It's been two years since my purchase of a PS3 slim 160GB system, but better late than never to say the console was in excellent condition when purchased used. I opened it up recently to see not a spec of dust on any part of the casing or heat sink beside the power supply, but the power supply screw was stripped which meant I couldn't completely open the rest & check the motherboard for any aging or thermal paste replacements. I highly doubt it needed it though since it never overheated & the fans always stayed almost dead silent most of the time.
It wasn't advertised as 'refurbished' anyways, just used 'good' condition which makes the actual condition of it so surprising. Slims & super slims definitely seem to be a safer option for PS3's these days if you're going to buy used. There's some sellers that are genuinely taking care of these consoles.
The console ran super quiet with 0 issues throughout the time I used it with multiple hard drives & games. However it died on its own thanks to a power outage that completely killed the video/audio source & permanently stays idle when powered on these days. "Green light of death". All PS3's whether new or used are infamous for not being able to survive power fluctuations.
But I wanted to come back to make sure to give personal feedback when it did operate excellently for what was an affordable price for the bundle ($143.99 before taxes). I would've paid a little more though if I knew the power cable the seller sold me was going to be a what looked like a few centimeters in length. That was the shortest power cable I've ever seen in my life. :P
