If PS2 BC isn't near and dear to you, just buy a new slim.

They use less power, they run a lot cooler and in the world of electronics, that usually means longer life and higher reliability.

Plus, I wasn't able to go 3-4 weeks without a PS3/BD player. My 60GB refurb is fine after about a year, but in all fairness, it sees even less use than my Xbox 360.

what was the reason you got a refurbed console? 

Dead motherboard. Most likely from thermal breakdown of the solder joints or TIM. It had a lot of hours of runtime on it (well over 5,000 including about 6 months of 24/7 runtime). I kept the console casing dust free, and the area around the console dust free, but over that much time, it still managed to suck in a lot of dust/fiber which made the console run hotter over time. Fan noise became a bit more pronounced, which should have been the tip off.
