Forums - Sony Discussion - I got a PS3 again for the first time since 2014

Still have my PS3 hooked up but it has been a while since I played it. I think EX Troopers disc is still in there from a few months ago. PS3 UI is hard to go back to.

It's also a great machine to play PS1 digital and disc games (emulation is perfect) and some PS2 classics remade on PS3 like Jak and daxter, Ico or Shadow of the colossus.

Sadly PS1 games are region locked and swap discs don't work even on the super slim. Kinda bummed I have to pull out one of my PS1/Ones then, hook it up then get the swap disc. Not a major deal, just when playing imports I need to use a whole different console can be annoying. At least I can use my PocketStation! Rarely get a chance to use that thing.

Yeah I love the guy but he can be a fucking idiot sometimes haha. He's very impulsive and often doesn't think things through. On the hand, he's also brilliant at a bunch of stuff that's all Greek to me like coding and computer animation.

In addition to the Uncharted games I reckon I'll revisit the Resistance trilogy too, I remember having fun with those. And Killzone 3, liked that one too.

If fans could get Dreamcast back online then maybe? If fans are dedicated enough it's not impossible.

You are in luck - you can play Warhawk online through an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.thalhammer.warhawkreborn&hl=en_US

It is kinda cool to own the full 7th gen Triforce again, got em all lined up under my TV.

There's not really anything left on PS3 I haven't already played or passed on, but it has been a very long time since I played the games I did enjoy on it, so revisiting those should make these long barren months more bearable.



Hope you have a good time with it.

Depends on the model I guess? My Super Slim works flawlessly since 7 years.

The one I just picked up is the 2009 regular slim. For a "slim" model it's still a fair size, I'd forgotten how big they were haha.

My super slim didn't last long at all. Technically it still works fine, and the problem is very miniscule. Basically, anytime the fan kicks into high gear it makes a loud grinding noise. And I can't stress enough that when I say loud, I mean loud as fuck. Like... oh shit, the neighbors are going to call the cops, loud. I tried getting into the console but I don't think I have the tools or the patience.

Keep in mind, this only really happens when the fans rev up all the way, so I can use the console for Netflix and maybe a little bit of gaming, depending on what I'm playing. But since I do have another PS3 phat that's in working condition, I just opt to use that instead for gaming.

Oh, and it's just a 12GB super slim (yes, they did make 12GB PS3s briefly). I remember the day I found out that I couldn't install a 10 GB game because it needs to allocate about twice that amount of space to perform the install. That day has since been known as Christmas.
