PS3 Buying Guide & Favorite Games

"They should make a sequel of Red Dead Redemption ..." "Why haven't they made an HD version of this (Spyro)??" Makes me laugh watching in 2019 seeing that both of those things actually happened. Cheers!

The PS3 still feels current to me even though it was released 13 years ago.

I need to point out that when the PS3 first came out, Blu-Ray and 1080P were new to consumers. At the time, a name brand Blu-Ray player could cost anywhere between $400 to $600. It made sense, at the time, to purchase a system that was a next generation gaming machine and a next generation Blu-Ray player that could handle the latest and greatest in AV technology.

Hey Metal Jesus. I just fixed my fat model CECHA01 model PS3 the other day. I watched some YouTube videos and read a bunch of articles about the problems with the original PS3 models, and I am able to report that I brought my Yellow Light of Death PS3 CECHA01 back to life the other day. I have never felt so accomplished... lol. Anyway just letting you know and the folks watching that the old PS3 is fixable, BUT it does take a little no-how that ANYBODY can learn to do. And the cool thing is that once you replace the capacitors on the PS3 then you essentially have a full-proof fix that should last you a long time. I cleaned mine inside and out and have it on display as it's my favorite console of all and I'm 35 years old... I think the original PS3 is really special with the PS2 hardware built right onto the same motherboard and you basically have 3 generations of PlayStation games playable on a single console. That's really special. So in short don't throw your "broken" PS3s away! With a little time (and a little money for a soldering iron and some new capacitors) you can bring your old console back to life and still get years of use out of it.

Good to see such a lovely, long-haired beauty in this video. That goes for Kelsey too.

I've had my ps3 slim for 6 years now and i absolutely love it, will always have a special place in my heart

Swapping out the hard drive for the SSD is a n absolute 'gamechanger' for load times and it's super easy being user swappable. Highly highly recommend.

I waiting a long time to buy a PS3 too. Bought one yesterday.

Wow guys! I have my Slim since 2010 and I didn't know that I can play PS1 discs on it omg :P Time to dig my old PS1 games out :)

This video inspired me, I went on Craigslist and found a second generation slim PS3 W/30 games for $75. Talk about bang for the buck!

Ive bought a Ps 3 Slim, with 20 Games and 2 Controllers for about 50 Euros, very nice.

I bought a Super Slim PS3 about a year ago, practically brand new in box with 12 games, 3 controllers, everything like new, hardly played by previous owner. I really love that it's so light. It's my favorite model of all PS3's. BUT I did not know that ALL PS3's play PS1 games! Wow. Mind blown! Thanks for the video and info! MJR and Kelsey, you kick ass!!

My girlfriend's excuse: 20:34 "It's short and i own it and i just have not plugged in yet"

Two fact corrections: The 12GB superslim PS3 has that storage as solidstate on board, so the drivebay is empty, you can just pop your own 2,5" drive in there. Even if the drive cage is missing its easy to fit there without it. The 12GB then gets disabled. Also, the Sixaxis is only missing the rumble. It does have tilt/motionsensors, so youré not really missing any functionality. Also the Sixaxis is lighter, some people prefer that.

Damn Kelsey schooled Metaljesusrocks on tons of games. She is amazing!

June 2019, still playing some games on PS3. 🤘🏼

I graduated HS in 2007. Then I got my first job and bought a PS3. For a long time my PS3 only served the purpose of playing Oblivion and PS2 games. Now I have over 200 games for PS3 and I'm considering buying a second console to put in another room. Love the PS3.

My wife is a fat model that's backwards compatible.

Picked up a PS3 Slim Scarlet Red edition for £50 last week. Gonna play all your suggestions. Its the perfect time for the ps3. Games are cheap because its not "retro" yet and the games are still semi modern to look at.

I still come back to this video al the time when I’m out game hunting so Ik what model PS3s are worth picking up for backwards compatibility
