PS3 Do you still have a PS3?

[Retro Doomer]

Yeah same, I’ve had to replace mine with those clunky GameStop store-brand controllers.
Though I recently discovered that you can use PS4 controllers for it once you set them up properly.

I did not know that you could use Ps4 Controllers I never would have thought that they would be compatible anyway I got mine Online via Ebay the first one was a extreme one wich made some games like The Last of Us play weird as it did not have the move thing like the Og has the second one I bought was more expensive but works quite good it just turns off quite quickly if you don't use it constantly wich can get annoying by longer cutcenes.

still have my 160gb slim model! it needs a good cleaning (and prolly a change of thermal paste too) tho

I've had mine for almost 14 years now.

I negotiated at the time to get two Ratchet & Clank games and two Uncharted games with it instead of whichever Call of Duty it was supposed to come with.
I assume them having another full priced COD game to sell was worth more to them than the 4 much older games that I was more interested in.

Still going strong today, although I'm taking several years off of its lifespan every time I say that

 

[Danieru-Emanyueru]

No.

 

[spacebear]

Yep. Got one in 2011 after I was fed up with my 360 getting the RROD for the third time. Have it soft modded and hooked up to the CRT to play PS1 games.

 

[Nelson2001 Nelson2001]

No, but my half-brother had one and pawned it and even my older cousin also had one and sold it and also my other cousin had a PS3 too but it doesn't work for him.

 

[eroguro]

Yes, and I'm still buying physical games. My objective is complete all his library, but is quite difficult.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

It's what I write on (:

I still have my Super Slim that I play on. My original 60GB fat died on me (YLOD). At least I still have my PS2 for PS2 games.

 

[supershredder]

I lucked onto a fat ps3 that an ABC Supply Co. coworker sold me for $100. He was such a nice guy, I might should get back in touch with him to see if he wants to buy it back. Because jailbroken, this thing is a monster, despite the obnoxiously loud fan. I keep it in a dresser drawer with an OG Xbox that nearly caught on fire when I plugged it in a few months back. Tore it down, and I think it is a common problem with the PSU. The only reason I could take apart that Xbox so fast was because I had another one that I sold where I had a solderless modchip installed on it.

Yes, with PS3Hen. Makes it easy to play ISOs I download from the Repo (when I want to play them on a big screen instead of on the Vita/PSP). I have a PS1 and PS2 hooked up as well, yet lately I'm always playing my physical PS1 games on my PS3 as well...I guess it's cool to have nearly unlimited save data space.

I also still just really dig the PS3 XMB aesthetic. It still looks beautiful on modern TVs. Recently I also finally played the Ico/SoTC collection and Medal of Honor: Frontline remaster. Lots of PS3 gems out there I'm just now getting to.

I have two. One is unmodified one, half of it's 1tb drive is filled with my legit game installs and digital games purchased. It is my main music center, includes hefty collection of MP3 surround albums even, is my main Blu-Ray player and all that. Other one is a 2000 slim that could be CFW'd, is, and is filled with all kinds of stuff thanks to that. I even have bluetooth remotes, for both of them and five official wireless controllers. Distinction since I have one sixaxis without dualshock 3 functionality mantis raves about in MGS4.
After making PS4 a music center of sorts, there is something uniquely magical about ability to make PS3 your own media center in ways PS4 and 5 cannot. Neither let you copy content onto their internal drives, just plug in USB sticks and do it from there, even though from there PS4 has superior, MKV supporting capabilities. Heck, PS4 cannot play a surround mixed music album unless it is in DTS/Dolby format DVD or bluray. You might have to resurrect a dead on arrival sub format to do that on PS3 but you can for sure do it if you want to. One magical beast in many ways.

Still have my fat PS3 model. I forget now what the HDD size was. It’s basically in a box in my computer room with the other junk I have that never gets used. From time to time, the partner likes to play Castle Crashers, and I have to dig the thing back out. Sorry, not going to bother digging it out for a picture.
You all know what a fat PS3 looks like.

 

[Maximecool]

No, because my PS3 died from overheating and I threw it away. Now I only have my chipped fat PS1 and a PS2 that still works.

Maybe I could have bought a refurbished one from a seller, but I don’t really need it. I have much more nostalgia for the first and second, since I was already a young adult when I got to know the PS3.

 

[partymembervii]

Recently got myself a 160gb slim model, loving almost every second of it. a big frustrating that I cant download free shit without confirming my card info for a card i dont even have anymore, but yknow, ya take the good with the bad. still so many wonderful games on there

 

[RebelofDaNeonGod]

I actually do still have my ps3, it was a super slim that started crapping out, it still works for the most part, but I stopped using it. I actually bought another PS3 earlier this week, a regular slim ps3, just so I can mod it and fill it full of the PS3 games I was too poor to buy. I love modding!!!!!!!

Maximum internal drive you should get is 1tb, especially if yours can do CFW you can also use external HDD's to store and play ISO games, installs in mind. Hopefully it goes well and the slim was a CFW compatible model. IIRC it makes few things nicer, blu ray and DVD region freedom is more straightforward etc.

 

[NisenWasTaken (NWT)]

Nope.
But i need it to play Gran Turismo 5 & 6. (my favorites)

 

[Zerpina]

Indeed I do still have my PS3, a PHAT model with a replacement SSD and jailbroken to hell and back.
I kick it on from time to time to play Gal Gun....

Don't look at me like that.

 

[Cody34]

In the first year of having a PS3, I learned it was region free and I could just import games from Japan. Good times! I still have a few imports on my eBay wishlist. They're not even that badly priced all these years later

 

[PhrawzT]

I've got the PS3 super slim in my bedroom. I mainly use it as a media center since both my controllers have noticeable drift on the right analog stick.

 

[MegaDrive1987]

I have a slim under my telly although it's nothing more than a Bluray player nowadays. Thinking about modding it but I doubt I'd even use it. I can emulate everything on my PC and can't really think of any PS3 games I'd wanna play anyway.

 

[HippyJ3]

I still have my jail broken PS3 Slim with an upgraded 1 TB storage and 70 games installed in it, unfortunately the HDMI port started malfunctioning and the display suddenly blacked out while in the middle of playing Tales of Graces, planning to bring it to a repair shop during the holiday season so I can continue playing the game once it's repaired

My PS2 is having that same issue where everything goes black for a second or two.
