Which PS3 Model Is Most Reliable?
The PS3 Super Slim, while not as beloved design-wise, is also very reliable and less prone to failure compared to the original 'fat' models. It's lightweight and easy to maintain too.

The PS3 Slim (model CECH-2000/2100) is generally considered the most reliable. It has a smaller form factor and improved cooling, which helps prevent overheating issues common in the original 'fat' models.
Honestly, any model except for the original 'fat' PS3 should be fine reliability-wise. Just avoid those early ones if you can.
