Playstation 3 Condition Notes
Cases are standard, sturdier Blu-ray-style keep cases — far less hinge-crack-prone than PS2's era. The bigger PS3-specific condition concern lives in the console itself: early 'fat' launch models are known for solder/thermal-paste failure over time (Yellow Light of Death), which matters far more for a hardware listing than disc or case grading does.
