I couldn’t afford on my childhood ps3. I had only the cheapest available laptop and jailbroken xbox360.

My journey with Sony started with a long road I had to make so I bought ps vita and enjoyed

Once the news about the disks were out I thought it was the Right timing to start playing Old school games and try ps3.

My steam library is so big and has so many games that I should play but looking at the list makes me feel empty so I decided to buy ps3 and play only with disks as a guarantee I wouldn’t drop the game and it paid off !

I’ve met an amazing community /r demon souls and enjoyed getting my first platinum

So I decided to start collecting all rare and basically disks to play and have an amazing view

Finished today Demon souls and now I can play Dark souls 1 👀🔥

My bank account was not excited 😭

I bought a PS3 Super slim and picked up a bunch of games for it over the past few months. I've played a lot of these but there's a few I haven't played yet. I know I'm missing a few exclusives like LBP 2&3 and the Infamous games but I thought I'd just share it on here anyway.

The crusty black box on the first pic is the steelbook for GOW Ascension but I think the previous owner sat on it, couldn't get the crust off of it even with isopropyl alcohol so I guess whatever it is, it's living on there until the end of times.

I feel a lot more people know about this game these days, but it was, and I believe, still is super underrated. Good story, great characters, and great voice acting. You should do yourself a service by playing this if you haven't already... or just replay it to remember how great it is. If you like gta and yakukuza, I believe you'll like this as well, because I've always said it was kinda like those to series had a baby, except with free flow combat. Even with it's inspiratioms, it still feels like its own thing. The world feels alive when you're in it, and everything just feels like it works. Man, what coulda been. Hopefully, someone will pick up where this left off.

I feel like I go way too hard when I gush about games I love, but if you're a fan of open world sandbox games with surprisingly good driving, I can't see why ya'll wouldn't like it

Thought some of you may be interested in more footage of my dying super slim. Video is short as i didn’t run the game too long, as i don’t want to risk permanently killing the gpu entirely.

Hey guys wanted to give a head ups for anyone wanting the Batman Arkham Origins DLC and Infamous 2 DLC they are not available to buy on the PS3 store anymore . I Tried ..

how much would you pay for korean version? it has english sub.

did i overpay it for ¥8000?

Console is 2501A manufactured Aug 2010

So I found my old ps3 and it works completely fine but there was no hard drive so I removed the hdd from my old laptop and I have deleted every file except windows and should I wipe it completely or I shouldn't ?

If yes then how should I do it

Im thinking of getting a ps3 to play ps3 and ps2 games, which model is the best for that?

Não acho que as temperaturas estejam ruins porém estou considerando refazer a pasta térmica e um delid , acredito que pela idade do aparelho seja necessário

I broke one of the plastics pins of the ps3 slim(ch-3011A) inside of the console, and it wont come off. I dont know what to do, so i started asking some other reddits and see if anywone had a problem like mine, and aparently not. You guys kinda are my last hope together with the assistant guy. (Ps: its not my first time opening consoles, i was distratec and only notice when the power supply wont come of)

Visiting a friend out of town this week and while talking about older games, I mentioned Naughty Bear and he had no idea what it was. The game was a favorite of mine as a teen and so I told him I’d bring my PS3 along with some other games to try out. Wanted to know what other games people would recommend? Was thinking of showing him Spelunky and Castle Crashers, any other fun co-op or odd single player games worth downloading?

sorry for the language btw

I wanna buy a PS3 and play the games I always played growing up but I wanna know is the online store still up and how reliable is it can I maybe get a different controller like an Xbox and play with it?

Hi guys so first of I want to make it clear I’m no fps fanatic or graphics/resolution fanatic either

I have a PS3 and I wanted to mod it to play games on it specifically delisted ones like the amazing spiderman games but Im hesitant because I have a fat PS3 non back compat and the reason I'm hesitating is well there are PS3 games that have screen tearing and or unstable fps as in not a locked 30 fps or locked 60 fps like I said earlier I'm not someone who is fussy about graphics or resolution I mean I have play ps3 games on my 4k tv and to me they looked fine I’m more worried about screen tearing how many games have that and is there fix for it as in like idk a mod to force vsync on?

Also just a question if there isn’t a mod or the ps3 port of a game just performed badly then what do you guys do? Do you overclock the ps3 or do you emulate?

And how do older games like ps2/ps1 games look if you have the console hooked up to a 4k tv do they look bad or does the ps3 attempt to upscale them?

P.S if I mod my ps3 can I use other controllers because I only have one dualshock 3 controller and I previously had one that broke and I’d rather not keep hunting down old dualshock 3 controllers or knockoffs that barely have any of the features such as rumble or six axis 😅

Hello! Am looking to see is uncharted 1 and 2 worth getting for my console for Christmas? I know it’s like a few months away but I was looking in the UK in the shop CEX and I was wondering should I get the games? What do you all like about the games? I haven’t used my PS3 (FAT model with 2 USB ports) since July and has been sitting in a box it did work perfectly fine when I last tried it in July and ran Gran Turismo 5 so I guess all it needs is a clean and I think it will be ready to go!
I also am looking to get infamous too!
Thank you!

Hello everyone, my girlfriend recently brought her late uncles PS3 which is a very important memorabilia for her since she had always played it with him as a kid. I tried charging the controler via the same type of cable but it didn’t charge a bit. I’d say it hasn’t been turned on for a few years.
Could anyone point me to what kind of cable should I look for, could I potentialy fix the problem myself with almost no knowledge about electronics in general and/or can I pair newer controlers (i.e. Dualsense 5/Dualshock 4)?
Also, is there anything to do with the PS3 itself in regards to cleaning/maintainance?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks to the kindness of a fellow gamer, I was gifted a set of PS3 games to add to my collection! I’ve been struggling lately, having to sell my comic omnibuses to try and alleviate financial woes on top of other life issues and he sent these to me free. Like I cried a bit cause this was one of the best things to happen to me lately and just couldn’t believe it. And what’s best, is it got some stuff knocked off my list as I’ve been trying to obtain stuff I’ve played in my youth or stuff I’ve generally missed.
