>>337422190
>hurr durr its all shit!!!111
mind explaining yourself faggot?
In terms of games there wasnt much going for it other than mgs4 and uncharted but hot damn the fat ps3 is still the best looking.
Glad my launch one still works
>>337421865
Damn, I got my ps3 on early 2010 and thank god I never had to deal with those shitty early ps3 games...
U2, DeS and MGS4 were the only ones that I liked, I tried infamous after it was given away after the psn outage and I felt it was a really mediocre game
I feel sorry for all those people who had to play all those other games
>>337419072
>>337421865
That's not a whole lot for 3 years. Then again... probably still more than Wii U
>>337422284
warhawk was pretty fun. damn shame the online is dead
>>337422026
>>337422190
>>337422372
honestly comparing this to the ps4 and xbone, it really isnt that bad
>>337422441
Well even the fucking gamecube has more games than both current gen consoles combined.
>>337419072
>guys this game is awesome, halo 3? more like gaylo shit
Fuck you anon, I felt for your shit and I suffered this awful game
What is the best version of the PS3?
>>337422807
PS3 Super Slim, the best version, cheaply constructed, but durable as fuck, really small and consumes very low energy, not to mention the quieter ps3 version of all the consoles.
And the best part, the failure rate for super slim models is 1 ylod for every 10 consoles
>>337421924
I used to like him before he became obnoxious as fuck
No games my ass
>>337423054
The disc loading slide thing is lame
>>337422578
I actually played this last week.
It was pretty shitty.
Guess the servers were shut down since I can't connect for some classy multiplayer.
>>337423076
I see a total of1good games
>>337423190
kind of, but overall its a better machine than the disgusting fat and the highly ylod prone slim
This whole Era was the last time I was really excited in video games.
It doesn't even feel like the PS4 happened.
What is the console more greenest of all video games?
a console that does not spend almost no energy, and is 100% environmentally friendly.
>>337423297
Why is the slim more expensive than the super slim?
>>337423313
I dont know about you, but I feel the same, and I think its because I was 18 when the ps3 was launched, and I had to save a lot of money over a long period of time to get my console and enjoy all the games I eagerly wanted to play, but with the ps4 now having a job getting a new system is boring, because you dont even have to save the money, so you just get it and that's it, it doesnt feel so valuable as the console that took you months in order to get
>>337420482
Abunch of games were cancelled because of the high budget of the PS3, like Getaway 3 and Eight Days, besides that other shit like Killing Day and some that didn't quite make it far into development
>>337423538
people may shit on this but i swear they advertised the ps2 the exact same way
>>337423493
Ouya, you can power it with one of those cheap solar panel chargers
>>337422253
>both my fat PS3 died earlier this year
>both cannot be fixed
I HATE IT
>>337423639
Holy damn.
I was going to say I'm a lot older, but I guess you would be about 28 as well?
Can't believe it's been 10 years already.
>>337423792
Sony wont fix them?
>>337423297
>fat
>Disgusting
Nigga, the Fat is the best looking PS3
>>337423785
You can be used with solar charger on a handheld?
I've got an original 60GB fat PS3.
Every time I turn it on I worry it will be the last.
>>337422241
I did only two of those games are actually good, the rest range from okay to pure shit.
>>337423687
>i swear they advertised the ps2 the exact same way
They didn't. Find even one advertisement that played the PS2's DVD capabilities as a trump card and not as an extra.
>>337423927
Im not sure, because the handheld requires a little bit more of power for the screen, while the ouya only needs energy for the cpu, but I have only tried with the ouya
>>337423687
The reason the PS2 sold so many units was because it actually was a cheap DVD player the fucking PS3 was 600 bucks standalone Blu Ray players were way more cheap at the time.
>>337423908
Nope, out of warrant and I live in a third world country, meaning the local sony has no ideas what a PS3 is besides selling units they imported from US
Tried 3 local IT guys who specialize on fixing PS3s
All 3 said the board is fine and healthy, but it just wont work no matter what they do
>>337423958
Same, that's why I want to know which one to buy as a back up
>>337423824
class of 1987 right here
>>337424127
Standalone BD players in 2006 were like 700 to 1000 USD
the PS3 was cheap as fuck as a BD player
>>337424083
its pretty hard to find any launch ps2 ads
>>337424127
>The reason the PS2 sold so many units was because it actually was a cheap DVD player
In the year PS2 sold the most number of units (2002), you could buy a DVD for $40 from Walmart.

>>337424101
What a handheld console that is very environmentally friendly?
a portable that does not spend a lot of energy, and is 100% environmentally friendly
>>337424127
wrong, blu ray players were way more expensive than the ps3. the thing is, no one gave a shit about blu ray. hell, even today blu ray still hasnt fully taken over dvds
>>337424143
Sony will exchange it for a price
>loved the fuck out of Motorstorm back in the day
>Pacific Rift was the perfect follow-up
>Apocalypse made some mistakes but was alright
>the Japan earthquake killed its sales
>Evolution makes Driveclub
>delayed 34 times
>broken as shit on launch
>PS+ Edition debacle makes situation worse
>Studio disbanded
The ONE fucking game I wanted to see on PS4 hardware considering how great it looked and played on PS3, and the studio is dead. Fucking brilliant Sony. They should have just made Polyphony port GT6 to PS4 so Evolution could make a Motorstorm, but no.
>>337424143
>trusting third world country IT guys
BUILD WALL
>>337424268
dude it sold a fuck ton on launch because you had people who didnt give a fuck about games buying it for dvds

>DS3 not much better when it finally comes

Granted by the time i got my first PS3 in 08 all the issues where fixed but it was a used launch console so it
>Overheated alot
>was a 60gb unit so no PS2 backwards compat (had pc emu's so who cares)
Eventually in 2010 it died and i got a Slim and i havent had a problem with it since whacked a 500gb hdd in it still works today
Only use it for blu rays now
Great console with a terrible launch, free PSN was fine until the 2010 hacking where it was offline for most of the fucking year
Good times.
Sometimes I wonder what could have been.
>>337424582
>Great console with a terrible launch, free PSN was fine until the 2010 hacking where it was offline for most of the fucking year
Are you stupid? the psn outage was in 2011 and it was offline only for a month

Would have been lame

Oh

>>337424723
No it wasnt the network was so fucking bad it was out for most of the year and downloaded SO fucking slow the whole time i used it so 2008-2015
>>337424083
This meme is getting out of control.
The DVD was sometimes bought up, but never a goddamn selling point and certainly not the reason it won that generation.
>>337424723
>and it was offline only for a month
>only for a month
top kek
>>337424367
>Apocalypse
>allright
Nah nigga, it was shit
Earthquake or not, that game was the first sign evolution was dead inside
Artic Edge was the best Motstorm ever made since it build on top of the first and second foundations to improve gameplay and not chasing for the "EPIC" visuals like Apocalypse did
Shame the Studio behind Artic Edge died since sony made them make Little Deviants, a game destined to bomb from day one
>>337424765
Probably, probably. We'll never know.

I bought a DVD player in 99 for like $250 dollars. Shut the fuck up.
>>337424790
of course it was a selling point dumbass. $300 for a fucking dvd player in 2000 and you honestly think sony isnt going to advertise the shit out of that?
>>337424873
>>337424765
>>337424665
Most outlets that had access to it reported it being comfortable to hold
Nowadays you can buy chink replicas of it with DS3 guts if you want to try for yourself
>>337424982
sure you did
>>337424982
We had a PC in 1999 with a DVD Drive

I have a 40GB fat one.Meticulously upkeep has been done on it,replaced the fan,put in better heat sink compound and it runs like a dream.
>>337425097
I also bought The Mummy that day. First DVD I ever watched.
>>337425556
What was the last blu ray you bought?
>early PS3 era was absolutely awful, both in hardware and in software for the system
>STILL miles better than if you bought into the Xbox 360 at that time
It's amusing that Sony's worst is still better than Microsoft's best.
>>337425690
Never bought one
>>337425739
>ps3 was expensive as fuck
>360 was made out of paper macher
>wii appealed to everyone who didnt like games
7th gen had a rough start but it still had some good games
>>337424982
Imagine you didn't play games but you wanted a DVD player and had kids?
PS2 was also one of the better models on the market. DVD wasn't the only thing going for it but it was still a hot selling point.
>>337420729
I wanted it
it looked comfy
>>337424960
>underage detected.
No, the real underage are those people that fall for the meme of "People only bought PS2 cause of DVD" without having actually lived in that period.
Cause if you did live in that period you would know that DVD players got cheap really fucking fast. The PS2 was a good deal for a DVD player literally for its first year only. And not that many people bought it in its first year.
>>337425026
>$300 for a fucking dvd player in 2000 and you honestly think sony isnt going to advertise the shit out of that?
Well they didn't. It wasn't very prominent in their advertising at all. Certainly not like with the PS3 which was all Blu-ray this and that.
>>337424982
This. Holyfuck sonyniggers were stupid. that was one of its selling features. people buy shit they don't need.
>>337425869
>PS2 was also one of the better models on the market.
Not at all. I remember the articles in hi-fi magazines that were comparing the PS2 with dedicated DVD units.
It was far inferior to high-end DVD models. It literally performed like the cheapest units. Not to mention doesn't come with a remote and no back output plugs. Or face buttons on the front for movie control.
Anyone else get one of the early ps2's that wouldn't play the blue disks?
>>337425954
its pathetic to see people who are underage and pretend they arent underage

Who tax return here?
Bought one with the checks he sent out. Thanks, Dubya.
>needed to buy remote and dongle to play dvds on xboxheug
The fuck was that all about? top kike microsoft.
>>337426418
You needed to buy a remote for PS2 as well unless you wanted to awkwardly deal with a corded controller while watching movies.
>>337425954
>People only bought PS2 cause of DVD
there were people who bought because of that
>>337426362
Did you get the full $600
God damn the late 2000s were comfy
>>337426657
>there were people who bought because of that
Yes. In the PS2's first year. Where only a fraction of consoles were sold.
>>337426768
>Where only a fraction of consoles were sold.
thats still a lot
>>337426575
>not having the logitech cordless
>>337426672
Yes
>>337426575
You set the controller on a coffee table or on the arm of the couch.
Set it next to the tv if you worried about someone dragging the console down by the controller
I know 2 people who had a ps2 remote and they never used it because they took the batteries out for their TV remote and never replaced them
>"the infinite power of the Cell"
>PS3 ended up weaker than 360
lmao
>>337426575
It's not like watching movies requires constant controller input
How fat can you be really
>>337427035
Now you know 3 and I used mine

I really liked Infamous. It was my favourite PS3 exclusive. Brought back that style of PS2 action platforming I really liked, though I can see why people might see it as kind of mediocre.

>>337427098
Not as far as the CPU goes.
>>337427098
>Ps3 was weaker than the Xbox 360
No. It wasn't. Go meme somewhere else.
The CPU was more powerful, and the GPU was the same.
The only reason alot of games ran better on the 360 is because the architecture of the Ps3 was borderline retarded, and devs couldn't use it properly.
>PS3 had a horrible 2 years
>Still ended up being better than the Xbox 360 and Wii put together
>And still outsold the Xbox 360
HOW?
>>337423212and it's not a console exclusive
>>337424305
The GBA sp had a solar charger that you could stick to the console so you could leave it in the sun to chargeIt actually wasn't to bad, just had the retarded premise of leaving it outside, but I was used a window and it would charge from dead while I was at school
>>337428010
It's the same for every Playstation.
>>337423297
>>337423913
Oh please the super slim is the ugliest out of the 3 and gets mega hot.
At least mine did. Then its hdmi port broke.
Good thing I had my fat.
>>337427905
>and the GPU was the same.
Hahaha. Holy shit.
The PS3's GPU didn't have a unified shader model and no eDRAM.
It was literally a year behind the 360 GPU in technology (despite being released a year later).
Also the PS3 had shitty RAM in general.
