The 80Gig one is a revised one without PS2 Hardware...

 

A new PSU won't bring you much luck. Especially since you might have ordered the wrong one anyway because the problem is with the Chips. And the Lead free Solder in those...

 

I'd imagine that both old ones are rather loud under load, so you might want to look for a newer Slim one. Maybe even Super Slim one...

But for a start, not that bad.

Cancel that order of the 2TB drive. I think the largest drive PS3 supports is 1.75TB.

Would rather keep the PS2 capable one, it's far better than any other model, PS2 looks outstanding on it even vs my FAT PS2 with component.

Not sure if I should post to Reddit and post a screenshot.

 

I wouldn't mind picking anything for the right price, but I mostly bring home original Xboxes. I also own a fat PS2 just to play Star Trek Conquest, but it's easily worth the space. My fat Xbox 360 is still going strong, if that counts, and I have picked a second hand S model for backup. I haven't had the misfortune to pick up a broken console yet, but I have seen a few bad controllers and games.

 

I would like to one day dive into old consoles from Sega, but I fear they'd just end up being really expensive filling for cardboard boxes, I don't have endless space (or money). The original Xbox is great for modding, and collecting for it is at the same time (often) collecting for the newer Xboxes, so it feels justifiably worthwhile.
