I'm Still Playing PS3 In 2024, Let Me Explain

[@greggvictorious968]

Literally PS3, 360 and Wii was the pinnacle of gaming. Truly the golden era. There will never be another!

I think it depents on the Genre you love to play. Imo the golden era of Gaming is SNES/PSONE because of the massiv Number of decent RPGs. But sometimes you can find Gems in the actual Generations. The Switch is JRPG Giant

The PS3 has an abundance of japanese JRPG's you cannot find on any other console, it can play ps1 games natively and imo has the most gorgeous UI, much prettier than the ps4 menu

[@nora-bee]

I preach from the rooftops at any given opportunity, the XMB UI for PS3 & PSP forever outclasses everything else. I've still yet to find another UI that is as simple, sleek and elegant. No fluff, no 6 menus to jump through to access your apps and downloaded games, everything is easy and intuitive to access. Can we go back please 😭😭

[@jurassicjam2156]

I've gone from playing the PS4 and Series X on a 55 inch 4k TV to playing the PS3 on a little 19 inch HD TV and the experience is ten times better. Playing through the Killzone and Resistance games has been amazing. The way forward for enjoyment in gaming is to go back.

[@howardmueller1535]

You downgraded and the experience is ten times better? Stop the cap, champ! 😂 I can’t go back to the slow days of the ps3 and the ps4, let alone to the low resolution of a tiny tv. To each their own, though.

[@jurassicjam2156]

@howardmueller1535 I think It's because for me (who has been gaming since home consoles became a thing) I don't think graphics and resolution make a game good. PS3s weren't designed for huge 4k TVs so don't as great on them as they do smaller HD ones. Loading times don't bother me either given that games like Gramlins on the Spectrum ZX would take 45 mins (if it even did load).

[@amnril]

The Resistance series and KillZone 2/3 were epic.

[@jurassicjam2156]

@amnril killzone 3 I really enjoyed, Resistance 2 was incredibly tough in places but number 3 seem really good so far.

If my 360 hadn't bricked in 2013 I don't know how long I would have waited to "upgrade". At that time, you could go into any GameStop and buy a dozen games for $100 to keep busy for the next half decade. This generation was the perfect balance between depth/graphics and quantity of games, and there were so many passionate developers that wanted to push the envelope in terms of gaming quality.

[@nocturneuh]

Did it RROD? I enjoyed the console, just kept RRODing on me.

[@ImWithTeamTrinity]

I had 3 RROD's in a row, my 4th worked allright, then my mothers RROD'd, and I gave her mine and gave up on Microsoft, never bought another Xbox again. Replaced it with a PS3 in late 2011 early 2012 ish, and it still runs like a top. Im actually playing GT 5 right now on a 55" 4k tv, I think it still looks great.

[@necroheartplucker]

As a 90's kid, I couldn't agree more. Games were at their peak, not just in graphics (even though it's dated by now), but there was a lot of creativity in many titles and the games are literally released 100% done on day 1. Nowadays I had to rely on Japanese games to get some variety, while Western games just use the same formula like online shooters or movie-like games that have controversial stuff or too much micro-transactions that made games look like a gambling machines etc.

[@hail2daking00]

the console itself and its games still hold up if not surpass what we have today gameplay wise also the fact the community has its own server for so many games is amazing .

[@lakerboy16]

I wish that it was linked to the same game and store severs as the PS4 and 5 though.

[@wotanmituns33]

In some parts of my brain it's still circa 2010 and playstation 3 it's the latest and greatest. That thing just screams next-gen. The jump from 6th to 7th gen was insane. HD graphics, HDMI connectivity, motion controllers (sixaxis and move), online play (free at that), bluetooth connectivity, media center, sleek design, bluray, playstation home, etc. I mean, come on! US AIR FORCE SUPERCOMPUTER BUILT WITH A CLUSTER OF 1760 PLAYSTATION 3'S. Do I need to say anymore? Ok, great memes such as: "I have 3 ps3's."

I bought a PS3 back in November of 2022. Since I was a 360 player during that generation of consoles I was always curious about a LOT of the PS3 exclusives. With my 360 now basically my living room DVD player and having jumped to an XB1, I decided to actually buy a PS3 and have been collecting for it for over a year. And let me tell you that I'm really digging this thing.

[@canObeans4we]

Just recently bought another one after planning on it for a while. Boy did I miss this thing. Still probably my favorite console

[@DBLRxyz]

What version did you go with and from where? How much?

[@canObeans4we]

I went with the 120 GB Slim model. Got it on ebay for $90, and it even came with 12 games. You can find some pretty good bargains on there

[@BroWitGlasses8008]

Another great thing about this is era is that companies werent nickel and diming you at every corner. The base game always came first. $60 got you the full game and not a fraction of it so the rest can be sold to you later.

[@voteDC]

It's also the generation where that nickel and diming began. In Dragon Age: Origins there was an NPC in camp that you couldn't get rid of without buying a DLC and agreeing to do the quest for him.

[@jebreggie4225]

The 7th gen felt like a continuation of the great 6th gen era for the first few years but it somewhat lost the spirit at the end when all the games were just becoming poorly performing early 8th gen titles that needed dlc for a full experience

The YLOD was nothing statistically compared to the RROD on the 360, so the PS3 is still a good bet.

​@alejandroaguilar4693 The statistical difference is based on time frame. All launch models are doomed to eventually ylod in due time. There is always warping during heating and cooling and the balls in between serves as support to align everything back. The problem was over time, this did not happen causing cracks overtime and thus ylod occurred. The only fix is the Frankenstein method. Swapping the gpu more recent one. This was actually how sony repaired ylod consoles back then unbeknownst to us till recently when it was it was discovered that sony "refurbished" ylod consoles had gou models that did not exist pre ylod time frame.

[@xDamion220x]

I still have my original ps3 from 2008 and it still works and has 0 issues

[@RbNoLife]

Man I’ve been playing so much Rock Band 2 lately it’s insane. I took the PS3 for granted some years back. I let a friend borrow it cause I was getting somewhat bored of it and I was playing stuff like bloodborne at the time (about 2016-2017). I never saw that thing again. 2 years ago, I bought a new one, and it’s been such a blast. I’ve also been going through the original god of war games; fun doesn’t even begin to describe those. I highly recommend people to buy a PS3. They’re ABSOLUTELY worth it.

[@naimhammami4590]

You're right dude !!!! I'm still ps2 in 2024 but i will not explain why !

[@mohamedmnissar238]

Because no money 😂

[@Nred9999]

will never ever forget how PS3 roared back during its final years before the PS4 era began.. Still the best console i ever owned

[@NFSBeast2365]

The PS3 is so good, I use 2 models to this day. My third is retired.

[@StormDankers]

Me too man, a lot of nostalgia for that era of gaming and with its free Psn online I love booting up the old call of duty’s lol

[@ONLY-HYBRIDS]

switching from ps2 to ps2 damnnn mannn the jump it was the biggest leap in the history of console graphics.

[@zusk8556]

I got a PS3 a couple months ago solely to play Twisted Metal. Then I got hooked on Soul Calibur IV and I've been playing that nonstop. Only issue is that the PSN stuff doesn't work whatsoever, so I can't download any themes or DLC.

[@carpaltunnelmcgee587]

Still have mine, and still happy with it! Love the ps3!

[@mikewright8304]

My ps3 and ps2 get regular workouts. I 100% agree with this video

[@shahryar]

I've actually got two PS3s right now. One's the OG 60GB fully backwards compatible one and the other's the 80gb MGS semi-backwards compatible one. I keep the 60 GB one in 4:3 mode connected to a CRT TV to play PlayStation 2 games on. The 80gb one I keep connected to our LED TV for the PS3 games. Still today, both systems are actively used.

[@xHighRoller]

Also as a Platinum Hunter i still love my PS3 for all the hidden & perfect gems on this system… having most of your favorite games 100% Platinum is Golden for me

[@carpet163]

So many good games on the PS3. GTA IV is usually on my rotation of games and since jailbreaking it last summer I've been using it a lot more nowadays even with having a ps4 and ps5.

[@blackpowder99]

I'll never let go of PS3 or its games... Madden 11 for example is the best football game out there to this day.

[@cultivatedgamer]

PS3 is my favourite console of all time. Just subbed your channel. Have a great day!

[@sergeilikhomanov8638]

Now i am playing so many ps3 games that i missed back that time, holy hell, Motorstorm trilogy is still a blast, one of the best racing games, House of the Dead Overkill, Dead Space Extraction, soon i hope to play Resistance 3. Killzone 2 ana 3 are still amazing games. All you need is big TV ang great acoustic system

[@XV-IV]

Turning my PS3 into the media Hub of the house is what I've been looking to do, just need the best hard drive I can get for it and then we'll be talking. Props man, 'Long Live Play' as they used to say.

[@Farrell0208]

The PS3, especially the FAT PS3 was a very big turning point for console gaming. Tbh I’m surprised less the fact you have one and more the fact it STILL runs!!

[@patkelley8293]

I love my PS3. Earlier editions heat up. I have about 6 consoles and switch out every month. Each console has its own feel and catalog.

[@anthonyjodoin9049]

2023 was my first time owning a ps3 and im picking up games like the last of us and uncharted at random thrift shops or collectibles places for like 5 bucks a game

[@edgardls95]

I use mine to store all of my 1080p movies(720p when 1080p is larger than 4gb, which is ps3 transfer size limit)

[@TheMcrico84]

I bought mine like 3 months ago. In like new condition. Opened it cleaned it, delid both chips , reapplied thermal paste and all pads. It runs like new. Mod it and added all the games i was never able to buy when young the console is amazing

[@cabbitkisser2620]

the good side about the ps 3. you can find games for it at yard sales - thrift stores & flea markets for dirt cheap.

[@gray-fox6789]

There are lots of games that you can only play on the ps3 alone, no other consoles. I still hook up my ps3 to my tv, one of the best console ever.

[@666dandark]

Maaaaan I never thought that retro gaming would be so “modern” lol, great video. I also own the OG PS3 however I’m a little afraid it might YLOD

[@modbox9560]

Cfw webman ceah01 still strong fan idle bumped up on cold started tdp temps

[@modbox9560]

You need good quality thermal paste like MX and cfw so the fan doesn't heat up solder balls for hours on idle 10percent stock fan settings are not enough cooling especially when you start playing games only kicks up to 20percent

[@Whyteeford]

I still have my FAT PS3....still play it once in a while. Never had any issues, all USBs still work. Greatest console ever built, technology wise

[@NoctisStrife88]

Ps3 and ps2 have the best game line up. Hell in thinking of finding a backwards ps3 abs I'll be in heaven

[@SuperZippyzippy]

I played my ps3 today.. alice returns.. underrated game
