The PS3 had 3 issues, first issue was expected which it needed new thermal paste, I replaced the thermal paste. Second issues was the hdmi that came with the system replaced it with one I already had it works fine since then. Third issues was the ps3 power button/eject button didn't light up/didn't work but fixed it by using a new ribbon cable from the motherboard to the power/eject bar on the PS3, all issues was to be expected cause of the age of the system... since then the product worked as intended no more issues at all.. A++ product!

The CECH-25xx is the last of the models of the PS3 to be able to install custom firmware (CFW). It's a very reliable system (it takes long time before a PS3 Slim undergoes a Yellow Light of Death), which is the main reason I purchased it, but it has other perks, too! Not only does the power supply take less voltage, but it's also lighter, which makes it easier to lug around if you find yourself needing to switch it out for something else every now and again. They're also really cheap! I got mine for <$100, including tax and shipping! Overall, to anybody aiming to purchase a PS3 so long after its official discontinuation, a CECH-25xx is (if you're not looking for PS2 backwards compatibility) THE model to get. P.S. Watch out! Not all CECH-25xx systems can run CFW! If the date code is 0, 9, or 1A, then they can. Otherwise, stay away!Read full review

Pros (compared to Xbox 360): I love many things about 160 GB slim PlayStation 3... The built in Internet web browser. Free online game-play as opposed to subscription price for xbox gamers. More applications available for download. Slim/Sleek design makes for easier storage. USB port allows for a free charge when the controller goes dead. Xbox owners have to buy the necessary parts to make this happen. Cons (Compared to Xbox 360) Slower download speed. Every time you play a game for the first time it has to download, which may take quite a while depending on the game. Less selection for gameplay. My own personal opinion is that the xbox has better game selection.
this machine is so quiet and stays cool..not like our old PS3 which was so clunky and loud...excellent graphics, very lightweight and easy to store....also holds a lot of memory..so happy I purchased it for my child...

Tested it a few days, didnt freeze or overheat, it even survived a blackout. Seems to be in good shape so I have to give a 5 star review. I decided to go back to this version after a super slim version I had fried up it's video card. This slim version never gave me any problems and this time is working well too. From my personal lived experiences, best version released.
