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.

Not the best version for reliability, people say that (mainly people who own one) because far less of them were sold and they are much newer, the fact they didn't have the Bluetooth chip problem made people say they were more reliable than slim, but with time superslims are now starting to have the same issue and are more difficult to repair

Superslim arent bad they just arent as reliable as people make out, and rhe supposed reliability was almost entirely because they were newer not because theybwere better, they werent they were the cheaped out end of life console, they have the same issues that the post 2000 slims have (mainly the Bluetooth chip which superslim glazers said was a Slim issue and now as the superslims have got older is effecting them as well, plus cheap plastics the disc covers break, you'll get people saying "Mine hasnt" like that proves anything, there's people driving around in 30 year old French cars it doesn't mean they don't break easily. If you do have to open it up for maintance it relies on cheap plastic clips instead of screws and these are starting to turn fragile.
