Some helpful information when ownership a ps3 (and how to identify one without knowing the serial model number)

And so if you already accept a ps3 and just desire to refresh your memory, or if you lot want to experience ps3 for the commencement time and all it has to offer, this guide will help y'all based on your wants and needs. - Fat models (some people call these phat).
CECH-A(Xx) - The most complete ps3, complete with 4 USB ports and a flash carte du jour reader. This console has native, hardware ps3 backwards compatibility with the ps2 and ps1, it features a chrome trim with a piano black, sleeky finish. (Go on in mind, these are really like shooting fish in a barrel to scratch up if you motility it constantly).-
CECH-B(20) is the 20gb launch ps3 and was discontinued shortly afterwards launch. Information technology has a manifestly, black finish unlike all of the other fat ps3s. It likewise features hardware compatibility, simply it lacks the menu reader and there is NO WiFi on lath, y'all will need an Ethernet cable to get online. Information technology still has the same sleeky piano blackness finish as the 60gb Launch. (I.Thou.O. I would recommend upgrading pocket-sized 20gb hard bulldoze if y'all plan on having a large library, near games will not fifty-fifty fit onto the hard drive itself, it is just skilful for 1 or two dlcs and some game saves.—
CECH-C(Xx) and CECH-East(Xx) are adequately like except for the threescore and 80gb hdd respectively, these both accept a chrome trim and a chrome end, but these both lack hardware ps2 compatibility. These accept software backwards compatibility with ps2 games. These still feature the iv USB ports and WiFi, along with card readers. —————
—"2nd gen" fatty models——
CECH-M(20), H(Twenty), J(Xx)
These are the 40gb models, these consoles dropped ps2 compatibility, flash card readers, and ii USB ports. These consoles shipped with the poorly-received 6 centrality controller. And was primarily in piano black, but a silver trim rather than a chrome trim, (note: there was other colors in limited edition models)—
CECH-K(XX),L(XX),M(XX),
These were 60gb models of the new fatty ps3s The difference between the 40gb model is the upgraded storage, and brought back the DualShock controller.—
CECH-P(XX),Q(Xx),
These are the exact same as the K,L,Thou models but had an upgraded, 80gb, difficult drive.—
(All PS3 Fat models had Linux [other OS] support upwards until software revision 3.21 when it was removed)—
The best fashion to easily identify a backwards compatible ps2 PS3 is to wait for the chrome finish, and the card reader, along with the 4 USB ports at the bottom.
—PS3 SLIM—
Overview: The ps3 slims dropped ps2 backward compatibility and Linux support and featured a much more compact redesign over previous models. They do not actually change except for their difficult drive sizes—
CECH-20xxA, 21xxA - 120gb HDDs—
CECH-20xxB, 21xxB - 250gb HDDs—
CECH-25xxA, 30xxA - 160gb HDDs—
CECH-25xxB, 30xxB - 320gb HDDs—
—PS3 SS(Super Slim)—
The super slim models were the final revision and the near compact ps3 model, these featured the controversial sliding disk drive and felt cheap compared to other slot loading models, once again these practise not alter in pattern like fatty models, merely their hard drive sizes.—
CECH-40xxA, 42xxA, 43xxA - 12gb HDDs—
CECH-40xxB, 42xxB - 250gb HDDs—
CECH-40xxC, 42xxC, 43xxC - 500gb HDDs—

Some additional notes: All PS3 has native software ps1 emulation. Slims and Superslims added Bravia Sync XMB and Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD master audio.
CECH-25xx(A,B) These can, cannot be jailbroken. You need to have physical access to the console in gild to bank check.
You lot can meet if those consoles tin can exist modded past looking at the appointment code on the back of the console. Here is a picture showing that
Your date lawmaking needs to exist one of the following: 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D.
If you cannot notice your date code, any console with the twelvemonth 2011 cannot be jailbroken and must utilize an exploit called HEN. (Homebrew Enabler)
Modded Slims can play some ps2 games through emulation.

I hope this helps you exist able to place the model of a ps3 and what features it has. I would recommend a PS3 slim if you plan on just playing ps3 game's online, it looks visually appealing and has a less likely YLOD problem like PS3 Fat models. If you want to get all out and get the most characteristic rich ps3 you tin can go, I would definitely recommend a CECH-A01, these were the near B@lls to the walls ps3s yous could get, merely be weary, and these are 14 years old and could YLOD at any time, Clean Information technology! I will non go into item nearly modding your console, you lot can find that elsewhere. Any criticism and corrections are welcomed!

Note: this is a suggestive guide, and I would yet try and find out your model number, hard drives could exist swapped, a 160gb non cfw ps3 could accept a 250gb hdd in it and so forth.
