The one I just picked up is the 2009 regular slim. For a "slim" model it's still a fair size, I'd forgotten how big they were haha. |
My super slim didn't last long at all. Technically it still works fine, and the problem is very miniscule. Basically, anytime the fan kicks into high gear it makes a loud grinding noise. And I can't stress enough that when I say loud, I mean loud as fuck. Like... oh shit, the neighbors are going to call the cops, loud. I tried getting into the console but I don't think I have the tools or the patience.
Keep in mind, this only really happens when the fans rev up all the way, so I can use the console for Netflix and maybe a little bit of gaming, depending on what I'm playing. But since I do have another PS3 phat that's in working condition, I just opt to use that instead for gaming.
Oh, and it's just a 12GB super slim (yes, they did make 12GB PS3s briefly). I remember the day I found out that I couldn't install a 10 GB game because it needs to allocate about twice that amount of space to perform the install. That day has since been known as Christmas.
