Cracking open the Sony PlayStation 3

PlayStation 3 completely disassembled
I was honestly amazed at how easy the PlayStation 3 was to disassemble. When compared with the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii, the PS3 gave me the least problems. The Wii was the most difficult (I hate Tri-wing screws) and the Xbox 360 was in the middle. Sony seems to have had disassembly in mind when they designed the PS3.

Better to open it than use it?!
I'd much rather my 13 year take it apart and study it than actually play on it! Maybe learn something... 
They would be willing to take a loss on the system for the same reason desk jet printers and cell phones are cheap. It's the consumables - buy more ink, minutes, games... Once you're hooked it's a steady cash stream....
