I think it's important to mention that PS3 installs work way differently from PS4/5 installs in that you don't have to copy the whole disk over. Iirc, most games required only a couple hundred megabytes or so, so having only 12 gigabytes of storage wasn't a bad deal if you mostly played disk-based games
I think it was more aimed at games purchased from the store although some games did install a large amount of data to the drive still. MGS4 was like 8-9GB from memory and GT games also had large data files so the 12GB was very limiting if you had just one of those games.
Also actually towards the end of PS3's life circle most games are trying to have no installation at all and ultilizing Blu-Ray and cache's advantage to save the storage space. Most EA physical games does that and I was shocked to see NFS Most Wanted 2012's only drawback is the initial loading is a bit longer than digital version.

I remember changing the hdd on my fat PS3. The screws holding it in the caddy were the softest screws I've ever seen. They completely stripped almost immediately, without me even using that much pressure. I had to get a pair of wire cutters to put indents into the side of the heads and rotate them that way. $600 for the console and Sony uses the cheapest screws in the universe.

@@nomissiontodifficult3054 The PS4's three designs still kept that same shape consistently throughout its size changes, while the PS3 went from fat to slim to sliding door
PS2 still on top with the four distinctive designs. Not counting all the lesser design variations for two out of those of course. Almost up there with the Megadrive really. :)
@@AltCutTV Four? You mean two (the OG one, and the Slim which looks very similar to the original, only a lot thinnier and smaller)? And yes, I don't really count the PSX since it's very different compared to the PS2.
@@netako PSX is an official PS2 product, so it should count I think. Being notably different the criteria to count after all. The fourth one would be the TV-PS2. Only the regular systems were sold in most regions though, so if only counting global availability then, sure. But that makes it all a bit boring doesn't it? ;)
It’s funny how this system doesn’t represent the OG PS3 at all. Not even in the same ballpark. It’s not a bad thing. It’s amazing that something that much smaller does the same thing at a fraction of the size and weight.
Same, I really like the super slim but nothing beats the premium feel of the “phat” with its touch sensors, but the super slim is lightweight and more portable it just feels cheaper with it's physical buttons in my opinion otherwise it's great and has the best looking official ps stand.
I currently own the ps one Slim, the ps3 super Slim and the original ps4 from 2014 with touch sensors. I plan on grabbing the ps2 slim and the ps5 slim next as I want to collect all the Slim series in black variants. Fun fact: the super slim plays ps1 disk titles.
I have always loved the Super Slim. I bought the 500GB version when it launched, and I think it is great. I like the simple design, and that there are less moving parts. Not to mention just how tiny it is.
Got this one right when they released. I was hoping for a PS3 for years at this point and there I was, in a mall with my mom, seeing a brand new model with whooping 500gbs that I've never seen before. My mom bought it for me right then and there. I cried my eyes out on the spot for what felt like good 30 minutes. Took it home, and that very day downloaded the Uncharted Drake's Fortune demo as that was the franchise I was getting the console for. 9 years later, that franchise changed my life, and I still play my PS3 to this day. Recently finished Red Dead Redemption and now going through all the MGS games. Good purchase.
Good thing I bought a modded PS3 Slim 320GB, not the modded PS3 Super Slim 500GB cause I like the premium built design on the PS3 Slim more than PS3 Super Slim.
My favorite is the PS3 slim. Sony's final revisions always feel cheap and weird. It's happened with most consoles and their handhelds, too. They get lighter, incorporate more plastic, and are less mechanical.
@@toraomc1076 he's right though. The first one felt premium, but was flimsy. The first slims didn't feel premium, but perfectly sturdy. The super slim is like all the worst parts of both, not the best like you'd expect
@@busterscrugs i don't disagree, the plastic might feel cheap but I can tell you mine has had some crazy bad falls and still looks and works great, other consoles probably would have been toast, or at least super deformed from just one of the falls in question. Thats my experience anyway, I think they're solid units at least on the inside, even if the outside is just (cheap?) plastic
Something I just learned a few weeks ago is that you're not supposed to slide the lid over physically. I didn't even know that push button existed until I took mine apart to clean it. Physically shoving it over every time is what likely led to failures as it ground down the catch.
There’s a product used for removing scratches from old-school acrylic watch crystals called Polywatch. It will take the scratches out of those gloss bits in a snap.
This is the reason why i w8 before i buy a PS5. I will see what Sony comes up with another PS5 Design (Slim, Pro, what ever). Also because imo the PS5 itself is way to big.
I recently combed through Ebay looking for a PS3 because my fat 80 died awhile ago, and I picked up a 160gb slim that died within a few days. All of the Super Slim consoles I found looked just like that one, trashed and possibly broken, with a lot of ones with broken doors. I finally decided to start looking at Japanese models, since they are region free and can be in any language. I found a White Slime 160gb complete in box for $165 shipped from Japan. Only took 5 days to get shipped from Japan. Console and controller are in pristine condition. If you are loking for a good condition PS3, don't be afraid to get a Japanese Model. Only difference between the JP and NA versions, is that Circle is the select button and Cross is back. This only pertains to the XMB and it doesn't affect NA games. I know you have imported some consoles from Japan, so seeing how nice the ones you got were, I was convinced I was going to have good luck!
I have the same system but in Bright Red and it has a 500GB Hard drive on it. It has been with me for 8 years now, Played loads of games on it, from The Last of Us, Ni No Kuni, Resident Evil 5, FFXIII, Killzone 3, I even bought some PS1 game digitally like Xenogears, Chrono Cross and Parasite Eve, fun times. And it is still running till this day! :D
When the slot loading drive on my PS3 Slim broke down, Sony India replaced it with a 500GB Super Slim for an equivalent of $100 (apparently Sony India doesn’t have a repair policy 🤷🏽♂️), as the slim was out of warranty. Most people I know, who bought the PS3 at the tail end of its EOL, got the 500GB variant. I vaguely remember there being a 250GB version of the Super Slim. I don’t know if we had a 12GB variant, here in India. 8 years on and my Super Slim still runs like a champ. Currently sits next to my PS4 Pro.
Roach droppings? I turned on my Wii once and a whole Ant colony decided to flee out the side vent! I keep my machines inside in a clean tv cabinet and don’t let dust get on them, was quite the mystery trying to work out where they came from.
I had a super slim PS3, specifically a Assassins Creed 3 bundle, and it was a really good system. I remember never running out of storage, because the one I got came with 500 GB, and this was when the biggest game to install was GTA and Destiny 1, which paired were only 120-140 GB, and those were the most storage consuming games. Others you wouldn’t even have to install, so I remember never having to worry about storage on this thing. Honestly it was kinda impressive considering the fact that the Xbox one and PS4 first shipped with also 500 GB. I will admit tho that after 3-4 years, my system kept having issues and one day my entire system got corrupted and I had to factory reset it. Still, I loved that thing back in the day. Idk if I liked it more than my 360, but it was a damm good console. Didn’t realize until I got one years later how much different the PS3 Regular slim was compared to the Super Slim.
It’s amazing that 2 generations later they only upgraded the space by 300gb. There should be a 4TB option by now. 4TB’s cost like $100 on amazon lol. Consoles are always trying to do the minimum
I promise you, after 4 RROD's in a row, I love my ps3 WAY better than any of my 360s. I only wish the cross platform games had been properly optimized for it. It seems as though SONY failed to develop proper tools for their clients to use. Its almost like they didnt fully understand the console themselves.
I have a Super Slim since it came out. But I have the Version with a 500gb HDD. In all the years I wasn't able to fill up more than 100gb. But I took good care of it and it's still in pristine condition. At the Moment it's my Netflix machine in my Bedroom. But after the PS3 I changed sides and got an Xbox. Now running the Series X since Day one.
WILD how this PS3 (500GB) model space is not that far off from the amount of GB for the PS5 (667GB). PS5 should’ve AT LEAST been 1TB and that’s still small nowadays. Awesome PS3, I was playing WWF SMACKDOWN! 2 Know your role (PS1) last night. Love the content.
I love these tear down videos, it's great for when I want to break open my consoles for the first time. Would you make a video about your basic tools that you use, the best brands to buy, etc?
250GB model (SuperSlim), Got it via "Wal-Mart" holiday bundle (Uncharted 1&2+DLC's&Avatars, InFamous 1&2+DLC's+Festival of Blood) gotta say best Christmas present of 2011. Best part when a friend of my came to our house an say "What's that?"...me, it's a PS3. He be like, No way it's hellag quiet.
I really enjoyed the video, I just wish you would have kept the video going while you cleaned the PS3 and reassembled it. I would have watched the whole video even if it was 45 minutes. I have one of these and it is very reliable and very quiet.
And its still not obsolete... so many great games of so many great franchises are still stuck on the PS3. Some like Demon Souls, Virtua Fighter 5 and the Ninja Gaiden Sigma Trilogy FINALLY made it to current hardware... but King of Fighters 13, the Capcom D&D Arcade games, Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls and countless other games other people care about are still waiting on the other side for their ridiculously overdue ports.
That's the exact model I picked up in 2014, still have it. Still use it regularly. I worry about the sliding door, and I need to give it a proper dusting, but it's a solid little console.
Whenever I get a PlayStation 3 (I sorely missed out on it during the 7th generation), this will likely be the model I get (just in the Crystal White color, because I already have enough game consoles in a boring black color) in the event I am unable to acquire a launch model PlayStation 3.
The ps3 wasn't the prettiest system imo but it was decent.. Design wise, the og ps4 is better but too noisy.. Plus, Playstation systems generally tend to be fragile..
I am thinking of buying one. What does he mean by small storage for maybe just one game? Am I not going to be able to use more than one of my discs before the memory was used up?
I remember being so confused when I saw this design thinking how different it was to my buddies OG ps3. I now own the superslim thanks to my brother in law who didn't want his anymore. Although he definitely abused the console it still runs prefect.
@@xamergt Super slim does play ps1, but you are right on it not being able to play ps2 games even with the ps2 software download that was on the store.
Had to watch this Video again as i found a working Super Slim PS3 in a Dumpster of all places and you are a Tech Genius on this stuff, thank you again.
I own this one. I wouldn't call this model "a quiet one", that's for sure. When the disc starts spinning, it makes so much noise and vibration, I was afraid the console will fall off the table.
It may look weird and cheap but its the most reliable PS3, all it needs is just dusting off+thermal paste change, no need for a complex maintenance routine like at the Fat one(delid, capacitors, PSU replacement etc.) and maybe Slim too. I also have friends that got one since release day and guess what, no issue, no "YLOD".
I have this model, but with a 500GB HDD. I bought it new back in January 2016 for 200 bucks off Overstock. While I do own a few physical games for it, I use it almost exclusively as a digital-only console (the 360 was the last console I was harrcore for physical games). I am one of those crazy hold-out gamers who was pissed when the news of the PS3, PS Vita, and PSP stores closing down. I have easily spent the cost of a PS5 at the PS3 store this year alone 🕹🤔🧐
I wish I lived next to your place, so you could open, clean and provide top maintenance for all my consoles. Which are so many. And I would pay you good money of course.
Super Slim is the best model - most compact, cool and quiet, also stop sliding it with your hand there's a button! Also they had some great colors too.
speaking from a place of privilege? in the american south you can do anything shy of nuking your house and roaches will get in it's a commonality, a fact of living here what I mean is, the homes that don't have roach problems are in areas that don't have as many roaches I'm not saying you'll have twenty roaches climbing over your walls when you turn the lights on -- just that you'll see 'em now and then, squash 'em, and move on anyways think before you judge
I just hope that Sony can work on making PS3 games available to purchase, download and play locally on the PS4/PS5 without requiring a PSN subscription.
The PSN subscription is a total scam. It basically makes you pay to use the internet you already pay for. You're not even getting dedicated servers, it's all P2P. I hate how Sony followed Microsoft with this and no one even made a fuss about it. Those companies should be sued with a class-action over this.
@@dericjames2018 No it didn't. It was exaggerated beyond belief to cope with the 360 failure rate of over 50%. Ps3 failure rate was below 3%, which is way below the normal rate for any electronic device.
It’s actually pretty durable. I’ve seen tests where they dropped heavy stuff on top and no damage to the sliding top or blu ray drive. Not a fan of the top loader, but it worked well.
It struck a good balance. Didn't have the features of the launch phat models, but it had rock solid reliability, ran cool, was very quiet, but still felt premium. All for a much more reasonable price. I always thought the super slim looked really cheap.
@@brroclliertreee6020 I understand I was just giving an opinion, the super slim looks cheap compared to the slim that is all I wanted to point out. Didn't think I had to be very specific about it lol
My ps3 super slim is such a beast. Bought new in 2013, has 27 games on the original internal drive and I've got some 35 more titles on discs. Not once have I opened it, still works like a charm with rare freezes, never had to uninstall games to get new ones on the drive. Has outlived 2 original pads (the one that came with the console is still somewhat working, just developed stick drift after 8 years of heavy usage, au contraire to what people say about DS quality). GOAT.
My newest PS3 (& new spare) slides open like that, but both are the 500g model. I bought the 500g one, then soon after, when I heard they were discontinuing them, I bought a new spare, as well, since they were cheaper. So I have a barely-used one and a new spare -- hopefully they'll both hold me off for a while when I get in the mood for an older game, which is semi-often. (Hell, my backlog will last me some years, alone).
Recently my seldomly used super slim have heating issue. I replace the thermal paste and it's good to go. It's also my 1st time doing it. Warranty is out the door giving it is over 10 years.
I have one of these sealed. For a time, I was buying a system to keep sealed towards the end of each system's life. Unfortunately in this case it means I end up keeping the most cheap feeling of the variations. My slim is still going strong so I'll probably never open it. But I kind of wish I had done it earlier and have a sealed slim
The fact he knows about roaches and all other stuff that can be found inside a used system and still doesn't use gloves while disassembling is rather unsettling
Xboxes One did. Though only for passthrogh purposes I think. There was something mentioned in early reveals that PS3 would have dual HDMI. As many early Blu-ray players did have, one being for audio only. I suspect that was the reason for PS3 as well. Would have been neat if a console could drive two monitors though. The current ones probably would be up to it.
Unfortunately my OG Phat PS3 got the yellow light of death (though it did take awhile) so I got this and a new PS2 instead of buying another phat and it has served me really well. Keep it in my room whereas my PS 2/4/5 are in my media room, and I use this almost every night either to watch blu-ray, play an old JRPG, or stream video. It's a great system.
I bought this when my FAT PS3 bricked. Mine had 500GB tho & was bundled with GTAV. I didn't mind buying another PS3 right before PS4 launch as it wasn't Back Compat.
@@attilaracz2626 I was 11 when I played the last of us and it is till this day, my favourite game franchise, I’m 18 now btw and turned out fine, if the kids mature enough to play games like that, it’s not an issue.

That system is grungier than Seattle 's music scene in the mid 90's.

Love my super slim. Grabbed one a few years ago to play Demon's Souls before the official servers shut down. Love not having the disc slot. The sliding cover might fail eventually but it's certainly easier to access!
Edit: Mine also has an HDD and not flash memory, thankfully.
This model is the worse PS3 model it’s the cheapest built and doesn’t have all the features of the OG PS3.
Iv had my super slim scene it came out! Still performing like new! Still play my games & still watching my blu rays!
@@ZackSNetwork Hard dissagree. Runs cooler, uses less energy, the drive should last longer, its quite small and light. I really would like to get a og ps3 backwars compatible BUT knowing it will die for sure...

@@ZackSNetwork Bro you can say the same things about the slim
I loved mine. fits nicely into a back pack, lightweight and runs quietly.
I still own my launch 60gb ps3 and use it daily, but I also bought a super slim because I can put it in a backpack and take it to work where I hook it up to the lunch room HDTV and play some ps3 multiplayer games while we are at lunch break 🤣
The ps3 the System that had 3 different designs that all looked wildly different.
Ps4: excuse me sir
@@nomissiontodifficult3054 The PS4's three designs still kept that same shape consistently throughout its size changes, while the PS3 went from fat to slim to sliding door
PS2 still on top with the four distinctive designs. Not counting all the lesser design variations for two out of those of course. Almost up there with the Megadrive really. :)
@@AltCutTV Four? You mean two (the OG one, and the Slim which looks very similar to the original, only a lot thinnier and smaller)?
And yes, I don't really count the PSX since it's very different compared to the PS2.
@@netako PSX is an official PS2 product, so it should count I think. Being notably different the criteria to count after all. The fourth one would be the TV-PS2.
Only the regular systems were sold in most regions though, so if only counting global availability then, sure. But that makes it all a bit boring doesn't it? ;)
Nah, I’ve seen weirder…

You're absolutely right it's really weird looks a little cheap when it comes to build quality
That's usually the point of the revisions, is to be cheaper by using cheaper parts.
It's cool and quiet, all that matters to me.
Sick n tired people saying it feels cheap. This system was built to last and that's all i care about.
@@kr4t0sg.28 no need to be offended & speak rude bruh looks are subjective for everyone, peace
Yeah, so poor.
It’s funny how this system doesn’t represent the OG PS3 at all. Not even in the same ballpark. It’s not a bad thing. It’s amazing that something that much smaller does the same thing at a fraction of the size and weight.
I bought one, early this year and I'm still enjoying it. It's actually my personal favorite version of the PS3.
Really?
@@One-12937
Yes really
Gosh..
I’ve owned all 3 versions and this one definitely feels cheap and strange. But I haven’t had any issues with it after all these years
Same, I really like the super slim but nothing beats the premium feel of the “phat” with its touch sensors, but the super slim is lightweight and more portable it just feels cheaper with it's physical buttons in my opinion otherwise it's great and has the best looking official ps stand.
I currently own the ps one Slim, the ps3 super Slim and the original ps4 from 2014 with touch sensors. I plan on grabbing the ps2 slim and the ps5 slim next as I want to collect all the Slim series in black variants.
Fun fact: the super slim plays ps1 disk titles.
I have always loved the Super Slim. I bought the 500GB version when it launched, and I think it is great. I like the simple design, and that there are less moving parts. Not to mention just how tiny it is.
Spawn wave: weirdest ps3 Sony ever released.
George forman: and I took that personally.
Got this one right when they released. I was hoping for a PS3 for years at this point and there I was, in a mall with my mom, seeing a brand new model with whooping 500gbs that I've never seen before. My mom bought it for me right then and there. I cried my eyes out on the spot for what felt like good 30 minutes. Took it home, and that very day downloaded the Uncharted Drake's Fortune demo as that was the franchise I was getting the console for.
9 years later, that franchise changed my life, and I still play my PS3 to this day. Recently finished Red Dead Redemption and now going through all the MGS games. Good purchase.
Good thing I bought a modded PS3 Slim 320GB, not the modded PS3 Super Slim 500GB cause I like the premium built design on the PS3 Slim more than PS3 Super Slim.
I bought one of those about three years ago for 50$ with a DS3. It runs cool and quiet, my fav PS3 by far.
I love the SS Model, with an SSD installed it's super quiet and faster than the previous models.
I've been thinking about installing an SSD in this system, so I might actually still go for it.
@@ArtisChronicles I have a 1TB in both my Slim and SS models and it's great.
i also did ssd upgrade for Gran Turismo , reduces loading times a bit
It gets bottlenecked by the Sata 2 interface. You should have put a 2Tb 7200RPM hard drive instead. Complete waste of money.
@@ZackSNetwork Not at all, everything runs smoother and quicker with the SSD. If anything it was totally worth it.
My favorite is the PS3 slim. Sony's final revisions always feel cheap and weird. It's happened with most consoles and their handhelds, too. They get lighter, incorporate more plastic, and are less mechanical.
Same with Xbox 360 slim, the 360 E actually took away ports.
It is your favourite because that's the one you own
@@toraomc1076 he's right though. The first one felt premium, but was flimsy. The first slims didn't feel premium, but perfectly sturdy. The super slim is like all the worst parts of both, not the best like you'd expect
@@deathbydeviceable It has its own advantages, but yes, being premium or sturdy are not one of them
@@toraomc1076 Or it could be he thinks that because the Super Slim looks and feels like a cheap POS. 🤷🏻♂️
Here in Brazil, this model (and I have one) came with a 500Gb HDD.
Maybe Brazil isn’t that bad after all
here in venezuela we also got the 500gb model, i got it on sale too back in 2014 i think
Got all 3 models, love the Super Slim which is built like a damn tank - no mechanical disc mechanisms is a huge bonus for future reliability
built like a tank? more like built like a cheap hunk of plastic lol, it looks like a Fischer-price toy
@@busterscrugs i don't disagree, the plastic might feel cheap but I can tell you mine has had some crazy bad falls and still looks and works great, other consoles probably would have been toast, or at least super deformed from just one of the falls in question. Thats my experience anyway, I think they're solid units at least on the inside, even if the outside is just (cheap?) plastic
Funny that it’s the most problematic one
@@BavarianMOG Phats had worst durability the PS2 hardware literally fried it lmao
They're wacky but I kinda like the super Slims, for some reason they now sell for a higher price than the Slim PS3
Something I just learned a few weeks ago is that you're not supposed to slide the lid over physically. I didn't even know that push button existed until I took mine apart to clean it. Physically shoving it over every time is what likely led to failures as it ground down the catch.
You didn’t notice the bug eject button on the front, did you think it was for looks
There’s a product used for removing scratches from old-school acrylic watch crystals called Polywatch. It will take the scratches out of those gloss bits in a snap.
This is the reason why i w8 before i buy a PS5. I will see what Sony comes up with another PS5 Design (Slim, Pro, what ever). Also because imo the PS5 itself is way to big.
these did come with HDD. the super slims had 250gb and 500gb versions. My first PS3 was a 500GB PS3 super slim bundled with Assassins Creed III
Currently watching this on my PS3 Hen Super Slim.
I recently combed through Ebay looking for a PS3 because my fat 80 died awhile ago, and I picked up a 160gb slim that died within a few days.
All of the Super Slim consoles I found looked just like that one, trashed and possibly broken, with a lot of ones with broken doors.
I finally decided to start looking at Japanese models, since they are region free and can be in any language. I found a White Slime 160gb complete in box for $165 shipped from Japan. Only took 5 days to get shipped from Japan. Console and controller are in pristine condition. If you are loking for a good condition PS3, don't be afraid to get a Japanese Model.
Only difference between the JP and NA versions, is that Circle is the select button and Cross is back. This only pertains to the XMB and it doesn't affect NA games.
I know you have imported some consoles from Japan, so seeing how nice the ones you got were, I was convinced I was going to have good luck!
Put an SSD in your PS3. Digital Foundry and others have shown that it stabilizes frame rates and reduces or eliminates visible texture swapping
I have the same system but in Bright Red and it has a 500GB Hard drive on it.
It has been with me for 8 years now,
Played loads of games on it, from The Last of Us, Ni No Kuni, Resident Evil 5, FFXIII, Killzone 3,
I even bought some PS1 game digitally like Xenogears, Chrono Cross and Parasite Eve, fun times.
And it is still running till this day! :D
So wanted that colour, sadly could only find the regular black one though :(
When the slot loading drive on my PS3 Slim broke down, Sony India replaced it with a 500GB Super Slim for an equivalent of $100 (apparently Sony India doesn’t have a repair policy 🤷🏽♂️), as the slim was out of warranty.
Most people I know, who bought the PS3 at the tail end of its EOL, got the 500GB variant. I vaguely remember there being a 250GB version of the Super Slim. I don’t know if we had a 12GB variant, here in India.
8 years on and my Super Slim still runs like a champ. Currently sits next to my PS4 Pro.
I love my PS3 Slim. Best version of the console IMO. More reliable than the launch PS3 and better looking than the Super Slim PS3.
My dad bought me one & I owned it for a good 2-3 years, but then he gave it away to my cousin and man that was a sad day.
Roach droppings? I turned on my Wii once and a whole Ant colony decided to flee out the side vent!
I keep my machines inside in a clean tv cabinet and don’t let dust get on them, was quite the mystery trying to work out where they came from.

You called the original PS3 the George Foreman console. The Super Slim model is what I’ve always considered the George Foreman.
I had a super slim PS3, specifically a Assassins Creed 3 bundle, and it was a really good system. I remember never running out of storage, because the one I got came with 500 GB, and this was when the biggest game to install was GTA and Destiny 1, which paired were only 120-140 GB, and those were the most storage consuming games. Others you wouldn’t even have to install, so I remember never having to worry about storage on this thing. Honestly it was kinda impressive considering the fact that the Xbox one and PS4 first shipped with also 500 GB. I will admit tho that after 3-4 years, my system kept having issues and one day my entire system got corrupted and I had to factory reset it. Still, I loved that thing back in the day. Idk if I liked it more than my 360, but it was a damm good console. Didn’t realize until I got one years later how much different the PS3 Regular slim was compared to the Super Slim.
It’s amazing that 2 generations later they only upgraded the space by 300gb. There should be a 4TB option by now. 4TB’s cost like $100 on amazon lol. Consoles are always trying to do the minimum
I promise you, after 4 RROD's in a row, I love my ps3 WAY better than any of my 360s. I only wish the cross platform games had been properly optimized for it. It seems as though SONY failed to develop proper tools for their clients to use. Its almost like they didnt fully understand the console themselves.
I have a Super Slim since it came out. But I have the Version with a 500gb HDD. In all the years I wasn't able to fill up more than 100gb.
But I took good care of it and it's still in pristine condition.
At the Moment it's my Netflix machine in my Bedroom. But after the PS3 I changed sides and got an Xbox. Now running the Series X since Day one.
I got the 500gb model in late 2012. Still used occasionally as a BluRay player.
Anytime the power goes out that's my go-to plus tv and air oh yeah can't forget the fridge
WILD how this PS3 (500GB) model space is not that far off from the amount of GB for the PS5 (667GB). PS5 should’ve AT LEAST been 1TB and that’s still small nowadays. Awesome PS3, I was playing WWF SMACKDOWN! 2 Know your role (PS1) last night. Love the content.
I love these tear down videos, it's great for when I want to break open my consoles for the first time.
Would you make a video about your basic tools that you use, the best brands to buy, etc?
250GB model (SuperSlim), Got it via "Wal-Mart" holiday bundle (Uncharted 1&2+DLC's&Avatars, InFamous 1&2+DLC's+Festival of Blood) gotta say best Christmas present of 2011.
Best part when a friend of my came to our house an say "What's that?"...me, it's a PS3. He be like, No way it's hellag quiet.
I really enjoyed the video, I just wish you would have kept the video going while you cleaned the PS3 and reassembled it. I would have watched the whole video even if it was 45 minutes. I have one of these and it is very reliable and very quiet.
And its still not obsolete... so many great games of so many great franchises are still stuck on the PS3. Some like Demon Souls, Virtua Fighter 5 and the Ninja Gaiden Sigma Trilogy FINALLY made it to current hardware... but King of Fighters 13, the Capcom D&D Arcade games, Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls and countless other games other people care about are still waiting on the other side for their ridiculously overdue ports.
Me: innocently turns on this video while eating dinner.
Him: roach droppings throughout the inside of the system.
Also me: dinner is now over… 😏😏😏😏
That's the exact model I picked up in 2014, still have it. Still use it regularly. I worry about the sliding door, and I need to give it a proper dusting, but it's a solid little console.
I still can't believe they released something so cheap looking/feeling.
Yeah i have one and it works but i would prefer if it was not so cheap looking/feeling.
By this point Sony had lost over a couple of billion on the PS3 so it's not that hard to imagine they went cheap as possible.
I chose a super slim to play my ps3 collection. I know it looks cheap but I actually really like it. Less things to malfunction too
The first time I saw this thing in a Best Buy I thought I was looking at a DVD player.
bought one on eBay earlier this week 🤗
Whenever I get a PlayStation 3 (I sorely missed out on it during the 7th generation), this will likely be the model I get (just in the Crystal White color, because I already have enough game consoles in a boring black color) in the event I am unable to acquire a launch model PlayStation 3.
I like the way this PS3 looks, I just didn't like the noise it made when the disc was spinning .
All the PS3 models are noisy b******s, hell the PS4 continued that trend.
The ps3 wasn't the prettiest system imo but it was decent..
Design wise, the og ps4 is better but too noisy..
Plus, Playstation systems generally tend to be fragile..
@@xigbar1994 not at all the other PS3 were quiet to me
I am thinking of buying one. What does he mean by small storage for maybe just one game? Am I not going to be able to use more than one of my discs before the memory was used up?
There are 3 storage variants for the super slim. 12g. 250g. and 500g. Avoid the 12g, and you won't have storage problems.
I had the super slim ended up selling it and getting the slim it just looked and felt so cheap.
Got the 4000 model with the gta 5 bundle in like 2012. Still play Oblivion and New Vegas amonst games like saints row 2 to 4 Megaman legends etc
I remember being so confused when I saw this design thinking how different it was to my buddies OG ps3. I now own the superslim thanks to my brother in law who didn't want his anymore. Although he definitely abused the console it still runs prefect.
I love these videos and the weekly podcast more than the news wave you do. They’re good too, but I like when you do different stuff.
I recommend a slim vs super slim in general custom firmware is better and it's more reliable imo.
Yes super slim is shit doesn't play ps1,2 games
@@xamergt Super slim does play ps1, but you are right on it not being able to play ps2 games even with the ps2 software download that was on the store.

Don't spread false shit like that
Just a reminder, DO NOT slide the door open with your hand! There IS an eject button on this model to open the door!
Yeah they just stripped out everything that wasn't absolutely necessary. FYI it only has 9gb of usable memory.
Had to watch this Video again as i found a working Super Slim PS3 in a Dumpster of all places and you are a Tech Genius on this stuff, thank you again.
I missed these type of video. I started watching the channel because of these and I am even repairing my old hardware now.
I own this one.
I wouldn't call this model "a quiet one", that's for sure.
When the disc starts spinning, it makes so much noise and vibration, I was afraid the console will fall off the table.
Exactly. The slim version in very quiet compared to the super slim when using blu ray discs
It may look weird and cheap but its the most reliable PS3, all it needs is just dusting off+thermal paste change, no need for a complex maintenance routine like at the Fat one(delid, capacitors, PSU replacement etc.) and maybe Slim too.
I also have friends that got one since release day and guess what, no issue, no "YLOD".
Ps3 has some of the best games sony has ever made. And the super slime is great
Super Slime? Is that from Dragon Quest?
Top 10 ?
I have this model, but with a 500GB HDD. I bought it new back in January 2016 for 200 bucks off Overstock. While I do own a few physical games for it, I use it almost exclusively as a digital-only console (the 360 was the last console I was harrcore for physical games).
I am one of those crazy hold-out gamers who was pissed when the news of the PS3, PS Vita, and PSP stores closing down. I have easily spent the cost of a PS5 at the PS3 store this year alone 🕹🤔🧐

I just hope that Sony can work on making PS3 games available to purchase, download and play locally on the PS4/PS5 without requiring a PSN subscription.
The PSN subscription is a total scam. It basically makes you pay to use the internet you already pay for. You're not even getting dedicated servers, it's all P2P. I hate how Sony followed Microsoft with this and no one even made a fuss about it. Those companies should be sued with a class-action over this.
This is actually one of the most solid PS3 imo. Failure rate was low compared to the others
True but failure rate wasn't really the problem with the ps3
@@junglezone7323 the fat had huge failure rate.

No it didn't. It was exaggerated beyond belief to cope with the 360 failure rate of over 50%. Ps3 failure rate was below 3%, which is way below the normal rate for any electronic device.
It’s actually pretty durable. I’ve seen tests where they dropped heavy stuff on top and no damage to the sliding top or blu ray drive. Not a fan of the top loader, but it worked well.

There was something mentioned in early reveals that PS3 would have dual HDMI. As many early Blu-ray players did have, one being for audio only. I suspect that was the reason for PS3 as well.
Would have been neat if a console could drive two monitors though. The current ones probably would be up to it.
