ATTENTION GENTLEMEN 👀 Grab some gamer juice and see why the 7th gen consoles was when gaming PEAKED: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p22KxMuCftbec8o.html&ab_channel=Odeboo (My content has evolved lol)

. Graphics that still hold up to this day. . free online . amazing catalog . amazing exclusives . Can play apps like netflix youtube still . Cheap . ps move . easy jailbreak . Controllers battery lasts for days playing .Can play ps1 and ps2 games on it. In my opinion Ps3 is the best console ever created along with PlayStation 2 and Nintendo wii.

Dug my old PS3 out whilst my pc in the store being repaired, I can't believe how good these machines are when you consider how old they are.

The 1 issue with the PS1 & 2 is the graphics, so that's the only reason why some people find it going back to. PS3 doesn't have that problem, I still maintain that resolution quality didn't need to exceed 1080p, obviously yeah if you can do it but 1080p was all we needed. In 10 years, this will be the GOAT console because of how well it held up plus the quality of games

My favourite PlayStation ever personally is the PS3, I had this same version and I hammered it for about 8 years, unfortunately It did die and my last couple of years with PS3 was with a slim model which was still fine of course before I eventually fully transferred to the PS4. The PS3 is still my favourite PlayStation to this day, even though I do finally have a PS5 now.

@Odeboo

Жыл бұрын

Yeah I basically have the same history. Had the PS3 for many years back in the days, overheated eventually and got replaced by a PS4. I still have the PS4 and my brother got a PS5. Nowadays I use a PC for the most part so a PS4 is still fine for me :)

Bought a ps3 slim back in 2011. Still have it with my other ps3 slim and ps3 super slim. I loved the ps3 library of games. especially all the multi pack games like jak and dextar collction, killzone collection, sly cooper etc. Also just the main console exclusives. God of war, uncharted, the last of us.

Just wanna say thank you for putting the mic closer at 3:49 while removing the bubble wrap. It was satisfying to hear.

If you want to reduce the fan noise it generates as well as prevent it from dying a heat death before it has to, you might want to consider opening it up and replacing your thermal pastes on the heat syncs.

PS3 games were made with different architecture so it wouldn't be possible to run PS3 games natively on the PS5. PS4 and PS5 use the same architecture which is why the PS5 is backwards compatible. Your best bet is emulation or buying a used PS3 to play PS3 games natively. I bought a 80GB CECHC03 backwards compatible PS3 last year to use alongside my PS3, giving me games playable from the PS1 through to the PS5. Edit: It's also why you can only stream PS3 games from real PS3s with Sony via PS+.

@DalazG

Жыл бұрын

@Ishmael Simpson yes, but ps1 and ps2 were also built on different architecture and were able to be emulated. Ps3 is perfectly capable of emulating ps3 but it would require quite a bit of resources. They're going to have to do it inevitably at some point rather than relying on old ps3s for emulation

@IshmaelSimpson

Жыл бұрын

@@DalazG True, however the CELL processor with the RSX chip was insanely difficult to develop for, and even more so to emulate. The PS1 and PS2 did have different architecture but it was fairly simple. Such is not the case with the PS3 unfortunately. This is why Sony won't bother despite many people wanting it, and the fact that many people still want to play PS3 games. Myself included.

@DalazG

Жыл бұрын

@Ishmael Simpson i think Sony will try but it'll be as low effort as possible to keep resource use low. I don't imagine them attempting full blown emulation until the ps3 server blades are starting to cost more to replace. The RPCS3 team themselves said that emulation of PS3 on PS5 would definitely be possible, and much easier than it was for them. The biggest hurdle is financial justification

9:11 seeing this brings back so many memories, loved gt5 I remember when I was 6 playing it, first game on ps3

I've just set up my old PS3. I haven't used it since I got my PS4 back in the day. When I played it it was on a 22" TV with no HD in those days. Now I have it hooked up to my big TV and my Pioneer Home Theatre system. I'm truly amazed at the picture and sound quality. The sound seems to have more volume than the PS4. You have so many more option for both sound and graphics than you do on the PS4. I played the Blu-ray "Alien: Prometheus". I chose DTS and the bass was so great that The windows were rattling. My only regret is that my PS3 does not have 'backwards compatibility'.

Great design, maybe the best console design ever made

I just bought a 320 gb slim because my old slim 120 gb crapped out on me a little pricey for 150 but cant complain wish i found a steal like you! Ps3 is the best

Gran Turismo 5 is absolutely my most favorite racing game ever. I never really grew up with the Playstation 3. I wanted one before, but got a 360 instead when I was 12. In 2020 I found a ps3 for 20 bucks. Later on in the same thrift shop I stumbled upon Gran Turismo and played it a year later. Great video

My family couldn’t really afford getting me a PS3 in its heyday when I was in high school, so I was the guy with a Wii while all my friends were playing crazy next gen games. It’s cool being able to play a lot of modern classics for the first time, and it’s probably the cheapest console you can collect for. There are some expensive rare ones, but a lot of the more highly sought out games like the MGS Legacy Collection are still only like 50-80 bucks. After spending thousands of dollars collecting for the Saturn and Sega-CD, this is a nice change of pace.
