PS3 was the golden generation of gaming for me with the best lineup of exclusives released during its lifetime like:
Uncharted trilogy, Resistance trilogy, Killzone 2 and 3, TLOU, Flower, Journey, LBP 1 and 2, R&C Future games, inFamous 1, 2 and Festival of Blood, Heavenly Sward, Folklore, MGS4, GOW3 and Ascension, Puppeteer, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, GT5 and 6, Tokyo Jungle, Twisted Metal, Rain, Warhawk and Starhawk, PSASBR, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Modnation Racers and several more!!
The HD collections started on it and brought many awesome games from the PS2 era in stunning HD which i played many of them for the first time since i didn’t game a lot during the PS2 era.
PS3 was the first console i bought myself and kickstarted my official gaming journey. During the 90s and early-mid 2000s i was gaming casually on my family’s NES, Sega Genesis, 3DO, PS1 and PS2.
PS3 had PS Home which was a mind blowing social experience when i first experienced it in 2009 which got me many friends that i still have and i think the UI was and still fast except the PS store when it was updated in 2012.
Supported CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, Flash drives and sticks and i could store all the media i accumulated through the years on it.
The first console for me to have Wifi, operating system, trophies, customisable UI, online gaming, store and communications with friends and plays all sorts of media i had bought or stored on it with the chance to upgrade the storage, which i did from 80GB to 720GB.
Its the fanciest looking console for me (Phat model) and looked and still look very premium with its design and its reflective piano black coating.
It was a dream and i had the best time on it and still do! and created many beautiful memories during my late teens and early 20s.
I still use my PS3 and play new games i bought from Ebay/PS store in 2023-present and i still think its a remarkable machine, even in todays standards and especially during its time.
