Since I found out that the BC is imperfect on these models anyway (3 frames of lag even when playing in 480i on an SD set), I'm going to eventually sell mine and grab the new model. I'm just hoping it lasts me until then.

You are the reason forums exist. Thanks.
I hope you'll be selling it for parts. Calling poorly refurbished/dying PS3s functional and selling them to people is pretty lame. I'm sure you're not happy the guy you bought it from might have done that to you.
It's not crashing like the OP's PS3. It crashes at very specific points and not with any frequency.
Now that I know that it's likely it will go down the same road, I'll go ahead and sell it. Don't see a problem with that. A BC PS3 is a BC PS3. They have the emotion engine and bad solder. I don't feel obligated to tell anyone about the second part, Sony certainly did not.
My PS3 Randomly freezes when I play WipEout... Its quite rare but I don't know why it only happens when I play Wipeout, Because when I play other games it never freezes the PS3.
BTW my PS3 is a slim 160GB, not the latest super super slim ones. Should I be worried that my PS3 freezes?
Nah - mine freezes during Wipeout now and again as well. Usually if I join a game and the race starts immediately...
Also, recently it freezes for about half a second which puts me off my lines which is very annoying but it doesn't do this that often.
