Something I rarely see people mention about the Super Slim is that it includes an eject button! Yes, there's a button that triggers a mechanism and opens the tray automatically. I always use it because I am pretty sure it can prevent the mechanism from getting worn out from being forcedly opened all the time.

This version of the PS3 I still own. Even though it had some overheating problems, but very rarley, I still love this console and it's still fully functional. Also 500 GB is good enough for A LOT of PS3 games. 7th generation didn't have a lot of games that are over 30 or 40 GB to play. So my PS3 collection has gotten very huge.

I got the PS3 Super Slim blue version and I love it.

My first PS3 was the first slim. It got the yellow lights of death or whatever you call it after a year and a half exactly when the warranty expires. My new PS3 slim from 2013 has worked flawlessly since then though.

I have the Super Slim myself, and i LOVE it! Great video, BTW

I watched a video from your channel 4 months ago and your videos got so much better in this short time period

Had no clue until yesterday that there is a button to open the disc cover on this thing. Learn something new everyday

You have the 3 versions of the PS3 that’s so cool dude! I see some PS4 games on the back… maybe a video soon?!🤷🏻‍♂️

I literally bought a PS3 like 4 days ago this exact same model. The disc tray sliding around scared the shit out of me initially but now I think I like it. It's a little beast of a machine but it does feel very cheap.

It did cost me close to $1000 CAD for a PS3 and 2 games on the launch day. Worth the wait, there was close to no one

@@jumaanecabrera8091 I also was at the PS2's and PSP's releases days

At the time when the PS3 originally released a new Blu-ray player was about $800-$1000 compared to the PS3 at $600. In fact the Blu-ray player that was built into the PS3 was what justified the 600.00 price tag to most people at the time. Hgtv's were just coming around and everything was being compared to 720 and 1080p, and to be able to upgrade that majorly to a new Blu-ray player from a DVD player and be able to get the next generation gaming system all-in-one setup is what appeased to everybody. You have to remember at that time the Xbox 360 had an entire year ahead of the PS3 on release basically, they didn't have a built-in Blu-ray what they had was an additional add on that you had to buy which was HD-DVD, and nobody wanted to have to buy an additional drive play HD DVD discs. At that point people still hadn't forgotten about the betamax/vhs wars that happened in the 80s and we didn't even want to have to deal with that s***. PlayStation 3 certainly had a slow start at the beginning but they sure as s*** took it towards the end. I don't think it happened to be enough to win that generation of console wars but the system has sure as s*** aged better. Especially with the ability to be able to not have a proprietary hard disk drive and being able to upgrade it to an SSD.

i’m really starting to like this channel, keep it up 👍

Around the 5:00 mark, yeah man, I get what you're saying. I've thought about it too and I've even wondered if you could substitute the disc cover with something else if it ever stopped latching for what ever reason. Good video. Subscribed

I was lucky to find a backwards compatible PS3 at a pawn shop last year. I made sure to grab it. People contacted the pawn shop after it sold!

I recommend installing MultiMan and Hen on your SuperSlim. Install your games onto hard drive. Can save disc drive and game discs from wear n tear. Can attach a two terabyte external hard drive. Installed just over 80 games onto hard drive. Still got about a terabyte left

nice video!

My personal fav console was the Slim Model. In particular the 3000B variant where they upgraded the GPU slightly so it runs slightly cooler and quitter than previous slim models

Still remember when I went and got my first PS3 cuz I had a couple of them, I got every game that had been released what's the newest games to have been released at that time were Force unleashed and mortal Kombat versus DC, I got the remote and another controller and the exact total cost me $1,001 no cents I paid cash and walked out of Best buy with a huge bag feeling like a champ. The irony behind my PS3 adventure is that I got the first gen backwards compatible fat version and then that one died, had to transition over to a slim which ironically was lost because my ex-girlfriend took it for her son, and now I have a super slim which ironically was given to me by a buddy of mine who had to but didn't play video games and he decided to just keep one and give me one we had no idea if it worked it was full of wax and all other s*** but I cleaned it up and it works perfect. I even slapped in a 2 terabyte SSD and it was worth it

I have a white super slim and it's been nothing but reliable. If you're concerned about the door breaking I recommend using the open button on the right. The door will gently slide open. It may be because I have the white model but I don't think it looks cheap at all. Looks rather sharp sitting next to my silver PS2 slim!

Would the super slim not be able to read discs if the disc tray door somehow broke because of someone continually forcing it open by hand instead of using the button to open it?

Quote of the year : " I don't know if I'm as dumb as a tree stump in the back of a wine vineyard. " 😂😂

You sound like your from cheecagooh (chicago) like Dan Aykroyd in snl and blues Brothers. Stumbled onto your site love it so far. Maybe they used it as a baseball base not a glove. It looks more like a black George Forman grill and I got one as a Xmas gift 12 years ago and it still works hope the ps 3 goes the distance too.

Got my red gow version. I love it. Its now becoming my ps1 as i play through my old games and it has upscaling. I dunno how much it does bit its a thing lol

My original PS3 Slim's disc drive died in a year. I've had the Super Slim since it came out and it still works just about perfect. (Weirdly Gran Turismo 6 keeps crashing on certain races) but I can't narrow down what the issue is

I still have an 80gb fat model. Still kicking.

"Not the original 60gb model, because that thing sounds like the military is in your basement" 😂😂

You can play ps2 games on a super slim using hen. It's not a full jailbreak, but it's definitely worth it for that added backwards compatibility. Plus you can backup your ps3 games.

Super slim is my daily driver PS3!! Quiet as a mouse and hard pressed to ever overheat. My BC E01 just sits on my shelf as a beautiful showpiece and occasional PS2 gaming

I still have the PS3 Slim 500GB model, although it can be a little finicky about reading discs sometimes. My other PS3, the 320GB model, doesn't have that problem.

If this guy isn't a standup comic then he is missing his calling!

I want this slim ps3 just to have on my entertainment center and play my ps3 games. other then that I could just my OG-fat 60gb PS3, but this seems so much better. I love the sliding door of them.

PS3 Super Slim had the 40nm CPU and later models 28nm GPU making them very quiet. Not a lot of heat produced by the dies. I use a PS3 slim to play all my PS3 games. I just use the PS3 launch model to play my PS2 games in higher resolutions.

WORD IS BOND YO PS3 FOR LIFE!!! HARD R!

If u have concern about the tray just put it vertical it opens up smooth with the button.

the ps2 did have a "super slim" of some sorts. They rammed the power supply into a slightly different slim casing, meaning no external power brick. I forget what version number it is.

Got the super slim bundled with uncharted 3 and still have it today

After owning now, all three versions I still found the slim awesome, though the original design is classic. I absolutely do love the super slim to answer your question about the door. These are notorious for breaking. As long as the door is closed and the pin inside is pressed to read the disk you’re fine I have one that shouldn’t even boot but it does it’s partially broken. I resorted to keeping the lid off and also being it’s off the cooling is better being the outside air is being sucked in more then the inside system air. PS3 Hen is heaven on these too. These are much easier to service compared to the other two PS3’s which is a plus. If you’re lucky like me, I have the 12GB version so once you remove the SSD, HDD. It transfers your accounts and I believe saves too.

I hacked mine two days ago. Was looking for a couple rare games but they were really expensive so I just hacked it.

I love my super-slim. It has served me well over the years. I think it looks cool. Odd, but cool. As time goes by i think it will become alot more sought after because of its uniqueness

I have all 3 versions too I still use the super slim out of all of them I just recently Cleaned it out put it back together I have played it alot I got kinda smart and now I put a laptop cooling pad under it keep everything alive still but I love mine had it for years they are tough

I have the original slim (silver touch buttons) after my 60gb launch model got ylod'ed. Worked for many years but not anymore unfortunately. I might buy another slim or super slim just so I can replay infamous.

The Super Slim is actually pretty quiet once you replace it´s thermal paste. PS4 Pro is the loudest console I own. Replacing the paste did not work at all on it.

I had a 20gb hated the ps2 emulation. so I got a slim and a super slim. currently have the super slim on my semi. been pretty happy. started Resistance and just got Syndicate started as well. great stuff. forgot how graphically impressive it was

I had all 3 ‘styles’ across the 7th gen and still have my super slim. The only real reason I see the 12GB model being viable would’ve been to replace a broken one you already own and swap the HDD. By 2012 you could get Blu-ray players for around $100

You forgot to talk about the cd eject button instead of sliding the door open. I brought mine for $30 of Ebay because it didnt have bluetooth. $30 Controller adapter fixed that. I got sick of putting my slim in the oven to reball the CPU every 6 months. I play Ps1x2 on the series x. Emulation is such a better feeling on console compared to on pc. My latest rabbit hole is mouse and keyboard on ps3. I love my super reliable super slim 😍

Man I had the original without the ps2 emulator only to die with yellow light of death. A store had a special deal bring the old and with 100€ get the super slim. It is definitely an improvement because every summer the fat model in order to work properly. I had to turn the air condition to maximum in order not to shut down. If it plays all the games as before it is an improvement. But it is sad for someone who had the model with PS2 emulator.

It's ashame sony made a ps2 emulator for every ps3 but locked it behind rebuying digital versions. Anyway ps3 super slim with hen can play ps2 games even some psp games. It's actually easy to repair and clean thanks to the top loader. Only reason i have one is because my mgs 80gb died in 2013.

So many gamers this days in 2024, truly enjoying going back on PS3 and XBOX 360… And I’m one of them. Especially with the PS3, my favorite console of all times. Happy Gaming Everyone 😎.

by the way all ps3 models you can CFW and play ps2 games on no longer needed a ps3 backwards compatible i use a ps3 super slim

Super reliable!! Love my white one.

It's the worst one but the best one I still prefer the Slim, About the BC , it does run PS2 games via emulation I had to go the 🐔 route for the Super Slim in order for this to happen .

Have to agree with the super slim being most reliable. I had an origional 40gb that dies after 9 months, then an 80gb origional that died just shy of 2 years old then I got a super slim 500gb that I still have to this day. Thr first iteration was beutiful but bollocks....

The only issue i have with the ps3 is that in the future the CMO might stop working and i wont be able to access my digital liberary

Had the super slim for 10 years not one problem

i have a white super slim ps3 i love it i think it s most reliable ps3 people said it looks cheap but it s opposite i think

The regular slim and later fat models were not backward compatible. At least... they didn't have actual PS2 hardware inside like the original PS3. No big deal though. Better to get a separate PS2 console modded and fill a hard drive with less hassle.

I've only added 12 ps1 games to my collection this week. Although I did spend stupid amounts of money on the ps2 and ps3 silent hill games. On topic, I find the best ps3 to be the slim, not a fan of the flimsy door thingy on the super slim.

Personally I like the ps3 slim the best mine is still working greatbut it's cmos batter is dead and I can't play my digital games unless I sign into the psn which is very annoying something sony could eaisly fix like they did with ps4 which my launch Ed ps4 cmos is also dead and after the 9.00 patch it works great I can still acess all my digital game and play physical games.

Smart.move by sony, ps3 open tray gives you option to physically remove thengames without scratching the games, the drive on slim and fat can have faults where disks are stuck in the tray even moving the console with a disk in it scratches the game. Super slim does not has reliability if looked after none of this fifa and cod anger management attacks

So this version is worth it because there is no disc drive to break. All you do is pop the top off and it’s ready to go. This is the ps3 that I own
