I'll keep info in dot points to make it short and simple.

1.) For all intents and purposes, I've always been a PC Gamer.
2.) Want to play "The Last of Us"
3.) Desperate enough to get a PS3 just for it.
4.) Question: Will even the oldest PS3 do? (Cause it's actually really cheap second hand)
5.) I just want to play it at at least 30 FPS.

Edit: Ultimately, what I'm asking is: can models as old as CECHAxx still run The Last of Us?

Thanks!
 
Solution
An older PS3 and newer one will perform the same. Parts may be smaller, power consumption less, but it's always the same processing power. The problem getting an older one is possible laser dying soon or yellow light of death, although it can happen to a brand new one, the chances are less. You also don't know if you buy a 2nd one if someone fixed it enough to work for the time being.

your choice.
