Why PS3 Still Has 2 Million Users
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- Playstation 3 was released nearly 2 decades ago in 2006. Newer consoles with significantly better performance are available in the market but PS3 still has around 2 million monthly active users. Dive deep into the reasons behind it.

Correction - Playing online using a jailbroken console is not safe. You can get banned for connecting to PSN.
who told u this joke?
So this is correct or not? @@Ssebyt12
@@oldzorg7582 well i saw jailbreak players on gtao etc and never got banned
@@oldzorg7582 it happens.
nopeeee 😂
charging people to play online should be a crime
Man seriously 😒 it's just not fair. It's sad
How else do they maintain the server?
We were very lucky to exist in a time where PS3 had free online multiplayer. Shit isn't quite as simple nowadays :/
@@senseiii3986 Sony only maintains PSN servers hence when one buys a game from PSN 30 percent of the cut is handed over to Sony by the publisher of any respective game which should cover the cost and net them a profit on top of that while game servers are maintained by the publishers of the respective game and Sony does not maintain those servers.
@senseiii3986 developers and sony we spend many $ on games. Sony takes 35% of every digital purchase in ps store.
The irony here, is that the PS3 in it's early days almost failed and now it ended up being one of the best selling consoles.
PlayStation 2 still holds that crown with 160 million sold

I still have my PS3 hooked up next to my PS5. I actually use it more than my PS5.
Same here. I actually still use my main PS3 every so often and I still use my PS5 a lot as well. I actually have two PS3 systems hooked up to my TV. One PS3 that I have is one of the PS3 Slim models which I use as my main PS3 for playing PS3 games with, and the other PS3 that I have hooked up to the TV is one of the original launch models which is backwards compatible with PS2 games too.
Same my PS3 is running cfw so I mostly play PS1 and PS2
Hell yeah. Me too.
Me too and I skipped the whole ps4 generation
I use mine for trophy haunting
Still playing my PS3
Same here!
Me too. Amazing console and can also play PS1 and PS2 games if you have the original model.
Just got A PS3 recently!
@@FiretheCatYT I have a PS3 myself too! In fact, I actually still have two working PS3 systems so far for the time being! I have a PS3 Slim model which I use as my main PS3 and all, and the other PS3 that I have is one of the original launch models with PS2 backwards compatibility as well.
7th Gen is peak gaming PS3 is my favorite console
The PS3 had better games than we have today. For example, Resistance trilogy, Killzone 2 and 3.
Hooking up my ps3 slim tonight
I still have a PS3 Slim myself too which is already 13 years old now and it stills works pretty well so far after all these years!
2006 was almost 20 years ago 😥 feels like 10 years ago 😥
I have my PS3, PS4 and PS5 hooked up and play all three. PS3 is still awesome and still show good graphics. And playing online is free, still.
I must ask why you bother playing your PS4 still when the PS5 is backwards compatible with 99.9% of games? Do you just so happen to have that one game that doesn't work on the PS5, or do you continue to play it for the fun that can be had with hacking?
@@liaml1694 I have all three set up as an preference only. I understand that I can play PS4 games on my PS5.
@@liaml1694I also have both hooked up next to each other.
Unless there's massive graphical/performance improvements, I don't want to reinstall all if my games on the ps5 and waste the disc space of it.
Also I do actually kind of prefer the dualshock 4, and really like the ps4 in general
Too many games that never got ported to other platforms. While the library was not as insane as a PS2, it still has a huge number of great A/B/C-tier games literally locked to the platform.
The games are also super cheap to buy, you can pick up PS3 games for pennies in some used game stores.
Also, no installation times! Stick the disc in, boom, instant game!!!
Some games forced installation, like Yakuza 3. And some installations were optional. It's better to have an option imo. The 360 did it right with installing any full game as an option, better for the disc drive.
Got a Fat Lady gen1. Plays all ps1,ps2,ps3 games. Just stick in the disc and off you. No BS subscriptions, pay to plays etc..etc
@@adrenaliner91Well the PS3 also uses Blu-ray, the Xbox 360 doesn't
@@dutchgamer842 I know.
Partially true. Many games require to install data, from 100mb to even 6gb (Rage by ID Software), and I remember Gran Turismo 5 had a huge optional install file.
And many games aren't cheap. Take for example the Spider-Man games, like Web of Shadows, Shattered Dimentions and Edge of Time, they cost a lot!
I still love the PS3, and I still use it to play Assassin's Creed, Arkham Origins, Demon's Souls, Mirror's Edge, Warrior Within, Jak 2, Ratchet and Clank 2, Tools of Destruction, Sly 2, Shadow of the Colossus, and Tomb Raider Underworld. Just because it's an old console doesn't mean we shouldn't use it anymore
It has games.
It has classics from previous generations on the store.
It had a blu ray player back when blu ray movies were the big new thing.
It adopted the identity of the perfect multimedia device when streaming as we know it gained traction.
It had PSHome.
It had no extra cost online.
It just worked.
Also, for someone like me who likes niche Japanese games, it's a dream console for sure.
Charging people to backup their saved data (ps5 games) and to play online should be illegal. Imagine European Union does the same thing to sony (remember when they forced apple with usb c and to add the ability to use others stores other than apple store)
I always wonder how sony and Nintendo get away with charging you to connect one box to another AFTER they sold it to you wtf
and not give any of it to the publishers actually hosting the server
@@ross3695_basedhax yeah , I hope sony will experience the same thing as apple experienced with EU.
The Universal USB C thing was not just for the convinience, it was just so there would end up being less waste. Its not like they were specifically poing at apple and they would have gotten away if it werent for it.
@@ghalilahloumimiseconde3771 The PSN backup requirement for PlayStation 5 was removed several updates ago, the option to backup everything to a usb flash drive has existed for quite a while now
I still use it for split screen gaming when I have friends over, recently we setup a lan party where we would play on two ps3's and play zombies with 4 players lan split screen
Miss when games had that
@@ross3695_basedhax I always think of offline as "Proper multiplayer" AKA "socially nutritious multiplayer".
I used to use a site called (IIRC) "CoOptimus" to find ALL known "local MP" games on any machine. It was great for these "anti-togetherness" times but I'm not sure it still even exists.
Still playing on my PS3 nearly a decade after I bought it. One of the greatest consoles ever made.
Also, Playstation 3 was the final console that the creator and founder of the console, Ken Kutaragi, before he departed from Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2007. Needless to say, without him and the CEO at the time of Sony Inc. in Japan, the Playstation brand would have not taken off as it did back in it's heyday up until the late 2000s.
Still play my ps3, probably about as much as I play my ps4. For me, its because it has so many great games that will probably never come back, but also great prices and still supports trophies.
I have been on holiday for 1.5 months and been spam watching ps3 videos.
When I return home, I'm going to pull it apart, clear the dust, replace the thermal paste, install a 1tb ssd, maybe jailbreak it, hook up my modded ps5 dualsense controller (yes, all ps3's support this), hook it up to my projector and hope my girlfriend doesn't leave me.
I wish you good luck boss man
If GF leaves you for doing this then she wasn't the one...
So put that Demon's Souls disc back in and keep playing.
You can also hook up Bluetooth Xbox one controllers, Nintendo Wii U Pro controllers, and also Nintendo switch pro controllers, along with any other Bluetooth controller or mouse you want.
0:55 Yes, Every PS3 has The Feature of playing PS1 Physical Games. But only The PS3 Fat's 20, 60 and some 80GB Models have The Feature of playing PS2's Pyhsical Games.
Quick question does it have any effect on PS3 fat when playing PS2/PS1 games? I’ve heard it overheat quickly
@@HeyThere_205 Unfortenetly I don't know. Because I'm not using the Fat Model. Try ask to someone who knows more about PS3 Fat.
Going out to the store to buy a game is an inconvenience not a feature 😂
@@HeyThere_205 Yes, PS3 playing PS2 games don't have a curve of fan, so the PS3 overheat and the fan don't goes up in RPM.
I was stupid as hell lol. For months or longer I didn't even know it was reverse compatible like PS2 was, so I bought ALL 4-5 Tomb Raiders digitally EVEN though I already had them on disc FFS.
Playing GTA IV is the sole reason I play Ps3.
我的第二个原因是rdr1
I like that I can access some classics that are unavailable on PS4 and PS5, like ps1 games or ps2 games like fatal frame.
This is the same reason why I still have my Xbox 360 Slim, to play Original XBOX and Xbox 360 games that aren't backwards compatible with the Xbox Series X.
To me there's also just something satisfying about playing a game on the console it was released for
And i hope they dont close it soon, the ps3 has been amazing
I also hope the PlayStation Store and the online service for the PS3 never shuts down either although eventually, Sony might still decide to pull the plug on the PS3 sooner or later since nothing lasts forever, unfortunately. They almost closed down the PlayStation Store for both the PS3 and PS Vita systems back in 2021, but they reversed their decision to do so after the negative feedback they received from many fans. So far, the PlayStation Store as well as the PSN online service are still active on the PS3 and PS Vita systems for the time being, but I don't know either how much longer they'll probably last. Nintendo already shut down the DSi Shop application for the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL handheld game systems back in 2017 as well as the Wii Shop Channel for the Wii game console back in 2019, and they even just closed down the Nintendo eShop early last year in 2023 for both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS game systems. Microsoft will also be shutting down the Xbox 360 Marketplace, or the Xbox 360 Store rather, for the Xbox 360 console later this summer at the end of July from what I've heard.
Well it takes money to run those server so sooner or later they have to close it.
@@Beresunablle I also agree too even though I really don't look forward to that happening either since it's going to be sad once the digital storefront for the PS3 closes. I know nothing lasts forever though, unfortunately, and like you said too, sooner or later Sony will have to close up shop.
@@Beresunablle You still believe that myth? lol.
@@Talon97 So whose paying for the electricity bill, and the server there using you?
Still my primary bluray player in my bedroom.
I still have and use my PS3. It’s been my boy-ray player, my original streaming device, and my favorite game Twisted Metal 2012 has features that are still more fun than a lot of newer games..
7th Gen is the best online gaming era and 6th gen is the best video game era of all time!
It is my favorite Blu-Ray Player and it does run Netflix. That's why i still use my PS3
Oh boy, use a real BD Player and a HDMI stick if you don't want to burn your money. The PS3 just uses too much power for something simple as that.
@@adrenaliner91
it's not worth it for my usage profile. I have the super slim version of thr PS3.
why invest 150€+ for two devices when i have one that can do both?
@@adrenaliner91you are overheating things here. The power usage is not this bad. At least not on a slim or superslim model.
@@Pepperoni421 it is unnecessary much for things like this, it's ten times higher than a HDMI stick at minimum.
@@adrenaliner91 but i guess using an hdmi-stick is not the same feeling for this guy. You can argue the same about old retro cars. Why even driving them? They are expensive, often need repair and use a lot more gasoline. In the end the passion wins i guess.
This a dope ass video I hope your channel grows exponentially brother
I still play Minecraft online with my friends on PS3 and when I am not doing that, it is my dedicated CD ripping machine.
Keep posting man! You will have a ton of subscribers before long! Great channel name and really great content. Can only get better from here
Hell Yeah 😍
I love my PS3.
I use this system everyday.
I own over 70 games AGAIN.
Of course, I have newer consoles but I feel my Playstation 3 so much more.
Oblivion
Skyrim
The last of us
Red dead Redemption
Killzone
Fallout
Motorstorm
GTA
Bioshock
Infamous
Metal Gear
And so on.......
Playstation 3 is my favorite console ever. ❤❤❤
I still use my ps3 slim 😊I bought it back in the day when it came out and till this day i still buy games for it .
I still use my jailbroken ps3 to this day
I don't have a massive library of (physical) PS3 games but I still play them; I bought my PS3 console in 2014 and about 3 dozen games in the following years.
Ps3's Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 3 Cooperative and Dark Souls 1 multiplayer modes are still quite active today.
Yes, this year I've started the Souls series and I was surprised by the amount of players on Dark Souls 1.
Demon's Souls has the fanmade customer server which is pretty empty (at least the European one), but it's cool to see messages and phantoms.
I've played Dark Souls 2 during March, and the servers were about to close on the 31st. Despite that I've met just two people during the whole game!
But Dark Souls 1... That was a surprise! I've played with many randoms, sometimes even two together, and helped them defeating a lot of bosses.
Probably it's helped by the humanity system in DS1. You can't become human when you want, only at bonfires, so players leave their summon signs close to the bonfire or on the road to the boss
I have two PS3’s, a regular slim and a red super slim I bring around in my backpack.
The games are still solid and RUclips and other services still work, I use them more than my PS4 and they’re both amazing media players.
Still buying games for the PS 3 love it !
i would love to get a ps3 simply for rdr and mgs4
The last gen console that actually released games year after year. Not based on remakes, remasters but new real games for the console itself. Sure there are some bits of microtransactions but its not that overblown and obvious compared to the 8th and 9th gen. How I wish those days were back.
Glad there's a strong Playstation 3 community. Unfortunately I skipped the PS3 Generation and came back to the PLAYSTATION with the 4 and 5. I hope to keep the PS4 alive as long as possible as well. In the meantime, Ill be looking for the PS3, thats backwards compatible to the PS2 Games. I have tons of those! Thanks for this!
Nice video, and I also still use my PS3 as well every now and again for playing my favorite PS3 games, especially considering that PS3 game discs aren't backwards compatible on the PS4 and PS5 game consoles either since I would still need an actual PS3 system for playing PS3 games. I actually have two PS3 systems hooked up to my TV so far and they both still work fine for the time being. One PS3 is a PS3 Slim model which I use as my main PS3 console, and the other PS3 that I have hooked up is one of the original launch models with PS2 backwards compatibility which is the 60 GB PS3 since I can also play PS2 game discs on that PS3.
One day ur console hardware is going to die, ur physical fetish also
Big thing missed here as part of the media center, the PS3 is the last machine by Sony to support ripping Audio CD and Data CDs that had audio files on them. I probably have every single album I have ever got my hands on backed up on my PS3 from 2012 forward (even ones I sold off later). its Audio visualizers were also some of the best ever created, such as the Gaia visualizer, truly incredible.
Ah yes, PS3, the only console that I'd ever owned in my entire life. Got it for my 18th birthday in 2008 and it has been with me ever since, with intervals since I left to study abroad and didn't get back to it until after I was done. These first few years, I remember I played and beat so many games, that's what made them special to me, considering how many of those on PCs I gave up long before watching the credits. Every single one on PS3 in turn was original, no piracy there, so you dedicated yourself more. Sony had an amazing run of exclusives at that time. So many years I hated myself for never having picked up the original Last of Us (as it came out around the time I left the country and I just didn't have time), but I finally did beat it last year (the very first original version, not a single drop of remastered blood in its veins) and now I'm almost done going through PS2-emulated Revenge of the Sith, of all games (just really felt like trying out that game). Got it off my American account on PS Store that I build 16 years ago, it's amazing how at the time it simply bought on face value that I lived in the US and never tried to verify that, lmao. ☺ Thanks to this, my access to classics is much more robust than it would otherwise be.
Sadly, it seems to be slowly dying on me, it keeps crashing and dusting it doesn't help. I'd love to try out some other games from PS Store, but I'm just afraid that at some point it simply won't turn on again and I will just never get to finish a game. 😪
Because it's a higher quality console, with better value, a way better ui and better and original games....
Seems like a good reason to stick around.
My PS3 stopped working a few months ago and I miss using it
Bought my PS3 Slim 120gb console in 2009 and still have it in working condition. Love the games, and for a long time it was my only blu-ray movie player as well. Sometimes watching RUclips as well with the app, as I only have a regular dumb tv. And, I admit I'm in the "tight budget" group.
How about "I payed a lot of money for it and I'll be damned if I have to stop using it because the corporate goons in charge have decided it's irrelevant"?
Have nostalgia for PS3 when the Lego Games and the Ghostbusters Video Game came out. Currently have the slim model and use it to play the non-movie Spider-Man games, watch dvd/ blurays, and even play games for the first time like Metal Gear Rising.
PS3 games are also great to find for cheap at thrift stores!
I still use my launch model ps3 today, skipped ps4 and ps5 entirely. Nothing in the future will top this beautiful beast of a console ❤
Nice video man
Be great if Sony made a batch of new PS3 controllers. Opened mine up and cleaned all the pressure strips with IPA, but the aftermarket replacement contact pads for the buttons are a bit rubbish. Put the original pads back in and they work ok, but it would be nice to have some new controllers. Even just a kit of original contacts pads from Sony would be good.
I figure I've got another two to three years before I finally get through all the PS3 games I've bought.
I had two years i hadnt played on ps3, until i decided this year to get it out, to jailbreak it and to start playing it. Still continuing to play it
A wonderful console.
Yesterday i put a SSD on it, it's way faster now.
Kinda sad some games are still only on PS3 (The first two Littlebigplanet games especially for me).
Outside of playing CDs, I don’t use my PS3 all that much for games anymore. However, I still have a big backlog of physical (and digital) games I haven’t touched yet, so I’ll get to it eventually.
I have another PS3-related question in case if anyone here may happen to know the answer to it too, especially for those who still have or owned one of the CECHE01 models of the PS3 a.k.a. the original 80 GB fat model. Apparently, the first 80 GB model of the PS3 that was released, which was the CECHE01 model, was also backwards compatible with PS2 game discs, but it used software emulation though instead of the actual PS2 hardware chips. I saw something online though from a while back something about if the 80 GB PS3 is connected to the Internet and if it is updated with the latest system firmware update, it apparently removes the backwards compatibility support for PS2 games. Is that really true, or no? I was just wondering since I just thought of asking. I know the 20 GB and 60 GB PS3 models use the actual PS2 hardware chips in them for PS2 backwards compatibility which will never disappear no matter what system firmware update the consoles are on, but I wasn't sure about the 80 GB model though since it only uses software emulation for playing PS2 games. I've had an 80 GB PS3 which was backwards compatible with PS2 game discs, and it even came with the MotorStorm video game too since I got the 80 GB PS3 MotorStorm bundle set, but it only lasted for a few years though before it finally stopped working on me. The system never got the YLOD or anything like that, but the disc drive or the laser must have gone bad or something since the system won't read any discs I insert in the console now, no matter what disc I put in. I also never had it connected to the Internet or anything either since I was still able to play PS2 game discs on it before the system stopped reading them.
I love playing my PS3. I love playing the variety of games like Star Wars The Force Unleashed, inFamous 1 and 2, MW2 and Black Ops 1, etc. I like how DLC was usually a compliment to a game in this era, whereas I feel like DLC feels like a requirement to make a lot of current games complete (like Star Wars Battlefront 2015)
The PS3 is such an awesome console even by today's standards. To me it is one of the last true gaming consoles and will forever be an icon.
Still got mine with box IT CAME IN and exactly!! I use to store music, media, and backwards compatibility for NBA STREET
As a Xbox user it’s surprising to hear ps4 isn’t backwards compatible. That was a huge selling point against the Xbox one which ironically has backward compatibility
Still playing ps3 and getting platinum on it and purchasing what i missed from dlc on ps3 store and enjoying!
I love my PS3 too, even though I have PS4 and PS5 in my collection. I still go back to PS3 as it's the true pinnacle of gaming. I even created the PS3 series on my yt channel too.
: D
So if i understand this correctly, when you go online with a jailbroken ps3, you dont get banned by sony anymore ?
wat i love about the console is after almost 20 years its still works and sounds like a airport
PS3 plane. We about to take off😂.
Well, my PS4 is the airport. PS3 is just one of the planes. Anyway, welcome to Sony Airlines. 😊
I dreamt about getting a PS3 a few days ago.
I have a PS3 Fat Lady used and a PS3 Slim B Edition factory sealed. Amazing console.
Great video.
I use my PS3 more than my PS5 and Xbox Series X
So cool to see that I'm sharing the passion for this great console with so many others. I bought this year (so far) more games for my PS3 than for my PS5. There are so many great PS3 games I need and want to play, while most modern PS5 Releases don't spark the same interest.
My favourite console of all time: the best days of COD, Assassin's Creed, Battlefield... Great exclusives like Demon's Souls, Metal Gear Solid 4, God of War Ascension, Drakengaard 3, Infamous, (not to mention all the exclusives that are also on ps4). The PS3 was also a huge jump in graphics from PS2 and now It's also cheap.
I agree too! One of my most favorite PS3 games is MGS4 which I still really enjoy playing every now and again, especially considering that MGS4 is only playable just on the PS3 so far for the time being. Hopefully, maybe MGS4 will be included in Volume 2 next of the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection compilation set soon sometime for the current-gen systems which would be so awesome.
Maaaaan …my life changed because of pa3 and at same time started new life because of it ! I know i was gamer before ps3 … but ps3 is different ! The ps3 changed everything !! Big love for ps3 and their users .
I play my PS3 about once a month. I don't use it online but it's fun to grab a cheap game or two from the game store from time to time!
I still have my PS3 as there are a lot of great games from that generation that aren't backwards compatible, and some like Resistance 1-3 that aren't playable anywhere else. It'd be great if the PS5 could play the complete library from previous consoles not just the PS4. Let us use the original discs.
Unfortunately, I only have the PlayStation 3 slim, but I still play mine to this very day!
i love the ps3 to play couch coop games, like nba jam on fire, COD black ops 2, fifa street, helldivers 1, lord of the rings war in the north etc.
I’ve really enjoyed going back and playing mortal Kombat vs dc universe and mortal Kombat 9 as well as others games like Batman Arkham series and many many others! LONG LIVE THE PS3!!!
I still play Skate 3 there... I'm always late to the party, so I got mine only in 2016.
I have ps3 jailbreak hen its starting because my favourite console because you still play wwe smackdown vs raw online
PS3 is the G.O.A.T. in console gaming , streaming, and watching blue ray DVDs . I've owned PS1 -PS5 and the 3 is my go to.
Love my ps3!!
Personality its my favourite console just edging out the ps2, i think its also the last innovation sony was known for back then, the cell processor was hard to develop for but it paid off in the end.
Imo ps3 has some of the best explusives which still look fantastic todays, it has my favourite operating system, plus with its vast media support and bluray drive makes it my all time favourite console to date.
Only sad thing is that the earlier ones which had backwards compatibility with ps2 have a large failure rate so the best one to own is the first gen slim version which play ps1 games but not ps2.
You can alyways buy an original one and get it moded but sadly they are starting to get rare and expensive, also modding them isn't cheap unless you can do it youself but its not exactly easy.
2 million active users? Damn. I understand that it's monthly active users, but imagine if just 1/20 of it's daily users. That would be equivalent to top 10 Steam games.
A week andd half ago I've played Asura Wrath on ps3 and it was great. There are enough games that you can play only on ps3 such as Tales of Xillia 1, 2, Tales of Graces, Yakuza Dead Souls, Ratchet Crack in Time, Gow Ascension, etc. It is a great console. And just a trivia- you clan it with PS4 controllers (the only minus is you can't use the select button. Which is critical for some games)
Just played Asura's Wrath a few days ago, it was a blast! Expecially the ending of Act II
I now in other countries there still making ps3 games and still playing online I play online still
Those numbers would be even higher if I could sign in to my psn account. They changed it so that you had to generate some random code to sign in. It worked at first for awhile but then suddenly they wanted me to do it again, and it's never worked since! Just a frustrating loop of generate code, use code, doesn't work, wants you to generate another code and doesn't work over and over.😡
tl:dw: It has actual games on it.
I may have yet to realize the full potential of my PlayStation 3 Fat (and I'm not talking about Jailbreaking it), but I appreciate the library it brings for it is worth to me, I enjoy the games that I have and I wish to collect more to truly appreciate what it brought.
I have it hooked it up with my PlayStation 2, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. I have an appreciation for what PlayStation has brought today, and what it HAS brought back then.
I had every chance to get a ps4 or ps5 I still stuck to my ps3 and it’s been the perfect most reliable gaming console I’ve ever had, it’s lasted me more then ten years I have the super slim model it’s been fantastic probably my favourite console the one and only I’d leave with if I had to, after growing up with Nintendo consoles it introduced to a more broader game library I couldn’t have imagined it was also handy knowing yeah this game will definitely be on my PlayStation I respect the third party efforts on Nintendo consoles most always have a catch
Meh my original 1994 PlayStation is still going strong, no idea how though
I’ve been playin my ps3 since 2014(super slim) and it never failed me,never had the need for a 4 or 5, installed ps3hen on i it way back in 2018,which actually saved me cause back then i didn’t have much money for games, and i have been playin practically every day on it since that faithfull day, it introduced me to soo many games like Bioshock,God of war hd collections, i can install and play ps1 and ps2 games and even other retro emulators and as for online play, im playin Bo1 almost every day with my friend and there are always populated lobbys if you do not have dlc installed lol, and as long as i keep playin games the ps3 will always be my number 1 console, and even when i retire it( which wont be any time soon lol) il always find a way back to it!
My PS3 stays setup for it's use as a DVD/Bluray player, media center, it's ability to play PS1 games....and I love Call out Duty 4 - BLOPS 2. I just finished Oblivion on it, and I'm starting Dragon Age.
I miss having a PS2/3.
I still enjoy playing my PS3 though I haven't played any games online. The last game I played online on my PS3 was Call of Duty Black Ops II and that was around 2014. I also played Modern Warfare II which had hacked lobbies.
When Sonic Mania got ported unoffically to ps3, I revived mine and now use it to play sonic mania.
I have my ps5 but i love still playing tokyo jungle in the “Best of Psn Vol 1”❤
It's still my main Blu ray player. If it was poor, it would have been replaced.
Got the remote control, and the PlayStation Move controllers connected, for Flight Control sessions occasionally.
Also - it's got Gran Turismo 6 & Daytona USA, and supports the Logitech & Fanatec wheels that also work on PC and Xbox 360, in the case of the Fanatec GT2.
I'll be sure to buy 2-3 more PS3s in order that I can keep my library on them.
I ought to mention none of this stuff, in case they end up patching it all out to kill the console.
Still play Warhawk, Fat Princess, Monopoly, Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax and Hyperdimension Neptunia MK2 on PS3. Also, since I have an older model, I like to just turn it on in the winter and it heats my whole bedroom!
Ah Fat Princess one of my favorite games on psp.

I still use my PS3 as often as I do my PS4 Pro.
I bought a ps3 right after covid and im still playing it. It is quite possibly my favorite console, and has some of my favorite games on it. I’m so happy it’s still getting love from fans
I still play on the PS3 every so often as well! I actually have two working PS3 systems so far: one is a PS3 Slim model which I use as my main PS3, and the other one is one of the original launch models which is even backwards compatible with PS2 games since both PS3 systems are still going strong for me so far which is really great.
Had one back in 2011. Had to sell it off... bought another 2012 model.. that could do hen jailbreak. And enjoying a helluva lot of dark souls 2. I m at the final dlc in 4 weeks time.. i have never been happier with a console.. not just ds2, i had added on about 30 ps3 games and 10 ps2 games on it. Ita just so much funn mahn...
