PS3 Fat Models.

So I'm looking on craigslist to try and get a PS3(selling my 360 for it :) ). And I was wondering if the older "fat" models have any major problems, or do they fail more often, etc. If somebody could give me a brief rundown of the different models that would be great. Thanks guys!

Well for the simple fact that there probably maybe all destined to YLOD in the near future. I wouldn't bother.

My fat model ylod 'd after about 3-4 years. Just upgraded to the new 320gb slim. The only thing the fat was good for was back compatability but I dont find myself playing my ps2 games that often. I would advise a slim if you arent massivly bothered about no BC.

PS3 Slim

3. makes less heat and not need to worry as much about better ventalation
4. New consoles have 40nm RSX and 45nm Cell.
