Playstation 3 Hardware Notes
Early 'fat' launch PS3 models are known for the Yellow Light of Death — a solder/thermal-paste failure from heat cycling over years of use — making a launch-era unit meaningfully riskier than a later slim or super-slim revision for actual long-term reliability. Only the earliest fat models have real hardware PS2 backward compatibility, a genuine spec difference worth confirming rather than assuming across the PS3 line.
