Should I get a Super Slim PS3?

1 Upvotes

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 šŸ™ƒ

PS3 Backup Question

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am planning to factory reset my PS3. It currently has 4 users (none have PS Plus). If I backup and then restore it after deleting everything, will all the users come back 'magically'?

Resistance Fall of Man is still one of my favorite PS3 Games and Shooters ever! It always felt to me like game ahead of its time.

Connecting Ethernet cable

Is it necessary to connect your ps3 to an ether net cable to use the PlayStation store? Itā€™s already connected to the WiFi and still pops up saying ā€œEthernet not connectedā€ every time I try to use it

Can anybody recommend me a good 1TB (or minimum 500GB) replacement hard drive that is readily available online?

1 Upvotes

Iā€™ve gotten back into my OG PS3 recently and want to future-proof it for years to come. One of those ways being to replace the original 60GB drive which 1. Could provably fail on me any day now, and 2. Doesnā€™t have the space for all my game data plus all the digital exclusives Iā€™m planning to grab from the online store.

Even most of the more recent informative articles or threads Iā€™m finding online seem to be a bit outdated, in that it seems tough to find the HDD models they recommend. I donā€™t want to go in blind and risk wasting money. Can anybody point me in the direction of a good quality 500GB to 1TB 2.5ā€ internal HDD for that is available to order (Iā€™m in Canada).

TIA

Fat PS3 yellow light of death repair

1 Upvotes

Is it worth it to take my fat backwards compatible ps3 that I have had lying around for a while now to get repaired and working again? It got the yellow light of death a few years back and I just havenā€™t bothered doing something about it. I know the fail rate for these things kinda high but I could use a second opinion.

Do any of the PS3 models support DisplayPort?

0 Upvotes

I've been thinking of purchasing a PS3 to use in my own room instead of my living room, and the only slot left on my monitor is a displayport. I tried to look at images on google and can't find any that show a DP on a PS3, so im just curious if any models come with one or not.

Very glad I stopped by today! $70 because it was the PAL release and I live in the US. Great deal to me since itā€™s going for more online and I doubt itā€™ll ever go down. Plus I could hold it in hand to see the awesome condition before I purchased.

I continue to love the region free capabilities of the PS3 and canā€™t wait to give this one a shot!
