I started out in january and have managed to get over 400 plus games. Some of the games have really started to explode in price lately which is since now we are close to the 20 year nostalgia bubble and with 360 shutdown store also effecting certain ps3 game prices. it is only a matter of time until it becomes too expensive. Still aside from a few most are still below 100 and large 2/3 are still below 50 so if u wanna grab them while still cheap, now is the time to do so.

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Wow 😳 that's a crazy amount of games you have there! I agree, I'm sure they'll be going up in price especially with the 360 store now closed. I have many more games I'm interested in getting for the PS3 but not in a rush. Plus it's also hard for me since I'm collecting for other consoles too. I just got back a GameCube so I'm collecting for that as well which of course is more pricey than than the PS3

[@kevinkarlsson1151]

Dude The PS3 is just legendary, and the PS3 era. I hope we play online sometimes

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Definitely!! I agree and I'm actually on the PS3 now, recording some footage to upload in a few on here and we definitely should play sometime. I want to start playing GTA 4 again and I need to get a few more online games like Black Ops 2!

[@tokindaily7103]

I too started a ps3 collection yesterday.

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Wooo! That's great, there are so many PS3 players still out there and I love it. Enjoy collecting for it, you won't regret it and it's very cheap right now to do it

[@BrokenR2]

Awesome video. I collect ps3 also. If you are looking for a good game. (My opinion) try The club. Also I really recommend jailbreaking your ps3 with hen. If you are into that kinda stuff. Helps with preserving the laser on the ps3. Also you can backup your physical collection.👍

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Thanks man, I appreciate it! That's good that you collect as well, I'm glad to know that to be honest. I think I have heard of the club, I will check it out. Lol the ps3 I had before I had modded it with hen but I decided I didn't want it anymore. I know it's go to preserve the laser, I've heard of that and backing up my collection but I will be fine without but thank you for the suggestion! ☺☺

[@CraigTucson]

PS3 collecting is affordable.... for now lol. It will catch up to ps2 and gamecube soon.

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Lol I hope not anytime soon but it will catch up to them. There are many PS2 games that aren't that expensive though! Well at least the ones I want and Gamecube smh forget about it with that console. I wanna collect for it but that will really hurt me financially haha

[@saltyseahawksfan8462]

I still play my ps3 to this day man Fire video

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

I'm very happy to see many commenting here to tell me they still play the ps3. I love it and hope we all continue to keep it alive and thanks man, I appreciate the comment and the sub too ☺🙏

[@FFruinmylife]

What do you mean underated console? 😂

[@Official9TIMES]

this is cool dude im doing the same thing and collecting PS1 and 2 games for my FAT PS3 its amazing great video brother

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Thanks bro and oh wow, I like that and you have a big collection of PS1/PS2 games or not yet? I'm still collecting as well for those consoles but mostly on the PS3 because it's cheaper at the moment but I have a few PS1 games I wanna get back soon! 🙏🏽😊

[@demetriusb.7885]

I still play the PS3 to this day lol thought I'd help a brother out just subcribed to your channel. I thought this video was very helpful for me because im still planning on getting some PS3 games Lol. Stay safe man. glad to see individuals such as yourself still playing the PS3.

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

That's great you still play it to this day too! It's a great console and I have many more games I would like to get for soon down the line and thank you, I really appreciate it with the sub bro 😊 and I am glad this video was helpful too. Good luck with the hunt for some more games by the way and yeah, it's nice to find others out there that still play older consoles. I always have respect for that and same to you, stay safe!

[@demetriusb.7885]

@@jowellgamingshow6907 thankyou! For the kind words! if I may ask do you have any recommendations for some good PS3 games?

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

@@demetriusb.7885 You're welcome! Umm, minus the ones I showed I can't really think of any right off except for FEAR and Dragon Ball Z Budokai Collection. I forgot that I have Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkachi coming in the mail today, I was going to wait on it and then do this video but I felt like doing this today. lol

[@safedreams6241]

Hello from France, I started my collection of PS3 games a few months ago. I benefit from the fact that the prices are still affordable but the games are becoming expensive for some. there are really a lot of good games. Looking back, it's my favorite console.

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Hey, welcome 😁 you're probably my first international viewer on here haha but that's great! Hope all is well over there in France! Yeah, it's a very great console and very great games on it too that I'm still getting. Ones I've never had before and others I have had on the Xbox 360 back then. The games honestly are not too much from what I've seen over here the USA on eBay but still better to get them now before it gets even more expensive 🙏🏽

[@RubyJones-zj4fu]

I choose 360 over ps3 because almost every thing got a ps4 , ps5 remake or a better running version on 360 . I miss resistance fall of man

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

We are both alike with that, I chose 360 as well. It was great back then but after getting a PS3 now, I'm kinda enjoying it more lol but I do agree 💯 and I've never played Resistance but I know of it.

[@VideoGamesFreakk]

Im creeping up on 500 games. Going for a full NTSC set

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Damnnn!! That's crazy!! You have a huge collection I see but that's good and I want to do the same with a NTSC collection but not 500 games lol

[@rcruz2008]

Nice collection and great games. I love my PS3 and PS4

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Thanks man, I appreciate it and we are just alike!! I love them both and also my PS2 ☺☺

[@LatashaMoore-y7r]

I'm grateful to you for showing me your video games you always been nice honest person 😌 ✨️

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

I just now saw this but thank you!! ☺☺

[@roninstormYT]

dude did you sell your switch bro i keep both off them man you wont be able too play mario odessy and zelda breath of the wild 2 you missed out .or did you rebuy the switch and only did that video for views . i want too rebuy the ps3 and slim or super slim because my phat model died in 2016 and your missing out on super mario rpg remake the new peach game and you can buy all the pikmin games 1 2 3 4 . i just got 1 2 3 now i need 4 for my collection on switch also i would love the ps3 only rachet and clank on the ps3 versions but i emulate them on the pc for my lets play channel witch is this one .

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

I sold my switch a long time ago and I didn't buy it back, I was considering it but not sure and which video you are talking about I did for views because I'm not one of these typical youtubers here that do that stuff or click bait. You are definitely new to my channel I can tell and I'm not missing out because many of those games you mentioned I don't want lol and I'm not missing out on anything because it won't kill me if I don't ever play them 😅you should get the ps3 back and get either one the super slim or the Fat either is fine bro

[@roninstormYT]

@@jowellgamingshow6907 also i am getting the slim because you can jail break all of them and play ps2 games .shoot iam keeping my switch .

[@RoboCop97]

I have a ps3 slim aswell They are very reliable Never broke on me i heard the original old fat ps3 is prone to overheating issues known as yellow light of death.

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

I never knew about that with the original model but I kinda had a feeling since the first models of PlayStations are usually prone to issues like the fat PS2 as well. That's good you have the slim too, I love it! The super slim is cool too but I rather this version, it feels more sturdy and not cheap lol

[@k.w.jennings4768]

It's a great system, often overlooked. I have been collecting for it 11 years. Great channel sir.

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

It really is! I have overlooked it for years back then especially when I was a Xbox 360 guy but now I love it and wow, you've been collecting for it for a long time now, that's good! And thanks man, I appreciate it.

[@ssjcookie5498]

Still have my ps3 slim (with hen installed) and play it regularly, i have about 200 physical games for it and a bunch of digital games, love the console, although i have a ps5 lately i play more on ps3 Edit: currently playing trough dark souls 2 with the servers going down this March 31 on ps3

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

That's awesome and that's the one I originally had with hen installed but I like this version more and I didn't want it modded anymore but it is great to have modded though and you play it more than ps5? That's interesting, I would have done the same lol That sucks about the servers on dark souls 2 and I never knew they were still up. I'm wondering if the servers are still up for gta 4, call of duty, and wwe games on ps3. I hope they are 🙏

[@ssjcookie5498]

​@@jowellgamingshow6907 for going online, the call of duty games and gta 4 your are going to be your best chance to find people, maybe some fighting games, I remember some people still being online on DBZ xenoverse, like maybe a year ago, I am mostly a single player story oriented player although I do play multiplayer from time to time, I've played gta v for a while on ps3, like something over a year ago because the servers on ps3 where going down

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

3 years ago was the time to collect for the PS3. The games were priced 1/3 of what you paid for them. Now it's time to collect for the PS4.

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

They're still cheap now though lol maybe a little cheaper back then yes but still cheap for me at least. Well, PS4 is still my current console and I have plenty of games for that already so technically I've been "collecting" for it for years now.

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

@@jowellgamingshow6907 I was getting PS3 games for about 5 bucks a piece. 15-20 dollars is tripling that amount. I was able to get the rarer games for that price. I paid 20 dollars for Lollipop Chainsaw then, but it's about 80-100 dollars now. Most PS4 games are cheap, it's a better time to snatch them up now then pay more for them later.

[@tyronesmith9267]

It ain't cheap if you go for sealed copies😅 cuz I do🤪

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Haha well I'm sorry! I forgot that there are some out there that collect brand new which I don't since it's expensive!! Lol but that's still good you have them sealed. I'd love to have that too 🥹😅

[@drjuice8358]

Trade expired

[@a88pockets]

I dig collecting games, but I more collect roms and isos. Whats the appeal of the physical product?

[@dxtremecaliber]

because collecting physical copies is the actual collecting aspect of it its fun and its cool to look at sometimes but i only collect my favorite game series and consoles

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

@@dxtremecaliber Exactly this! Also to add on to that it's not only fun but it's my passion and nostalgia to have these games back in my possession after many years of not having them since all of them I sold back then so yeah, like you said I only collect the games that I have had that are good and a few that I have always wanted. I rarely go out my way to get random games just cause it's cheap without knowing if it sucks lol

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

Having many roms and isos are okay too because I have many on my PS Classic but I rather having them physically over digitally, I'm also not a big fan of emulation but I use it for certain games that I am not certain if they're good and very expensive games I cannot afford.

Can you play All ps2 games for ps3 fat or jst some games?

[@jowellgamingshow6907]

I wouldn't know that because that's not the model I have. I just play my PS2 and PS1 games on my PS2

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

Only early versions. The fats with the flip cover does with original PS2 hardware. Then later ones only by emulation. Then the even later ones wouldn't even play PS2 games. I recommend getting a modded PS2 that plays all PS1 and PS2 games and region unlocked. It has problems playing E.U games because of the 50 Hz 60 Hz differences. But it plays Japanese games fine.

[@shorts26]

I had one you can play all but I had the original fat 1 there was another model after
