Heck maybe PS3News can get them in bulk at a good price and we could buy them Not 100% sure where PS3News is based (Hopefully U.S.) but I would buy from a reputable site that is based in my home country.
Tell 'em I'll happily test one for the site as well, Boss. I may not be as well known as CJPC, but I can offer them a fair, earnest review if their claims are true.
If we're talking about people to test them, I'll test one. I've got 2 PS3's, Fat & Slim, both on FW 3.41. And Fat still has the emotion engine, so I can test around with PS2 and PS1 games.
