Picked up a PS3 last week. I can’t believe I sold it. There are still some games tied to PS3 that I can’t play on my PS5 like SSX, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Black Ops, MGS4, Infamous 1 & 2, etc. A lot of the games mentioned in this video have been ported or remastered for PS4/PS5. Like, I have no reason to play Uncharted on PS3 when the PS4 remaster looks better, plays better, and runs at 60FPS instead of sub 30. But to each’s own.
@@AbernathyCrimson yes I just prefer to play classics on original hardware like Heavy Rain, Infamous, etc. just to experience it how it was originally made but games like Demon souls I’ll play the remaster on PS5 or for the Uncharted main game and lost legacy, I’ll just play the PS5 version
Driver San Francisco is a love letter to 70s car movies. That game is HIGHLY underrated how you can shift into other cars and just listen to their conversations
This already happend in 2022 when sony wanted to close the PS3 store until they decided to keep it open due to the outrage. The prices slowly went down (first party games) and now they are climbing back up. I'm Glad i got PS3/360 games early because i knew they were going to go up in price.
Yep. I’ve been collecting for PS3 since the height of the ps4. It’s one of my favorite systems and I love all the games on it I’d hate to not have some of them then have to pay a reseller horrendous prices years later.
I just hooked mine up after years in storage. I also have the PlayStation 3D monitor. First up, I ordered the best 3D games, ‘Motorstorm: Apocalypse’, ‘Resistance 3’, and ‘Killzone 3’.
Prices have definitely started climbing on really, all PS3 games. Since they are worth more. I've been seeing more rarer games recently at my local pawn shops and retro game store. I would grab the PS3 exclusives and the rarer titles now before they get crazy expensive.

Silent Hill games are out of control. I have them all so it doesn't affect me but I feel bad for anyone who is looking to buy because they genuinely want to play them. Buying games used to be awesome.
Same for me because i kept on playing those crappy GTA games too much in my life thinking they were life simulators because i was trying to escape reality as a kid and i was always builled a lot by teachers in school and i had very little to no friends in real life.

Buying from GameStop over the years has mostly been Miss rather than Hit. Most of the times you try to buy a game from them, They give you a generic case or a sleeve.
Alice madness returns also comes with a free download for the original American McGee's Alice which was only on PC. It's the only way to get a console port of the older game
PS3 games have been going up for few years now and that includes the ps3 launch bc console and the slim. Keep an eye out for The Infamous Collection which comes with both games and all the dlc. Sly cooper collection is another one worth getting.
True gamers that get rid of their old consoles may come to regret it. being old doesn't always mean inferior. that is part of why PC gaming is amazing. we don't think about backwards compatibility. a modern computer can play a game from the 1990s. though some troubleshooting may be necessary due to missing software ware and other differences. but playable is better than no option at all.
That's exactly why I kept all my Nintendo consoles since NES all the way through Switch, including handhelds (excluding OGB and Virtua Boy, of course) PS (all Slims, from 1 to 4), and Xbox (from 360). Playable, definitely, is better than no playable at all.
funnily enough i had my ps3 in the wardrobe and dug it out after seeing lot's of games online ps3 2024 footages and i played games like tomb raider 2013, rainbow six vegas 2, battlefield 4, call of duty titles etc.. but i packed my ps3 away again as i was hearing the xbox360 store is closing down soon and i thought something is going to happen to ps3 soon aswel and possibly games going offline, but i probably will set ps3 up again as those games online ps3 videos are so satisfying to watch as it brings back memories 🤙
Sonic Unleashed had a bunch of free DLC stages but I think they’ve long since been delisted. Don’t quote me on that. Those transformers games got delisted awhile back when they did the PS4/Xbox One remasters too so definitely hold on to them. And yeah Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 is definitely top tier and I remember when it was hard to find a copy for less than $30-40 and this was years ago.
Think you meant “connecting to the internet and updating your games is dumb”? Personally I prefer to play game offline and from the disc and skip on updating. I’m getting tired of seeing games that requires internet connection BS unless I’m interested in playing multi player games with others online.
@@devincurrie4145 NOT updating your games is so dumb. Why would you want to play a worser version pre patch ? Updates add stuff to games and fixes any glitches/bugs etc. And you realize most ps3 games don't require internet connection right? Makes no sense not to update your games
Yikes I got 6 ps3 consoles and now you’re gonna make me buy more games with that info😢 at least I just bought bayonetta last year so thanks for the heads up ❤
They just bumped up Transformer fall of cybertron from 19.99 to 25 recently because I just bought copy back in April That’s crazy wet was priced at $15 * On the 360 version it’s worth like $80 it just had recent spike
This makes me want to break out the PS3 and play some old games again. I enjoyed that time of free online play and playing with random people that used mics. I think cheesing and spamming are the same but somewhat different as well. Cheesing is finding a very easy and possibly cheap way or exploit to beat someone or a boss. Spamming is finding a particular move or strategy and doing it over and over because the opponent can't counter it. I think I heard the term spamming more in a competitive sense but cheesing was more used in co-op raid situations, like we've found a way to cheese the boss. I'm also a fan of the Dynasty Warriors games going back to the PS2 and starting with 2-5, then 1 wasn't really even Dynasty Warriors the way others turned out to be and that was on the PS1.
I recently updated my hdd to 1TB in my superslim and downloaded all psplus and other games i have bought but never played. There is approx 150 titles there. Man.
I picked up fall and war for cybertron for my 360 a few months back and actually got them for a solid price...really wish i didnt sell all my 360 stuff when i grabbed a xbox one.
Yeaaaah im finna emulate that whole damn pile. Could not be bothered. Unless there's a game I really like or know could possibly be scalped on some brazy shit, then i'll cop.
Those transformers games are already around $50 when I checked on Ebay. Sucks that this is happening but at least I have the majority of the games I want for the PS3
Have 2 PS3 my OG and bought a damn near new PS3 last year for my older brother. It’s definitely the greatest console I’ve ever had with some great games exclusive and cross gen
I beat "Transformers: War for Cybertron" just recently. I loved it. It's very linear, but the level design is gorgeous. The banter between the Decepticons is especially great.
got a reballed Nov 2006 60GB around the time of PS5 launch that cost me more than the PS5. It's like a brand new system.. with all the PS3's i've been through it's nice finally having another one that looks and plays just like my 1st one. Just hope I don't have to worry about the BRD diode going out anytime soon like my original launch model... no telling what Sony would charge, now, to fix... if they'd even do it.
really thinkin about buying ps3 but one with a jailbreak, family couldnt afford this generation of console and i just wanna relive how those games looked like
I dragged both my PS3's out last week. Unfortunately all 4 of my controllers are dead as a dodo. Always worth charging stuff once a year i guess. They still work wired though.
Oh yea I forgot to say I stopped playing ps3 10 years ago when ppl started using aimbots on black ops2 and ruined the gameplay for everybody I’m just glad I didn’t smash and throw it out 😂
Lol and people laughed when I refused to sell my hard copies 😂😂 got over 50 ps3 games and over 200 ps2 games al in original boxes and with book and cover art no stickers on book at all
i think PS3 is the gen where games were at their peak PS4 not bad actually pretty good too but man so many MTX SCAMS, Censorship and WOKE Degeneracy Garbage that just kills all the joy so i think PS3 will become even more popular in the coming years
You should probably sell off: Devil May Cry HD Collection, the God of War games, & Bayonetta since there are other better releases for these games. The first one you could emulate it, or get them on PC or Switch, there's an even better God of War Collection called God of War Saga which includes 6 games, & Bayonetta you can get better versions on other platforms since the PS3 version is considered the worst version of the game. inFamous I'm a bit iffy on since there's the inFamous Collection, which has both games, but no manual.
Lightning returns is terrible, god of war depends on if you are into them, ICO is good but really only ICO. Shadow of Colossus is better on PS4, Ninja Gaiden can be bought physical for PS4 on the Ninja Gaiden collection so no reason to own it on PS3 of any version. The rest of the games I have not played so no comment on them. Dantes inferno is worth picking up and I need to get a copy for myself as well.
