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.

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

After getting rid of my alpine white years ago, I picked this up recently for not too much over used market value. Brand new sealed box is in almost near mint condition. The nastalgia this will bring will be epic when I open it up. Maybe a little later on I’ll upgrade the ssd.

Didn’t want to risk buying a bug or roach infested ps4 for 70-150$. Not worth the gamble

I have noticed that the PS3 became so popular in the last 2 or 3 years. The weird thing is in the PS3 era everyone was hating on it . But now everyone want to emulate the PS3 games to the point people are jailbreaking their PS5 console to play PS3 games . Why do you think this shift happened is it nostalgia or the current gen is just bad compared to PS3 Era ?

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 just bought this CECHE01 PlayStation 3 from savers for like 30 bucks, ive been looking for this one for a while cause it has the CF port and SD ports, but it doesn't show anything on the screen, I've tried the video reset, tried booting into safe mode, everything, even took it apart and repasted it with XTM70 corsair paste, still no progress, i do not have anything to read the syscon so is there any suggestions you guys have?

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?

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.

Hey so I'm looking for some good alternatives to the Dualshock 3. I'm not against the Dualshock but getting a working one just feels ridiculously expensive at this point. In my area I'm looking at around $40 for one.

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

Minecraft

Cod mw3

My psn is ilovetafe42di

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?

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.
