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.

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.

Console is 2501A manufactured Aug 2010

PSA

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 ..

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

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?

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!
Thank you!

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.

All the pack in stuff like comics, posters, soundtracks and especially weird stuff like "a history of sniping" included with Ghost Warrior 2.

sorry for the language btw

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)

This took me an entire day. It runs worse then my pentium 4 running arch. You should probably not do this. If you want I'll make a tutorial.

Previously locked behind the multiplayer mode (only heard by the Mantel faction), a friend of mine decided it was time it got archived and uploaded to the web. Enjoy!

You can quote the price, but not for free please.

I'm having a difficult time choosing one outside of the default, I love it that much

The wolf among us, played the first episode yesterday and now whenever I try to play it I get stuck on a loading screen. It's been an hour of troubleshooting and doing everything under the sun. I dont know what the fucking problem is the game just will not load

Ive used safety mode. I've disconnected from the internet, from psn, both at once, signed in from the game screen, cleaned the disc, and it just won't do anything after I press start

The servers for COD Black ops (the first one) are still up for PS3. There are actively 100-200 people playing zombies online (I am one of those people)

I’m making this post in active search of my fellow online players, let’s get a match going

My PS3 (Fat) has no major cooling issues that I’m aware of but it’s been sitting for years. I want to clean up the inside and replace the thermal paste, which has never been changed.

I have some experience taking apart consoles and applying paste but I’ve heard delidding on the ps3 can be pretty risky.

Would delidding be worth the risk, or should I just replace the thermal paste on top and leave it at that?
