Blue dev playstation PAL

How much for one of these base unit only but working pls?

 

Hello,

would say around 200 dollars.

 

More than that. If it's in good condition, it could easily go for $300 USD.

 

wouldn't the price also depend on the state of the laser as well since the blues are prone to failure?

 

Are the Blue units more expensive than the black ones ? I sold my blue unit for 220 dollars.

 

Thanks for the replies - to clarift I want to know so I can offer a fair price for a unit I'm looking to buy.
I believe black psx is yaroze, blue dev/journo and green debug?

 

I wouldn't say they're more prone to failure than any other PS1. It can always be repaired anyway, fairly inexpensively too.

They used to be a lot cheaper than a Net Yaroze, but the Net Yaroze has dropped in price because a bunch of them appeared on eBay. A year ago I was selling Yaroze's for $400 - $500 USD each, even ones with broken disc drives/lasers, but now you'd be lucky to sell a completely working one for $350.

What model DTL was your blue debug? Was it a DTL-H1102?

Black = Net Yaroze (there's 3 models: DTL-H3000 which is Japanese, DTL-H3001 which is American, and DTL-H3002 which is PAL. They all work exactly the same though, but the Japanese one has Japanese text in the main menu).

Blue = debug (there's too many models to list)

Green = debug (also too many models to list, but an important one is DTL-H1200. You might see people online saying this one is region free like a Net Yaroze, but they're wrong. I've owned no less than 5 of them over the past 3 years or so and they all didn't play PAL games, they only worked with NTSC/J Japanese games. However they might work with NTSC American games too, I wasn't able to test that).

Well if you're buying and it's in good condition, maybe try offering $250 USD + postage costs.

 

I don't remember the exact model but it wasn't reading PAL games, this is why I sold it. Thanks for the details DeChief

 

Blue units are first model/revision PS1 units which are prone to heating and laser issues. At work I would frequently have to flip the damn thing over after a while when working with it. We generally found it more reliable to use a later gen ps1 and goldfinger over it. Green units were made from a later revision of the ps1 board and were much more stable.

Actually checking wiki. I forgot about the other issues blue units had =P (see last paragraph of Variants)

You just put in a BAM laser unit and all issues go away.

It wouldn't change price of unit, you could buy a whole psone and steal the laser and its going to cost you like £15 total
