Hi,
I'm getting a ps3 fat very cheap, its not hacked and firmware is updated. Now my main concern is that I know ps3 Fats are prone to YLOD and it seems everyone is suffering from it.
I know Slim is better and cooler but I'm getting the PS3 fat for almost less than half the price. System is third gen Fat CECHL05, and has both 65nm CPU/GPU. I've also heard that third gen PS3 fat are safer then first/sec gen fat ps3.
Spec are http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/CECHLxx
Please tell me is it worth it or go for the slim. I need a system that can be downgraded and Slim down gradable is too expensive.

Here we use Arctic Silver 5 mostly. Also do your fat takes lot more energy than slim in terms of electricity billing?

i think slim takes around 20-40 watt less than fat... both peak at 250 watt i think..

I know Slim is better and cooler
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Recently updated to PS3 slim 160 GB (60 GB phat still working)
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: DOL-001 model put in a DOL-101 case. Otherwise unmodified. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

It's called the Green Light of Death on the PS3 slim.
