I've had a refurbished model of this ps3 for 5 years. After 3 years I started getting the YLOD. I went through the steps to fix it 3 different times from year 3-5 and as of today it no longer fixes the YLOD. The system was good while it lasted but really it should have a longer life than this. So I enjoyed the system while it worked but must sacrifice the backwards compatibility and go with the reliable 320GB slim version. Buy this at your own risk.

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
I drove out an extra half hour beyond the store closest to me to get this 60GB model because after owning a 40GB PS3 (brand new when I got it) I decided I HAD to have the legacy compatibility with PS and PS2 software. Not only does this model have that - which NONE of the new PS3s have - but it also has 4 USB ports and a nice collection of memory card slots on the front as well. There is no substitute for all of that.
I checked it out and the refurb is great. Every feature works fine. I even popped a 1TB hard drive in there and used the Data Transfer Utility to move absolutely everything from my old 500GB HD onto the new machine. No problems.
I was surprised and very happy to find that right out of the box, GameStop had already installed the latest software revision to this console, so that was very nice. I was a little disappointed that the controller that was supposed to be with this package was not in it. As this is a replacement unit, I really didn't NEED one, but I was still looking forward to getting one as a spare anyway. As I mentioned above, I drove an EXTRA half hour out of my way to get to the store, so it really is not very convenient to have to go back to get the missing controller issue resolved - if that would even happen. Maybe I'll call the store and see if they set it aside - otherwise, how will they even know I'm not full of it when I claim my box didn't have it in there. Either way, no biggie - I can live without it and the price is worth it for what I got, so I'm not going to look this gift horse in the mouth.

The specs speak for itself. Why pay for more GB when you can install the hard drive yourself!? One hard drive cover and hard drive screw..... Just make sure that It's a 2.5" Hard drive. CompUSA!!! $70.00 1-TB!!

Ok I love PS3 I have a ps3 slim but then I found this behemoth of a system could play FFXI due to it being backwards compatible. So I was excited! Worked fine for about 40min to an hour while restored it to its factory settings and it up. Pop my ffxi install disk in tells me to install Playonline then it shuts...YOLD. It was that moment when realize you don't get recess in middle school all over again. So now my ffxi install disk is stuck in it. It's WAY overpriced considering age and even if you do refurbish its still too much. Oh also the controller didn't work either should of known then lol... I would of been better off getting one off ebay cheaper and if it breaks down you can just take it to a repair shop that does it better then GameStop and you would still spent the 233.00 but at least it works and you have the repair shop warranty!

I ordered this version of the PS3 because I wanted the backwards compatibility. I wanted to be able to use my old PS2 and PS1 games. The only dowside is that the faceplate dosent have the Spider-Man font on top. Well that is also one of the upsides. It actually kinda looks better without the Spider-Man font.

the 60 gb model is simply the best out of all the PS3 Models, it has all the features of the current Consoles, and is built with quality.
Not Only Full PlayStation 2 Compatibility, it up-scales your PS2 Games to HD, your Slim sure cant do that little alone know what a PS2 Game is.
I'm in the process of buying another since i sold my last one months ago, and i deeply regret but i had to do what i had to do.
Gamestop Look forward to selling another sometime soon.

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
I purchased this console way back in Feb 2007. I haven't had a single problem with it yet. I have upgraded the HD to 500 gigs and I put movies on there to play as well as store game data. This is not only a console but it is a media server as well. I liked it so much I bought a second one for my bedroom. ( I am to lazy to move the console based on where I want to play.) That console is the 60 gig as well. It hasn't given me an ounce of trouble either. I don't play my ps2 or ps1 games a lot but I love having the option on playing them whenever and not having to hook up another console. I will only play on this model of ps3. I would recommend it to anyone. Don't waste your money on the others that may be more quiet. This system truely does it all .. Just like the commercials say.
Thanks.

I bought this refurbished system from GameStop about 3 years ago and have enjoyed every minute of use. I bought this particular model since I have many PS2 games and wanted the backward compatibility. Both PS2 and PS3 games display beautifully on my LCD TV, and the NetFlix and BluRay work great. However, I was surprised by the durability of the system. I keep it on top of a cabinet, so there is plenty of air circulation so I've never had a problem with overheating, even when I am playing a game for 12-16 hours at a time. But by keeping it in this location it was completely flooded by water when a pipe burst upstairs. I actually poured water out of the system and then let it dry out for a day before plugging it in again. I never had a problem. Everything worked just the same as before. That happened over a year ago and the system is still going strong.

I have heard so many people tellin me when you buy a Sony product, your mainly just buying the name, but I've always kinda felt that the quality of their products has generally been top notch from my past experience. Glad to hear your system is still going strong. One would tend to think that there is indeed some element of luck in what happened in your case, but so be it, & keep on gaming.

I Always Wanted a 60gb Ps3 so I traded my 80 with 2 usb ports in at gamestop. and i must say im am very pleased with the purchase .. I don't have no problems with it i play ps2 games n ps3 games no problem. but the only real main issue is that it gets hot very fast and the fan blows so loud . the fan is very loud , its annoying make sure you keep it in a cool room. you dont want to get the ylod . but so far so good .The ps3 60gb is the best ps3 ever build.

Well you got the YLOD on a system model that is the most common with. Now for all the viewers who read this keep in mind Gamestop gives a 30 days on all products , So all you have to do is send it back and tell them it was a DEAD system. and they would refund you or replace the system for FREE.
I bought my second 60 gig refurbished system from gamestop and never had a problem. my first system I bought from gamestop in 2006 it was the same model but brand new.

overheats too much. after it overheats it takes 2 weeks before it will function better but only for a day or 2. If you want to buy a playstation save up and buy a new one.

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
I got this system used over 4 years ago and it never broke down on me like I never got the YLOD at all and I like this system better than the slim because it has 4 USB ports and it's also much easier to upgrade the HDD to instead of just pulling the rubber foot off and unscrewing the screw that holds the HDD in place and I also like that this PS3 has a vent on the right side and the front bottom and on the back too.
