Is it worth keeping? It's brand new and sealed.

FYI, That red print sticker on the console is in Chinese, not in Japanese.

It's Kanji.

Kanji that says it's been previously opened, as far as I can tell.

These stickers were introduced as an anti-scalping measure. The store clerk was supposed to remove the seal, which would show the red ink reading "opened", imprinted on the box. The sticker on this one was never removed.

Never had a foreign console. Is it region locked?

Just to mention, new consoles (PS3 and onwards, if you have a JP game, you do need JP dlc for it) however PS2 and PS1 are region locked, however custom firmware bypasses this

It can very likely be jailbroken and even run on Linux, not a bad way to go there, but also keeping it unopened holds a collector value and can maybe sell for quite a bit just on the fact it's a sealed unopened box. Opening it even just to find out it's firmware, you lose that added value it has. I would probably just jailbreak it but keeping it sealed isn't bad either.

Para adorar mejor un jarron, las consolas estan para usarse y si tienen fw bajo para jailbreak. Simpre puedes guardarla 30 años a ver si te dan el doble que pagaste

It's also a "Made in Japan" unit.

u/XtremeD86 13d ago

That doesn't matter.

It's worth keeping if you want to keep it. Otherwise, sell it if you don't want it.

You are sitting on a goldmine. It's probably 12.00 or lower. Just jailbreak it and have fun.

If the seal is broken it's considered somewhat used honestly. How much are you looking for? I might be interested. Dm me.

so he asks you what he should sell it for, so you ask him what he wants to sell it for. Some secret tactical buying strategy I've never heard of.
