I just purchased a second hand first gen PS3 from someone. Despite of its heavy weight, it is beautiful to look at. I think it is the best looking console ever made. In addition, you can play PS2 disks on it directly. Which PS3 is your favorite?
My PS3 is Slim White 320 GB model.
Can only play PS3 and PS1 games in disc though the PS1 games region must be same with the machine.
Mine is Asia version (Region 3) so only can play NTSC-J PS1 games.
One thing i noticed, playing Rhythm PS1 games such as DDR on PS3 wasn't the right way to play as the song and arrows was very off sync due to different emulation process.
I currently have a Super-Slim, but I've had an original and a Slim before.
Honestly, I think the Slim was my favourite as well, although things with an automated disc drive always make me nervous (since my original PS3 was halfway through eating a disc when it broke). It felt quality and substantial, unlike the Super Slim which is, admittedly, kinda cheap... but then it has the biggest HDD and I hated running out of space, so each model has benefits and downsides.
The backwards compatibility with PS2 discs would've been nice to maintain from some of the original models, and the build quality would've been nice to maintain from the Slim.
But hey, as long as I can play my PS3 games without any major issues, I'm happy with whatever!

My PS3’s the big thicc boy that plays PS2 discs. Somewhat ironic that my dad bought it almost immediately after walking out but hey, I own it now and I do love the backwards compatibility!
I service my big PS3 after I bought it. Cleaning up everything and it is running quite cool. What I like about the fat PS3 is how professional it looks when it is standing up. The slim and super slim can't really use it in that orientation. Even the new PS5 doesn't look quite as good. It is a nice addition to the living room.
I got the original one at launch, and loved it. I actually didn't own any PS3 games for months afterwards, and used it to play my PS2 games. It was terrific. Unfortunately, four years after I bought it, it broke and Sony refused to fix it, because the new model had come out. This really sucked, because I had given my PS2 to a relative, and now couldn't play all of those games any longer.
The good news is that my replacement PS3 slim model has never had any issues, and is still in regular weekly use ten years later. My kids play games that are older than they are with it, and we use it as the Bluray player on the main level of our house.
Feature-wise, the "thick" 80 GB PS3 that came bundled with MGS4. Its BC with PS2 and PS1 and has nifty SD and PSP "memory stick" card slots. I believe at least one or two more USB ports as well. Can be expensive these days on second-hand markets though.
Build-wise, the PS3 Slim (the first one, not the last SKU that had the slide-open top to access the disc tray. These are cheap and reliable (and still BC with PS1 games).
I have a ps3 super slim, and in my opinion ps3 super slim is the best because it comes with 12 gb, 160,360 and 500gb storage and it has the best processor from the other ones, and it is also the lighter than other ps3 console . So in my opinion ps3 super slim is the best. 😐😐😐
