Man the fat PS3 is a thing of beauty.

Though it's more reliable, I sometimes regret getting the slim just cos it's comparatively ugly.

Yep, the first ones broke a lot, but by summer of 2008, those things were tanks. Even remember that the first batch of slims, were braking a lot. For sure more than the latest FATs. You can still find many broken slims on reddit, ebay, or youtube, but not many broken latest revisions of the FATs (manufactured from summer 2008 to summer 2009).

Yeah I got my current PS3 second hand in 2016; my brother broke our first one trying to "fix" it, the little bugger. I went to a brick and mortar store to get it and they only had the slim and super slim available; I chose the slim as I always hated how ugly the super slim is.
