That's the absolute truth, it's still beautiful and I'm a Microsoft dude.

I personally don't think it does I feel like it's too clunky and shiny compared to newer stuff

Vwry true. U know when i look at the ps3 it was truly ahead of its time with features and hdd we still use today smh. The console was very sleek and pretty. One of the best designed console's. I wish i had the phat, i have the second slim model which is ugly.

The slim and super slim ps3 looks modern and high tech in my opinion

Somehow the PS3 is better than any game console because the games you can play out of the box is over 10,000. Wii Shop does not count.

The only thing about the Xbox 360 is that I looks and feels so flimsy compared to any other console period. Its a hell of a console nonetheless.

@@gamerincorporated154 agreed.

It's was probably the only time where online gaming was actually fun & brought people together. Now, online games aren't worth playing, since game developers always release unfinished products, broken servers & also focus too much on microtransactions or loot boxes. And the sad part is, that a lot of older online games get their servers shut down over time. Which is really sad. ☹️

@@Asaylum117 nothing but facts in your statement.

@@Keytap15 I unfortenatly didn't get to experience 7th generation online gaming. I only bought the PS3 when the PS4 first launched. I only managed to play very few online games for PS3 before the servers shut down. Killzone 2 was probably my favourite online game to play on console.

Times were a lot simpler when the ps3 came out

@@ryandarko2115 I agree.

Same buddy.

I bought my first PS3 in 2020 and I love it

The only argument for an xbox 360 were certain exclusives if they were the ones you wanted and really badly programmed ports to ps3 that didn't utilize the cell processor at all. The 360 was inferior in literally every other way.

Yeah most of the old PS3 model's are toaster's. I had a 60GB and didn't want to let it go. I'd be to scared to buy one now day's. I see them here and there for decent price.

Yup they were almost on par w the red light of death x boxes

Sadly I got a 20 GB model last fall and only after a month I got the YLOD. Luckily I have the SuperSlim model to use as my actual PS3, but I had to get a cheap upscaler for my PS2.

@@Darthlucy1 undiddled with factory seal ylod models are not throwaway! Still worth $20-$25. It was a problem with the power caps surrounding the processor. This is actually fixable. Now, if someone has already gone in there leaving a path of destruction messing up the cables and guessing, while not fixing the problem, I think maybe see whatever anyone will offer. $5-$10.

@@thelegendofstonecoldstevea3205 actually, 750 GB is a max, as far as I know... it won't change performance in terms of frame rate, but textures and models will show way, way faster, and levels will load almost instantly. not totally a "game changer" but if you pirated your PS3 and use internal storage to play ROMs, it's definitely worth your while.

@@thelegendofstonecoldstevea3205 Well, in the XMB menu you will hardly notice any difference, except maybe that the icons load faster. However, there is a noticeable difference in games like GTA 5, especially when it comes to changing characters. In addition, graphics details in games like the last of us are loaded faster from an SSD than from a slow HDD. As far as I know, saved games also load faster.

How do u prevent ylod?

@@shyarknight4495 just don't get it

And you didn’t have to wait for it to get drip fed content or microtransactions bs. Edit: you got a game to have fun and play a game in those days.

The last of us be like:

I remember Soul Calibur IV in 2008 needing an update day one, and I couldn’t believe it

Yes you did a bunch of ps3 games required install and updates and whatnot. The 360 played most games right away

They were drip feeding content via DLC map packs and such. Drip feeding content started during that era!

I know I swear it would cost like 300 quid for something this high quality

For real, mine is pretty scratched up, it's very hard to find an OG backwards compatible model in such good shape

And for only 150$

That playStation is a good actor

He is from USA , in USA this is very easy

so i can safely say u are married now?

It's amazing you could just put in a disc and boom you were ready to go. Yet now as soon as you put in a game it requires to be installed and needs what feels like 1,000,000 software both for the system and the game. Mind you in saying that some PS3 games did require to be installed.

That's because to get around the (still long) load times they threw everything on the hard drive in the following generations

Are they that expensive to buy now? I got a CECHP01 Fat for $40 from Gamestop back in 2017 and that system has been great ever since, especially after I took the 500GB drive out of my PS4 and installed it in the PS3 and then slapped Multiman on it.

@@homerthompson416 only the FAT ones, they're expensive and unreliable. The slims are cheap and reliable.

@@souljastation5463 Wow can't believe how expensive PS3 fats have gotten just looking them up on Offerup a minute ago. Which is crazy because in the US the only Fats with even partial BC support are CECHA, CECHB, and CECHE. My fat is CECHP which was the last model of fat released in the US so has some die shrinks on both the CELL and RSX that keep it running nice and quiet for me, though they're not shrunk as much as the Slims. I think CECHP are 65 nm on both CELL and RSX while Slim and beyond are 45nm lithography. The fats on 90nm lithography though are the ones that use a ridiculous amount of power and seem to die off quick, and I could swear there were some models of PS3 fat that even had 65nm CELL but 90nm RSX. Surprised the Super Slims weren't made on 28nm lithography since that was widely available by the time PS3 Super Slim launched and you'd think it would have saved Sony money while making it the most reliable model. But as it stands Slim is probably the best PS3, especially CECH-21xx and before since you can put CFW on it.

@@homerthompson416 slim is indeed the best model. The fat one was just crazy for its time and so you couldn't expect it to be reliable. Then the slim adjusted everything that was wrong with the fat. The super slim was just a cheap model made to milk the last years of that gen. The fat especially 60gb is very expensive because it has the retrocompatibility but honestly I wouldn't care, ps2 games run better on a pc now...you can push some 4k, antialiasing and such on them. I believe slim models can run forever without changing the thermal paste, if you keep them in an open space and don't live in a very hot place of course.

@@freshtomato834 I'm not a fan of PCSX2 at all. Every version I have tried and every game I have tried on it has at least minor bugs like missing textures or audio slowdowns or various other graphical corruption if I run with any kind of hardware acceleration. I have never played a game on PCSX2 that wasn't littered with bugs while even on newer emulators that should be harder to run like RPCS3 and Cemu I have done full playthroughs of games that ran great. When it comes to PS2 I just stick with my PS2 Fat even though I gotta play at 480i.
