    I mean…if you want cheap, I’d just grab a PS3. Plus, if you make sure you buy the right model, you can easily mod it, and use it as a decent retro gaming machine. Dvd, bluray, cd, plus ps3 library, and if modded a shitton more.

    I’m seeing them on ebay for $70ish. But to be fair, it’s a quick search, and I’m not paying attention to the model number. You’ll have to do your homework.

      It was a budget BluRay player when it came out and it’s still a good budget choice today haha. The PS4 and Xbox One would also work. I see a bunch of them used locally for $100-$150 CAD. Gives a bit more modern experience and game library.

        Just a couple of notes: XB1 can also read CDs while PS4 not, but PS4 has a less bloated UI; both can’t do upscaling.

        they’re all moddable, just some can do full custom firmware, others can only do HEN (like a tethered jailbreak). Sellers usually don’t distinguish tho from my experience.
