In a world where the technology has advanced so far since the release of the ps3, I still find myself coming back to the console, you somehow still can't beat a gaming session of black ops 2 and it's a miracle if those are all genuine controllers, seems like you got a deal
I feel like this was the last gen when games still had a lust to them. They were still exciting and didn’t feel followed out just to get the product out. They felt more complete
The original fat 60GB PS3 is probably my favorite console of all time. Just pop in the PS1 or PS2 disk, and everything works. It plays 3 generations of games, is able to stream Netflix, Spotify, has a BD drive etc... A complete media hub it was when it launched. Paired with a PSP it provided a complete and unmatched PS experience.
That’s all great but main kicker for me , is the poor framerate on PS3. I didn’t really notice it back in 2010 because that was all I was used to but after getting a Ps5 with 60/120 FPS, I can’t go back to 30.
@@grahamkelly8662 Oh really? Back in 2012 console fanboys kept talking about how 30fps is more cinematic, more than enough and than you cant see more than 24FPS anyways lol.

@@grahamkelly8662 Wrong, check out some old console fanboy videos. They said games run on 4k 60FPS on PS4 because they are ''designed'' to run as good on consoles.

I still use my PS3 Superslim almost daily, it's basically my complete entertainment system, DVD's, Blu-ray movies, MP4 movies via Movian center (multiman tool) and of cause games, I just can't justify the price of buying a PS5, games are ridiculously expensive and file sizes are too large, 4k TV's also cost an arm and leg, if the PS3 is jailbroken its basically free gaming for life
Honestly Im getting to the point where I would rather play older games. Sure they don't have the best graphics but its a game and meant to be fun. These newer games can get complicated quick.
2023 PS3 gang reporting! I just recently got a PS3 for the first time and I'm very excited. I have the PS3 slim and I love how simple and elegant the design is. I completely jumped the 7th generation of consoles because of how expensive they were in my country back then, so finally having the PS3 is like completing the last piece for my collection of Sony consoles. I'm still surprised of how ahead of their time the PS3 was, as it's pretty much the basis for the modern day console.
I bought one of the last brand new ps3 slims in 2014 from the Walmart I worked at. Only had 12gb. I always had data corruption issues. So I sent it in for warranty repair and they returned it stating no work had been done, but no further issues since. About 4 months ago I find out it magically has 250gb. Thank you Sony!
Oh! The PlayTV! I forgot how the PS3 was not only a games console but a media hub too, with video disc playback, storing photos, music, and video on the internal hard drive, but there was a TV tuner released for the PS3 in a few countries?!?! Whoa. The TV stuff reminded me of how the official PS3 and PS4 remotes were designed to fit in with Sony home entertainment device remotes of the time. (14:50) I think it's for printing photos, because if I recall correctly from a video I watched, it was possible to import photos from a camera or USB flash drive directly to the console's internal hard drive, and the console was also able to connect with PSP consoles.
Me too! I bought a ps3 in 2023. Cheap games, ps2 and ps1 support on slim consoles with cfw and the media centre support is brill for blurays and CDs. You can get a media remote and have a blast. You can also emulate lots of other consoles before the ps3 which makes for a brilliant device to have connected to a tv

Are still there and working beside the fact in heats up I try not to be on it for way too long.
@@devilangel4655 Great! I wonder which of those are you enjoying the most??? Some of them are just a “shadow” of what they were back then but still are excellent.
So tempted to buy a ps3 and buy all the old games like web of shadows, shattered dimensions, wolverine, etc. so many classics that just don’t get made these days. So cheap for such classic like uncharted and infamous. What a time to be alive
While I am mostly a computer game, the PS3 is easily my favorite console. I have the most games on it than any other console (a bit over 100 IIRC), not including digital versions (~20 or so) . While I stopped buying consoles after the PS4/Xbone, I am fine with it and I prefer it over the others. As I see it now, money permitting, I will never buy another console unless they bring in backwards compatibility to PS3 on them, or for MS ones, PGR3 and PGR4 backwards compatibility. Otherwise I am fine with my PC and all the games released on the consoles I already have. I hope you enjoy your new console, though since it is a used one, I wouldn't say no to opening it to clean it, change the thermal paste and perhaps even upgrading the drive to a SSD one. Mostly for longevity than anything else. Thanks for the video and happy gaming!
@@Frank-x1g Sad really, but true. Depending of course on the games one plays. But still, with the last of the reasons to buy a console more or less gone (physical releases and no need to be online for single player), what's the point of getting a console? Physical releases because most of the time you need to download the "patch" of several GBs. Might as well stick to PC with at least the option of DRM free games there, for example from GOG.
i just bought one of these for nostalgia purposes. So many memories, esp of the all nighters playing Skyrim together during sleepovers. The PS4 and PS5 just feel soulless in comparison. The PS2 and PS3 are from a better more pure time. But i have done a SATA SSD upgrade to improve loading times for any digital games and stored media i've put on there. (disk game load times are almost entirely beholden to the bluray drive read speeds, not console storage). I also stripped it down and did a dust cleanout. Necessary on consoles this old.
Hi, ChrisPro this is Jermey McGuire. I got my first PlayStation 3 slim was back on Christmas in 2011 I remember my nephews playing my PlayStation3 slim a lot. I enjoyed the PlayStation3!! Then I switched to the Xbox One S on Christmas 2017 before I received the PlayStation3.” My 1st PlayStation was the PlayStation 2 I had since the 8th grade. I don’t have anymore, my favorite game was guitar hero encore rocks the 80’s I had the PlayStation2 through out high school I was a senior in high school when the PlayStation3 was launched, I have faun memories of playing PlayStation 3 video game.
PS3 fat original (CECHA) 60GB are the best PS3 ever, use a custom firmware, install retroarch, and it become an emulation monster (could play most arcade games up to early 2000's title, Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, etc.), and of course it can play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games (obviously).
I'm planning to buy a used ps3 soon hopefully after i saved some money , i genuinely believe that it's generation is the best one for gaming, nowadays u get a game with 20 hours gameplay and 50 hours cinematic
I do like the ps3 console still its a pretty fun console. I got it with hen installed and being able to run ps1 games on it is pretty amazing. I still use it sometimes to watch disc movies on.
Small world. I literally just bought a ps3 like 2 weeks ago. Figured I’d get one so I have access to all 5 generations of PlayStation since I already have a 5
Somehow I’ve ended up with 5 ps3 consoles ranging for fat to super slim, I originally bought a fat new and it lasted me 15 years and was used daily when it got the dreaded YLOD, so then upgraded to a ps4. At the moment they’re so cheap as I’ve never paid more than £30 secondhand for one with games, the only problem is, I’ve ended up with 4 copies of GTA V as everyone went out and bought it. I’ve been signed off work for 5 days and my PS5 hasn’t had a look in.as it’s been 7 hrs spent on Red-dead Nightmare running through a 50 inch plasma. It seems to me that the 3 was an amazing leap forward in gaming and since then things haven’t really improved in software.
I've had my PS3 slim since December 2010 since my PS3 phat broke and I've been using it practically every day since, using it both for games but mostly media server watching movies and series from my harddrive, because it's just easier with having everything right in the XMB rather than entering the media apps on newer consoles. Never missed a beat!
Minecraft is one of the few games that allow you to play your mp3s(copied via hitting triangle after inserting a music CD disc or USB with /Music folder)during gameplay as it's so low ram. Very few games allowed this, you could also copy x264(mp4s) and avi/xvid videos to the HD too via the /Video folder on a USB or even copy them straight from a CD/DVD+R/RWs, also sure you could even burn them to the RW discs and obviously copy them onto other USBs too. That's a proper Home Entertainment system back then!
I just recently purchased a ps3 slim too. It had box, and manuels. Plus 15 physical games and a sharpshooter with motion and navigator. Two controllers red and blue( trashed cus they were drifting and had cracks) and a camera. Opened the ps3 today and it was clean, no dust and no bugs.
I still use a sony dvd player/amp for my tv and its neat how they designed its body similar to the ps3 slim but also the menu for the dvd player and tv of that time is identical to the ps3 menu
I bought a ps3 slim in 2020 with about 10 games & 2 controllers for only FIFTY dollars, best decision ever jailbroke it soon after & finally got to play NFS MW 2005 after never getting the chance to it as a kid
4:19 I always wondered what Australians pick since companies seem to think the US and the UK are the only places in the world that speak primarily English lol
If multiplayer hackers weren't a thing and the servers were still up for certain games I'd be going back to my PS3 a lot more. I'm convinced certain developers release hacks so people buy their newer games.
Considering how the Dreamcast is still up on private servers, and how the OG Xbox had Xbox Live restored for it too recently. I don't think we'll have to wait long for the PS3 to be brought back in a similar way. Sony may not care about us fans or collectors, but the fanbase will always pull through in the end.
just letting you know you can jailbreak the ps3 and you can play ps2 games on it i have the same slim ps3 i jaibreak it too play ps2 games few ps3 exclusives and games i missed out on that are over priced
When you’ve mentioned that the 360 can do 1080p60 UA-cam, that’s unfortunately not correct. It can do 720p30 at the most while the PS3 can do 1080p30 or 720p60 on UA-cam
Interesting, I think they may have changed it for both. answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/xbox-360-youtube-limited-to-720p-hd-gone/1304fe06-dda5-49b7-9bb0-c6f1bdc1ef2a
The Xbox 360 version of Minecraft stopped receiving support in 2019.The tutorial world never looked like this at the end. When did the PS3 edition stop getting support?
It had support all the way up to the 1.13 update, last update for it was released in 2020, but on the wiki it says that the last update for the 360 edition was released in 2019
I remember when people thought the mandatory 8GB install for GTA 5 was a lot, now the game is over 100GB with 10 years of updates, and for most people, it’ll install way faster despite the balloon in size, times have changed a lot.
One of the controllers is six axis only so no rumble. I'm on a ps3 buying spree myself. I have 2 phats with ps2 compatibility and I'm going to buy 3 japanese models which are special editions.
I bought PS3 in 2024, i used to have one, but i borrow it and then lost. Happens. But i was so shocked, when i realised i still can download games that i bought in 2012, kudos to sony!
I have the newest version of ps3. Ps3 superslim. Its very good console. I can play old games that are not even available in newer consoles like Elder Scrolls IV oblivion.
I used to have one of those, and one thing that nobody ever mentions with those is how convenient it was to open and close the top cover with inserting and removing the discs. I had a 500 GB model for 3 1/2 years, never really gave me any problems.
I don’t want to sound weird but I broke my Xbox a couple days ago and my grandpa is giving me a ps3 slim with a steering wheel, 2 controllers, and a dreamgear battery powered controller do I need to be worried about anything about this console I usually use it for games and to stream my tv shows on and especially youtube
After I saw a comparison of the different GTA5 versions, I really just prefer the original. I don't like if every goddamn thing has effects or is too sharp if not needed.
Most HDMI switches/splitters will bypass it, and the PS3 will think you're compliant. You could also disable HDCP on the PS3 in the settings, but this will probably limit the content you can view on it.
Technically they have the same amount of memory (512MB in each), but how Xbox did it was better. In games more visually intensive, the 360 gives more to the GPU while the PS3 split it evenly into 2 x 256MB which means less graphically intensive games left a bunch of memory that the system desperately needed completely unused. Never understood that decision myself.
Hi Guys, I bought GTA 4, Red Ded Redemption and Sleeping Dogs (which was banned in Germany at Release) in 2023. I thought I have a good time with these masterpiece’s, but Iam shocked how bad the performance is on an old PS3. I played GTA 4 on a PC when I was young and I had good memories. Is the problem the PS3 performance or are there any tricks to have a better performance. Thank you for answering. I think the best way to play these games is on PC.
which ps3 did you get btw did you get fat model they are worse than newer models (slim ones) anyway if you want to play those games on an old console you should get an Xbox 360 Gta 4 and Red dead run better on that not sure about sleeping dogs though

just letting you know you can jailbreak the ps3 and you can play ps2 games on it i have the same slim ps3 i jaibreak it too play ps2 games few ps3 exclusives and games i missed out on that are over priced
Have a link to buy that ps3?
gta online servers have been shutted down back in 2021 on both ps3 and xbox 360
Ps3 is still my favorite console ever as a whole, but more specifically the slim.
As someone who is also in Australia please tell me where you bought this 🙏🙏
When you’ve mentioned that the 360 can do 1080p60 UA-cam, that’s unfortunately not correct. It can do 720p30 at the most while the PS3 can do 1080p30 or 720p60 on UA-cam
Interesting, I think they may have changed it for both.

@@ChrisProAU Probably used to be higher, but the PS3’s faster CPU allows it to play videos in higher resolutions.
i use my ps3 youtube almost daily and i assure you, it does do 1080p 60.
The Xbox 360 version of Minecraft stopped receiving support in 2019.The tutorial world never looked like this at the end. When did the PS3 edition stop getting support?
It had support all the way up to the 1.13 update, last update for it was released in 2020, but on the wiki it says that the last update for the 360 edition was released in 2019
@@kociaparowka1 Yes they received the 2019 Aquatic update, as a result of not being able to receive the new Bedrock edition
I launched it initially without installing any updates, so it'd be the initial release in the video.
I remember when people thought the mandatory 8GB install for GTA 5 was a lot, now the game is over 100GB with 10 years of updates, and for most people, it’ll install way faster despite the balloon in size, times have changed a lot.
its only 20 gb
@@AsaadNordien on 7th gen maybe, but I mean the newer versions, they’ve had 10 years of updates, PS3 only had about 2.

Oh it's not the last Slim. So you have maybe a bit more power consumption than the B model
Thanks bro I just created this channel for ps3 gamers in 2024
You should jailbreak this piece of hardware in our days
One of the controllers is six axis only so no rumble. I'm on a ps3 buying spree myself. I have 2 phats with ps2 compatibility and I'm going to buy 3 japanese models which are special editions.
I bought PS3 in 2024, i used to have one, but i borrow it and then lost. Happens. But i was so shocked, when i realised i still can download games that i bought in 2012, kudos to sony!
I am done with all the GTA 5 missions on xbox360,ps3,ps5
I have the same ps3 i use it to play old games because of the good memories i had with it
8:46 Why this ps store looks like a ps4 ps store
I remember buying brand new PS3 superslim in 2013 for 175 euro.
Did you use it still? or is the PS3 just a collectable
Bro is it possible to play call of duty DMZ online on ps3 model?
I had a question which is the best model to get?
I bought one to jailbreak and play any game I want been loving it
I have the newest version of ps3. Ps3 superslim. Its very good console. I can play old games that are not even available in newer consoles like Elder Scrolls IV oblivion.
I used to have one of those, and one thing that nobody ever mentions with those is how convenient it was to open and close the top cover with inserting and removing the discs. I had a 500 GB model for 3 1/2 years, never really gave me any problems.
Please make a video of how to create a psn account for ps3
I don’t want to sound weird but I broke my Xbox a couple days ago and my grandpa is giving me a ps3 slim with a steering wheel, 2 controllers, and a dreamgear battery powered controller do I need to be worried about anything about this console I usually use it for games and to stream my tv shows on and especially youtube
Shows how long GTA 5 has been around, released on 3 different generations of the same console lol.
I'm trying to figure out how you still be able to get game captured to record or heck livestream ps3 gameplay
VERY BAD SPOT to put a PS3…way to hot!
I agree
Old legend 😊😊😊
wow where did you get your PS3 tho
Some dude on Ebay, I went for the one that looked to be in the best condition, was pretty cheap too!
After I saw a comparison of the different GTA5 versions, I really just prefer the original. I don't like if every goddamn thing has effects or is too sharp if not needed.
How were you able to capture the video feed? It has HDCP protection
:)
HDCP is notoriously useless.
@ChrisProAU how did you figure that out? I've been holding out on streaming PS3 games because I haven't been able to get it to work
Most HDMI switches/splitters will bypass it, and the PS3 will think you're compliant.
You could also disable HDCP on the PS3 in the settings, but this will probably limit the content you can view on it.
Bro is there any way to put windows on a ps3 if ti can it will be the best budget gaming pc 😅😅
a ps4with 2 contollers in kenya is 35k
nearly cried, nostalgia hitting hard on this video.
a second hand shop i visit had a ps3 for 60 bucks rip old teck dont want it
ps3 gpu is smaller in memory than the 360 was
Technically they have the same amount of memory (512MB in each), but how Xbox did it was better.
In games more visually intensive, the 360 gives more to the GPU while the PS3 split it evenly into 2 x 256MB which means less graphically intensive games left a bunch of memory that the system desperately needed completely unused.
Never understood that decision myself.
On the ps3 hunt myself. Only for metal gear solid 4
Ps3 had the best interface
You did buy a newer ps3 slim, causse there is NO PSHOME on it pre-installed. And pshome is returning soon as well.
Hi Guys, I bought GTA 4, Red Ded Redemption and Sleeping Dogs (which was banned in Germany at Release) in 2023. I thought I have a good time with these masterpiece’s, but Iam shocked how bad the performance is on an old PS3. I played GTA 4 on a PC when I was young and I had good memories. Is the problem the PS3 performance or are there any tricks to have a better performance. Thank you for answering. I think the best way to play these games is on PC.
which ps3 did you get btw did you get fat model they are worse than newer models (slim ones) anyway if you want to play those games on an old console you should get an Xbox 360 Gta 4 and Red dead run better on that not sure about sleeping dogs though
PS3 has bad performance, blurry visuals and low resolutions on most games. You should get an Xbox 360 instead, much better console.
@@anotherguy12 EXACTLY !
Multiplat games were generally worse on PS3
@@anotherguy12 better watch out though dont want your shitty overheating xbox to get the red ring of the death or whatever they call it
My PS3 is dead unfortunately. All those memories completely wiped 😢
Where did u bought?
Do you guys have any recommendations on what games I can play on my ps3?
