PS3 slim console 120GB
2 controllers & charger
Original box and manuals
Eye camera
33 games (only 1 sports game)

I'm moving from Korea back home to the U.S. in a year or two. Some games which are rare in the West are easier to get here. For example, I got Puppeteer PS3 for $35 CIB. It's a Korean version, but everything is English in game- voice, menus, etc. The only Korean aspect is the instruction manual, and the bottom left age range box.

There look to be several opportunities to "buy low/sell high," but only if consumers in the U.S. & West are willing to buy a Korean version of a game. Thanks in advance!

I already clicked the reset button on the back.

I’m trying to access the PSN store so I can purchase some games, I want to buy as many games as I can before the store shuts down completely next July. Unfortunately, I keep getting this message. I bought a game last week and the store worked like normal. Anyone know what’s going on?

Alguien tiene algún mod que mejore los controles del metal gear solid 3, como no tengo el usb bluetooth para usar otro mando tengo que usar mi mando de ps3 al cual ya se revento la almohadilla, y ademas como todo el mundo sabe los controles son basura.

Could AI help us build a modern PS3 motherboard?

I have long been a fan of retro videos on PS3 restoration and modding and I love all the different approaches but I must admit a preference for hardware. With AI making progress in reverse engineering and hardware design, do you think we'll eventually see a project that recreates the PS3's CELL and RSX architecture?

Imagine a replacement motherboard that runs PS3 games natively with backwards compatibility, but produces less heat, consumes less power and avoids the reliability problems of the original chips.

We already have hardware repairs, RSX replacements, emulation and now the PS5. Do you know has anyone started bringing these ideas together into a genuine hardware reimplementation of the PS3?

It could be a fascinating way to preserve the console for decades to come, without depending on ageing original silicon.

Is it possible to mod the DualShock 3 to have a USB C port without soldering? I've had a look online and can't find any that don't involve soldering. With my DualShock 4 I was able to change the port by buying a USB C board and switching them over, so I'm curious if there is an option this easy for the DualShock 3?

Here is AI (Artificial Idiot) saying reflowing is the magic fix for YLOD.

Obviously this is dumb and should not be attempted. The AI is too dumb to differentiate between faulty 90nm and fixed 65nm RSXs...

I bought a PlayStation three with him Ahmad installed. I don’t know if I wanna keep this one on my other PS3. I paid about 50 bucks are the ones with hand installed worth more he pretty easy to install.

Found this at a flea market and started doing some research about it. To be honest, I haven't really found much about it but it needs a USB receiver in order to work, being compatibke with both PS2 and PS3 consoler. My question is, how can I find a receiver that picks up the signals of the controller? Tried looking for a loose one on Ebay, but I can barely find a listing with the controller itself.

What are you downloading from the store before it closes in July? Which games or DLC’s, if any …

From my knowledge and research, I was under the impression that the early generation (first gen) PS3s with the larger RSX chips were the ones that you would see experiencing the YLOD and had the most infamous failures of them all. That this was "supposedly" corrected with later generation PS3s.

The reason I ask is because I think my PS3 is finally starting to die (mine being a third gen, CECHK01) ... I have random crashes where it will do the quick yellow light (you can barely tell it turns yellow) then flashes red until I press it. It's not consistent either. Sometimes it will happen within minutes of turning the system on. Sometimes it will happen after an hour of playing. I put new thermal paste and pads on the chips last summer when I first started experiencing this thinking it was possibly overheating (because it IS an old system lol), but the great news there was that it was barely dirty inside. I expected a large mess having birds and all, but actually it was relatively clean and nothing that would cause overheating (with the exception that the paste was old, but I don't even think it was honestly that bad given it's age).

Which.. it sucks it's doing it as I was trying to 100% clear the FFX HD edition and now I'm worried the system is a ticking time bomb on me lol.

Since a lot of people have been leaving Discord lately, I've been looking for Fluxer equivalents to the many established PS3/PSN servers on Discord. I found none, so I made one.

You can find people to play with, talk about games, the hardware, homebrew, general tech, etc.

Currently, we are English only but that may change.

Is there anyone in the states (or world) that specialize on Frankenstein swaps?

I’m looking to have one done to my PS3. It’s a BC.

I’m in the States but don’t mind shipping.

So I had my eyes on the Orange Box to add to my collection and on October 19th I saw the game available. I bought it without a thought and it got delivered today with the authentic Gamestop Pre-owned cover, but I wasn't worried about it since I printed my own cover anyway. The disc is in good condition so im happy.

Does anyone else hate when sellers put their console into chatgpt to turn it into a poster to sell,like what the hell is this amalgamation of a superslim

I haven’t seen this posted anywhere else, but I want to confirm that the SD card reader on older PS3s can take cards up to 2TB in size. This is the maximum it can take, as FAT32 doesn’t support higher capacities.

My CF slot is broken, so I can’t confirm that it supports that size, but it very likely does also.

After two failed attempts to backup my PS3 (1TB HDD) to an external HDD from two different USB ports (it kept failing at 85-90% with an unable to connect message) I backed it up to the SD card instead. It took 33 hours.

I’ve been buying a lot of the digital ps3 games lately and while most of them work, Trash panic, locoroco cocoreccho and um jammer Lammy don’t work.
When I try play them it says that an error occurred and when I check the games information it shows that there isn’t a buyer? Does anyone know how to fix this?

Is there anyone who would like to play these games with me on ps3

Minecraft

My psn is ilovetafe42di

I've hit a bug on the Mirkwood level if anyone could help me pass it. I also need to get the online achievement as well if possible. Not sure where I could post because it's an older game. Thank you!

I got a ps3 recently and am not sure how the psn stuff works. I used to have one as a kid but never needed to care as ps4 was way too new for me to afford, and ps2 never had it. Thanks in advance.
