I got lucky I (am from the Netherlands) bought mine last year for 25€ with one controller. It was in perfect condition. I broke the factory seal to replace the thermal paste and cleaned it, because I use it and will never sell it anyway. The guy I bought it from didn't used it much and said he was growing out of playing games a few years ago and found the PS3 in the closet and it was the last console he played.
Hi there, Jacob R. I actually have a couple questions in mind that I was just wondering about since I happen to notice this a lot in most of your gameplay and unboxing videos. When you test out games on game systems, how come you only seem to play them for a short amount of time? Also, why do you always turn the volume down too for them? I just thought of asking though since I was only wondering. Great job on your videos though, by the way, and I also really like the backwards-compatible PS3 models myself as well since I even still have one that works fine so far for now.
@@pepsidude8919 most people are not interested in watching long periods of random gameplay, and keeping volume on during gameplay could result in a copyright claim
@@jrob0021 Okay then. I was just wondering though, but thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I've actually seen gameplay videos here on UA-cam from other people with the volume in them, but I don't really see any of their videos being copyrighted or anything. I still like UA-cam and all, but I don't like how strict they can be when it comes to copyrighted material since there's always a lot of different videos being removed due to copyright.

It’s so cool that you came across an A01 on FW 1.10. Brings back memories to when I got my PS3 December 2006 and the games I had were Resistance Fall of man and NBA 2K7. I now have an A01 on FW 2.80. It’s the last firmwares with the original PS3 coldboot, black XMB waves, and the PS3 game boot. Sony removed otherOS on FW 3.21.
Wow, Haunting Ground is a rare game. Only saw it 1 time in the wild I thought it looked unique with a dog RE style haunted theme game. Picked it up for only 5 back in the day and got lucky it went up so high in value. Good stuff.
Exactly that thing is an excellent health just a little bit of maintenance and that thing will last for years. Update to 3.55 and an install cfw and set for all PS1/2/3 Games plus some PSP games.
@@jrob0021 Yah I am pretty darn sure that the dude possibly bought it and intended to play it and never did. Or the woman. I have known people who do that.
The games ironically fall out because of a lack of instruction manual. If you lightly press the outside of a game case without one it will pop the game out, something that's slightly harder to do when there's a chunk of paper between the case and retainer.
Even though the original models of the PS3 aren't very reliable most of the time, I personally still really like them though, especially the ones that are backwards compatible. So far, I've gone through quite a few backwards-compatible models of the PS3, two of which even got the YLOD years ago since they don't work now. I ordered another backwards compatible PS3 though from Amazon back in 2018 which is a 60 GB PS3 model and it still works fine so far for the time being even though it's a used console and even though I've had it now for four years already since it hasn't gotten the YLOD yet or anything since I've been pretty lucky so far.
Honestly it looks like the A01 was perhaps barely used. I know you can downgrade it but considering the condition and that those early models get hot if I were to hazard a guess it was prob just used as a blu ray player. You hit the jackpot for sure. From here you can either keep it play it once in a while or replace the thermal paste and jailbreak it. Really up to you. I personally got lucky and got a A12, Hong Kong varient and jail broke it, increased the fan speed and replaced the thermal paste and delidded it. Its my all in one.
16:10 You can downgrade a PS3 to 1.10. I saw another comment mentioning that it requires a modchip, but in the past few years a browser based exploit has been available. I don't think it is downgraded though, just seems a bit odd considering the console is in that great condition. Also regarding the vibration, early firmwares just can't detect the vibration feature in the DS3 at all and I assume it somehow defaults to vibrating for some reason. Edit: There are a few PS3 games that should be able to run on it, Resistance: Fall of Man and some of the other launch titles should be able to at least, not sure if all of them do.
There is a browser based tool now that can downgrade that far but most people doing that are just going down far enough to install cfw. It would be weird to revert it to launch firmware before giving it to a thrift store
@@genericjosh96 yep someone who knows how go cfw mod a console would know it's retail value too and wouldn't be donating a $200 system to Goodwill in the first place
Honestly, It hurts my soul to see the damaged old consoles as well. Just sad to see how they are treated over time. But at the same time, fascinating to see the saves and the history behind them. And not the history of the people who played them, but it does have a history of the person, whoever they were. At least at that time. Pretty cool. I agree with jacob on that one for sure.
Definitely lucky! I have purchased from shop goodwill and untested items ended up severely damaged internally, I’ve had a few good buys but overall more losses than wins there, insane you got 3 working consoles!
Amazon has started to use this style packaging in Australia, but they use all new carboard (very wasteful). This is a great idea for a charity, because not only does it help the environment, but saves cash and prevents waste. Goodwill has the right idea. Edit: It's also possible the cardboard is a misprint or donated as excess by businesses. I know this was a discussion a few years back to reduce waste in the supply chain for big business.
I've had shredded boxes like that used as packaging, but not Lego boxes. I would keep that version 1.1 for the long haul. Like you said probably barely or never been used. It's going to have the longest life.
I got a backwards cec a01 ps3 recently on offerup for 50 bucks the lady didn't know what she had and told me her kids had got the new system so she didn't need it anymore. I took it home and everything worked and the seal was never peeled off so it's factory sealed. I was very happy but the system gets decently loud so I don't use it very often it's more of a display piece I use my ps3 slim to play ps3 games
@@SeriusChevy totally agree I dont really use it at all for this reason I have done some research and found the problem is of course that the thermal paste needs a replacement because it still is using the stock thermal paste from 2006 and most likely is so old and crackly now and isnt doing anything to help cool down the system. I want to attempt to fix it myself but I dont want to ruin a 200 + dollar console if I ruin it so I tend to have it as more of a decoration piece but I do sometime down the road will want to attempt to fix or have it professionally done when I have the time
“E01 MG” were part of a bundle package with metal gear solid 4. That’s where it gets the MG from. Usually 08 so last run of the e01. Also has the same style BR drive as the later k01,h01,p01 have . This what I found out buying my e01 mg 😂
I still have my 80GB PS3, but unfortunately it suffered the YLOD. That Nakamichi Shockwafe setup is nice! I also have that and i absolutelylove it (the 9.2.4 setup).
I remember getting a Xbox 360 E at the goodwill I go to and it works and looks fine. I also got a CECHE01 model PS3 from Goodwill but it was through their eBay page. The eBay listing said it was tested to boot up games and when I got it in it was in great condition and working shape. I rarely use it but it's still working perfectly fine. I should do a thermal paste change though. I changed thermal paste in my 60gb CECHA01 and 20gb CECHB01 but still not my 80gb as I am out of thermal paste.
I remember I had purchased a excellent condition 60gb BC PS3 off Craigslist back in 2011 for 75.00 with controllers…at the time must’ve thought it was a normal ps3 so I re-sold it a year later for 100.00. Then back in 2020 I came upon another 60gb BC on eBay that nobody was even watching…got that one for 35.00 with no controller,but plays plays ps2,ps3,ps1 and blu-ray. Still runs!!
I bought a 60gb PS3 from a pawn shop back in 2018 for $30 the only thing wrong with it was the blu-ray optical drive so I replaced it with one from Ebay and it worked great. It's been a few years since it played with it I should definitely check on it now.
Hey Dave good to see you would be good to do another ps3 backwards compatibility video?especially judging by the previous one which makes alotta views.
I work for a goodwill computer store so we have the resources to test our products because we specialize in that however there are some sites that really don't have the time to go through every individual small thing they have Production goals that they have to meet and it's usually in the hundreds of items per day per person and bets are they are making close to minimum wage so the all mighty cooperate overlords would not want an employee working on 1 single item for 30 minutes max it sucks but it's work. With that being said I still love working for them i get to see so many obscure tech things everyday! I try my best to give who ever is buying our items as much knowledge as possible.
Backwards compatible consoles will Need a RSX Delid or if they have allready YLODed they may require a Frankenstein mod done to them.. Which is very expensive and requires sacrificing a PS3 Slim.
You answered your own question as to why they sell them as untested. The best way to test is to play for an extended period of time and there's no way they can do that for every system they sell.
from what i know, to downgrade a ps3 you need to physically install a modchip and usually you downgrade it to 3.55 so since it has the warranty seal it should be a real 1.1
Not at all true, can be done using the browser method. I do this a lot for friends who have them laying around, especially if it's a fat back compat model, it's nice to delid, replace token caps etc. and have a very quiet OG fat model sitting around, since then you can just put away the ps2.
I hunt those (EU version) and getting them for like 15€, most are ylod but is easy fix. Delid, liquid metal on ceramic, mx5 on lid and ready to rock. Temp is around 60-65C* after hours of playing.
I hope there’s no bugs in there if you open em up. I bought a DualShock controller on eBay a couple years ago and had a fried bug in there. Like how? 😂
Seems like there's some misunderstanding with the 80 gig model, It's actually partial emulation as it does have the hardware for the GPU on the PS3. It's just emulating the PS2 CPU.
I paid $40 bucks for my 80 gig ps5 at a yard sale. And I paid 75 bucks to have cleaned and pasted running like a champ playing nba streets one of my favorite games
It's cool that you found these and got lucky they worked, but I'm not seeing the long term value in the investment. The disc's for ps2 and ps3 games are two decades old and counting. They'll eventually degrade as will the consoles. I keep going back and forth on getting a backwards compatible ps3, but this thought always turns me away. I can emulate ps2 on my steam deck really well and I'd only get a ps3 for the mgs series. That leaves me with mgs4, which struggled on the ps3 itself and even struggles with the most high end cpus. They really need to do remasters on PC and make things right for the future.
I have a 20GB that sadly got the YLOD last year. I even tried putting on new thermal paste and still doesn't work. I need to find somebody that knows how to fix them.
2 months ago i brought an untested 20GB PS3 for $25 to replace my other 20gb PS3 which started having GPU problems and it worked. Sometimes you get lucky.
i think it does make sence if the sixaxis had no vybration then the newer controller doesn't know what to do because it's ment for an older controler so the controller vibrates out of like a glitch
as a lego collector that hurt my soul that they did that to the lego box. by thr looks if it it was a castle set from kingdoms fantasy era. which are pretty expensive
Hey Jacob. Firstly, I want to say that I’m glad that I came across your video man because I was trying to hopefully find a system ps4 in particular even though this a ps3 video and I’ve been seeing that you have to buy it from other companies like eBay and other things and they don’t have the best conditions. I’m trying to hopefully purchase one soon but I’m skeptical on it so any suggestions or tips that you may have?
even if they test them and they work calling them "untested" just allows them to tell you to kick rocks when it arrives damaged in transit from being banged around and kicked like a football by USPS workers
I seem to flip between consoles and PCs, atm I have a PC building and modding bug... Tho I have a shelf of consoles waiting to be played with. Love never ending projects
More bulky than I expected. The only PlayStation I’ve ever had is my PS4 Slim 😅 I used to be an XBox guy but it was my uncle’s PS4 before he passed away so I switched so I could have a little piece of him in my life
@@jrob0021 not all splitters work but the best bet are those random 2 port splitters that are on eBay and Amazon under random Chinese brands. Any name brand one will handle HDCP correctly and pass it along to both output displays.
Next time, when you make a video aboit consoles, how aboit focusing on that instead of showing something off, which can be bought separately and furthermore could have a full blown reviewvideo of its own?
I recently got mines for $15. Although, mines seems to be overheating a lot even though I completely refurbished it. I don't know what are the average temperatures for CECHE models but mines at 70°C with probably 40%~ fan speed on idle! Are they always loud?!

I’m trying to hopefully purchase one soon but I’m skeptical on it so any suggestions or tips that you may have?
You can actually check how much runtime a ps3 has using webman mod but that requires jailbreaking the system
It is not downgrade , early CFW required 3.55 FW .
Jacob you always have the best content man :)
I just bought a 80gb ps3 fat for 120 bucks at this game store near me and its perfect glad I bought it
That’ll would have cost 1000$ a piece at that one guys yard sale
even if they test them and they work calling them "untested" just allows them to tell you to kick rocks when it arrives damaged in transit from being banged around and kicked like a football by USPS workers
I seem to flip between consoles and PCs, atm I have a PC building and modding bug... Tho I have a shelf of consoles waiting to be played with. Love never ending projects
PS3, best SSD, RSX Overclock while being upscaled to 4K (no lag) is the only way to play the PS TRIPLE 😎
More bulky than I expected. The only PlayStation I’ve ever had is my PS4 Slim 😅 I used to be an XBox guy but it was my uncle’s PS4 before he passed away so I switched so I could have a little piece of him in my life
The og 20 gb is king!!!!
to bypass the hdcp on ps3s you need a hdmi splitter
That’s what I read, and now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure I actually do have an hdmi splitter somewhere lol
@@jrob0021 not all splitters work but the best bet are those random 2 port splitters that are on eBay and Amazon under random Chinese brands. Any name brand one will handle HDCP correctly and pass it along to both output displays.
I am sure my xbox 1s smells bad of cigarettes and other assorted smokables.
Will he ever put in known prirated games disks into the game cube
You should be able to run linux on the 1.10 ps3
Well guess now we cant make fun of tesla drivers for not having long battery duration
they go for 80 bucks all day in michigan
Carnt beat Lego shredded cardboard lmao
I don't know what to do now, I was going to get that ps4 laptop from you but the delta 2 looks nice and I go camping/hunting/fishing alot.
its you have goodwill there here we cashopolis sometimes i see 80gb ps3 backwords i never see 20gb or 60gb ever i go there
Wow PS3 a Amazing Console there
Bought a ps3 from goodwill, said it was tested, but when I got it, the disk drive didn't work, so I bought a drive on Amazon, and fixed it.
Man Haunting Ground. Classic!
Next time, when you make a video aboit consoles, how aboit focusing on that instead of showing something off, which can be bought separately and furthermore could have a full blown reviewvideo of its own?
I recently got mines for $15. Although, mines seems to be overheating a lot even though I completely refurbished it.
I don't know what are the average temperatures for CECHE models but mines at 70°C with probably 40%~ fan speed on idle! Are they always loud?!
Lmao shredded Lego box takes it
im still saving up for a tv, couch and ps3.... i cant imagine saving up for a ps4 or ps5😂😂😂
Seriously? You have never seen packaging like that? Well, now you have!!
I get hundreds of packages each year and I’ve never seen it
Why is it a scam if the consoles work? I won't tolerate this slander.
You can use an HDMI splitter for ps3 for the HDCP
that is an unused ps3 you got
I can only imagine how many consoles he has stored away
I found a PS3 for one dollar at goodwill.
non backward i bet
