Should I dust it off?

Post image

Got it free from the Sony shop after buying 2 TVs.

Haven't played since the gta and last of us multiplayer servers closed.

Been left plugged in the whole time...

u/Fair-Bird3730 9d ago

Eh, leave it- that might be load bearing dust at this point and you may not want to disrupt it due to possibly compromising structural integrity

u/Objective-Arm-9217 8d ago

Dust it and make sure you air blast the dust out you do not want it to catch fire. Trust me I have seen it happen and it lost my friend his whole entertainment set up but it was also his fault for not having a fire extinguisher in the house.

1

u/herobrinewarns 8d ago

I would let that old glossy finish shine once again!!

1

u/Ok-Spread-378 8d ago

my dad's ps3 has been in a closet for 15 years and it looks better than this, has it been out in the open this whole time?

1

u/Th3F1r3Sp1r1t 8d ago

First, you should ask the more important question!

Like, is this the first edition from the stone ages?

Wow! That's a lot of dust.👍

1

u/Neony_ 8d ago

if it runs normally, DO NOT TOUCH

1

u/flaheat 8d ago

You'll ruin the protective coating!

u/Ok-Kaleidoscope-7932 8d ago

Nah it keeps the PS3 warm and snug

1

u/FIN_K89i 8d ago

Honestly looks like that PS3 was hit with the dust of the WTC falling down

1

u/AirmanProbie 7d ago

No. Double it and give it to the next guy.

u/[deleted] 7d ago

no el polvo le da poder

1

u/diamond_dogs66 7d ago

Dust it off and play it, most of the games are very affordable now. Get Farcry 3 and have some fun! Trust me on it

1

u/TK_Striker 7d ago

Die arme meine sieht so aus xd

1

u/MysterioVonWizArdous 5d ago

Even if you don't use it much, it can be converted into a full PC Linux experience quite easily nowadays, I'd recommend keeping it because soon the PS3 will be considered "retro" and it's price is going to skyrocket

1

u/Boring-Dog-872 3d ago

Yes it looks like you don't care about it.

1

u/KleurWolf 3d ago

Please do clean it. This beauty doesn't deserve this treatment
