Key Facts

  • 160 GB Fat (CECHG/H): Released October/November 2007. Last model with Spider-Man font. No PS2 backward compatibility.
  • 120 GB: Only existed on Slim (CECH-20xx) from September 2009 onward.
  • User Upgradable: All PS3s use standard 2.5" SATA HDDs. You can swap to 1TB/2TB SSDs easily.

If you have a "120 GB Fat PS3," it's a user-upgraded unit, not a factory model.
