Advice on which PS3 model to get? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

PS3 is one of the few systems I have ever owned or really ever played.

I want to get one for some ps3 exclusives, but I would like to be able to run home brew software on it.

I know the original fat model is the best one, but I’ll skip that as they are really pricey.

Can someone give advice on whether I should get slim or super slim or anything else to look out for when making the purchase?

On a CFW PS3, you can use multiman to create an ISO of a video BluRay or copy the file structure off of the disc by putting it into "classic multiman mode" - This will not work on HEN systems You'll still need to copy the result over to your PC and use software like MakeMKV to rip it to a movie file, but it works. I had to do that recently with a BluRay Disc that my PC Drive was refusing to read without errors.
