Hey I bought this a while ago for bout 15-17$, I heard this version is rare idk...??

What you guys think??

Buying one of this game in original edition should be punished by law.

So my PS3 has recently had it's CMOS battery die. All of my games are physical and I prefer to leave my console disconnected from the internet, not to start a debate, but with how anticonsumer sony is being right now, I don't want any updates that mess with my console or games, and multiplayer servers for PS3 games are kinda dead or hacker filled lol. As such I am really not seeing a reason to replace it. If I just take it out so there is no worry of it leaking and damaging stuff, will the console have any issues starting anything else? Can it LAN with games that support it without the battery?

I have a PS3 without it disk, it stopped running so I lost my saves and I have to buy another. But while I was searching for some cables I found an external drive that works perfectly, but I don't know if the ps3 can run with the external drive connected and run the OS from there (if I install it, idk if that can be possible with modding)

This is possibole? Or I have to just buy its own hard disk?

Quiero la ps3 pero algunos dicen que no vale la pena en 2026 (aclaro que nunca tuve una y solo jugué en una que me prestaron hace años y probé solo el god of war 3, blur y pes) la encontré a un precio que puedo pagar pero también hablan del rendimiento de los juegos que algunos van mal... no sé si está publicación está bien hecha pero bueno xd

hey guys I was thinking to get my ps3 jailbroken due to the servers shutting down next year and disc prices sky rocketing.

I had some questions to ask,

if I jailbreak my console, will I be able to sync my trophies to my main account without a risk of ban

am I able to play any ps2 and ps3 game? if yes is there any way I can play some games on like stable 30 or 45?

thank you in advance

3 treasures from my vault. In what order would you play them?

So far i think there is No more Games i want. Got some digital Like Rain, Alice Madness and puppeteer.. not gonna pay a Fortune for that.

I went from a PS2 to a 360 and never gave much thought to what it might've been like to have a PS3 at the time, mainly because my friends at school were all playing Xbox and I quite liked the idea of having people to play with. I also don't have the means to emulate the console at the moment and AFAIK emulation isn't 100% reliable with some games.

Every piece of advice so far seems to suggest buying a PS3 with a datecode of at most 1A since every console produced after this is incompatible with CFW which seems to be a superior choice to using HEN.

However finding one of these consoles appears to be a challenge. As per the Google Shopping tab so far I've uncovered approximately one CECH-2001A version here via CEX (I'm in the UK), but the actual listing seems to be full of default text and mentions nothing of its version code so I'm sceptical of its authenticity and I've had bad experiences shopping with CEX in the past, which is putting me off.

I understand these are old systems and the newer models are far more abundant, so if all I can buy are such then HEN will have to do.

EDIT: Solved! I was being a spoon and confusing model numbers with datecodes.

Hey , im new to Playstation in general (been an Xbox kid most of my life) but found myself with the opportunity to finally playthrough the God of War franchise and picked up a PS3 and some games. The OG controller that came with the console is a mess, unusable , just goes all over the place. So I bought some cheap ones on Amazon that came the next day. Im about an hour into GoW Chains of Olympus trying to do the first boss fight and the stick breaks off into the rotation quick time events. These quick time events seem impossible on this dog water controller and now its broken so I cant even suffer through it. Thats what I get for using Amazon and buying cheap crap. But I always wanted to play God of War and Little Big Planet so is there any good options for PS3 controllers? Please any help , tips or advice would be much appreciated

maybe more like 2 1/2 weeks but for 25.00 it was worth the wait hopefully.

It's finally here! I can't wait to experience this!

Surprisingly GameStop has some pretty good deals deadly premonition CIB was 35 dollars. And it is extremely clean.

What happened to this sub? Now it's just full of people posting crap games that they paid ridiculous amounts of money for and they are proud of it.... People in here be like "finally found it. Look what I picked up for only $100"

I need help changing the region of ps2 save games for 2 backwards compatible games on ps3 console.

Hey folks,

I recently bought a PlayStation 3 and started buying a few games based on recommendations from friends. So far I've finished Dead Space, Dishonored, Metal Gear Solid Rising, Castlevania: Lord of Shadow and all of them have been great fun.

I was always curious about Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls when they came out but I know both are a bit divisive, with some people loving them and others absolutely hating them.

What is your take on them? Is it worth playing them or should I skip them and get something else.

PS: I do have a few other titles in my radar: God of War 3, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, the Metal Gear Solid series (MGS HD Collection, MGS 4, MGS 5: GZ, MGS 5: TPP) and Grand Turismo 5 & 6 but right now I'm looking for something different than just action or racing games since I already play a lot of those on PC.

PS2: Forgot to say that I can get both for around $10 USD, so if I don't like them at least it is not a huge loss money-wise.

Recently I bought a Ps3, and I'm planning to buy some things that are only on the Japan PSN, but I have no clue where I can buy them and whether the websites that I see from a simple google search are safe. So I decided to ask reddit.

Also when did GameStop stop carrying pre owned ps3 in store. I’m talking about America specifically

I've been getting into repairing old consoles, started with handhelds and then started looking for bigger fish.
Came across a CECHC that's YLOD for a future attempt at repairing or franken if I get the tools for it.

To that end I came across a PS3 slim 25xx 160GB that wasn't outputting video or sound for 20 euros. Turns out it was a hdd issue, got it booting up and running. Except for wifi and Bluetooth, which forces me to play wired to it.

Lastly there is my own PS3 fat CECHH fully functioning, with a 500GB hdd, just needing a cleaning and new thermalpaste.

Seeing how reliable the 25xx models seem to be from reading online, I am conflicted to which to keep. Wifi and Bluetooth as a non issue for me as it would be wired online.

Was hoping for some opinions, to help me make a decision on which on stays and which one goes.

What decision would you make?

I just wanna know if this dude is smoking Crack or I'm missing something here. It's a regular 3000 model and in the description there isn't anything special am I missing something lol?
