6th gen is when gaming peaked w/ ps2 coming out and w/ Xbox LAN parties. It was all about the games; no online journalists w/ social media, no micro-transactions, no updates, and no activism.
Same here, got mine on December 16, 2024 and it’s a 500 GB Slim model which I was surprised they made those, always thought for the longest time that 320 was the max before the Super Slim came out. I have a gold skin on mine and have the first two Black Ops games, been playing a lot of Black Ops 2 zombies.
Quest 2 offer the most fun free online gaming I had ever have. I know pc is the most matured platform with limiteless numbers of games. All the games are pretty much at its full potential, while VR is still in its infancy but the gameplay and interaction on VR is unmatched already despite of that reason
Blessing and a curse. Whilst nice not having to pay a subscription, but a horrendous hacker problem came as a result. Jailbreaking PS3's was so easy and so common especially on games like Call of Duty, even now you can never play legit games anymore.
360/PS3/Wii era was the peak of modern gaming. Before unfinished games being released was a thing. Before the endless lootboxes. Before micro transactions were everywhere. Before fucking soulless money-sucking live services. It'll never be that good again.
Basically why I never upgraded from ps3. I went and got a rasp Pi 3B but not a ps4 or ps5.. Ps4 is horrible in my bumble opinion but I am more of a retro gamer
Well then pc and Meta Quest is for you on modern gaming. While both offered superior best online experience, compared to any console that forced you to pay subscription to simply play online except. They do let you play free to play games online but those are limited selection
The fact that ps3 era online is still alive is golden!! And the fact that today's online era is boring and not as good and you have to pay for it is ridiculous and pathetic...
Being able to go back and platinum Demon's Souls a few years ago on a private server felt great. I thought I lost my chance. Not got the PS3 and PS4 set up in my new place yet, but I've been playing PS2 every night for the past week. Love the old Sony systems.
Absolute W video my dude. I still have 2 ps3s and literally my main consoles I play anymore are the ps2 and ps3. I keep 3 ps2s, 1 for japan titles, a slim for easy access and mobility, and a fat with the network adapter for fun at home lol, then a homebrew/modded ps3 and clean ps3 slim for online fun and emulation. I used to work at a company called game exchange and I used to tell people all the time how the ps3 community still existed and how the system would end up making a huge comeback lmaooo
That was one of the first games I played on that console. Currently I have the first two Black Ops but I do plan on getting the Modern Warfare games as well.
Love yr channel man. Watch all the time. I play PS3 everyday. My PS3 collection is sick...and the most I've paid for a single game is $30. This was a wealth of information about online PS3 stuff that I wasn't aware of. Thanks! Keep on making rad content!
I have PS3 slim, modded with SSD and CFW. It's amazing. Any PS1,2,3 game runs flawlessly on it. Love it and thoroughly enjoy. Especially as of late when I have added this upscaling equipment to it.
I have a 2503B, running CFW great, not to mention, I also installed an overclocked firmware that takes my particular console up to 900MHz on GPU Core and 1000MHz on VRAM. Every game I’ve tried so far feels smooth, no frame drops in The Last of Us, Persona 5 with a patched eboot file runs at 60fps in most areas. I love this thing
What's your gamer tag.. Me and my TES+ are always looking for challengers. Im not great at it but looking to expand my skill on that as a local arcade just brought that machine in more recently
I had sold all my PS3 games and had none. In 2020 I started buying some again... I ended up with 900 games. Because everyone decided it was a good time to sell their PS3 and games so I'd buy em all up for cheap. Ended up selling a lot but I still have 200+. I have too many to play. I have enough for a lifetime. i haven't touched my PS5 since they upped the PS Plus prices. Could not justify it any longer.

All of these can't be active officially, can they? You mean fan community-ran servers with CFW consoles or rpcs3, don't you? Because if all these can be played casually with ofw, then I am stoked😮
Also if your interested Uncharted 3 Multiplayer is also back with Uncharted Reloaded but its in a beta right now, they also have a discord server with a nice community so if youre interested then youre welcome
PS3 is one of my core consoles. They're dirt cheap. It's trivial to CFW and build an incredible gaming machine. In addition to all the online stuff you covered, I play LAN COD Zombies with my kid. I have a slim CFW 1 TB PS3 crammed full of installed PS1 and mountable PS2 games. I have a another PS3 set up to play PS move light gun games and all other PS3 games. It's a fantastic console.
Nothing like old school gaming I play cod world at war every other night on my ps3 still ! Usually about 200 players online most on zombies but can still get a good multiplayer lobby going
Black Ops 2 zombies is right around the same amount of people, nothing really has changed although it seems like there’s more shotguns ranked players that aren’t that good than I remember.
Even though I dont play multiplayer games i gotta say the ps3 did it right. Not only was it free but the games that did mp were made witha strong focus on fun and community. Nowadays you either get more concords and cancelled games like factions that arent stable or made for the audience that'll make it worth playing 😅
You could play Tekken 5 by private matches, not online open rooms tho. At least months ago that was the procedure, I haven't played it since. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 does have some active rooms every day tho. ♥
A few weeks ago I bought a used PS3 Slim for $40. I always wanted one but was too stingy to buy one because I'm not a big gamer. I also bought my first game straight away > The Last of Us. I love this generation.
I just found your channel the other day and I’ve watched all the videos. Needless to say, I’m on the same page as you. Bought the ps3 close to launch all the while my friends had the 360. I missed out on a bunch of those games but I played most of the cross platforms and now I’m going back to experience the stuff I never played. I’m 32 and I’m playing halo 2 just now lol. Have you had the chance to play dishonored? It came out late in the 7th gen cycle and it’s definitely worth a play
I saw you booted up Rainbow Six Vegas 2. They sometimes have games.... not often for multiplayer but usually you'll find a lobby or two for Terrorist Hunt. I had a game with 11 people some months ago. was amazing.
That “free” aspect kicks in when you see there’s a lot of hackers messing up all your fun and ddosing your router every couple of matches because you simply beat them at a game.
The PS3 is both the worst PS console yet the one I’m most nostalgic about. PS2 is the PEAK of Singleplayer. But PS3 was the real infancy of online gaming. And the “free online” has made it super easy to go back to. Sadly in my experience games would always see hackers 2 years after their respective release. Even Battlefield had hackers on the PS3. Probably because PS3 started as a “super computer”. With Linux included and all.
Not long ago i started playing again. Played gta5, red dead 1, uncharted drake's fortune. Even played some hitman absolution. Man, that game is not easy. Definately when you play a vew hours every couple of weeks. So you dont really get used to the gameplay.
just wanted to point out that nfs most wanted 2012 DOES completely work online, hell there's even full lobbies. felt amazing going to my ps3 in 2024 and getting a friend request after 10 minutes from that game
Found a ps3 slim for 30 bucks for parts and cheated off an ODD tinkering video and brought it back to life I must admit ps3 still runs and looks and holds up fairly well even now the Xbox 360 ps3 war started the true spilt of gamers it was crazy 😂
@@berniemackattack86 They reversed the decision to shut down the store due to massive community backlash because of no PS3 backwards compatibility on PS4/5. If Sony invests in backwards compatibility for the PS6 then most definitely the PS3 store will get the Xbox 360 treatment and get shut down, but since the PS3 store is the only way to play some games, Sony reverted their choice and is keeping it up for the forseeable future.
I love my PS5. I play it more than any other system at this point. I sold my one x, and switch. Was considering selling my PS5 as well since the only unique game I got it for was stranglehold.
Just sold my ps5, got 2 low firmware PS4 pros and Dusted off the PS3 to replay my library, good times. I'm staying in last gen until something significant happens in next next gen. Like AI driven hooker shooter .. or ok UC5 lol
Ps30fps... But seriously.. why did they have us playing at 30fps? But seriously.. remember when games that didn't need a multiplayer mode had it anyway because JUST having a story mode wasn't enough to warrant full price?
Bro, near 19 year old hardware, surely gotta be sarcastic to be nit picking at 30 frames lol. Not many games ran at 60 frames back then, games like Cod and Ratchet and Clank are really the only games that come to mind that I had that ran at 60.
The PS five don’t look like a lava lamp more like an ugly vase without flowers and the only good thing about that machine for now is silent hill two remake I really wanna try it but not for $600
I still have my ps3 but dont play it anymore i used to play it alot in 2010 now i am enjoying my familys old win xp pc and driving my rx-8, i had a ps5 but gave it to a friend as i couldnt run my car if i had it still too me the new games that come out at £70 a game thats my petrol money there every week and if any repairs need doing i have to have £300 spare its not cheap doing what you enjoy i have tendencys to spend money so im glad a friend is using the ps5 instead me.
well PC gaming is complete Garbage cause of NVIDIA since 2018 and it gets worse with every passing year PS5 is well dogshit and we are left with what older games since new are garbage yes PS3 and Xbox 360 are getting quite a resurgence ppl are still very much holding on their PS4s hell most PS5 gamers like me just got PS5 to play their PS4 games on better hardware and PS3 and Xbox 360 literally represents the Best Era of gaming 2000 to 2013 and i will finally buy me an Xbox360
The ps3/360 was the best times for gaming
I agree. Consoles peaked in the 7th generation.
you said it
@@EliteAgent51 console hardware peaked in the 8th with PS4 but games yes in the 7th if only the Morons from Sony adapted x86 in for the 7th gen
6th gen is when gaming peaked w/ ps2 coming out and w/ Xbox LAN parties. It was all about the games; no online journalists w/ social media, no micro-transactions, no updates, and no activism.
The best ever!!!! Gold nostalgia!!
Just bought a PS3 slim feels great to be back!
Same here, got mine on December 16, 2024 and it’s a 500 GB Slim model which I was surprised they made those, always thought for the longest time that 320 was the max before the Super Slim came out. I have a gold skin on mine and have the first two Black Ops games, been playing a lot of Black Ops 2 zombies.
Ps3 was the best time to play. I miss it so much.
Bro get another one.
Johnny?!!!
Playing Ps3 is timeless joy like
listening to good old music ❤️
Was just online on Black Ops 2 couple hours ago....still fun as hell to play
Same here I play on weekends it's the best chance to get a game 😅
I play zombies on it and it’s still fun to play as well, around 200-300 people online at a time.
Free online play was a thing. People should remember that
It still is, on the PC. Always was
Quest 2 offer the most fun free online gaming I had ever have.
I know pc is the most matured platform with limiteless numbers of games. All the games are pretty much at its full potential, while VR is still in its infancy but the gameplay and interaction on VR is unmatched already despite of that reason
@@toututu2993bruh no. had a quest and it's horrible, barely has any games. not only that but it's filled with little kids
Blessing and a curse. Whilst nice not having to pay a subscription, but a horrendous hacker problem came as a result. Jailbreaking PS3's was so easy and so common especially on games like Call of Duty, even now you can never play legit games anymore.
I’d love to see that you just can’t stop talking about the PS3, keep those vids up you are doing an amazing job!
360/PS3/Wii era was the peak of modern gaming. Before unfinished games being released was a thing. Before the endless lootboxes. Before micro transactions were everywhere. Before fucking soulless money-sucking live services. It'll never be that good again.
Free online play......because I'm not paying Sony $80 a year for it.
Basically why I never upgraded from ps3. I went and got a rasp Pi 3B but not a ps4 or ps5..
Ps4 is horrible in my bumble opinion but I am more of a retro gamer
Also on pc
World at war
This is why I switched to PC and never look back.
Well then pc and Meta Quest is for you on modern gaming. While both offered superior best online experience, compared to any console that forced you to pay subscription to simply play online except. They do let you play free to play games online but those are limited selection
Good to hear i just bought myself a ps3 today, wanted to see how online was
The PS3 is the best console for one thing: *PlayStation Network Free*
The fact that ps3 era online is still alive is golden!! And the fact that today's online era is boring and not as good and you have to pay for it is ridiculous and pathetic...
Can’t miss free online subscription.
Being able to go back and platinum Demon's Souls a few years ago on a private server felt great. I thought I lost my chance. Not got the PS3 and PS4 set up in my new place yet, but I've been playing PS2 every night for the past week. Love the old Sony systems.
Dude, thx to you I fired up my ps3 recently and I’m blown away every time I fire it up. God bless you mang haha
Absolute W video my dude. I still have 2 ps3s and literally my main consoles I play anymore are the ps2 and ps3. I keep 3 ps2s, 1 for japan titles, a slim for easy access and mobility, and a fat with the network adapter for fun at home lol, then a homebrew/modded ps3 and clean ps3 slim for online fun and emulation.

I got PS3 Slim for $40 on eBay and I played MW2 yesterday, still holds up in 2024. I got 2 Nukes 😅
Did some cleaning about 2 weeks ago and found my Modern Warfare 2 but have yet to fire it up..
I’m not impressed by the nukes but rather the fact you didn’t run into any hackers.
MW2 DIED IN 2014. To get more lucky today in 2024 is CRAZY!
Play wolverine and Deadpool it's only available on PS3 .
Damn og MW2 man... I Miss this game
That was one of the first games I played on that console. Currently I have the first two Black Ops but I do plan on getting the Modern Warfare games as well.
I watch ALL your videos. Never stop brother, there are so few channels I enjoy now, we need you!
Best era in gaming.
probably the best games era goes to ps2 era

Warhawk on actual hardware works flawlessly. Glad the community is still going strong.
I have PS3 slim, modded with SSD and CFW. It's amazing. Any PS1,2,3 game runs flawlessly on it. Love it and thoroughly enjoy. Especially as of late when I have added this upscaling equipment to it.
How long have you that set up for .?
And are you running it on a 2501- A ??
Bro, how are you running the ps1 and ps2 games? Are you loading through original discs?
Please share with us if possible which upscaling device are you using?

Nice I am looking into getting my ps3 slim molded soon and that way I'll be able to rip ps2 games into the hard drive or whatever..
The ps 3 had a software update in the settings btw

Black Ops 2 zombies is right around the same amount of people, nothing really has changed although it seems like there’s more shotguns ranked players that aren’t that good than I remember.
Even though I dont play multiplayer games i gotta say the ps3 did it right. Not only was it free but the games that did mp were made witha strong focus on fun and community. Nowadays you either get more concords and cancelled games like factions that arent stable or made for the audience that'll make it worth playing 😅
You could play Tekken 5 by private matches, not online open rooms tho. At least months ago that was the procedure, I haven't played it since. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 does have some active rooms every day tho. ♥
I still play black ops 2 on PS3 even made new friends lol 😅
I just got a PS3 and I play Black OPs 2 as well. Feel free to add me, my username is the same as on here.
Enjoying the videos, need to see some new pickup videos. As good as modded consoles are, physical will always be king!
3:18 exactly. I don’t know if I should sell it or not 😭
A few weeks ago I bought a used PS3 Slim for $40. I always wanted one but was too stingy to buy one because I'm not a big gamer. I also bought my first game straight away > The Last of Us. I love this generation.
Like your cut G
I just found your channel the other day and I’ve watched all the videos. Needless to say, I’m on the same page as you. Bought the ps3 close to launch all the while my friends had the 360. I missed out on a bunch of those games but I played most of the cross platforms and now I’m going back to experience the stuff I never played. I’m 32 and I’m playing halo 2 just now lol.
Have you had the chance to play dishonored? It came out late in the 7th gen cycle and it’s definitely worth a play
I saw you booted up Rainbow Six Vegas 2. They sometimes have games.... not often for multiplayer but usually you'll find a lobby or two for Terrorist Hunt. I had a game with 11 people some months ago. was amazing.
That “free” aspect kicks in when you see there’s a lot of hackers messing up all your fun and ddosing your router every couple of matches because you simply beat them at a game.
The paid one on 360 isn't any different
The PS3 is both the worst PS console yet the one I’m most nostalgic about.
PS2 is the PEAK of Singleplayer.
But PS3 was the real infancy of online gaming.
And the “free online” has made it super easy to go back to.
Sadly in my experience games would always see hackers 2 years after their respective release.
Even Battlefield had hackers on the PS3.
Probably because PS3 started as a “super computer”. With Linux included and all.
Merry christmas
Not long ago i started playing again. Played gta5, red dead 1, uncharted drake's fortune. Even played some hitman absolution. Man, that game is not easy. Definately when you play a vew hours every couple of weeks. So you dont really get used to the gameplay.
Have you tried overclocking with your custom firmware? I just did +100 mhz on a 2500 slim and it’s awesome.
just wanted to point out that nfs most wanted 2012 DOES completely work online, hell there's even full lobbies. felt amazing going to my ps3 in 2024 and getting a friend request after 10 minutes from that game
I really want to play battlefield 4 and gta V online on ps3
Clicked on this vid and didn’t even realize it was Kevin
MAG was a fun game,Ahead of its time.
Do EA sports games still work online?
W ps3
I still love the ps3 jailbroke it and put like 30 games on it
Bro im hoping this doesnt shut down in 2025 🤞
Just played today. Mgo and RE operation Raccoon City
I play PS3 and have no one to play.
Depends what games you're playing. Go and search the internet for ps3 games that are still online.
What games do you play?
@ gems.
Found a ps3 slim for 30 bucks for parts and cheated off an ODD tinkering video and brought it back to life I must admit ps3 still runs and looks and holds up fairly well even now the Xbox 360 ps3 war started the true spilt of gamers it was crazy 😂
I thought the servers shut down?
Never did, never stated that they will either
They announced that store was coming down some time ago. But it never did..
@@berniemackattack86 They reversed the decision to shut down the store due to massive community backlash because of no PS3 backwards compatibility on PS4/5. If Sony invests in backwards compatibility for the PS6 then most definitely the PS3 store will get the Xbox 360 treatment and get shut down, but since the PS3 store is the only way to play some games, Sony reverted their choice and is keeping it up for the forseeable future.
It's crazy how many times you can say, idk.
GTA Online also have returned it's called RE:V
I don't like ps3 controller tho but yeah free online sounds nice 😅
I love my PS5. I play it more than any other system at this point. I sold my one x, and switch. Was considering selling my PS5 as well since the only unique game I got it for was stranglehold.
Bro try arma reforger on ps5 amazing game
Everytime I play mw2 online there’s always a modder in a server that gives me max everything like not what I wanted but I will take it 🤣🤣🤣
PS3 !
RGH 360 is better.
Just sold my ps5, got 2 low firmware PS4 pros and Dusted off the PS3 to replay my library, good times. I'm staying in last gen until something significant happens in next next gen. Like AI driven hooker shooter .. or ok UC5 lol
World at war
Ps30fps...
But seriously.. why did they have us playing at 30fps?
But seriously.. remember when games that didn't need a multiplayer mode had it anyway because JUST having a story mode wasn't enough to warrant full price?
Bro, near 19 year old hardware, surely gotta be sarcastic to be nit picking at 30 frames lol. Not many games ran at 60 frames back then, games like Cod and Ratchet and Clank are really the only games that come to mind that I had that ran at 60.
The PS five don’t look like a lava lamp more like an ugly vase without flowers and the only good thing about that machine for now is silent hill two remake I really wanna try it but not for $600
I ps5 doesn't just sit there? I play that shit plenty. sounds like a you thing my man.
I still have my ps3 but dont play it anymore i used to play it alot in 2010 now i am enjoying my familys old win xp pc and driving my rx-8, i had a ps5 but gave it to a friend as i couldnt run my car if i had it still too me the new games that come out at £70 a game thats my petrol money there every week and if any repairs need doing i have to have £300 spare its not cheap doing what you enjoy i have tendencys to spend money so im glad a friend is using the ps5 instead me.
That's the same reason I won't buy another EA game. Disgusting and ridiculous
hi
hi
Hi
Hi
Play Quake 1 & 2 on PS5 thank me later.
I don’t see that being fun at all. Games are too old and I’d get bored in 20 min.
Not every game was fun
I miss uncharted 3 and last of us multiplayer. Very underrated. Now they are too busy with making woke bald ladys instead of a nice multiplayer
Cfw rebug rgh times
well PC gaming is complete Garbage cause of NVIDIA since 2018 and it gets worse with every passing year PS5 is well dogshit and we are left with what older games since new are garbage yes PS3 and Xbox 360 are getting quite a resurgence ppl are still very much holding on their PS4s hell most PS5 gamers like me just got PS5 to play their PS4 games on better hardware and PS3 and Xbox 360 literally represents the Best Era of gaming 2000 to 2013 and i will finally buy me an Xbox360
They ported Gta 5 to the PLAYSTATION THREE??? technology is amazing these days!!
The ps3 background when you hover over a game is still unmatched on any console 🫡
