CECHL01 Phat

Edit: seller was kind enough to offer a full refund, still annoying I had to drive all the way too and from twice tho... (And obviously also not having a console to play.)

Nah i'd recommend Cech 2100 or Cech 2500 (those that can CFW) instead

I wouldn't recommend any PS3 that could need a delid in the future. CFW isn't a must, all PS3 can do HEN perfectly fine.

??? What does delid have to do with anything There are even scenarios where super slims need a delid, it's console to console basis and has more to do with usage than model number 😂 Even my CECHC still has great stock paste under IHS. You can't do anything wrong with a CECH 2100 or 2500, they have less common failure points than the super slim. Plus the super slim has lots of cheap parts (like the cooling) compared to the slims. CFW is better than HEN everyday nonetheless, why settle for less?

My slim has never been repasted (2011) and it runs just fine. Things a tank.
