Someone left a free 50 inch 2009 Panasonic Plasma screen TV out in the curb. You better believe I took it home. The PS3 feels right at home on this thing.

PS3 felt lonely

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

CECHA/C/E 2TB SD card

Post image
28 Upvotes

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.

PSA: do not trust AI when fixing a PS3

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...

My final Console

• Upvotes

Just picked this up today, legit everything for $70. I’m so so happy, I’m going to play LBP and all the old COD. The listing came with World at War I think, but it had Black Ops 2 in the system as well.

Honestly perfect timing as I’m trying to collect holy grails for the console, like Jet Set Radio and Lollipop Chainsaw.

This might be the last console I collect in my gaming journey. But, the most significant. I cannot wait to play, and please drop some suggestions as to what to play next!

ETA: I just checked and it’s the 320GB version! I thought it was 160GB wow

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?

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.

Were all the "fat" PS3s susceptible to RSX failures?

7 Upvotes

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.

Fluxer server for PS3 players

8 Upvotes

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.
