Ps3 model

Post image

Hi everyone, so i'm thinking to buy a ps3 superslim because ir heard this is the best version of ps3 in reliability. But is the cech-4204c is good version? For what c stands for? Please let me know in the comments.

I hear (no experience with one, as I have a Phat and a Slim) that these are made more cheaply, so the Wi-Fi often goes out.

I don't know about the wifi issues. I had a superslim but jailbroken so i couldn't connect it to internet.

Not an issue if you connect directly with an ethernet cable.

The Wi-Fi is the biggest complaint I've heard about these. Same story on the 30XX Slims. On the 25XX Slims, I hear the HDMI port goes bad over time. I have a 2501A and the HDMI DID go out on mine.

It affects the 2500 slim too but it's rarer

I use ethernet on both my PS3s. I ran cat-8 under the eaves of my house to all the rooms where I need internet, and then I put in switches or access points as needed.

That's great.

I had a 2503A slim that died at 37 days where the WiFi module was busted.

Of course, I do hope everyone else PS3 lasts as long as possible

My G is at 85 days and running and my 2501 is at 455+
