As someone who grew up with his dad always playing the ps3, i never had to set it up myself. Now that im not living with him i was somewhat lost on how to start. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for this awesome video. I was given this on a buy nothing group and knew nothing about how to set it up. My kids are playing Little Big Planet now!
Thank You So Much for making this video! I inherited a PS3 and being a senior beginner, all your information was very helpful. Now I just need to borrow a game from my co worker to test it. I watched another video to learn how to switch the language from Japnaese to English. Ready to go!
Alright I'm able to connect to Wi-Fi on the PlayStation 3 but it says that IP address is successful but it's saying Internet connection failed have you ever run into that problem
I have a PlayStation 3 that I got from a garage sale and I was wondering as to what the best wired and wireless controller is recommended that I should get for it!?
Hallo. Awesome video. Someone gave me for free a ps3 together with a game butbwhen I put the game inside it makes a noise like is it reading and thats it. The icon of the game it doesnt show .what should I do??
A neighbor gave me a Sony PS3, think it's the slim version. Got a controller & test game. Hooked it all up, and looks like it works great! I used a monitor that is more for a PC, had speakers hooked up either, so not sure what sounds are playing. Is it worth it to delete the previous owners info on the HDD? Thank you and great detailed how-to video! Have you tried upgrading the RAM? I didn't try this, but can you use the USB ports on the system to connect ones cell phone to tether for Internet service?
Very helpful video. Just a couple of things I think are worth mentioning. The 80GB CECHE01 starts out as backward compatible for PS2, but this model apparently does it through software emulation, which means that updating your software can remove the backwards compatibility. Be sure to test before buying this model. The other 2 models apparently use hardware to run PS2 games, so even if they are updated, they should still play PS2 games OK. Despite the backwards compatibility, not all PS2 games will play on PS3 for various reasons. You should also be able to play most PS1 games on any PS3 (and any PS2 for that matter.)
Why do so many people love spreading the myth of updating BC ps3s. The update myth is not true I have a CECHC02 PS3 and its on the newest firmware and it plays PS2 games
@@PatSmashYT I know nothing about the CECHC02 as it appears to be an Australian model and I am in the USA. However, from what I have read online, you have a 60GB model, the equivalent of the US CECHA01. This US version has hardware that makes it PS2 compatible. Only the 80GB CECHE01 model (in the USA) has the possible backwards compatibility issue.
I don’t have a ps3 controller but I know you can use a ps4 one but my ps3 puts up a screen saying a hdmi device was detected and then use the ps button to use the controller but it won’t pair do you know how to fix this?
It's been so long. So thanks for this. I'm making a return to gaming as a whole now I've gathered enough consoles for now & games too. Singularity - PS3. Heavenly Sword - PS3. Heavy Rain - PS3MVE.

Thank you for this tutorial. The only games that I used to play on my TV was 8bit games like Mario 30 years ago. And I've always wonder how these "modern games" are set up. It's not much of a difference to my relief. I've always been intimidated by it.
Thanks for this video. I’m having trouble with keeping my controller connected. Once I plug out out from the USB wire, the controller looses its connection to the console. I thought this was a Bluetooth controller that has wireless connection?
Oh shi... You too. I've got exactly 3. My original PS3 . And then 2 more PS3's, and I saw for a bargain in the countryside. I have played my original, a fair bit. But there's so much life in all 3 of them yet. And I'm still considering buy x1 other because 3 instead of 4?
Everything seems to work except where we put in the the game nothing happens tried 3 different ones even the ps2 game and a blu-ray nothin shows last time this was used was in 2014 that's 8 yrs ago I did all the updates what could the problem be?
I enjoyed your video but my PS3 has the sliding top to load the game. My dogs chewed the cords and I moved it to a different room. I'm trying to figure out the placement of the cords because I had 3 cords coming out of the back. There's the power cord,HDMI out,and AV multi out. I originally had someone else hook everything up. Any help would be appreciated greatly. I've watched a couple video's and yours has been the most helpful. I mainly use it to watch video's
If it's the 3 cables it the AV multi out. This is interchangeable with the hdmi cord as both are used for audio and display. The difference being av is max 480p and hdmi is 1080p. It will have a noticeable affect on picture quality. You don't need both plugged in, it's one or the other. Power is self explanatory.
Hello, sorry, I need help right now. When I run a game from Moloti, and then I have to click on 💿 to enter that game, it is deleted and is not there for me, and now how do I do it without resetting the ps3 so that all Should I remove the sign?
hi how are you , i am having problem to connect my PS3 slim with my Samsung plasma tv , i connected with AV cable but got black and white screen and hazy picture , i tried with HDMI cable but not display on tv and tried with component RGB cable BUT display
what do i do if it making weird noise when I insert the disc, it running well but I'm worried. makes in when its incerted , reading and ejected . it also hard hard reading a few disc when I tried them out , but not its reading all of them
@Gaming Enthusiast Would you know if it's normal for the fan to go faster and slow down throught use? (Got a Ceche01 mg) I was told it's normal for the fans to be loud on these units, is this true?
Can you post a video of how the controller works? I have a PS3, never gamed, and know zilch. Finding info is impossible it seems. Even the game I tried (assasins creed) said use the "pause" button to see an instruction manual which I couldn't figure out. Just getting started is tough.
Guys I'm having a biiiig problem my brother wasn't at home and i tried to turn on his PS3 I clicked on the button like a hundred times and now he's home and his PS doesn't wanna work
why call it the yellow light of death wen the yellow light is only shown for half a second before it go's to a blinking red light soooo shouldn't it be call the blinking red light of death instead? LoL
Hello! My name is Shawn. And I've just recently watched the video on UA-cam about how to hook up the PS3 to my TV. And I am still having trouble with the HDMI thing...bcuz it is saying that there is no single....what else do I need to do??
Hey buddy, need your help.. My mate just gave me his old PS3 as he does not use it any more, and im dying to play it. Hes given me 10 games with it also, however, when ive hooked it all up through HDMI the TV is recognising the PS3 and the playstation sign comes up on the TV, and all the options, but theres no option anywhere on the screen to actually start the game! HELP! the only thing i can think that it could is that when i turned it on it did tell me that i shut it down incorrectly the last time and something might need to be re-configured or something which could take a few hours. could it be this? could you give me some advice? Many thanks.

Thanks for this video. I’m having trouble with keeping my controller connected. Once I plug out out from the USB wire, the controller looses its connection to the console. I thought this was a Bluetooth controller that has wireless connection?
It may be the battery in control check it’s fully charged
what do i do if the controller wont connect?
What if it didn’t come with an HDMI cable but an av cable instead
You can plug those in and then change the input to av cable on the tv. Good question 👍
I set it up but my screen has a greyish color there are no other colors
