i just did a light wetsanding just to rough up the surface so the new paint has something to adhere to. just used simple 2000 grit sandpaper. and yeah.. those paint are in small 100ml cans and you can find em at hobby shops.

But how did you keep from painting over the PS3 logo?

Pop it out when he did the paint job, pop it back in afterward.

Ah, I didn't realize it was actually a separate piece.

You two are talking about the chrome "PLAYSTATION 3" written across the top of the console, and not the small "PS" logo just above the bluray slot right?

What model is yours? I wanted to try and snag a MGS4 limited edition bundle before I found out that it is $100 more than the upcoming MGS4 80GB bundle, and it's only a 40GB PS3.

wtf, are you serious???

Link to Limited Edition Bundle

Yup. $599 gets you a gray 40GB PS3 with matching gray DS3 and a copy of MGS4 LE. Why the hell would you want this over the $499 80GB DS3 + MSG4 bundle? I'm flabbergasted.

I could be wrong, but if I recall correctly, the LE includes both a sixaxis and a DS3.

That was my question as well. At the PS3 forums, he said "the letters are just plastic chrome stickers. i removed em carefully with a hobby knife."
