Fun fact: Backwards compatibility was possible because the PS3 had an actual ps2 chip on the board. The 360 was emulating original Xbox games which was a modern miracle at the time considering how much emulator developers struggle to emulate it today.

The PS3 is my favorite Sony console of all time next to the PSP. I'm glad to see a buyer's guide because so many people neglected it for many reasons. I've recently have been spending tons and tons and tons of PSN content like DLC and digital games that are STILL not on Ps4 because I'm afraid of it's store being discontinued, and all my games don't take like 38% of my hard drive like the hungry PS4's are. After quarantine was over I specifically hunted down PS3 games in mid 2020 that aren't on PS4, physically anyway. Mirror's Edge, Binary Domain, Xmen Origins, Ratchet & Clank HD collection, Transformers War for Cybertron, Max Payne 3, Black Ops, Smackdown VS Raw 2011, Unreal Tournament 3 and Lost Planet 2. I have over 200 PS3 games while PS4 is just under 45 and it uses 1 1/5 TB of storage. Seriously, Kingdom Hearts on PS3 takes barely 10 MB but on PS4 takes 80 GB. No thanks, not re completing the entire trophy line up again just because the loading times are KINDA faster.

Yeah, I was going to get a PS3 in spring of 2010 as a high school graduation gift. The slim version had just been released for $299 and they were sold out EVERYWHERE. I was surprised because up until that point I thought that Xbox was the clear front runner. I ended up going with the Xbox 360 elite because it was what was available, a decision I don't regret because I still have it and play it(and have gotten a lot of joy out of it). I ended up getting a PS3 down the line and it's an amazing console as well. I think this was my favorite console generation so far.

I got the original design PS3 in 2008, but refurbished w/no box & manual from GameStop. Because, it was so difficult to find the first PS3 that was backwards compatible w/both PS2, and PS1 brand new. Sony removed the PS2 backwards compatibility. What’s interesting, a former co worker left the company and left behind an original PS 3 box w/the inserts and manual. As the admin assistant was about to clean out his desk, I asked if I can have it. So she gave it to me.

You guys remind me of Bulk and Skull in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers lol! I have my (Slim) PS3 since 2013, now it's a little deteriorated on the I/O button which is now gone, but the contact underneath the button still works and I'm still using my PS3 regularly and gonna do that until it explodes or something lol. I'm kinda bummed that a lot of the people I used to play with during those years have sold their old PS3's by now but I was wise enough to keep it with me (even if still a little deteriorated as I said but still nothing that serious) and about a month ago I was talking about the future of PS3s as retro consoles with a guy who owns a store for 2nd hand consoles and games and he pretty much confirmed to me that the PS3 was "the last good console" as there was a bunch of awesome games for it and they are all physical discs, and so they will still have a long life (even if discs are not eternal). As the consoles nowadays are little more than a desktop computer's CPU without disc readers of any kind since all is going to be digital. And what's more, the PS3 has the "ability" to be jailbroken and modded, so it even has capabilities that the current or future consoles will have difficulty trying to attain.

Oakshire is about two miles from my house, objectively one of the best breweries in Eugene, Oregon. They have a fantastic annual brew called Hellshire, *try this stout* !

I feel like this is such an underrated console mainly due to releasing later than the 360 and being incredibly expensive at launch. But man, it has such an amazing library. It was my main console the later half of that gen and now I'm really trying to beef that collection up. I'd really like to add a backwards compatible fat to the collection as well.

*_this is nice :D_*

Generation 7 was awesome and we're still basically playing the same type of games since than. We're playing newer games with shinier graphics but no major revolutionary video game mechanics have being used since than other than the Nemesis System in Shadow of Mordor that was not possible to be implemented on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. I had the original backwards compatible PS3 model but unfortunately it died last year. One other aspect to consider about that model (other than less reliability) is that it's very loud. I since got the latest Super Slim model and I like it much more. It's smaller, very quiet and I can change discs even when the console is off. I miss the PS2 backwards compatibility convenience but to be honest I prefer to play them on my PS2 anyway.

I got the Super slim and my only problem is its very easy for the disc drive top to open by itself if you just as much as touch it. And about the controller its way to light

Nice video about ps3 I was thinking to sell it but this changed my mind 50 percent

I remember buying my X360 in 07 at Circuit City with PGR3 and man it blew me away playing it and then going to my friend's house to play gears of war and loved that series at the time. Even when I bought Halo 3 when it first came out and got that at Game Stop and went hours and hours on end playing the campaign and multiplayer with a small dedicated team I had back then. In August of 08, I bought my PS3 that came with MGS4 from Fry's Electronics and I started to games for it little by little back then until later on I started to buy more ps3 games and now got 2 cabinets filled with PS3 games which means I need to catch up on whereas with my 360 I have about 40-50 games for it mostly exclusive. Definitely enjoyed the Playstation 3 and I still am with some hidden games that are going up in price like Asura's Wrath, Dynasty Warriors Gundam, Silent Hill games, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, FEAR series, Dark Sector, and so on.

I'm a massive nintendo fan boy but the PS3 is my second favourite console of all time. The exclusive games like Uncharted, Heavy Rain, and Haze (yup I liked it haha) Resistance etc etc all amazing games. The interface Was my favourite that Sony has done. Loved the themes. The fact you could burn off CDRs and save any films or audio onto your hard drive was incredible. The online was fantastic. The blu-ray player was one of the best for the time aswell. My favourite Sony console of all time. I didn't connect with the ps4 and ended up preferring the xbox one and never owned a ps1 or ps2 as always had nintendo consoles but the PS3 really did it for me :) 👍 Great video btw guys.

The price of the PS3 is the reason in huge sales for the PS2 which helped that system sales. The PS3 at $599 while the PS2 sold at $99 and for the first 18 months/ 2 years or so they were both coming out with the same games so simple math on which console were being bought by consumers until Sony finally discontinued the PS2 altogether.

One other thing I forgot to mention that I would love to get. I would love to get one of those PS3 Test systems that Radical Reggie has that play all Region PS2 and PS1 games and that allow you to force 1080P on PS3 games. That would be great to have.

You guys should update this video and talk about something very important the variants of the variants different memory sizes and crucial knowledge when hunting for fat ps3 specifically backwards compatibility.

Was stoked when i brought my 3D tv and i already had something to play the media. Playing God of war Ascension in 3D made me realise the power of the PS3 when utilising the hardware properly

Yeah that is amazing! We dont own it but have played it and it was alot of fun! Cheers!

I got the Xbox 360 late in that generation (2012) because thats what my friends had and they wanted me to play online with them. But I always loved Sony and had (still do) the Ps2 and played a ton of games on it. But, I picked up a Ps3 slim a couple years ago for the exclusives for it and Im glad i did. I have a ton of exclusives, but have also gotten alot of cross platform games since just because they were so dang cheap. I mean a game for $2-$3 bucks is hard to pass up. I love it for God of War, Killzone, Resistance, The Last of Us and more. I actually picked up another Slim in a thrift shop for $30 bucks awhile back with a controller, charging cable for the controller, power cord and the super pricy Sony componet cables, so now I have 2 slim models. One in the game room and 1 in a spare bedroom. They are great consoles, I do love that UI. Both of mine look brand new, Im glad to have them. Like the 360 and Ps2 and Wii, I still find games for it that are new to me. Wow I felt the EXACT same way about the "move" and have never considered it, may have to look into that if I come across one cheap. Another reason I love your videos, thanks fellas!

so underated in 2020 still use my slim for netflix and youtube ,bbc player was recently removed tho in the uk also still play and collect ps3 games even tho most 3rd party are better on 360 but only really collect exclusives for ps3 but pads are so hard to replace in 2020

So iv obviously been gaming since I was young, og game boy life and snes. BUT the ps3 is the first console I bought myself. I went out bought a 26 inch HDTV, a 60gig ps3 and an extra controller. Saved serious money making 9 bucks an hour at jiffy lube to buy it. It was my first hard core gaming with friends online. Ended up selling my 60 gig to buy a high end clutch for my racecar at the time and then got a 360. And loved the 360. They are both imo killer consoles can't go wrong either way.

The thing that sold me on the PS3 was the Blu Ray player. I actually didn’t get a 360 til after my PS3 and my library for it is 8x bigger. I still am collecting for it, play it a lot and use the Blu Ray player regularly too.

I've had my PS3 Slim for a couple of years now and my list of wanted games has always been small because the 360 did all the 3rd party titles better. Still, there are some really cool games to play on the PS3. Anything that involves a light gun experience is always welcome on my shelf and/or digital library in the case of HotD4. Stuff like Razing Storm and HotD Overkill is the reason I own a Move setup and two GunCon 3's. The Resistance titles and Killzone games are also pretty cool, not Halo levels of good but still something different enough to have fun with. The PS3 is also the only way to play Gal Gun with a light gun-like controller via the Move, but you didn't hear that from me ok? lol :P Honestly, if I had to pick a few consoles that everyone should jump on before they get crazy expensive it would be the OG Xbox, Xbox 360 and PS3. Everything older than those is already expensive so its too late to be thrifty there, but the ones I mentioned are still very reasonable to collect in most ways. Xbox 360 has a huge library of hidden gems just waiting to be explored, the OG Xbox is practically a ticking time bomb since every other console within its generation is climbing in price and the PS3 has no backwards compatibility with new consoles so it will hold its value for a long time.

Bought my first PS3 new in 2015, it was a replacement for my 2005 PS2 that finally gave up, it's a 250GB Super Slim and still works fine today, it never gave me a reason to upgrade to the 4, yesterday I picked up 4 games at a thrift shop for $10, now that's another reason to stick with my old buddy

Yeah its super affordable to collect for! PS4 is that way also if you ever upgrade! Cheers!

YES YOU SHOULD....games are abundant and dirt cheap......and the console is still amazing

house of the dead 4 and some move controllers i feel would be perfect for when you have friends round, its like having an arcade shooter at home

Damn, a 2021 video seems like yesterday! We’re almost half way through 2023 already! Time is flying and here we are in 2023 and the PSA is still out about the PS3, IT’S THE RIGHT TIME TO BUY FOR THE PS3!!!! I REPEAT BUY FOR THE PS3 RIGHT NOW!

Yes it is! Grab it before the price goes up! Cheers!

While I prefer the 360 I actually don't have one at the moment. But I have a modded OG Xbox and a Series X so I think I'm mostly covered for anything Xbox I want to play. I do have a PS3 though I started collecting for maybe two years ago or so. The slim 120gb edition, although I upgraded the hard drive to a 500gb. I've got about 40 games including Heavy Rain, The Uncharted Trilogy, The Last of Us, both Infamous games, Twisted Metal, every God of War game, and let's not forget Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, that you guys were kind enough to send me. So basically all the required hits and a solid mix of action, platformer, rpg, shooters, sports. I'll collect more for it at some point. For anyone looking though, it's a great system to get into and the majority of games are dirt cheap, especially when compared to the 360 counterparts, which I'm sure is partially due to the backwards compatible features on the current gen of Xbox. And of course the PS3 does play original playstation games as well for anyone interested. Cheers fellas.

I got the backwards compatible ps3 a long time ago in its peak for a bill and spent a bill to fix the hard drive. I love it and don't regret it. Nothing like 3 systems in one. Great and epic titles, crisp feeling controllers and just beautiful looking system.

We really want to track down a fully backwards compatible version this year. Hopefully we can find one on the cheap. Cheers!
