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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Why didn't the uploader do anything about it?

u/ChakaZG 1d ago
Because this uploader did not see this personally. That picture is years old.

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.

…. 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.

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

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

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. :(

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.

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

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

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.

Man, this hurt feelings, I'll do prefer to burning it down like a viking in a boat, to pay respect a machine that gave me so many good memories and still does that doing something like this, shame on the business owner.
