In a world where the technology has advanced so far since the release of the ps3, I still find myself coming back to the console, you somehow still can't beat a gaming session of black ops 2 and it's a miracle if those are all genuine controllers, seems like you got a deal

I’ve had my PS3 since 2010. He’s very old but still works. I’ve looked after it really well ❤❤❤❤❤

[@reisshep]

The original fat 60GB PS3 is probably my favorite console of all time. Just pop in the PS1 or PS2 disk, and everything works. It plays 3 generations of games, is able to stream Netflix, Spotify, has a BD drive etc... A complete media hub it was when it launched. Paired with a PSP it provided a complete and unmatched PS experience.

[@grahamkelly8662]

That’s all great but main kicker for me , is the poor framerate on PS3. I didn’t really notice it back in 2010 because that was all I was used to but after getting a Ps5 with 60/120 FPS, I can’t go back to 30.

[@CODA96]

@@grahamkelly8662 Oh really? Back in 2012 console fanboys kept talking about how 30fps is more cinematic, more than enough and than you cant see more than 24FPS anyways lol. How times changed huh? 60 is already outdated bro. Even 120 to an extent. Even 144 feels slow now. Once you go higher, you cant go back.

[@grahamkelly8662]

@@CODA96 I think your lying to yourself. Nobody said 24 FPS was cinematic lol

[@CODA96]

@@grahamkelly8662 Wrong, check out some old console fanboy videos. They said games run on 4k 60FPS on PS4 because they are ''designed'' to run as good on consoles. They said you need a 1000$+ PC to even be able to compete with consoles. On the Bloodborne Reveal at E3 back then one of the journalists said live, that she enjoys the 30fps lock because it feels more cinematic. Just search for crowbcat bloodborne e3

[@reisshep]

@@CODA96 Some fanboys did, but it was a fact that games ran poorly on PS3 and especially Skyrim. I still play 30 on PS5 because I can't play games without ray tracing. I cap my fps on PC as well so I can max out ray tracing. It's all I care about in graphics.

[@FalconWing1813]

Honestly Im getting to the point where I would rather play older games. Sure they don't have the best graphics but its a game and meant to be fun. These newer games can get complicated quick.

[@rustytanks]

I still use my PS3 Superslim almost daily, it's basically my complete entertainment system, DVD's, Blu-ray movies, MP4 movies via Movian center (multiman tool) and of cause games, I just can't justify the price of buying a PS5, games are ridiculously expensive and file sizes are too large, 4k TV's also cost an arm and leg, if the PS3 is jailbroken its basically free gaming for life

2023 PS3 gang reporting! I just recently got a PS3 for the first time and I'm very excited. I have the PS3 slim and I love how simple and elegant the design is. I completely jumped the 7th generation of consoles because of how expensive they were in my country back then, so finally having the PS3 is like completing the last piece for my collection of Sony consoles. I'm still surprised of how ahead of their time the PS3 was, as it's pretty much the basis for the modern day console.

[@yashp97]

I had ps3 back in 2013-2014 ❤ good old days where you didn't have to pay for multiplayer 😂

I never had a PS3.. My first PS console was PS2 Slim is about 2007 or 2008.. What nostalgy :) Now i bought a PS5.

[@christopherwood12]

Me too! I bought a ps3 in 2023. Cheap games, ps2 and ps1 support on slim consoles with cfw and the media centre support is brill for blurays and CDs. You can get a media remote and have a blast. You can also emulate lots of other consoles before the ps3 which makes for a brilliant device to have connected to a tv

[@kbhasi]

Oh! The PlayTV! I forgot how the PS3 was not only a games console but a media hub too, with video disc playback, storing photos, music, and video on the internal hard drive, but there was a TV tuner released for the PS3 in a few countries?!?! Whoa. The TV stuff reminded me of how the official PS3 and PS4 remotes were designed to fit in with Sony home entertainment device remotes of the time. (14:50) I think it's for printing photos, because if I recall correctly from a video I watched, it was possible to import photos from a camera or USB flash drive directly to the console's internal hard drive, and the console was also able to connect with PSP consoles.

It’s a great console! My nephew gave me his ps3 when he got his ps5 a few years ago.

So I sent it in for warranty repair and they returned it stating no work had been done, but no further issues since. About 4 months ago I find out it magically has 250gb. Thank you Sony!

[@DrPeachGuy]

I have a PS3 and its one of my all time favorite consoles now after the GameCube and Wii. I love the Switch equally just as much as my PS3.

[@TheMcGuireLife]

Hi, ChrisPro this is Jermey McGuire. I got my first PlayStation 3 slim was back on Christmas in 2011 I remember my nephews playing my PlayStation3 slim a lot. I enjoyed the PlayStation3!! Then I switched to the Xbox One S on Christmas 2017 before I received the PlayStation3.” My 1st PlayStation was the PlayStation 2 I had since the 8th grade. I don’t have anymore, my favorite game was guitar hero encore rocks the 80’s I had the PlayStation2 through out high school I was a senior in high school when the PlayStation3 was launched, I have faun memories of playing PlayStation 3 video game.

[@kforkrish]

It's kind of depressing to see how non ps3 users or who don't know the origins of PlayStations think about the ps3 itself nowadays.

[@WeiJian393]

I just recently purchased a ps3 slim too. It had box, and manuels. Plus 15 physical games and a sharpshooter with motion and navigator. Two controllers red and blue( trashed cus they were drifting and had cracks) and a camera. Opened the ps3 today and it was clean, no dust and no bugs.

[@StylishIrisman]

That ps3 intro music though …..❤️

[@langdon1705]

i just bought one of these for nostalgia purposes. So many memories, esp of the all nighters playing Skyrim together during sleepovers. The PS4 and PS5 just feel soulless in comparison. The PS2 and PS3 are from a better more pure time. But i have done a SATA SSD upgrade to improve loading times for any digital games and stored media i've put on there. (disk game load times are almost entirely beholden to the bluray drive read speeds, not console storage). I also stripped it down and did a dust cleanout. Necessary on consoles this old.

[@Trusteft]

While I am mostly a computer game, the PS3 is easily my favorite console. I have the most games on it than any other console (a bit over 100 IIRC), not including digital versions (~20 or so) . While I stopped buying consoles after the PS4/Xbone, I am fine with it and I prefer it over the others. As I see it now, money permitting, I will never buy another console unless they bring in backwards compatibility to PS3 on them, or for MS ones, PGR3 and PGR4 backwards compatibility. Otherwise I am fine with my PC and all the games released on the consoles I already have. I hope you enjoy your new console, though since it is a used one, I wouldn't say no to opening it to clean it, change the thermal paste and perhaps even upgrading the drive to a SSD one. Mostly for longevity than anything else. Thanks for the video and happy gaming!

[@user-wi3tc1ek8f]

I agree. I have consoles from 5th to 8th generation. Not buying another console as a mini PC appears to be the future way to go.

[@Trusteft]

@@user-wi3tc1ek8f Sad really, but true. Depending of course on the games one plays. But still, with the last of the reasons to buy a console more or less gone (physical releases and no need to be online for single player), what's the point of getting a console? Physical releases because most of the time you need to download the "patch" of several GBs. Might as well stick to PC with at least the option of DRM free games there, for example from GOG.

[@chaoticdreadlord]

PS3 fat original (CECHA) 60GB are the best PS3 ever, use a custom firmware, install retroarch, and it become an emulation monster (could play most arcade games up to early 2000's title, Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, etc.), and of course it can play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games (obviously).

[@docrobotnik247]

Minecraft is one of the few games that allow you to play your mp3s(copied via hitting triangle after inserting a music CD disc or USB with /Music folder)during gameplay as it's so low ram. Very few games allowed this, you could also copy x264(mp4s) and avi/xvid videos to the HD too via the /Video folder on a USB or even copy them straight from a CD/DVD+R/RWs, also sure you could even burn them to the RW discs and obviously copy them onto other USBs too. That's a proper Home Entertainment system back then!

[@vspencer9764]

Somehow I’ve ended up with 5 ps3 consoles ranging for fat to super slim, I originally bought a fat new and it lasted me 15 years and was used daily when it got the dreaded YLOD, so then upgraded to a ps4. At the moment they’re so cheap as I’ve never paid more than £30 secondhand for one with games, the only problem is, I’ve ended up with 4 copies of GTA V as everyone went out and bought it. I’ve been signed off work for 5 days and my PS5 hasn’t had a look in.as it’s been 7 hrs spent on Red-dead Nightmare running through a 50 inch plasma. It seems to me that the 3 was an amazing leap forward in gaming and since then things haven’t really improved in software.
