i have a launch 60GB *** model and it still runs fine, i have played it less these last few years but it seems ok. however, it does crash everytime i play uncharted when i am running away towards the camera from those zombie type things. uncharted 2 also makes my ps3 work really hard. A few things you should know about electronics is that it is completely random. the older PS3 are bigger and clunkier so the cooling fans probably wont work as well as newer models, just make sure to keep your ps3 in areas where there is ventillation. I remember alot of PS3's were overheating in gaming expos because the cabinets didnt allow enough ventillation. you also have to rememver that fat PS3 gamers kept there ps3 on alot because of linux/folding. so some fat ps3's are no good. its 4 yrs old so its a ticking timebomb, but i guess thats the same for any machine. just googled the gunmetal ps3 whilst typing this message, go and get that. you americans are lucky. i thought it was only a limited thing n japan. there is no design flaw of fatPS3, just some unlucky users or maybe they just dont take care of it enough, anyway just take good care of it. disc based consoles wear out the lens so dont be surprised that it will stop working one day.It seems like the bigger models would offer better cooling. I wonder if those getting YLOD are running their PS3s for hours on end. I don't usually do that for anything so assuming I used a fat model for a reasonable time and kept it in a cool environment.. could it potentially last as long as a slim? That's all I need to know.
