I personally don't think it matters. But, if you could have new, why would you pick refurbished (used)?

PS3's have an incredibly low failure rate. I was unfortunate enough to receive a dead on arrival unit, but hey, shit happens. I exchanged it no problem. Somebody somewhere will eventually get my unit all fixed up as a refurb. Whatever was wrong with it is now fixed, and I wouldn't worry about that particular problem happening again.

If however they were to offer you instead a new 40 or 80GB or a refurb 60GB, I'd suggest the refurb 60 no questions asked.
