I Bought a LIKE NEW Backwards Compatible PS3 from EBAY... will it work this time??

Ойындар

I'm a big fan of buying stuff from eBay. This time, I decided to go for a premium console and bought an 80GB Backwards Compatible PS3! This is a legendary console because it's one of the only PS3 consoles than can play PS2 games. This console even game with the original box. Check out the video to see if I got my money's worth!

And there are some supporting games for this function. (and demo's). 1st model is also transparent-black. (just hold it against a lamp or something to see it). And it weighs less, bc it has no rumble feature.

    Nice. Back in the day when the PS3 got released I was fortunate enough to get 2 PS3 60 gig and 1 PS3 80 gig all backwards compatible. I still have one untouched in the box in my closet and the other 60 and 80 gig models I upgraded the hard drive to 750 gigs and they both still work absolutely fantastic. My opinion the original PS3 system was one of the best consoles. The only problem that I have encountered is it is a dust magnet. But there are some things you can do to help that.

    The thermal paste depends on how much the console was used. The more usage the more the thermal paste over time gets hard and crusty like. I know cuz I replaced the paste for one I got from whatnot. Boy that stuff was nasty and cruddy. Hardly any dust inside thank goodness. I am not tech expert, but have enough skills and experience.

I really missed the feeling of getting this kind of console because I believe this was the last time we associated Sony with HiFi purchase. For those that are too young, Sony used to be known as quality purchase. Looking at the 1st Gen PS3, you can absolutely tell the Professional look to it.

    My very first ps3. Man I loved this thing. Mine had the rlod after 4 years. I wish I had held on to it and had just swapped the motherboard or something to keep the backwards compatibility. Not long after that happened I traded it in to gamestop for $100 of my ps4 preorder. My ps4 is still running after 7 years. I now have the super slim ps3 that I bought from mercari not too long ago. The ps3 games are really cheap which is why I bought it. I loved the ps3 era.

    I still have my PS3. I dug it out a few weeks ago after being in storage for the last 13 years! I have since then bought over 40 of the best rated PS3 games (from both the standpoint of graphical quality and from gameplay perspective) and also I have bought a few of the PS2 / PS1 games! Loving it! I have put a cheap 1tb SSD inside now to replace the 60Gb that was in there. I think I will take it apart and repaste the CPU/GPU to help with longevity. I am considering jailbreaking it so that I can copy all of the games to the SSD and not wear out the blueray drive (as that's a main component that's prone to fail over time). I think the one thing that's a little disappointing though is that most PS3 games are 720p or even lower. It looks rather jagged when displayed on my 1080p monitor. It has been so long since I used the console, I think I had nostalgic memories about how good the games looked. I guess I have been spoiled by PC gaming since then.

    I have the 60gb original PS3 launch console I purchased on day one, never had an issue and has very little play time, I also applied new thermal paste a few months ago. The console has always been dust free and was very well taking care of and is like brand new in and out. The console you're showing is far from pristine at least from the videos. If you're interested in buying it from me, I also have a ton of games that I collected and not have played more than a few hours some just a couple of minutes as I usually just collect them. Let me know. Console is adult owned, and I was the only one who used it.

    Owned my ps3 since August of '08 an 80gb model that came with MGS4 and really enjoyed it and over the years started to collect games for it and really liked the games that came on this system compared to the Xbox 360. I suffered the yellow light of death once back in 2012 because of leaving the system on for hours and hours due to downloading demos from the PS store. From there on upgraded the HDD to an SSHD 1tb and never had that issue again since then. Recently been playing some games like RAGE, Lair, Haze, Heavenly Sword, Gran Turismo 5 and 6, and Asura's Wrath and I got 2 cabinets filled with the games over the years and some hidden gems that are now worth a pretty penny.

    Glad you have a great working PS3. I still have my PS3 (80 gig Backwards compatible PS1,2,3 from back in 2006) and it works beautifully still (knock on wood). Back in the day, these 80 gigs ran for 600$ new. I do believe I got mine before the "limited edition", but I would have loved to get this one because motor storm was the game to get back in the day, this game needs a remake for PS5 badly. Last but not least, and I'm not exactly 100% sure about this, but, Sony first made the PS3 with the built-in physical emulator chip to play PS1, PS2. After the console was out for a while, they decided to manufacture the PS3 to be backwards compatible but with software only. I heard this change was made as a way to kinda save money, and because the actual chip was hard to update the software with, because there were some issues playing some PS1, PS2 games that I do believe they fixed with an update. However, I was never quite able to play Hitman blood money with mine, it seemed to freeze all the time at a certain level, and so I never played it again, but still have it lol. Anyways, enjoy, it's a great system to have.

    Yea, PS3 at first had WHOLE PS2 crammed inside, on PCB. Literally. Next revisions had some parts of PS2 removed and those were emulated by software. Next, PS3s had PS2 compatibility removed by removing last bits of PS2 hardware. Putting PS2 HW inside was more convenient for Sony, as they did not want to do any SW PS2 emulation for some reason. PS1 compatibility is done by software emulation.

    Even though the warranty sticker hasn't been messed with and the console is pretty clean I would still recommend opening the system up and applying new thermal paste. The console is almost 15 years old I know that factory thermal paste is completely dried up by now, better do it now before it comes back to bite you, its very simple and the console isn't under warranty anymore anyway, its just a sticker. I also upgraded my hard drive to 500gb, so if its gonna be the console to run all ps1, ps2, and ps3 games you own I would highly recommend upgrading the hard drive as well.

I've had that happen to me too a lot from before whenever I would start or quit a PS2 game on a backwards compatible PS3 even though that doesn't seem to happen with PS1 and PS3 games though. It's only with PS2 games for some reason.

    I am pretty sure that the "limited edition" on the box was just referring to the game itself not the console. The reasoning is because it is the NOT FOR RESALE version. Also the whole six axis controller came about because Duelshock so it's own company and the license to Sony ran out. They eventually made a new deal because customers didn't like the six axis so the Duelshock 3 was born.

    It's easy to prevent the YLOD problem. You have to renew the cooling paste on the gpu and cpu. Otherwise there could be a chance the NEC Tokin capacitors will melt over time. If you're ps3 is still quiet, u don't have to worry about it (yet).

    This is misleading. YLOD is a general error that could be any number of reasons, but generally it's due to the awful 90nm RSX GPU found in the 20gb and 60gb models, the ones ACTUALLY backwards compatible with ps2 titles. future models that originally released with less than 90nm GPUs are NOT backwards compatible (the only exception is an untouched, non-updated 80gb model with 65nm GPU, and even then the 65nm ones are super iffy as far as reliability is concerned). Do a search on the Orbus or whatever it's called. Lots of superstition surrounding YLOD. Don't just reball, recap, modify or drill holes for "better exhaust" in these consoles. Sony knew what they were doing, and the issue always really came in 2 parts: 1. Americans can't take care of their stuff 2. It was new technology at the time, and the backwards compatible PS3 actually cost Sony quite a lot more money to sell each one off than they made by selling each one. Seriously check it out, it's actually pretty crazy. It's not a simple thing cuz it's not a simple solution
