Got yellow light of death and decided I was to bored to reball it again so I rapped it in a towel and put a hairdryer on the back airvent (I had seen it in a video once returned after ten minutes and this is the result Is there still a chance of recovering my save games?

Idk why he still has sealed controllers though 😂

It's a shame that with that generation, they also added the yellow light of death :v

Stolen from YT, too good not to share.

Just farming for a unique experience.

6 years ago my Boss mentioned he had a ps3 in his attic in the box. I said I’ll take it if he ever got rid of it. Today he brought it to work and gave it to me.

Like, every time I boor up my PS3 I'm always blown away by how clean & modern the user interface looks despite this being nearly 20 years old at this point.

Like, if someone wiped my memory & presented me with the PS3 user interface and told me this was the latest system that Sony were working on, I wouldn't bat an eye at it.

Meanwhile, compare that with the Xbox 360 UI that it had back in 2006 or the Nintendo Wii UI, you can see clear as day those ones are very dated and don't hold a candle to the PS3. I've even attached screenshots to show what I'm talking about.

The Xbox 360 looks very blocky & cluttered with those tabs separated by those ugly looking blade things on the side. And the Wii has those big blocky icons that honestly remind me of one of those original iPhone models, there is seriously no reason for those icons to be that big. It looks like it would be a nightmare to navigate one of those menus. You can tell Microsoft and Nintendo was far from perfecting their menus back in 2006. Meanwhile, the PS3 looks clean, crisp & timeless with those gray icons & the tabs separated nicely. It still looks very nice, even today.

I just got it from eBay and I have mixed feeling .First of all charging my ps3 controllers without it being on is a bless alone .Also having my controllers so well protected is also a bless adding to that the ms and sd card reader is also cool to have since I was always jealous of the backwards model readers .Last but not least it has a usb hub in the back witch also helps me plug all the other controller charges that I have ….and an on off switch . That’s it .

What do you think about this kind of accesorie?

It’s sad to see how many great games from ps3 era are now death :(

And we don't be able to do anything about it

I recently bought a PS3 off eBay (UK) as I wanted to reminisce and play the old cod WAW. Plus, I have had PS1, 2, 3 and 4 and 3 was by far my favourite so wanted to get it as it brings back good memories.

However, in the box came this letter. I never used to use anything like this when I had my old PS3 7-8 years ago so this is all new to me. I won’t be putting any games on the usb stick or anything as I already have WAW on disc so will just be using that.

I just want to make sure there is no way someone can hack into my information if I create a PSN account and start playing WAW on disc. I’m fairly certain they wouldn’t be able too anyway and this note is just to notify myself that it is possible to put games on if I wanted too. I just want to make sure before I play anything. Thank you :)

Ok, during game play there are some parts that did look better on the PS5, mostly scenery, but to me that face looks worse on the PS5. Too bright and less detailed.

Start playing GTA V on my PS3 and i've forgot how beatifiul this game is. Despite all this 13 years, PS3 still impress.

Every time I play it on this console, it blows me away. Granted I play with an SSD and the loading times and texture streaming are much better, but still an outrageous achievement.

PS5 is undoubtedly the worst one so far

It worked I fixed a ps3 with a hairdryer
