I recently (within the last six months) got a PS3 slim.
I updated to the latest OFW and swapped out the drive for a 1TB one.
To my disappointment, this console completely locks up (i.e. hangs on whatever screen it's on and has to be unplugged from the mains power to do anything) quite often. It hung once in Darksiders, a couple of times on the main menu, and almost every time whenever I try to download games from PSN.
Is this an issue everyone has or is it potentially an issue with this specific console? I expected a way less buggy experience from a 7 year old console. This has really made me lose faith in Sony (especially with the 4.45 update recently bricking a lot of consoles) and leaves me wondering why so many people are ready to jump on the PS4.
