The PS3 is one of my all time favorite consoles. The Backwards comaptibility, Blu-Ray playback, clean XMB menu and look of the Fat models feel so premium even today. I have a Frankenstein CECHC myself, expensive but well worth the price to me. I miss 2006 Sony
I think I purchased a pre-frank 40GB Fat CECHG02 PS3 that seems to have also been pre-jailbroken haha I think it originally had a 90nm GPU but was switched out with a 65nm one. I paid about $100 AUD total for it. Hopefully it was worth the purchase. I have a spare 240GB ssd laying around so I might upgrade it with that too.
My drive by: have you played Parasyte Eve? I listened to an hour long or so analysis that went over the book, movie, and game, and was curious on your thoughts
Buying a used original PS3 60GB fat model and softmodding it was the best $200 I've spent (then a couple more for a 2TB SSD). I mostly do PS3/PS2/PS1 emulation, but just having "old reliable" around feels nice.
This is a very blessed upload. One thing I'd like to note regarding the controller issues near the beginning at the video; this is a very common issue (the seemingly random inputs) with Dualshock 3's nowadays regardless of their condition and how much they've been used. Fortunately, the issue is very easy to fix. There is a ribbon cable that's seated to the motherboard with a piece of 'foam'. This 'foam' degrades over time, so the ribbon cable is not longer connecting to the motherboard properly. Just fold a piece paper and cut it to size and place it under the foam. Or use a piece of double sided tape. Your controller should work perfectly again (assuming there are no other underlying issues, from my experience it's a perfect fix 8/10 times)
I'm typically a PC player these days but I kept hold of my PS3 & don't regret it, it's nice being able to pickup weird games for it on the cheap (& the PS1), also 3D Dot Game Heroes is really cute & fun so I double on that vouch, been considering using it for homebrew/emulation but I've only really done that with handhelds
I wasn't able to get one until I was a teenager a couple of years into the PS4's lifespan. Even then my dad had to take a loan apparently LMAO. I was stuck with a PS2 for an entire generation. I'm still really grateful for that because of the fact that the heavy hitting games in 2014-2015 were literally just pocket change and the eventual release of PS3HEN. I got Infamous and uncharted 1 and 2 for $5 at GameStop.
I understand how you feel about your OG fat PS3. I remember when my dad got our first PS3 back in 2007, although it quickly YLOD'd, but fortunately he was able to get it replaced as it was covered by a warranty. I have so many memories playing on that thing during my highschool years especially with games like COD4, Street Fighter 4, and the Naruto Storm games, and the backwards compatiblity with my PS2 game discs was a godsend. Eventually I graduated highschool in 2010 and joined the military the following year. While I was away at my first base, I would eventually come to find out that my dad had given away our fat PS3 and all my PS3 games to my aunt without telling me, which I remember being upset by since I had alot of save data and memories on it and also really valued the backwards compatibility functionality of it. I ended up picking up a PS3 slim as well as getting a fat PS2 for my PS2 games, which worked well, but I always missed the convenience of having it all in one on the sexy fat boi PS Tripple. My aunt definitely got her mileage out of the OG PS3, and played the heck out of it, it would eventually YLOD'd as well at some point during the mid 2010's. My aunt sadly passed away a few years ago and my dad ended up giving me the old PS3 and my original PS3 games, as well as my aunts PS3 and PS2 games (she was quite the gamer and had good taste, lol) it was bittersweet getting my OG PS3 and games after all these years but sadly the PS3 is dead as mentioned prior. I hope I can one day get it fixed somehow and play on it again. Whats kinda morbid but funny is that my grandma passed away in 2013 while I was still in the air force, and her funeral dvd is stuck in the fat PS3 disc drive when it YLOD, my dad has been asking me to get it out for him, so I gotta figure out how to remove it. My grandma and my aunt haunt my fat PS3 to dis day, lol
4:38 The DS3 glitching out with random inputs is due to a ribbon connector, and is an easy fix (no soldering required). Plenty of vids on YT showing how it's done.
@@HikikomoriMedia it is man, I'm hoping more people get it and we can see the long term results from it to see it's true worth (sourcing the chips, labor and shipping ain't cheap). But three generations of great console gaming under one roof? It is a retro geek must have.
I love my ps3 slim. It may not play ps2 games since it's not modded but that's ok. There were only a small handful of games that interested me and some of them got remasters on ps3. Ps1 is where it's at. I had tons of games that I loved on it. Time to rebuild my physical collection for it. Still adding to ps3 as well.
I personally use the Defender Bluetooth Edition for ps3 from retro fighters. Full compatibility with BC games and the PS button works great, for those looking for an alternative without all the USB stuff
Neat. I picked up a PS3 fairly recently, and I'm anticipating giving it the "unofficial" treatment once I've wrung the usefulness out of the stock setup.
Still playing my PS3 and PSVita a lot. Something about that era of gaming is just more entertaining than a lot of what I come across now...not counting Cyberpunk 2077, that game is gold. My favourite Playstation Move game is House of the Dead 4.
There are a bunch of JP PS3 games worth picking up as well: - Caladrius Blaze (port of arcade/360 ver. with all DLC, later ported to PS4/PC) - Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss, with all DLC on disc. I think this is also available in EU, but NA only received this DLC digitally. - Gal*Gun (port of 360 ver. with extra stuff and PS move support, also remastered on Switch/PC) - Ketsui (also on 360/PS4) - Koihime Enbu (also on PS4/PC) - Mamorukun Curse (port of arcade/360 ver. with all DLC) - Onechanbara Z (port of 360 ver. with extra stuff) - Phantom Breaker Extra (also on 360, Omnia ver. on PS4/Switch/PC) - Puyo Puyo Tetris (also on 3DS/Vita/Wii U/PS4/Xbox1/Switch/PC) Ridge Racer 7 and Eternal Sonata are also worth picking up for PS3 since they are also 360 ports with extra content. Both available in English
I was a little late getting into the ps3 since I was playing way too much Xbox 360 at the time. Definitely one of my favorite consoles now (at least the BC model).
I still play mine. I don’t have a PS4 or PS5. I have the slim. I just opened it up, cleaned it out and replaced the internal battery. It’ll be good for another 18 years.
God I love the ps3. Sony had actual creativity, and the games library is amazing. A bit too much screen tearing, but what can ya do. Great video, makes me wanna buy some games
Revisiting the PS3 as well this year; opted for the 4301c model as it has the smallest GPU/CPU (draws less power, less likely to implode). Can't wait to clean 'er up, slam an SSD in there and re-apply some thermal paste.
Been watching this video like a million times, I finally got myself the super slim ps3 a couple of weeks back, came back to your video to see what else I need. I got Ico, the infamous collection, and I’m waiting on getting Tokyo jungle when I get a chance. I had to get puppeteer digital , a physical is crazy expensive
puppeteer jumped in price after Sony announced the closure of the digital storefront (which they retracted shortly after). The PS3 has the CBOMB, so unless you hack it, physical is the only way to keep your games.
I just got a fat PlayStation about a week ago I have every PlayStation from one through five now but when I was a kid I got a brand new PS3 slim that was with GTA v came out it was awesome but I've had many PlayStation 3s got rid of them got more wish I would have just kept the one I had since I was a kid lol great console
I'm also one of those PS3 users! I'm still working through its outrageous backlog of 1$ flash sale games I bought across the 2010s. Next on my list are Alundra, Threads of Fate, and maybe finishing Dead Nation that I got for free after that major PSN hack from back in the day.
Good stuff! Really sucks about the CBOMB issue as someone who likes to collect trophies. In any case, this video helped me add a few games to my wanted list that weren't there before.
This is one of my favorite channels, great content, I also have a PHAT PS3 because I am such a fan of older games and suck at emulation, such a shame that Sony dropped the ball on PS2 /1 backwards compatibility, anyways wanted to leave a comment to help the algorithm, keep up the great work!
Good selection of games to spotlight. Gave a quick look to local store websites and one of them recently received a bunch of sealed PS3 games, including Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day. Not letting that one slip.
I have a Xbox series X and I got a ps3 last year and I have missed out on some of the best story driven games on the market. I will be building my ps3 collection now
Great video man! 😎 I also love my ps3 and play it from time to time. I think Twisted Metal also has private servers with dns changes like Demon's Souls. People must play their PS3! There are many disk games in the wild, the digital store still works somewhat and you can play free online. Last but not least - ps1 backward compatibility and movies on dvds/blurays. What more could you ask for? 😊
Dude. This is awesome. I found this in my recommends and., yeah, you've earned my sub, like, and mad respect I thought I was very well learned on the ps3 and a hidden gems but I learned a few things Cheers
god I love the PS3. the type of people who shit on that generation don't understand that while it had mishaps and games that ran like shit (looking at you Drakengard 3), all of those things contributed to giving it a feeling all its own; while also being a necessary bridge between the PS2/PS4. we would not have any modern day bangers had it not been for the PS3's awkward early HD and its attempts to push beyond what its hardware was capable of.
The Dualshock 3 is one of my favorite controllers. I play my PC games almost exclusively with it. I work at a thrift store, and I've managed to get quite a few of them. So many that I realized there are different models with different drawbacks and strengths. I guess depending on which model it is, it could be one of their best or one of their worst controllers.
how do you manage to make them not start pressing random buttons? I already had 4 ds3s and all of them had the same issue, something about the flat cable being loose or something. Fixing them never really worked, and now I use a dualshock 4 on ps3 with a magic-ns adapter
Still play on my soft-modded PS3. Well I did until that latest firmware update from Sony came out :( BTW there are some decent 3rd part controller options for the PS3 - Retrofighters Defender (BT) and the QRD Spark N5 (BT). Both feature six-axis and can wake the PS3 using the HOME button. The QRD has hall effect sticks, two remappable buttons, turbo and RGB LEDs but lacks pressure sensitive buttons with the exception of the left and right triggers. The Defender appears to be fully featured with turbo function but not a lot else. Are they as good as the stock controller? That remains to be seen but so far they are pretty good.
The PS3 probably had the best user menu/home screen of all consoles by far. My favorite small feature was that some different themes could be used to transform the entire UI, which just made that home screen the slightest bit more cozy, comfortable, or special to keep coming back to.
@@musicology3552 The DLC was nuts. You could run a robot dog or a Salary Man. They couldn't breed and their lifespan capped at 100 years. TJ just never gets old.
LOL I ordered that HDD bay from Ali Express.. Will arrive in December.. However I am super happy with my Super Slim. It is so small and also silent.. It feels fresh and cool..
i did the 650 750 and in uncharted 1 its stays right around 30 FPS and the temps are CPU 52c GPU 46c. going to try some more game and see if it stays stable i have a fat CECHL01 with a fan upgrade chip ( i know i could use my CFW for the fan but i bought it before i knew i was going to jailbreak) with a 19 blade whispermoon that was way to expensive but there are hard to find now cleaned it out and changed the paste. i would love to send it out ad have someone swap out the chip for a super slim chip. happy modding everyone!!!
7:15 another point about the DS4 being paired via bluetooth or via the charging cable is that if you have a hacked PS3 slim, any PS2 games you play via ISOs will not work with a DS4 and you have to use a DS3. I don't know if a Cronus fixes this, maybe someone who ones one can confirm that.
I have so many PS3 peripherals. I use my PS3 Monitor as a second monitor when I’m not using it to play 3D. I’ve got all 5 of my PlayStation cameras all set up 😂
I like the Dual shock 3 I have had battery life issues with the ps4 and ps5 controllers in loading up on PS3 games at the moment because they are great and cheap I see them going up in value as time goes on
I used to be a die hard Sega Dreamcast fan but the ps3 has moved to my new favorite console the games are so much better and they don’t suffer from the junk cds sega decided use with the Dreamcast worst discs I ever seen in a system a lot of games are just not working for me anymore I had to put everything on a hard drive

I missed out on the PS3 growing up. Your Folklore video got me to buy a used slim and the collection has grown since.

One of the most underappreciated consoles. The UI was so calming, I miss it.

I still haven't watched the whole video
but its a great timing since i recently went back to my ps3 after getting tired of ps4/5 games
Your knowledge about this console is through the roof. Thanks for all the low key game recommendations and non recommendations!
Hikiko never misses. Love your stuff, man,
Now that the Frankenstein option exists, I'm a bit more open to cracking out the ps3. Thanks for the video.
I almost mentioned the Frakenstein mod, but it's $500.00 + shipping. I want to bring back my Launch BC Phat, but it's a hefty pricetag.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Been playing the PS3 recently and love the niche titles like Folklore and Siren Blood Curse. Especially when they cant be played anywhere else.

The ps3 was one I enjoyed the most! did so much quality gaming back then! The hype for MGS4 with my high school buddies was real!
A buddy of mine had the gun metal grey Metal Gear PS3. I was supremely jealous.
MGS4 was one of the first games I ever pre-ordered, Halo 3 be the other one. Waiting for the game to install was something to behold.
this was such a fun generation

So many that I realized there are different models with different drawbacks and strengths. I guess depending on which model it is, it could be one of their best or one of their worst controllers.
how do you manage to make them not start pressing random buttons? I already had 4 ds3s and all of them had the same issue, something about the flat cable being loose or something. Fixing them never really worked, and now I use a dualshock 4 on ps3 with a magic-ns adapter
YESSS. Was just playing D4 because of you
You can't change the past
Still play on my soft-modded PS3. Well I did until that latest firmware update from Sony came out :( BTW there are some decent 3rd part controller options for the PS3 - Retrofighters Defender (BT) and the QRD Spark N5 (BT). Both feature six-axis and can wake the PS3 using the HOME button. The QRD has hall effect sticks, two remappable buttons, turbo and RGB LEDs but lacks pressure sensitive buttons with the exception of the left and right triggers. The Defender appears to be fully featured with turbo function but not a lot else. Are they as good as the stock controller? That remains to be seen but so far they are pretty good.
The PS3 probably had the best user menu/home screen of all consoles by far. My favorite small feature was that some different themes could be used to transform the entire UI, which just made that home screen the slightest bit more cozy, comfortable, or special to keep coming back to.
I still bring out my old PS3 to play Tokyo jungle every now and again. Still annoyed that it's never been ported to anything.
Good pick. What's your favorite animal to run?
Beagle, for some reason my best runs has always been with Beagles.
@@musicology3552 The DLC was nuts. You could run a robot dog or a Salary Man. They couldn't breed and their lifespan capped at 100 years. TJ just never gets old.
LOL
I ordered that HDD bay from Ali Express.. Will arrive in December..
However I am super happy with my Super Slim. It is so small and also silent.. It feels fresh and cool..
The cardboard flap is still holding strong in mine
i did the 650 750 and in uncharted 1 its stays right around 30 FPS and the temps are CPU 52c GPU 46c. going to try some more game and see if it stays stable i have a fat CECHL01 with a fan upgrade chip ( i know i could use my CFW for the fan but i bought it before i knew i was going to jailbreak) with a 19 blade whispermoon that was way to expensive but there are hard to find now cleaned it out and changed the paste. i would love to send it out ad have someone swap out the chip for a super slim chip. happy modding everyone!!!
7:15 another point about the DS4 being paired via bluetooth or via the charging cable is that if you have a hacked PS3 slim, any PS2 games you play via ISOs will not work with a DS4 and you have to use a DS3. I don't know if a Cronus fixes this, maybe someone who ones one can confirm that.
Can confirm
Would you please do a retrospective on the psVita, and how all 3 (psp, ps3, Vita) work with remote play as well?
I have so many PS3 peripherals. I use my PS3 Monitor as a second monitor when I’m not using it to play 3D. I’ve got all 5 of my PlayStation cameras all set up 😂
I like the Dual shock 3 I have had battery life issues with the ps4 and ps5 controllers in loading up on PS3 games at the moment because they are great and cheap I see them going up in value as time goes on
I used to be a die hard Sega Dreamcast fan but the ps3 has moved to my new favorite console the games are so much better and they don’t suffer from the junk cds sega decided use with the Dreamcast worst discs I ever seen in a system a lot of games are just not working for me anymore I had to put everything on a hard drive
Recently got myself a PS3 Slim with 1TB while having the Series X.
Chapters have been added!
Having access to Psone games ensures that I’ve always left mine plugged in. Way of the Samurai 3 also helps lol
I like how you pronounce Rampage as if it were a game about ramps instead of the word rampage - an angry frantic damage inducing spree
