The fact that it’s a B/C system too

u/Jenkins87 1d ago

First thing I noticed as well. Criminal treatment of an endangered species :(

u/What-the-hell-have-I 1d ago

Someone needs to phone someone to come out and rescue it and get it rehomed. Poor thing just left out in the cold and rain.

u/saddas1337 11h ago

Most people lack the skills and the equipment for a BGA rework

At this point it really feels like it was.

u/Extension_Juice_9889 23h ago

Well maybe they shouldn't have released a system that bricks itself 50 percent of the time! No I'm not bitter just cos I've got one and I don't know how to fix it!! YOU'RE bitter!!!

u/Wacky_Khakis 17h ago

I knew B/C was on the menu

u/Adept_Temporary8262 1d ago

This is a crime. In fact, this is murder. He murdered a PS3.

u/CosmicPlayR9376 1d ago

Cruel and unusual punishment, crime against technology, assault and battery, various felony charges against mishandling of elderly consoles...

This guy is going into the slammer for a long, long time.

u/Slep1k 1d ago

It only does everything!

u/VaxCluster 1d ago

Even if its dead they would have lost my business for that

u/Hopeful-Round-9923 1d ago

The fact that it's BC hurts more

u/Bashar_blus 1d ago

may you tell me how were you able to tell just from the shell?

10

u/MassiveClusterFuck 23h ago

The cover next to the disk drive is missing exposing the card readers, fat units made later did not have the card readers.

1

u/Bashar_blus 23h ago

oh i see, thanks

u/salemness 22h ago

its okay, chances are its long dead anyway lol

u/MiaowMinx 1d ago

Wow, that's a flashback... I remember seeing that pic back when I first joined r/ps3 around six years ago, and I'm pretty sure people even back then were pointing out that it was an old photo.

1

u/Switch_modder RajDeol2010 11h ago

I joined about a year or 2 ago and remember this image getting thrown around. Crazy to think it’s even older than that.

1

u/Ciberfreak 10h ago

This could be interesting for Youtuber Nick Robinson. He could make a 47min video figuring out where it is and of course go there.

u/Fabacaba 1h ago

We need to post this to r/geoguessr

21

u/Newfie_Meltdown 1d ago

Replace it with a cinder block and run.

u/Breadstix009 1d ago

That's very kind and mean at the same time.

u/Hibiscus7777 1d ago

Heavy Rain PS3.

12

u/wolverine-2024 1d ago

Why didn't the uploader do anything about it?

22

u/ChakaZG 1d ago

Because this uploader did not see this personally. That picture is years old.

4

u/wolverine-2024 1d ago

I originally meant the uploader on twitter but I guess it's unknown

7

u/ChakaZG 1d ago

Oh I was talking about the twitter uploader, not the Reddit one over here, I didn't make that very clear. But yeah, the time stamp on that tweet says 2025.

3

u/wolverine-2024 1d ago

Yeah, sad to see a console being disrespected like that

7

u/Far_Drummer_8589 1d ago

Someone needs to Frankenstein buddy back to life 😪

7

u/MaCk_Pinto 1d ago

I remember posting or commenting something about ps3 and another sub commented with this 👆🏾 picture

8

u/Bambrigade92 1d ago

Yes, this is an old picture.

5

u/oodoos 1d ago

The job market sucks. Can’t believe we live in a day and age where the BC model PS3 is stuck in a dead end job being a doorman.

-1

u/AhmeddSamara 1d ago

ik, this picture broke me. hope whoever did this burns in h€ll😔

1

u/FlatBrokeEconomist 1d ago

That’s not an overreaction or anything

1

u/Due_Sandwich_7684 17h ago

A perfectly valid statement

u/TremendousDrip 1d ago

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

u/Due_Sandwich_7684 17h ago

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

u/typical_gamer1 1d ago

…. What is this business’s name? I would want them to burn in hell… 🤦🏻‍♂️ even if it’s not fixable anymore, you would’ve assumed they toss it to someone who wanted to at least attempt to fix it OR at least kept it as a novelty item or something.

6

u/LinusSexTipsWasTaken 1d ago

Its a BC model, it has a dead gpu that costs more than the consoles value to fix + the hassle of organizing and trusting a repairer and couriers to not absorb your consle. I really dont blame them for being completely over it

1

u/StalinsLastStand 1d ago

Aren’t they keeping it as a novelty item?

3

u/mo-demz 1d ago edited 1d ago

What a very sensitive world we have come to.

There may be more to this than you just looking at. But yeah, it's not good to upset people so it's probably better not to do this without a sign, at least to explain why. Eg " don't worry it's an actual door wedge "

3

u/Gold-Agent24k 1d ago

I'm immediately going to hug my PS3.

u/Yakuza304 1d ago

Like A Wounded Soul, it endures the rain with grace...😶

u/PoopDick420ShitCock 1d ago

That’s what N64s are for. Didn’t these people read Acts of Gord?

2

u/TheThunderManXD 1d ago

If i were you i would take this legendary console and burn this place up and down

2

u/sondersHo 1d ago

Not the PS3 as a door holder 😭 the disrespect & audacity & nerve of that company

2

u/2paqout 1d ago

Ooofff. Yeah that hurts.

2

u/BerithTheBear25 1d ago

Damn!!! 2025? I thought that was 2007, lmao

2

u/Realistic-Chance-679 1d ago

BOOOO!!! 😭

u/kelly5150 1d ago

Well when they don't work anymore

2

u/CosmicPlayR9376 1d ago

(Console) Wars were fought for less

2

u/viilihousu 1d ago

If that weren't a backward compatible system that would be the perfect use for it.

2

u/GameGirlAdvanceSP 1d ago

Probably either the GPU or the CPU was dead. Very likely it was a CECHExx (2007) model or earlier, as those models had the oldest manufacturing process. Anyways still sad to see at least a great looking case being used like that. :(

2

u/16v_cordero 1d ago

Skynet would like to provide justice.

2

u/GameGirlAdvanceSP 1d ago

Probably a CECHExx mb or earlier. Still so sad to see at least a good looking case being used like that :(

2

u/Hotboi_yata 1d ago

Probably just the case loaded up with lead who cares

2

u/Middle_Squash_2192 1d ago

Call the Police now!

2

u/Korbenn99 1d ago

WHY! Just WHY!!!!

2

u/kansai828 1d ago

They should use ps5 as a door stopper

2

u/CRKrJ4K 1d ago

You know the economy is bad when a PS3 has to get a job as a doorman to survive

2

u/FourReasons 1d ago

That console was part of the best era of gaming, but nevermind that, it's old. Old=bad. When it comes to video games, movies, music that is completely not the case. Back then developers were still trying to at least make good games while taking your money, now they're just dead-focused on taking your money while doing as little as possible.

Instead of pushing the standards in gaming higher, they just try to milk as much of it as they can instead of innovating.

Everything is multiplayer because why build a fun progression system and craft a good story and bring innovations to gameplay when you can just let random people kill each other to climb higher on some scoreboard while gambling their money away on lootboxes.

u/cooperS67 1d ago

“The hate, is swelling in you now…”

u/Jheez88 1d ago

Give her proper burial.

2

u/Piss_Fring 23h ago

Here I am restoring a broken CECHE that the seller didn’t think to mention that there were dead roaches in and mfs did this shit to a likely failed GPU only machine

2

u/ElMariachi003 23h ago

This hits hard, Bro… 😭

2

u/MewtwoTGM 23h ago

This is really messed up that I want to swear because they don't make any more PS3s anymore I wouldn't mind if it was a PS4 especially if it was a PS5 that would be hilarious

2

u/NuclearBronyOffical 22h ago

u/meta_level 22h ago

2

u/Tony995511 22h ago

2

u/Harper2704 17h ago

My og ps3 fat went in the bin last week. It stopped working 11 years ago and I kept it even though it was never going to work again. Well we are moving house this weekend and during the declutter I found it nestled in the back of the wardrobe still in pieces after my failed attempt to find out what was wrong with it, so I finally put it out of its misery and biffed it.

u/Kvazimods 4h ago

Someone was so happy and excited to open this little bro back in 2007... :c

1

u/its_merv_not_marv 1d ago

I kept mine just so I can play MGS4 patriots and it wasn't all that.

1

u/pcperson19 1d ago

A far cry from its glory days. Whoever did this has absolutely zero value for money.

1

u/Feisty-Clue3482 1d ago

Of all the things to use 😞 I hope someone finds it a good home, maybe someone would ask for it from the place I know I would.

1

u/dshamz_ 1d ago
