It is in your best interest to determine the console's region and revision before making the purchase. This will prevent any unpleasant surprises in the shape of a Chinese version. Below are some advantages: It has the model number CFI-1218A (3rd revision, for South Korea), and I purchased it from the Texnobazaar.ru store. Incredible visuals, no overheating, the quickest loading times of any gaming system, first-rate vibration input from the controller, and enchanted triggers and buttons. (Consoles of the new generation, etc.) One of the negatives is that I had to send an email to the seller in order to find out which country the console was made for. It would be convenient if everyone immediately wrote the model number on the product page so that you wouldn't have to speculate about whether or not the item would be shipped from China.
