was released. I've loved playing on my PS3 but now I feel like I'm done with the console. And I've realised that the only games I want to play on PS3 exists as remasters on PS4 and PS5. Also, there's way more games on both PS4 & PS5 that I really want to play in general. However, I like things simple. I love physical media and ownership of said media. Would it be a terrible desicion to buy a PS5?

Liquid metal questions
Hello everyone, ive been fixing and working on electronics for years so id call myself experienced. However this is my first time on a ps3. I have a backwards compatible model coming in and i want to do everything possible to keep the console cool.
Ive seen other users here use liquid metal underneath the IHS and above the IHS just normal thermal paste. How exactly would this work and is it even worth doing in the first place? What brand would you buy? Thanks!
