I've still got a 60GB PS3 and it still works fine, Blu-Ray player and all. It gets really loud, but it's always been that way. But I also stayed away from a couple late-gen games that were rumored to be destroyers of the OG models, such as The Last of Us..
Anyone know if there's any truth to this?
The YLOD problem usually required a reseat of the heat sink with some fresh thermal paste which I was able to do by myself very easily. It is a small problem and since then my console has run perfectly. I think $150 for a PS1, PS2 and PS3 all in one is actually a very good deal. My advice would be to sell your PS1 and PS2 and grab one of these, this way you have 3 consoles in one which is less clutter and way more convenience.
I still have my launch model and it works great, infact I still use it as my main Blu-Ray player as the Ps4 sucks for any sort of media.
I'm probably leaning towards Slim at this point but your post has me really tempted.
