You laughed at the time, but a launch PS3 is the best console you can own today.
Are there even any working launch models around?
>>729121876>You laughed at the time, but a launch PS3 is the best console you can own today.Not really. I'd rather have a slim. Parts are cheaper and you don't have to worry about ylod. And honestly, I'd rather have a later model 360, or even a Wii (for GC compatibility) over a PS3.
And yet PC still shits all over it, much like back when it released.
>>729121876there are approximately zero ps3 exclusives truly worth playing and i have like 5 ps2's. and 4 ps1's. and a steam deck, and a gaming pc that emulates all this shit. it's really not.
>>729121876I got the 360 because I could hack it and play free games
My launch model died back in like 2014Never had any hardware issues with my ps1, ps1 slim, or ps2 slim, all still work like new to this day
>>729121876It's dogshit in many aspects and its retarded architecture was the cause of many ports sucking cheesy cock, but it has soul, I like the hardware/UI design, it's always felt premium because of this and the exclusives, there's just something comfy about it.
>>729121876A jailbroken ps3 is the GOAT
>>729122761I'm trans btw if that matters
>>729122761Wrong. Now shut the fuck up.
>>729121876I'm partial to the super slims because they never ever break and have large hdds but yeah, the launch models with BC and the fact that they're easy as fuck to put homebrew on are pretty dope. If I didn't already have a PS2 I'd probably get one.
>>729121876Times have changed unc
>ugh sony don't give us all these useless ports! We want fewer options!!!
>>729122192>later model 360Actually the most reliable 360 by a county mile is a 2009 Elite. Look it up.
>>729123418hahahahaha
>>729123836Yeah the Jasper motherboard revision. I have 3 of them. I had 4 but I harvested the guts for my Halo 3 collectors edition.
>>729123639It was really dumb of them to have all this multimedia shit instead of just having some PS1/2 memory card and controller ports in there.At the very least the CF port could have been a memory card port.
>>729123639no one ever used these
>>729121876I gotted the 60GB version
>>729124456the PSP memory card port was useful for copying shit onto a PSP iirc.
>>729121876It was a cool multimedia system to own at the time but there's not much a reason to bother with it today unless you like ps3 games.
>>729121876Until the tokins go bad of course, assuming you can avoid the GPU issues
>>729121876RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACERRRRRRRRR
>>729121876Does the launch PS3 play PS2 games natively or through emulation?Some PS2 games won't work through CFW>>729124518You can actually replace PS3's hard drive with your own 1TB hard drive (or SSD if you want faster load times)Just that you gotta everything up before doing so and have to install stock firmware (or with a custom firmware)
You can easily emulate PS3 games now. There's no reason to buy a 2 decade old machine anymore.
>>729121929mine still works
>>729124954>Does the launch PS3 play PS2 games natively or through emulation?natively iirc hence the ridiculous launch price. later versions used emulation.
>emulates PS1 on my PC>emulates PS2 on my PC>emulates PS3 on my PCnothin' personnel, ꜱonyggers
>>729125223you can't emulate PS4 yet? what hapened to the bloodborne on pc bragging threads?
>>729121876>PS3 also cooks itself over time based on pattern can we assume PS6 will be competently designed and PS7 will self destruct also?
>>729124954**you gotta back everything up before doing so>>729125054Oh I see then
>>729125297nothing worth emulating on ps4no gameslmaobut yes, your ONE GAME exclusive can be emulated on PC too, so now PS4 literally has no exclusives
>>729125054I assume they used emulation for PS1 games as well? I have a slim PS3 and remember playing PS1 discs on it, despite everyone saying that fat PS3 is better because it's backwards compatible while slim PS3s aren't.
>>729125639All PS3 models can play PS1 discs. Only the original fat models can play PS2. But yes the PS1 backcompat was done via emulation on all PS3 systems and the very late PS2 slim consoles.
>>729121929I have two (one is Japanese)
>>729125598Witch and the Hundred Knight Revival and 2GodzillaSuper Robot WarsSakura WarsGravity Rush remastered and 2Unicorn Overlord (has an EN patch)Odin Sphere13 Sentinels The MissingNatural DoctrineGrim Grimoire remasteredGrand KingdomAnd a few others, I dunno, I'm not gonna turn mine on just to see what's loaded on it. If you can get a 9.00 PS4 pro for less than 150, I would say it's worth it.
>>729121876I have one. I got a lot less out of it than I expected. Most of the PS2 and PS3 library was not worth playing.
>>729125469That was nvidia's fuck up to be fair
>>729123380I know you are, OP. You also suck cocks.
>>729121876Most PS2 games worth playing run fine through the PS Classics emulator on the non-launch models And of course all models work with all PSX games by default
PS3's prior to mid 2008 have a defective GPU that will fail.
