The factory issued HDD for the Fat or the early PS3 models had a smaller hard drive (20GB, 40GB, 60GB, & 80GB models were released) than any of the PS3 slim(120GB or 250GB later models had 160GB or 320GB, then the 250GB or 500GB was used for the super slim ). There was a fat special edition with a 160GB harddrive that is smaller than all but the first 120 GB slim models, but even those first slim models could be purchased with 250 GB. It really does not matter because it costs about $150 for best buy to make any PS3 into one with a 1 TB hard drive. For $50 they will also install your harddrive and many different standard laptop HDD can be purchased below $100 from AMAZON for Best Buy to install if you do not have the ability to install it yourself. For a few more dollars they will also transfer all your files from your old PS3 Hard Drive unto the new one. All PS3 models take standard laptop harddrives and were designed to allow you to upgrade the harddrive size

No, the PS3 40 GB fat model cannot run Grand Theft Auto V.

Additionally, the 40 GB fat model may struggle with performance due to its older hardware.
