Playstation 3 Startup Sound Explained

[@justgrayyy105]

The first Gen startup before the “PS3” update in 2009, was honestly the best. Still brings a tear to my eye

[@captain1334]

You can mod the ofw firmware to use the og startup sound and still play online but the ofw firmware need to report everything as normal so the console can’t detect if the firmware is modified witch is not impossible but very difficult because modifying the ofw firmware causes it to become cfw Cfw means Custom firmware and ofw means official firmware so it’s hard to make it report as ofw but like I said it’s hard but not impossible

[@captain1334]

Or just use a moded console and a stealth server

I hacked my ps3 slim last night to bring back the classic playstation 3 startup sound including the playstation 3 logo jingle whenever you get into a ps3 game. Worth the nostalgia and great memories I have of 2006-2007 🥲

Ah, the nostalgic memories of 5 year old me arriving to my grandma's and quickly rushing to my uncle's room to turn on that fat ps3 and either watch my brother play cod warfare or play a game that by today i think everyone forgot about since it keeps getting pulled from the playstation store. Nostalgia nonetheless, great vid.

aaahhh, i remember the days i got it for Christmas 4 years ago. i heard that startup sound and was filled with joy (keep in mind this was a hand-me-down console from my cousin).

[@vitormalho5705]

I always felt like the startup tune was an orchestra tuning up. But never went to a performance, so couldn't be 100% sure. 2 days ago I finally went to one, and said to my girlfriend, " this sounds like the ps3". She laughed. And 2 days later I come across with this gem of a video. Brilliant! Thank you so much. Got a subscriber here. 😊😊

[@thisunknownusername]

alright, now time to wait for the ps4 startup explained to come out in the next year or so.

The PS3 also wasn’t my first HD console purchase. The honour went to the Xbox 360 since the closest thing I had to an HD display was a 16:10 non-HDCP compliant monitor. It had a more PC monitor friendly video output with a VGA cable option. Later on I did embrace the Sony ecosystem and wish I’d have done so sooner.

These startups and their inception are some of the most inspiring things.

Cell processor was so complex to operate on that most games were performing worse than on X360 On the other hand it is said that Cell is as powerful as some modern top Intel/AMD processors, if it's potential is utilized in 100%. Naughty Dog managed to get their grip on Cell architecture, resulting in such amazing games like Uncharted 3 or The Last of Us

The new PS3 start up is making me nostalgic, i remember going with my friends at our local DVD and game store that also has a playroom, PS3s and PS4s then, now it's mostly PS5s. Back in 2014-2015 I'd go with them and play BO2 split screen. Good times

I still use mine. My favourite videogame so far. I had Nintendo 64, GameBoy, PlayStation 2 and I played my friends PSOne and Xboxes. This is the best one. So complete. I love the Blu-ray thing, the internet thing. The boot sounds. My most played videogame.

Imagine going to a real life theatre and you hear your PS3 starting up

[@MadameSomnambule]

This was the first playstation console I bought with my own money and I mainly got it for ps2 games only to find that it was a later model that didn't support that. So I ended up getting the Ratchet and Clank HD remasters instead. Those were pretty cool. ^_^ The fact you can play blurays on it was a big bonus for me, I ended up watching Inside Out on it and loved it from start to finish.

[@lakerskid2013]

It was Christmas 2011 and I was so excited with getting a PS3, which I played on the Slim for a few years until October 2014 when I bought the Super Slim that was the first console I ever completely owned, but sold it in February 2018. Had so many great memories with the Slim though, definitely want to get myself one of those again and a Super Slim as well.

i have every playstation from ps1 to ps4 i never knew that i will be so lucky if i save them, now im waiting for ps5 to be available

[@ParametricAvocado]

AFAIK The PS3 startup sound is meant as a buildup for the following Playstation 3 logo when running a game, just like in the PS1 and PS2 eras, but that was later removed. I could never witness that feature as my first PS3 was a 3.55 Slim and I've always felt like I missed on that tiny aesthetic experience.

[@Chrominance87]

I still own this exact PS3 today.

[@RockmnX37]

Thank you so much for this.

[@thegreenscreengeek]

On a CFW jailbroken PS3 you can change the startup sound to whatever you want. Restored the pre-2009 startup sound that way

[@brandonperez8977]

2:55 LOL!!! I have a fat PS3 and I truly missed the classic version because I like to hear the Jingle tone when I start a PS3 game. The last time I saw was when my dad rented Tekken 6 from Blockbuster that updated our PS3 that time.

[@JustSomeDinosaurPerson]

Wonderful video, but this is honestly one of many reasons of why the ps3 fell short to me: the fact that the startup sound is just a recording of an orchestra warmup. It lacks personality to me.

My loved ps3 fat console sadly got the yellow light after 9 years of fun. Recently I got a working ps3 slim and the ps4 is now collecting dust under my bed.

[@inculetbogdan]

Its sounds like the beginning of simphony of destruction by megadeth

[@MasaCheez]

EXACT same sound

[@lakerskid2013]

I never got to experience the first version of the startup (got a Slim as a Christmas present in 2011, still have the same PSN account) but I think the second one is better. It’s much more simplistic and doesn’t feel forced like the first one does.

[@pete9365]

6:42 I think this was a major reason why sony kept the playstation 2s analog output cable, lots of people (myself included) had no idea what HDMI was and only had CRT televisions, and at the time I just assumed it would work. Its a shame you didnt buy one as you would have still been able to use the thing.

[@ramucon2529]

I got my PS3 today, it arrived in the mail, so I had to unpack it and use it. i´m so happy with my new PS3 console😁 Saturday last week i ordered my PS3 on Amazon. I was testing if my PS3 really works and yes, it works perfectly! Maybe i´ll buy some more PS3 Games^^

I don't think the sound was coped with the word play in that dedication. I think just like an orchestra prepares to play beautiful music which is entertaining. The ps3 gives you that same feeling. It prepares to entertain you in any way possible. It isn't just a gaming console but an entertainment system that provides way more than just games.

The PS3 can output to composite using the same cable the PS1 and 2 use so back then you didn't technically need a high definition display. Unless you specifically wanted the higher resolutions to which you definitely needed such a TV.

[@Nitrocosm]

Yeah. I knew it had analog output but figured there wasn't a point in spending that kind of money until I was able to enjoy the graphics properly.

[@93matarl]

Sony should had gone with synthesizing it's allot cooler and saves space on the PS, not that it needed to do that but still, i find it interesting how much the startup sound has changed since PS1, and PS1 is ASMR as hell with some nostalgia sprinkled on top of it.
