I plan on buying a ps3 soon and couldn't decide which to get. 60 gb ps3 (219.99) or 120 gb ps3 slim (199.99) I really want a 60 gb so I can play the tons of ps2 games I never got a chance to play( kingdom hearts 1&2, dragon quest 8, jak 1-3, ratchet and clank 1- deadlocked, the naruto games and more.) Think of every good ps2 game and you bet I never played it. But then I heard 60 gb ps3's get the YLOD and I really don't want that. I also heard that they have problems playing modern games.(
Unless you're a collector and want the OG ps3 avoid it they're more prone to breaking down, I bought my OG from a buddy about two years ago and she's still running like an old F-150 STRONG.

It is said they are more prone because the CPU and GPU run a lot hotter than the newer. Anyway it is just about luck and the way the owner have been using it, like having pace for ventilation and so on. Anyway i would go with a brand-new one. I recently got a 320gb models and it runs great. You can't hear any louder high pitch noise like some of the 120gb systems.
Get the slim. You say you want to play PS2 games, but you won't do it enough. I just bought a slim after having my fatty die and I could care less about PS2 games. My favorite PS2 games are being made (or are already done) into PS3 games anyway.
Yeah get the slim , it's cuter(but bad a$$ at the same time:P) , smaller so it fits almost everywhere and it's eco friendly( or something like that:)) And as for PS2 games , you can play those on your ps2 , my cousin has his PSone PS2 and PS3 consoles all on the same TV(don't ask me how he does it:))
the 160 gb is $199 I havnt even seen the 120 gb anywere in a long time, but anyway buy a new one, 160gb or 320gb you dont want to buy a used one then get YLOD
It all depends on how the used system was taken care of. I still have my 60 gig system that's running 24/7 without a problem other than some software glitches in some games.
