Now that we're down to the last 2-3 years of PS4 I'm starting to realize that I think I enjoyed PS3 a lot more. And no, it wasn't just Folding@Home, but a few other things that I wish PS4 had. I think that's why that song goes "Stacy's PS3 has got it goin' onnnn".

    1. free online play 2. ps home 3. backwards compatibility 4. xmb 5. not having to delete games so often
  • @Kizarat
    The PS3's default moving background is so beautiful.
  • Being able to pop in any disc without needing to install anything to hard drive to play the game.
  • @TBAG
    Holy shit... Playstation Home.. I remember that. that was so weird back then.. good old days :')
  • @albertyeh898
    The phat PS3 when standing up is the most classy looking console ever.
  • @vphilendra
    You forgot not having to install games and being able to play them the moment you put the disc into the console.
  • @tcynight0198
    I like the PS3 beacuse I can play more than 5 games without having to delete another
  • @flowrepins6663
    I think older generations had better games. that is why most classics keep getting remasters

    I can remember the exact day I got a PS3 so it was 10 days after Christmas 2011 and we just came back from the shop and I went to the living room to play liberty city stories on my PSP or something and I was called to get something from my parents room and there was just a box I thought that was what it was so I took it down to them and after opening it I saw the black box and holy shit my 10 year old mind was blown away by it after setting it up and starting up a random game I was yet again blown away by the realistic graphics (unrelated this was on a 2002 tv) I shit you not I played it all night I know someone is gonna say "that's cool but did I ask" but I just thought it was relevant to the video

    I miss the old PlayStation and Xbox magazines that had demo disks packaged with the magazines themselves.

    We were all younger in the PS3 era. Less technology (eg. smartphones, social media overload, etc.), less adult responsibilities, and a touch of nostalgia, like going to gamestop, holding a game case in your hands, & browsing the titles. The smell of plastic... There wasn’t so much emphasis on digital download. Everything felt so new and incredible in those days.

    Absolutely love my PS3 but I have a PS4. The PS2 and PS3 were perhaps the consoles in which game developers cared more about story and gameplay.
  • @misterj1396
    I still play my PS3. Barely touch my PS4. The graphics aren’t even that much better.
  • @WiltedRaven2
    Im on ps3 right now until the ps5 comes out. Just makes me sad, ps3 days were the best times. Games and community Just wish the old xmb would come back. It will always be the best. The memories I made on this console almost make me shed a tear.
  • @jabbathehut2249
    You forgot to mention that beautiful orchestra sounding startup sound for the ps3. That orchestra riff always made me feel exited, like I was about to step into completely different universes. It always seemed to lighten my mood that little bit. It might have not been that important, but still, it was something that never got boring to listen to.
  • PS3 is easily one of the greatest systems ever made. The capabilities of it as a media device (the XMB is the greatest UI ever), coupled with the fantastic PS3 library, and being able to play 99% of PSX games. Such a fantastic system. It was a super exciting time in 2008 when Sony really started to make waves and show what the PS3 was capable of. I still play it more than my PS4.
  • @mackenziel1266
    The ability to play PS1 games, and some games exclusive to that time, like Batman Arkham City, Mortal Kombat 9, NBA 2K11 and a few more, have me coming back to my PS3 lately. I've also been disappointed lately in how buggy or broken a few games I recently bought are, like Cyberpunk and the GTA Trilogy. I think the NBA games in the PS3 generation are better than today's, mainly due to the AI not being so bad as it is in current titles.
