Nah a 120gb slim. It was in really good condition, I owned it from brand new, and always looked after it well, like I said.Fat PS3? If you don't want to spent some money buying a new PS3, you can go into a game console service shop to make your PS3 last longer (i think GT6 can cause fan issues. Even worse, my PS3 before serviced claimed to having a YLOD problem)
I got the same impression. GT6 and GTA V put notably more load on my PS3, fan goes into higher ventilation modes than on older games, disk drive and hard drive constantly work even when the games sit at idle. Menus like the GT6 lobby screen make the overload pretty obvious. It's the nature of old hardware though, I'm just glad my PS3 has had no major hardware issues so far, hope it stays that way.
Yeah the only other game I played before the laser went was GTAV Online, and I reckon that played a part in the laser death too. I didn't play it at all once I installed the new laser. The only game I played after that was GT6.
For a little more info on it, the ps3 would still turn on, and it would still load stuff briefly. It would sometimes get into the GT6 main menu, but it would always crash. Even going into the internet browser, it would freeze and crash and carry on. Poor thing just seemed to have given up on life.
I sold it to a really dodgy local second hand shop
