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?

And that is where you're wrong. Both systems can suffer from YLOD, slims just look different when having it. The 80 GB phat is nice to get.
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: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Haven't heard of any YLOD cases in the slim. Although, Slims have lot more HDMI port problems than fat.

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