Something I rarely see people mention about the Super Slim is that it includes an eject button! Yes, there's a button that triggers a mechanism and opens the tray automatically. I always use it because I am pretty sure it can prevent the mechanism from getting worn out from being forcedly opened all the time.

This version of the PS3 I still own. Even though it had some overheating problems, but very rarley, I still love this console and it's still fully functional. Also 500 GB is good enough for A LOT of PS3 games. 7th generation didn't have a lot of games that are over 30 or 40 GB to play. So my PS3 collection has gotten very huge.

[@Asaylum117]

@@VladimirFlashbangX My PS3 fan overheated a few times and it turned the console off, but at the same time the fan sounded like it was about to explode, so I quickly took the power cable so that PS3 wouldn't die. But like I said, it happened to me very rarley. When it does happen, I let my PS3 chill for a bit and do other things like playing my PS2 or watch KZbin for example.

[@MiBrCo4177]

i recently downloaded all of my psn purchases on to my 500gb hdd. I have 51gb left. 91 ps3 games, 30 ps1 games, and 4 ps2 games. I hacked it to transfer them over to a 1tb external so I'll have them but definitely plan on getting a bigger internal hdd soon too.

[@brianp6859]

I literally bought a PS3 like 4 days ago this exact same model. The disc tray sliding around scared the shit out of me initially but now I think I like it. It's a little beast of a machine but it does feel very cheap.

[@GenX_in_the_wild]

They sold the PS3 super slim with lots of kids and family friendly bundles. Wonderbook, Move, Invizimals, Dinosaurs, etc. So find a used console from some mom. These consoles did not get much usage because PS4 was right around the corner. I bought 2 such "mom" consoles and they are basically like new.

At the time when the PS3 originally released a new Blu-ray player was about $800-$1000 compared to the PS3 at $600. In fact the Blu-ray player that was built into the PS3 was what justified the 600.00 price tag to most people at the time. Hgtv's were just coming around and everything was being compared to 720 and 1080p, and to be able to upgrade that majorly to a new Blu-ray player from a DVD player and be able to get the next generation gaming system all-in-one setup is what appeased to everybody. You have to remember at that time the Xbox 360 had an entire year ahead of the PS3 on release basically, they didn't have a built-in Blu-ray what they had was an additional add on that you had to buy which was HD-DVD, and nobody wanted to have to buy an additional drive play HD DVD discs. At that point people still hadn't forgotten about the betamax/vhs wars that happened in the 80s and we didn't even want to have to deal with that s***. PlayStation 3 certainly had a slow start at the beginning but they sure as s*** took it towards the end. I don't think it happened to be enough to win that generation of console wars but the system has sure as s*** aged better. Especially with the ability to be able to not have a proprietary hard disk drive and being able to upgrade it to an SSD.

[@ruperect1]

I'VE GOT TWO OF THESE THINGS. BOTH ARE 12GB SECOND HAND. GOT THEM IN 2020 FROM EBAY. THE REASON I WANTED THE 12GB VERSION IS BECAUSE I FIGURED, APART FROM BEING THE LAST VERSION SONY MANUFACTURED, THAT THEY WERE UNLIKELY TO HAVE BEEN USED MUCH. HARD GAMERS ARE'NT GOING BUY A CONSOLE WITH SUCH A SMALL STORAGE CAPACITY. I WAS RIGHT BOTH ARE IMMACULATE. I SIMPLY INSTALLED AN SSD IN EACH WHICH TOOK FIVE MINUTES. AND I STILL USE THEM.

[@GenX_in_the_wild]

Very smart thinking.. I have 2 12gb versions too. You can install an SSD anytimes.. You are right. There where almost no additional games with it. Controller where like brand new. These are "mom" consoles bought for their kids and because it was a great price.. No real hardcore gamers..

I like the super slim. My original ps3 started having issues. I bought a slim and the disk eject started giving me issues within a few months. No worries about that with the super slim.

[@ViciousFirearms]

Would the super slim not be able to read discs if the disc tray door somehow broke because of someone continually forcing it open by hand instead of using the button to open it?

[@teleskopossomnium]

Yup. The slim imo looks the best, but super slim is solid

[@Redrum_Samm]

I recommend installing MultiMan and Hen on your SuperSlim. Install your games onto hard drive. Can save disc drive and game discs from wear n tear. Can attach a two terabyte external hard drive. Installed just over 80 games onto hard drive. Still got about a terabyte left

[@GenX_in_the_wild]

I had a PS3 slim since 2010.. I sold it last year.. This year I got a super slim, and I can tell you the real world difference: The size difference is substantial. The new model fits on my desk and it just looks more modern. It feels fresh and cool again. The disc tray looks cheap, but it works just fine. My super slim is actually really quiet. It is quieter then my PS3 slim. In the end this is a nice little machine and to me because of the new design it really made me love the PS3 again. I never wanted one. I always thought it is a cheap value model. But now I love it..

[@stashmerkin9576]

I have a white super slim and it's been nothing but reliable. If you're concerned about the door breaking I recommend using the open button on the right. The door will gently slide open. It may be because I have the white model but I don't think it looks cheap at all. Looks rather sharp sitting next to my silver PS2 slim!

[@guristaex3119]

Love this guys voice. Reminds me of goodfellas gangster like 😅 great video 👍🏻 just picked up a super slim as it was the only ps3 version i didnt own....now i feel somewhat complete until i think of something else that i " need " to own 😬

I added an official vertical stand to my super slim and now it looks kinda neat! It was like 12€ on Amazon, it’s definitely a great addition to this model.

[@Simoss13]

My personal fav console was the Slim Model. In particular the 3000B variant where they upgraded the GPU slightly so it runs slightly cooler and quitter than previous slim models

[@XeroCool420]

Still remember when I went and got my first PS3 cuz I had a couple of them, I got every game that had been released what's the newest games to have been released at that time were Force unleashed and mortal Kombat versus DC, I got the remote and another controller and the exact total cost me $1,001 no cents I paid cash and walked out of Best buy with a huge bag feeling like a champ. The irony behind my PS3 adventure is that I got the first gen backwards compatible fat version and then that one died, had to transition over to a slim which ironically was lost because my ex-girlfriend took it for her son, and now I have a super slim which ironically was given to me by a buddy of mine who had to but didn't play video games and he decided to just keep one and give me one we had no idea if it worked it was full of wax and all other s*** but I cleaned it up and it works perfect. I even slapped in a 2 terabyte SSD and it was worth it

PS3 Super Slim had the 40nm CPU and later models 28nm GPU making them very quiet. Not a lot of heat produced by the dies. I use a PS3 slim to play all my PS3 games. I just use the PS3 launch model to play my PS2 games in higher resolutions.

[@boredstudent]

I used to have the fat model PS3 in 2009 until 2015 when it gave me the yellow light of death. I ended up calling Playstation support and ended up trading it in for a fee and I ended up with the super slim. I still have it to this day. I kinda wish I had waited a few months to get a PS3 because the slim models came out around September and I got my PS3 in April.

I still have the PS3 Slim 500GB model, although it can be a little finicky about reading discs sometimes. My other PS3, the 320GB model, doesn't have that problem.

[@JoeyAnswer]

After owning now, all three versions I still found the slim awesome, though the original design is classic. I absolutely do love the super slim to answer your question about the door. These are notorious for breaking. As long as the door is closed and the pin inside is pressed to read the disk you’re fine I have one that shouldn’t even boot but it does it’s partially broken. I resorted to keeping the lid off and also being it’s off the cooling is better being the outside air is being sucked in more then the inside system air. PS3 Hen is heaven on these too. These are much easier to service compared to the other two PS3’s which is a plus. If you’re lucky like me, I have the 12GB version so once you remove the SSD, HDD. It transfers your accounts and I believe saves too.

[@quallude1]

I love my super-slim. It has served me well over the years. I think it looks cool. Odd, but cool. As time goes by i think it will become alot more sought after because of its uniqueness

[@wrightlawgbc]

You can play ps2 games on a super slim using hen. It's not a full jailbreak, but it's definitely worth it for that added backwards compatibility. Plus you can backup your ps3 games.

[@LukeAkAscooterkid]

the ps2 did have a "super slim" of some sorts. They rammed the power supply into a slightly different slim casing, meaning no external power brick. I forget what version number it is.

I’m four months late replying to you, however, this is likely the most reliable PlayStation 3 model. It has a top- loading drive. They’re more reliable than a mechanical, slot- loading drive. In addition, the anodes are exposed; meaning, anyone can easily clean the laser lens. It’s not the prettiest model, necessarily, but it will last a long time.
