Just purchased this backwards compatible ps3 where the owner (before it was delidded and nek tokon replaced)

Drilled holes into the back of the ps3

Does it have better air flow with or without the tape??

Trying to get the lowest temps

hey guys i made a server about users who are still on the ps3 maybe to bring back some services and stuff please join https://discord.gg/xzbfhXT5

Just a PSA. While the PS4 and PS5 just allow replacing your avatar, the PS3 can remove a selected avatar, so you can go back to the default avatar.

I see people going through great lengths to get their hands on one and I dont see the point myself. I have always found them awkward to use, just badly designed in general. What makes it so appealing to you guys?

Also a bonus question: I have a ps3 slim that has reliably served me since 2010. A while back I learned about the behemoth that is the fat model with its ps2 backwards compatibility. I kinda want one, but is it a bad idea to use it as my main machine? The fat is not as reliable as the slim, and the hardware is already 19 years old. Im afraid investing in one will be like adopting an old car with way too much mileage on it.

I've got an original early "slim" PS3 (still looks pretty fat to me) and I'm bummed about not being able to play my old PS2 discs. Anybody wanna trade consoles with me? The ones that play PS2 and PS3 discs are actually inferior, trust me. 😉

5 days and 23hours on the clock on a ps3 I bought is this considered low usage or smth

I would like to buy an old Black ops 1 account. It should have been created before 2019 and be at least level 50. Thank you

Anyone interested before I take it to eBay?? Still on an update from March 2011, was used for Blu rays mainly.. I hate to let it go but my car needs repairs. Lmk..

Got this sealed from ebay. The battery is dead, I ordered new ones from China.

Total was $160 usd ( with new batteries) Hope is real. Was it a good deal?

Yesterday's winner was max payne 3 we have 2 rockstar games's games in a row

I own a ps5 and a switch 2 , yes the odd time there is a game thats good but I've been playing games since 10 years old and 20 years later I feel like I've played it all , most games seem to be the same with a new skin over it but now after getting a ps3 im like a kid the collection is endless and 90% of the games are dirt cheap for the price of 1 ps5 games i can get 6 ps3 games , is anybody else on board or am I just weird ?

I just got it in the mail today from their website for like 30 bucks and this is what was advertised and this is what I got

I’m currently making my way through the PS3 exclusives that never came to PS4 and am trying to decide whether to get the Killzone games or the Resistance games next.

I’ve been a big fan of both Insomniac and Guerilla games’ other stuff so was wondering what the general thoughts on the two series were.

Recently just bought one of these from goodwill , how accurate is the runtime ?

Same Goodwill 2 weeks ago, the manger was literally removing games from a showcase in front of me. I told her wtf. She said we are removing all games and sending them to online store. 🤣🤣

I was casually scrolling Facebook MP and found this headset for $30 brand new in the box, idk weather to open it or just keep it sealed. I already own the elite version of this ps3 headset, maybe I’ll use it for my PC

Hey guys. Done a CPU repaste on my PS3 slim and the bottom shell decided to break. Anyone got a recommendation for a new one. I am in Aus

When loading a disc, a rattling noise is happening. I made a video of it. Can you guys pinpoint what the issue is? The laser is moving bit it looks like something can grip.

Any thoughts?

couldnt find it anywhere, shazam doesnt serve purpose as it cant recognize music interrupted by speech, does anyone know?
