I ran into this console that is being sold new for $229 at a store close to me. It is a console made for the Japan region and as such can play games from anywhere in the world (not just North American games) and comes with a 320 GB HDD. What is the firmware it would come with? This firmware is below 3.55, correct?

EDIT: Please post Island_Time

Just because its a downgradeable cech doesnt mean it will be on 3.55
I dont think that model was on 3.55 when it came out the factory. The stores probably get the ps3 with the latest firmware.Or one firmware early

Did CECH-2500A come with less than 3.55 when it came out of the factory? The box says (C) March 2010.

You said march 2010, double check that.If its right you should be able to downgrade.

Ok. One more question. I'm also being offered two 3.55 consoles for sale. Both of them are broken though - one is suffering from YLOD, and the other from video problems. Both of them are being sold to me for $40. They are (I believe 40GB PHAT consoles). Is this a fair price for them? Is there room for profit on these (as in, I could keep one sell the other)?

I would just go ahead and buy the slim for $229 , if the box says march 2010.
And I would not buy those broken ps3s if I were you, probably wont get that much more for them so its not worth the time.
Depends on what video problems, if its easy to fix.. you should probably check that.
