Idk but after buying ps3 the disk drive stoped working… I didn’t want to send it back to Sony to get it fixed under warranty (I had already gotten rma box sent to me) because they couldn’t guarantee me I would get the same model of PS3 back lol… so I just bought a gen 2 ps3 which is still working (although I don’t have working controllers as they all stopped working)…

Probably said that because drives are tied to console. They would have just replaced it.
