Is there anything note-worthy about issues with the old ps3?

Also, is there a hardware difference between the slim and original?

 

Other than the fact that you got yourself a ticking time bomb for YLOD and some minor design differences - not really.

how bad can it possibly be?

I still have a launch model ps3 which was used a lot over the past 10 years, it's completely perfect to this day.

Which model did you get? there is a lot of variations of the original phat PS3, can the front panel open up on the left side? does it have the card reader I mean, if so is it PS2 compatible? Just in case you didn't know every model of PS3 is PS1 compatible and also changing the HDD is absolutely simple, it's just a laptop drive in the side of the console, takes a matter of minutes to do if you are PC savvy.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

No idea what type of ps3 it is. I just know it's fat as hell.

Unfortunately it's a bit glossy and scratched up, but thankfully nothing too big to damage it. Besides that it worked perfectly fine. Tested WWE on it and ran without too much noise for 40 minutes.

If you like Zelda, get Darksiders 1+2. It's like an adult version of Zelda and the soundtrack is amazing.

If you like 2D platformers and you want something new and refreshing, get Puppeteer. It's one of the best games from last gen.

If you like crazy twisted stuff with a lot of humour in one of the most creative toy's from last gen, get Shadows of the Damned. It's a Suda 51 game.

If you like Mario Kart get LittleBigplanet Karting. Some people prefer Modnation, but LBP had more variety with arena combat levels and more.

I would recommend more games, but a handful to get you started I thought.

JEEZ! That's a lot of games! How much oral sex did you have to perform!?!

I just assume it was oral sex. That's what the thread title implies. Forgive me if I was wrong about the oral sex.
