SpeedDemon Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Ok guys gonna be trying for a ps3 soon. i just wanted to know what model was best. the fat or slim ones? what problems do i look out for other than YLOD? i want to still be able to play ps2 and ps1 games so i think that may rule out the newer versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedDemon Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 yeah thats how they did it with the ps2. i have a fatboy and a slimline. i loved my fat boy, he lasted for years. and my bother has been through 6 slim lines. ill probably go for a slim line with 60 gb of hard drive, one controller, memory card, and assassins creed 2 and maybe MW2 if i feel like being gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 so from what ive read i should either get a 80 gb fat boy or a slim line? because of the 20,40, and 60 gb ones having issues with ylod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 im researching right now, but yeah more space is better. im actually trying to trade my airsoft gun for one, or sell my gun to this 14 year old twat and use thatmoney to get a ps3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Only the 20, 60 and an 80gb model had backwards compatibility. I picked up an 80gb when they came out (2 years ago), and have had no issues. I'm pretty sure only the 120gb and new 250gb are slim, don't think they had an 80gb slim (could be wrong). http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus My PS2 from March of 2001 is still working.

SpeedDemon Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 thats what im leaning towards. its comes with a controller and memory card for 275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Memory card? PS3s have hard drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocifero Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Memory card? PS3s have hard drives Get any backwards compatible PS3 because unlike Xbox, you can put ANY laptop hard drive in here and format them to work. 500 gig is not out of the question. I went out of my way to get a 80gig backwards compatible one. It's the 1st 80 gig they made, not the 2nd remember. I want to play my PS2 games like you. The PS3 has no memory car slots so you need to purchase a memory card adapter. Check Gamestop. Sony makes it. You transfer PS1 or PS2 game data right onto the PS3 hard drive. After that, the adapter is kinda useless until you need to transfer again lol, but no more memory cards! I got mine from Gamestop for $275 or so, same as ebay. It's real quiet too, unlike Xbox...

BrIaN EG2 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 you only need the adaptor if you get a 1gen though seeing that its the only reverse compatable PS3.. if you get a slim its useless and that would be a waste of your $5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
