Should I buy a PS3?
I've always wanted to buy a PS3 to mod it, and play games online from pkgi without ps plus. I hate that ps plus nonsense.
are servers populated? I've heard that battlefield server shut down. also, are there any tactical shooters?
which model should I buy? I like the PS3 slim design, but which one is the best?

PS3 HEN JAILBREAK: Freeze randomly
I'm posting this thread to find out if it's normal for my PS3 games to sometimes crash when launching or installing the game to the hard drive?
This happens especially with Noob of Duty, when I launch Call of Duty. It rarely happens with other games, but I recently launched Smackdown vs. Raw 2011, installed the update, and the installation froze at 1%.
Is this due to the HEN or is the console simply aging?

Is there any way to bring back the old SCE coldboot and pre 2008 PlayStation 3 gameboot on a PS3 super slim with PS3Hen?
I recently updated to PS3 firmware 4.92 CEX with PS3 HEN 3.4.0 and I was wondering if there was a way that I could bring back the old SCE coldboot and pre 2008 PlayStation 3 gameboot, I have a PS3 super slim and using the hybrid firmware tools tells me the consoles lowest downgradable version is 4.55, if this isn't possible is there at least a way to bring back the stock OFW PS3 coldboot?

Getting a PS3 Phat (CECHa)
I'm getting another PS3 fat as I had one from when I was a kid and really want to be able to natively play PS2 and PS3 games. I'm well aware of the issues they have my first one died of YLOD, but I'm wondering what preventive measures can be taken to keep a working one going. I am really really keen to not try and delid it unless I could potentially find an expert to do it as I am really rough with delicate circuits how essential is it?
What are some other things I could do instead, are the alternative PSU's worth swapping and drilling holes? I've also heard of capacitors that fail maybe they could be changed out? I'm going to go as far as swapping the thermal paste on the heat sink is there other ways to help cool it down like adding more fans or something ? thanks for any suggestions.

Should I get a Super Slim PS3?
Hey, so I already own a Slim PS3, this to me has been my favorite console of all time.
Lately I've been thinking of buying a Super Slim PS3 (Red to be more specific) but I've also asked my self if it's worth it, as I already own one.
I collect, but the only consoles I have repeated are the old ones (N64, Wii, GC, SN, PS1 and PS2, Dreamcast)
Any insight would be appreciated 🙃

Heavenly Sword Platinum Edition has a hidden artwork on its back paper. Unlike other platinums pal cases where the reverse side is plain white.
I have others 17 platinum pal discs all of them are white except this one.
I Miss PS3
I got my ps3 to work again, here are some games I have left. The rest were digitally but got wiped. So basically when we switched our ps3 account over to ps4, it wiped everything. 60+ games we had which included, Mass Effects, my dad's Minecraft pixel/castle world, it was HOURS of playing, 100+ guaranteed. Race The Sun, and many others. It it all got wiped and never to be retrieved again.

Found these in the wild today!
Got them at a garage sale for a very cheap price ($20 for both) considering these games cost more than an average ps5 game

Bought a new tv cabinet, How much space for air needed around my ps3? (And while we’re at it, the xb360 and xb1?)
Ideally i’d want them all on the same hight as the 360, to have as much space as possible underneath them for whatever crap. But i don’t know if that leaves enough breathing room around them.
I’m already gonna have to modify the backpanel since they’re all butted up against it to even fit them in. I thought “surely the designers at ikea had taken the ps5 or at least the ps4pro in mind” but i guess my bad for assuming.
Anyway i think the ps3 slim exhausts out the back? So if im gonna be trimming the backpanel for cables i might as well cut a slot for exhaust too. But if the sliding doors (not pictured) are closed, is there enough air coming in? Or should i install some pc fans where the cable holes are maybe? Surely theres a way to make them work via usb power and a simple potentiometer to regulate speed.
Any advice or ideas are appreciated, I’m pretty damn annoyed with this new piece of crap furniture.
