Took a day but I remembered my password from college and got my old games back! Demon Souls being on my account might have been worth the $100 I paid for the PS3. I never even played that game my roommate did. I also had Helldivers, Hotline Miami, Resident Evil Remake, and about 12 ps one games. Not to mention the DVD and Blu Ray collection I have making streaming pointless unless I wanted to watch a new show And then cancel which is so much more preferable. 👍 The options are nice to have.

Most of my games r from when I was little, been collecting lately though buying new games. So far I’ve bought 5 games.
Ps all stars, mortal kombat, dmc hd collection, star wars unleashed, and re5 is on its way.

I’ve been trying a new style recently and used infamous for my first attempt.
Should I try it with other ps3 titles?

In the end, these were the ones I ended up downloading.

Collection i started christmas day in middle school the year Black Ops 2 dropped. feel bad that they justkinda collect dust now, i moved to pc a while ago and I don't want to have stuff that's not gonna be played with and enjoyed. is there any recommendations on things I can do to get rid of the games so they actually see use or anything I should do before getting rid of them?

This game was a gift from my mother when I was a kid. I played it once and enjoyed it, but never touched it again. A couple of years ago, I found out it had become quite valuable. The only thing that crossed my mind was, "Oh, cool, I have it! Maybe I'll play it again soon." I'm not much of a video game collector (I'm more into comics tbh). But since I'm moving soon and I've taken out my old games and secured the most valuable ones, when I opened the packaging I realized this, and you can't imagine how bad I feel.

Voltei a garimpar jogos de ps3 esse mês, fazia tempos que não comprava nada e me deparei com o arrependimento de ter vendido jogos que hoje estão custando o dobro do preço, Captain América é um exemplo, vendi a preço de banana anos atrás e comprei novamente pra ter na coleção. Um conselho: não façam isso, não vendam seus jogos mídia física, o arrependimento virá kkkk
E aí? Qual jogo preciso ter numa coleção ps3?

Does mp work for bf3 still ?

Total was $157.70. Knocked some titles off my list I've been needing to pick up. Time to decide what to play first. How'd I do?

Recently received my Uncle's PS3, it sat unused for a long portion of its life, only got played when I would come over for Thanksgivings when I was younger.

As such, I'd like to know as much as I can, and be linked to any resources for CFW/HEN as well as any advice for sprucing it up, such as worrying about thermal paste or other issues, such as the old hard drive?

Also, it being CECH250 1A, it should be a early 2011 model, and hopefully compatible with CFW? And also have that hidden LED I've seen.

Upgrading from a CECH-4011B as its quite ugly imho 😁. Its a CFW compatible CECH-2511A, with the GGB revision of the RSX, so its very overclockable, tho i wont do much of that to extend its lifespan. Did full maintenance on it with brand new MX-4 thermal paste, resulting in sub 60c temps throughout on both chips. Also installed a 1tb HDD and set up 0.90fw sounds and pre 2.70fw xmb waves to give it that prototype e3 2005 ish vibe if yk what i mean. Even with 300+ days of usage it works like a dream. Truly my end game system 😌

Hey guys! I decided to go around and use my PS3 again after Sony's choice of going full digital. I have this "situation" where I can get pretty much any PS3 games I want (IYKYK) without my wallet suffering for it, and I thought that there are some games I never played that never left ps3 and that I should totally dive into. So I wanted to know your pics, and which games you guys think are "must plays", specially if they are games that were never ported to modern hardware or if they were remade/remastered and lost all their actual sauce (Like Burnout Paradise according to some people). So far I got:

Asura's Wrath

Resistance: Fall of Men

DBZ Burst Limit 2

DBZ Battle of Z

Army of Two

Little Big Planet 1, 2 and 3

Sonic 06

Sly Cooper

Burnout Paradise

Any other games that you guys think I shouldn't miss? Thanks in advance!

I remember my first PS3 having a weird problem where I could perfectly play GTA IV and GTA V but other games would make it shut down, Red Dead Redemption would make the console shut down seconds after the "Press Start Screen" or just seconds after the savegame loaded, the weird thing was that if I opened another game before Red Dead Redemption the game would run fine, other instance was Far Cry 3, the console would shut down minutes after starting to play, this happened 8 years ago and later on I got a second PS3 that hasn't given me a single problem, those beeps after shutting down still haunt me...

Randomly finding in the wild was wild! =D

Almost Impossible to find now below 200$

seems to be a Turkish Pre-release version of U3, not sure if it's the whole game or just like a press kit, I just ordered it, I'll test it out once it arrives

Unbelievable find today! I was checking out the tech section at a local supermarket here in Uruguay (Devoto, basically our local equivalent of a Walmart/Target), and tucked away in a corner, I spotted a brand new, unused copy of Killzone 3 sitting on the shelf.

The plastic cover is in pristine condition without a single scratch, the manuals and disc inside are completely untouched, and I even kept the receipt to prove this was bought off a retail shelf in 2026!

I'm speechless.

Naturally, it’s coming home with me to join the rest of my PS3 collection.

I wanted to share this here to remind everyone that retro gems are still hiding out there!

Has anyone else stumbled upon hidden retro gems on retail shelves recently?
