I don't know about other places but, in here, when i bought a PS3 3 year ago, they "broke" the chip and by doing that i was able to install every game i wanted on it. But this way you can't play them online of course, since i had a PC already i didn't really care about it, they gave me a HDD full of games (350 games i guess) for 40$ too, if you don't plan on playing online you might think about this.
