One of PS3 difficulties was the memory. It had 512MB same as the 360 however whilst the 360 allowed a developer to allocate varying amounts to GPU and system usage the PS3 enforced a hard 256/256 split which made things a big tricky when it came to juggling textures.

Paying for Xbox Live Gold was something I only ever did if my mates didn't have the PC version of a game or if I'd bought the 360 version over the PS3 version of a specific game.

Well actually the reason for YLOD and RROD is not the solder between the GPU and Boards, it was the seal betweeh the GPU dies and the GPU board, which would become soft at 70C. PS3s lasted more than 360s because they ran cooler, but they all failed eitherway. Later models use fixed GPUs that don't have the low temperature seal

I think the super slim gets a bad rap. The sliding hatch loading door isn't that much different from the PS2 slim flip up hatch my super slim is setting next to. Also there are no disc loading motors that are in the other models that will eventually fail. Granted I got the white model that shipped with a 500 gb hd and I think it looks quite nice sitting next to my silver PS2 slim. It's been nothing but reliable and is very quiet.

[@ultimatespidybawlz2198]

21:53 the ylod of death has nothing to do with overheating. It has to do with the fact that the gpu in the ps3 used improper bump solder material that would get to soft from the constant hot and cold and eventually the chip would break connection with the board. The same problem was what caused the red ring of death. It was known as bump gate and was a widespread issue with electronic devices in the mid 2000s. Later model systems don’t have this issue because the new gpus were made with proper material this time that can handle the temperatures

[@randomdog4255]

Correction at 17:15, the 20GB model still had four USB ports. The number wasn't cut down until future models. Also at 17:33, the 80GB didn't cut backwards compatibility. Instead, the Emotion Engine (PS2 CPU) was removed and emulated by the CELL. Backwards compatibility wasn't removed until the 40GB model.

[@TrexelCat]

Also worth noting that ALL Backwards Compatible PS3's(hardware and emulated) had four USBs. The same model they dropped PS2, they also dropped two of the USBs. Just some information for those who might be hunting for a BC PS3, you can spot a BC pretty fast by this.

I will note as someone whos extremely passionate for the FAT PS3s is that yes the systems did get hot and overheat but this was most common for the Launch PS3s with the built in PS2 known as the Emotion Engine (EE) causing more heat but the most common cause for this issue even in the slim was the NEC Tokin copasitors having to be really close to the CELL and RSX to be most effective but intern making the capacitors fail causing the yellow light of death (YLOD).

I have somewhat a similar PS3 purchase story to Ken's. I was at our mall to see Casino Royale with my family. We went a bit early (having just brought my brother to the airport), so I decided to hop into GameStop... as the UPS man was delivering them to the store! I was then asked how many I wanted! Obviously, I could only afford one but was taken aback by the question. After purchasing it, my dad and I clutched the bag tightly as we trudged through the mall to tell my mother and sister that we were bringing it home and would come back.

RE: PS3 pricing In the UK the PS3 launched at £425 (only the 60GB model was available, with software back compat). For comparison, the 20GB 360 launched at £280 & the 360 Core (no HDD) was £210. In terms of cost cutting, I can give a good example of its speed. I got my 80GB PS3 in Sept '08, 18 months after the UK launch. No PS2 back compat by that point, but it was also £330, including a 2nd controller + MGS4. Also as my PS3 got the YLoD (lasted about 4yrs), at the end of 2012 I bought a 12GB Super Slim bundle with a few games and a 2nd controller for £160. By the time I sold the games, and my 2 older controllers, I'd paid about £100 for the new Super Slim. I installed a 320GB HDD into it, so never used the 12GB storage.

The YLOD and RRoD were *NOT* related to high temperatures. It was related to newly developed lead-free RoHS-compliant solder being used in many products at the time. This included: the 360, the PS3, Nvidia's mobile GPUs, and more. The solder cracked as a function of the number of thermal cycles from room temperature to operating temperature and had *ZERO* to do with "overheating" or the actual temperature... anything operated at. The solder would have cracked if the system operated 15 degrees cooler. It would have cracked if it operated much at all above ambient temperature. This is a myth that's been debunked for over a decade.

Gran Turismo 6 came out after the Playstation 4 was released. I think you meant Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. 5 came out after that.

I had a 360 like most of my college peers, but I bought the 80gb ps3 only to play metal gear solid then solid it all on eBay

[@Thomas-VA]

you bought every ps3, what are you some old Best Buy, or Circuit City. Well at least you have a lot of space to store/sell every PS3.

[@natefrm860]

Remember the ps3 didn’t even need a subscription too play online like the 360.

My Spiderman PS3 2008 turns on beeps wile flashing the yellow light of death and turns off. It started doing that a couple years ago. It lasted a long time so it's okay.
