Agreed! Three home consoles that were all very good, and sold 80 million plus, each. That's never been seen before or since. Not to mention the handhelds at the time, the DS, the PSP and the tail end of the GBA. Awesome times.
Since, yeah. But it still it was a smaller jump than PS2/Xbox/Gamecube/Dreamcast coming from PS1/N64/Saturn. And the 5th gen coming from the SNES/Genesis etc. And it's only going to be smaller and smaller, diminishing returns.
@@moonfrostgaming1988 The jump wasn't really in graphic capability (Which was still immense) it was the jump is what the consoles could do in totality.
Golden age of modern console gaming. 1)They still work 2) A crossroads of online play that actually worked and a 1080p capable console. Both had big libraries as well. It hasn't been the same since. Everything Xbox one and forward hasnt been that huge of a leap.
I think it's the only generation which kept the competition on its toes. The Wii,ps3 and 360 all were highly successful even if there might have been some setbacks
Lets not prop up the 360 too high. Just about all of us suffered the Red Ring of Death. It took a couple iterations for that console to become a polished gem. It was a nightmare
@@gamespost1226 On the ps3 it was always free to play online. I'm still playing black ops 1 and 2 online. But since the ps4 we have to pay just like xbox players. it sucks.
Stopped gaming after I owned a PS1. started with a 8 bit Nintendo. Some months ago I bought PS3 with many games. Wow haha love titles like Skyrim, Asassin Creed and Final Fantasy. 46 years old and started a new gaming career hobby.
PS3 has a huge library of single player games that I enjoy playing to this day. It can even play PS1 discs as well and it's also a pretty good DVD/Blu-Ray player as well. My PS3 collection has been expanding recently and I'm happy with the collection that I have.

@@--Traveler-- Exactly mate, this is why I like physical copies on the ps3 , just put the game in and play. Someone gave me a ps4 a few years back, and I couldn't believe the amount of downloads I had to do just to play the game. All that for the sake of graphics and patches. No thanks.
I got a PS3 at a pawn shop for $15USD back in January. I diverged from Sony after the PS2 as my family couldn’t afford a PS3 plus games and I went the Xbox route for the new era. Now that everything is cheap and people don’t care about the PS3 I’m finding that it’s the right time to collect.
Playing my PS3 for the first time will always be one of my favorite gaming moments. The gameplay and graphical leap from PS2 was insane and every game blew my mind. Unfortunately I didn't get that feeling with my PS4, I don't think I could tell you what games I played first sadly. Whereas I can remember every PS3 game I played over those first few months. Truly amazing memories.
5:26 you've got the exact same Demo 1 disc as me!! Absolutely mesmerizing those demos were when I was 6 years old ('97). Still got it too btw! Lifeforce Tenka rocked.
The PS3 was difficult to make games for, but it was still great because of its high definition visuals. It was a precursor to modern-day gaming and consoles. And of course, there were some of the greatest games; Uncharted, The Last of Us, Demon's Souls, Tools of Destruction, Infamous, Resistance Fall of Man, LittleBigPlanet and Heavenly Sword to name a few
I still play my Playstation 3 until today and gotta say it’s a great great console with very good graphics. Play Killzone 2, it’s far better than Concord, for exemple haha
The slim model 2000-series is the way forward, not the phat (which has known hardware manufacturing faults). With CFW a 2000-series slim can do ps1-2-3 and lots of homebrew/emulators etc. and won't fail 10 minutes after you buy it. Swap in a 1TB SSD, load up with 250+ games etc. The psn exclusives are pretty amazing, Outrun Online, HOTD4, many others.
The free online experience beats everything! The reason why I never switched to ps4. Also, playing splitscreen online without having to log in to another account :)
I got a beautiful backwards compatible playstation 3 original 80gb I paid only $75 and got two good controllers. I am so happy with that console and I'm so proud of getting it again in 2024. I'd rather have my PS3 than a PS4 or a PS5 unless I got the 30th anniversary ps5
The Xbox 360 was my first console, and I sold it years later after finishing all the games I wanted to play. Then I bought an Xbox One, which I still have today. I still have 30 games in my library that I want to finish on it. That said, I’ve always wanted to play some PS3 exclusives, so instead of getting an Xbox Series X or PS5, I bought a PS3 Slim for just $40. I spent an hour cleaning and repasting it, and now it’s working like a charm. It’s been 18 years since the PS3 FAT was released and 15 years since the PS3 Slim launched. It’s amazing how much fun it still brings in 2024, while users are already complaining about games for the PS5 or X/S. My recommendation is to buy PS3 before it gets much more expensive. PS3 and Xbox 360 are probably the best retro consoles on the market right now and you can buy them for pennies...
Burned CD's (Music and Movies) DVD's Music CDs Blu Ray Movies Playstation 1 Games (Maybe Playstation 2 Games) Playstation 3 Games This console is a Beast! I love my PS3 😍🤗🙏
I got 2 slims and 1 super slim, just in case. Thinking about buying another super slim just to be safe. Also recently got gold on all GT5 races inculding Vettel where you play 3 maps. Ring, Monza and Suzuka took me 3 weeks to complete these 3 races legit with a damn controller. Was doing circles everyday for at least 5 hours. What a rollercoaster of emotions it was. I'm only left with 24 hour endurace races to reach damn lvl 50, what a grind. Wish me luck :D P.S. love format of your video very entertaining, please do more. If you could do Killzone 2 Multiplayer video that would be bonkers! 😂
Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, GTA IV and V, Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, Skyrim, Uncharted, God of War, The Last of Us... the golden era of video games
Ps3 2500 models are the best for everything. It has the shrinked rsx, good cooling and can still be jailbroken, also overclocking is a thing. I do love those phat models but sadly those will die if you don’t swap the rsx
For some reason I liked the xbox 360 more than the ps3. Still both were amazing. I never understood these why you need a ps3 in 2024. The graphics look incredible bad on a 4k display. Yet with moving some stuff around, I created some open space at my desk where my pc is and I filled that space with the ps3, 24inch full hd screen and I was actually amazed how good it looked ! So yeah , i get it now :D
I have a launch 60GB Phat PS3 and I have not figured out anywhere to get it repaired. It powers off with a beep 1 second after trying to power on. (No YLOD, only the red power light). I would love to get this working again as it was the most fully-featured console, EVER
Yeah, so the majority of ps3 games actually don’t run in 1080p. 720p was the standard for that system due to how hard it was to develop for. Just take a look at the back of the game cases you own and you can check to see which support 1080p or not.
the best thing about the PS3 is you can easily mod the shit out of it, i mean you can literally put in a laptop HDD (i got superslim) and it works like normal. You get tons of homebrew content on internet that may help you get always something new to your gaming experiance. And also when moded you can emulate PS2, PS1 games with smooth fps,,, its perfect for someone that doesnt have a computer with NASA hardware installed.
Most importantly (for me) is the media player, music player. The PS3 is by far the most elegant and pleasing to watch for hours on end while the system plays music with that perfect screensaver without any text or blocks to burn in your tv... Sadly, the newer models ps4/5 don't have any function to just listen to music and watch something nice, they force text and boxes in static and if left on for hours (like we do with music), this can and will burn in your LED tv... I don't know why Sony went backwards with their media players. The PS3 is the best media player of all playstations and justifiable to buy one for that single purpose. ...imo, the best combo is the ps3 for media, and a ps5 for new games and higher frame rates,...but also the future will probably be the ps3 and ps6, 7, or 8 until they return to a good media player.
Personally, I wouldn’t go for the PS3 Fat because of the 90nm and 65nm RSX chips (except maybe a Frankenstein one with a 40nm RSX). They will fail eventually; it's just a matter of when. The PS3 Slim with a 40nm RSX is a better option. Softmodding is possible, and overclocking to a good extent too. The PS3 SS is nice with its 28nm Chip, but no modding
The online service is missing features that are on 360, but being free is great. I occasionally play games like yakuza and Valkyrie chronicles, but honestly cod world at war is fairly active and the arcadey multiplayer sucks up most of my game time. I've got great value out of playing this one game on a second hand super slim 🔥
Have a 80gb fatty, and the problem that kills it for me is the jet engine noise, I changed the 15 blades fan for the 19, change the paste and the ram pads. no dice Also have 1 slim and 2 super slims and the hdmi output died in all 3 of them
That's a bummer, is it that hard to fix the hdmi issue? If not then at least you have a salvageable consoles, I know on some hardware it's an ic that breaks but if it's the ports it's best to get someone skilled to replace them if you haven't done it before, if it's a case of replacing the ports someone who is skilled can do that easily.
@@jriffin6331 nah, you just need to swap a chip, but I don't know how to do it and is around a 100 dolar repair in my coutry, for that money you can just buy a used one in a pawn shop with a original controller and a couple of games
anyone who says "setting the stage for some downright banger moments" clearly never grew up in the PS3 era or was at minimum still a child and this was likely their 1st console the overuse of SFX throughout the video is also a clear indication
Daymn dude, I apologise for trying to be unique. I mean yea this isn't an ordinary tech channel since my vision is to combine entertainment and informative content. The whole 7th gen is my childhood, with the PS3 being the one I believe I've spent the most hours on. Many of my buds had one as well. In fact, we got the PS3 (chrome trim) on release day. I can't talk about it or what you on about? Wasn't it ''banger'' moments back then? Or is it the type of language I use?
…except that, apart from around 10 games, you may as well have saved your time and just waited for the PS4 remasters and enjoyed a much better experience. Then of course, there was PS3 Skyrim. That’s 300 hours of my life I won’t get back 😔.
I’ve been thinking of getting the ps3 I have the ps5 but it doesn’t have the older games. However I really want the special edition dk if it will be worth it
Ive had my family PS3 for years but I finally got my very own PS3 phat in 2021 I had to buy one considering the family PS3 was used way too mutch and sounded horrible I was supposed to buy the new Nintendo switch lite but I said they didn't have any in stock lol 😂
I’m buying one, and put CFW on it!! it’ll be the first item in my retro preservation!! I’m still waiting on the switch to be more accessible after CFW!! So I won’t buy that yet!!
many games have gotten remasters and it's kinda weird and obsolete to play them on your PS3, but in general it is a legendary console that 'born' those games
First gaming system I owned was a ps3. I think the graphics are still excellent. I got a ps2 after the ps3 and the graphics SUCK even with an hdmi adapter. I also have a ps4 now. Can’t see why anyone would even want to play a ps2 unless there is way better solutions to make the graphics look better. The ps3 & ps4 looks so much more realistic.
Dude your too funny! Keep up the good work!!
Woah! Appreciate it a lot ma dude! Really glad you enjoy my work, more to come!

If not then at least you have a salvageable consoles, I know on some hardware it's an ic that breaks but if it's the ports it's best to get someone skilled to replace them if you haven't done it before, if it's a case of replacing the ports someone who is skilled can do that easily.
@@jriffin6331 nah, you just need to swap a chip, but I don't know how to do it and is around a 100 dolar repair in my coutry, for that money you can just buy a used one in a pawn shop with a original controller and a couple of games
That's why i purchase over 650+ games for ps3 in 3 months. And second reason game prices will increase in 1 or 2 years like on Xbox 360 now
anyone who says "setting the stage for some downright banger moments" clearly never grew up in the PS3 era or was at minimum still a child and this was likely their 1st console
the overuse of SFX throughout the video is also a clear indication
Daymn dude, I apologise for trying to be unique. I mean yea this isn't an ordinary tech channel since my vision is to combine entertainment and informative content.
The whole 7th gen is my childhood, with the PS3 being the one I believe I've spent the most hours on. Many of my buds had one as well. In fact, we got the PS3 (chrome trim) on release day.
I can't talk about it or what you on about? Wasn't it ''banger'' moments back then? Or is it the type of language I use?
…except that, apart from around 10 games, you may as well have saved your time and just waited for the PS4 remasters and enjoyed a much better experience. Then of course, there was PS3 Skyrim. That’s 300 hours of my life I won’t get back 😔.
I swear, my ps3 controllers collect more dust than my ass.
I’ve been thinking of getting the ps3 I have the ps5 but it doesn’t have the older games. However I really want the special edition dk if it will be worth it
You can always start off with a regular PS3 and resell later :)
Ive had my family PS3 for years but I finally got my very own PS3 phat in 2021 I had to buy one considering the family PS3 was used way too mutch and sounded horrible I was supposed to buy the new Nintendo switch lite but I said they didn't have any in stock lol 😂
I have two 320g slims, I want more
I’m buying one, and put CFW on it!! it’ll be the first item in my retro preservation!!
I’m still waiting on the switch to be more accessible after CFW!! So I won’t buy that yet!!
Not me watching this with a launch model PHAT ps3, a hen modded ps3 slim and my daily driver ps3 super slim.. 😅
I still play mine.
I still have my backwards compatible PS3
18 years!!!
many games have gotten remasters and it's kinda weird and obsolete to play them on your PS3, but in general it is a legendary console that 'born' those games
It s cheap and graphic are alright. Full game on Blu ray, huge library. 🎉🎉
First gaming system I owned was a ps3. I think the graphics are still excellent. I got a ps2 after the ps3 and the graphics SUCK even with an hdmi adapter. I also have a ps4 now. Can’t see why anyone would even want to play a ps2 unless there is way better solutions to make the graphics look better. The ps3 & ps4 looks so much more realistic.
Ps2 got good games
It was actually $600 😅
The US Postal Service destroyed my PS3 slamming it down like that. Please don't.
I love motorstorm on ps3 lol
360 was just so clear this generation
Ps2 ps3 were my favorite times
You can even play games in 3D like motorsport Or call of Duty black ops 2
Great points. Nice cat.
Appreciate it! I'll show him your comment when I get back home :)
Edit: Cat was indeed very happy
