No, it's still connected to one of my TVs and I've the games at hand, but no desire to play them. Doesn't help that I believe its the worst PS by far and I liked maybe 2 or 3 games at most.

Do you still play your PS3
- Thread starter angelgrievous
- Start date
A few times a year to play whats left of the old PS+ offerings, its down to fewer than 30 so I should have a few years of usage left.
I would but the GPU solder or something melted and separated the die from the mobo and now it doesn't turn on =\ such a shame too because it was a day1 phat ps3 with hardware BC and I played a ton of my ps1/2 games on it.
Yup still do OP and after i found out you could combine a Brook converter with the DualShock4 back button attachment, I'm even more energized to do so now.
Things I'm replaying on it:
RE3
Killzone2
Armored Core V
Bionic Commando RE and 2009
Demon Souls

My HDMI output broke on my PS3 last year. So nope, haven't played any for a good while. Although I have spent some time playing PS3 games on PsNow now and then.
Ive been on a PS3 revival for the last week or two and having an absolute blast. So many great games that still hold up. I hope Sony finds a way to bring PS3 back compat to the ps5.
I just recently did a little PS3 project- I have upgraded the HDD to a Samsung 1TB 860 EVO (overkill I know) and Installed ALL of my digital library (which mostly consists of PS3 exclusives) nice and organized and now I'm going through some games which I never played before
like Infamous 1/2,Tokyo Jungle,Heavenly Sword and Folklore. PS3 is a special console and I even have some PS2 classics installed like Persona 3 and the 2 Maximo games.

Mostly my GF, old PS1 stuff from her childhood, Super Puzzle Fighter 2, Catherine and Gran Turismo 6.
I mostly play some Afterburner (wich needs to be ported to every console for the rest of time)

Does it still play the most recent Blu Ray discs? My Samsung BD player stopped playing discs with the most recent drm keys years ago because Samsung stopped supporting the system because reasons (capitalism).
Been playing a lot of niche games that I missed during its life cycle lately.
In the last few months I played and platinumed:
- Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
- Nier
- Drakengard 3
- Deadly Premonition
- No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise
All these games are extremely janky with shitty performance lol but I stuck with them and really enjoyed them.
I also bought a bunch of games for it that are still in my backlog:
- Skate 3
- Folklore
- Puppeteer
- Hakuna Mattata
- Aquanaut's Holiday
- Sengoku Basara HD Collection (Japanese)
- Resident Evil 6

Not tried yet, tried a couple of older games and loaded fine.
just googling and I think 2.80 firmware is pre OtherOS removal but not sure
No but for whatever reason I cant bring myself to sell it. Most of its exclusives * of interest to me* got remastered. I have some Ps1 classics but I prefer to play them on the Vita. Last time I turned it on, the UI and controller really didn't feel good to me.
When I think about it though, I've never owned a console longer than the current slim model I have, which was purchased in 2011. All of my consoles before and after I would have sold off long before 9 years, even if I repurchased another system down the line.

Probably haven't used mine since 2011... and back then, it was to watch a bluray.
Stopped using it because it was modded and didn't want to update it.

Still my main gaming console (Wii is in the loft as I use Dolphin now). At the moment I'm playing Gran Turismo 6, PoP Sands of Time HD, Resident Evil CVX HD, and Parasite Eve. Also looking forward to 3D Dot Game Heroes, MGS4 and replaying Killzone 2 (what a game!)
Edit: also regularly play Metal Slug 1-3 as they never get old!
Double edit: also I have Nier in the pile along with loads of other digital games I got mega cheap over the years. Maybe one day I'll finally finish Chrono Cross and Dino Crisis...

It's still hooked up to my TV but I haven't used it much in recent years. If PS5 has BC I'm gonna have to pull the plug. Makes me kinda sad to think about. :(
My launch PS3 is still going strong, so I'm using it to play through Raw Danger on PS2. It's my go to console for catching up or revisiting older games that slipped through the cracks.

Well, yes there is? Money? It would sell at least a few million copies at the worst, and would likely boost multiplayer if it introduced new RDR1 themes content tonRDR2 so that would make them more money too
If they didn't do it is because they feel there's no reason to. And rdr2 improves on everything the first game did, so, yeah, there's really no reason to spend money on it. It's better they do new games that waste time and money on remasters/remakes.
Saw a gif of Killzone 2 in the Sony OT and it made me look over at the place my consoles are. My PS3 is there but needs a few cables connected for it to fire up. Killzone 2 is in a box in the next room. So I almost played my PS3 today. Still some hours left in the day so it could still happen. Will see how the night pans out. So no I don't play it regularly but it's there and with some minimal work I can play it.
They literally end the game where the first one begins. You're telling me using existing assets and adding more to sell a $40+ remake for players who never played the original, isn't a good business idea? It could even be an expansion to RDR2. They'd spend significantly less $ on it with the already existing content than a full remake.
Nah, as soon as I got the PS4, I handed it down to my little sisters, who sold it for an XB1. There wasn't much of anything on there that made me wanna keep it
I like to play the Project Diva games, MGS, and a while back games like vanquish that hasn't been ported. Though i honestly prefer to play MGS on PS2 for CRT. And that god tier project diva game came out on PS4, so.... it pretty much collects dust, sadly. What a great console. Not very hard to have a good time while you're on that.
I didn't take the PS3 when I moved out. My dad still uses the PS3 as his Netflix driver and to re-play Uncharted 1 every few months.
Very rarely since i lend it out to my dad who just casualy plays NHL and runs over people in GTA. Sometimes i take it home though to play some old favourites.
If it were, they'd had done it already. So, yeah, they don't think so and I don't either. I'd rather they focus on new games and I'm glad that's what they're doing. The previous game is perfectly playable on the x1x. We don't need a remake at all
This is my son's (12) main console for whatever reason. We have plenty of choices but he enjoys gaming on the PS3. I recently bought a ton of physical PS3 software for cheap that I have on XB360 as well as Steam/GoG simply so he can enjoy it on his system of choice. In fact tomorrow is his birthday and he'll be getting a brand new copy of Red Dead Redemption. Again, he could easily play it on the Xbox One X on a 4K monitor but, nope, he wants to be on The Triple, heh. More power to him, I say.
EDIT - I will say that ever since I purchased a brand new DualShock 4 for him he's played the PS3 a lot more. You never realize how much a better (in my opinion) controller will make the experience that much more fun overall.
