Whole lot of console bans went out yesterday for people jail breaking their PS3s. Of course Ebay and other places are being flooded with people trying to sell their banned consoles.
Make sure you can connect to PSN if you buy a used PS3.

Sigh...yet MORE misinformation from someone who read 1 post that started with "PS3 Ban" and didn't keep reading the rest of "from CoD Black Ops servers"
NO console has been banned from the PlayStation Network, ONLY from the CoD servers who aren't run by Sony.

They might not be able to even if they wanted too, in fact the PS3 could be screwed for good according to this article;

Regardless, don't buy a used system. It's a dumb move. If you can't afford the few extra for a new one, you shouldn't be spending your money on this frivolous crap anyway.

Actually I have read quite a bit on the subject matter.
From what I have read people are getting banned from the PSN (console ban) which is more than just the Black Ops servers. Activision is also banning people from Bops on top of that. Jailbreaking a PS3 does more than let you mess with CoD servers.

Actually I know exactly what I'm talking about.
Waninkoko's V1 of his CFW bricked PS3's because it was accessing the lv2, mainly happened on fat PS3's (was tested only on slims, fats have more memory) but also if people didn't go back to the 3.55 OFW on the slims/fats it would happen. A very unstable release. A couple of days ago Wanin brought out a super stable V2 of his CFW, with Hermes PL3 included. Also, if updating to 3.56 from a CFW it has a very high chance of bricking.
Kmeaw came out with a CFW (really a HEN, but with the backup managers loading the l2fix it doesn't matter). There's another fella out there with a firmware similar to Kmeaw but not many people use it
And still as of yet NO ONE has gotten a ban from the PS3 servers for CFW, not a one, look around and you'll find out the only people saying it are complete liars or were cheating on Black Ops and got the kick. Sony can't detect if you're on a CFW, they even stated that in their case against geohot. The retards on the Black Ops servers are cheating, doesn't take much to see when someone is floating through a wall among other crap.
If you buy a PS3, or ANY console second hand without seeing it working you are plain and simple are retard. I've seen too many people selling RROD 360's and PS3 YLOD. Most 360 scam sales use the hairdryer fix (heat it up alot, will work for a few minutes, enough to sell).
Show me a certifiable link where someone got banned by Sony on their console, until then go troll somewhere else.

I wouldn't buy a new ps3, much less a used one. By all means, continue giving out information without actual proof on the matter. It's worked so well for you in the past.

Sony put a rootkit in their 3.56 firmware, they now have access to do anything to your PS3 while it's connected to the PSN. They can brick, delete software, etc off of it. What a pack of dirty bastards.

Nice baiting, but I won't fall for it. I don't play online games except for MMO's and they are so simplistic cheating in an MMO is like beating up the gold medal winner in the special olympics because you got silver. Poor Boone and his silver 
Some people, like myself, have real jobs in the real world, and like myself have children and a spouse. Unfortunately, my job takes me, quite literally, around the world (Avionics systems technician in the military). Add in that I like my games and am limited in the amount I can take with me and it is quickly seen that backups on my HDD are the best way to go.
So now that I can use my backups I can take my PS3 wherever I go with my 13" Hori LCD PS3 monitor and wallpower kit and I'm good to go.
So maybe, just maybe, before you open your mouth to shove your foot in it, do a bit of research then you won't make yourself look even more like a retard.
And Trig, my laptop goes with me also  Those crappy trips that last a month+ you got to be entertained.

None of that explains why you know so much about jailbreaking a PS3, including pending lawsuits and the players involved.
And a lot of the people that post here have children, spouses and careers (including myself). You are not a special snowflake in that regards.

lol you can keep on saying I am baiting or that I am a troll and it will not make it any more true. I read numerous threads on both the PS3 and Blackops forums that people were receiving PSN bans (not just Blackops server bans) for jailbreaking their PS3s. I also read that game stops, craigslist and ebay were seeing a considerable spike in used PS3s after the ban wave. All I did was make a post here warning anyone that if they were to buy a used PS3 to make sure it can connect to the PSN because of what I had read.
I fail to see how that is a troll.
