Why should I get this?
Most backwards compatible PS3's fail due to a defective RSX which can only be fixed by replacing the RSX. This service will rid your system of the original 90nm RSX, and replace it with a newer, more reliable, and more efficient RSX sourced from a PS3 Slim. The newer RSX revisions do not suffer from the same defective design as the original RSX, which will greatly improve the reliability of your backwards compatible PS3.
How do I send in my system?
To ensure that your system is safely shipped, it is recommended following the advice listed below:
1. Use a new or like-new corrugated cardboard box rated for the weight of the PS3. Avoid reused or worn boxes unless they’re structurally sound.
2. At Least 2 Inches of Cushioning on All Sides.
• Wrap the PS3 completely with bubble wrap and place it in the center of the box so it doesn’t touch the sides.
• Use bubble wrap, foam, or thick packing paper to fill in any empty space.
• When the box is closed, ensure the system does not move when the box is shaken.
3. Seal Properly
• Use strong packing tape (2-inch wide, preferably H-tape method) on all seams.
• Do not use masking, scotch, or duct tape.
4. Label Clearly
• Avoid placing labels over seams.
• Include your name, contact info and return address inside the box.
