Loading times don't bother me either given that games like Gramlins on the Spectrum ZX would take 45 mins (if it even did load).

At that time, you could go into any GameStop and buy a dozen games for $100 to keep busy for the next half decade. This generation was the perfect balance between depth/graphics and quantity of games, and there were so many passionate developers that wanted to push the envelope in terms of gaming quality.

As a 90's kid, I couldn't agree more. Games were at their peak, not just in graphics (even though it's dated by now), but there was a lot of creativity in many titles and the games are literally released 100% done on day 1. Nowadays I had to rely on Japanese games to get some variety, while Western games just use the same formula like online shooters or movie-like games that have controversial stuff or too much micro-transactions that made games look like a gambling machines etc.

There is always warping during heating and cooling and the balls in between serves as support to align everything back. The problem was over time, this did not happen causing cracks overtime and thus ylod occurred. The only fix is the Frankenstein method. Swapping the gpu more recent one. This was actually how sony repaired ylod consoles back then unbeknownst to us till recently when it was it was discovered that sony "refurbished" ylod consoles had gou models that did not exist pre ylod time frame.

I would like to say the PS3 is so much more than that. Let's assume you have the PS3 that is bc with PS2. The PS3 plays all of your PS1 discs, all of your PS2 discs. It plays your blu-ray movies in HD. It plays your DVDs at a slightly better quality. It plays your CDs and even rips it to the hard drive so you can listen to it whenever you want and lets you organize it however you want to. And if CDs isn't your thing, stick a flash drive in. You can put your mp3s and mp4s (that was cerrinaly not gotten from the seven seas i'm sure.... wink....) on the hard drive or play it from the flashdrive. You can put whatever how many pictures you want on it. You can use a printer on it and print out thosr pictures even. When the servers were on, you had Life with Playstation. You had free online. Playsration Home to virtually chat with randos. You could use a mouse and keyboard to browse the World Wide Web. You can apply custom themes from the internet with ease (love my MLP themes btw) And if you want to, throw the HDD away and install an SSD for slightly better performance. And if you feel like giving Sony your money, you have PSOne classics, an impressive catalog of PS1, arcadey, 2d, 3d games of the 5th genetation from Mega Man to Crash Bandicoot and all for $5.99 a game. And for a more premium experience at $9.99 a pop, you have PS2 Classics. Less of a catalog than PS1 but still quality over quantity. You had the GTA trilogy, Max Payne, Rayman 3, Persona 3 and 4, Siren, Primal, Bloodrayne and so many more. And for a select few PS2 gsmes, some were remasteted in High Definition in a more prestrine collection of sorts. You also had minis, bite sized games, emulating the PSP in a sense. Speaking of PSP, you not only had connections with the PSP, but with the PS Vita and with select Remote Play too. Oh and you had PS3 games too I guess....

Dude this current generation got consoles is ass. Yeah we’ve gotta a few new games for PS5 but not really anything worth while. And most of the “new” games are just PS4 games clocked up to 60fps 4k. Like Elden Ring. Phenomenal game. But, it was originally designed with PS4, Xbox One in mind. Just got a “next gen” version of it. Demon Souls remake is cool but fuck me that games hard and annoying as fuck a lot of the time. Returnal is whatever as fuck. Death Stranding is just a walking simulator. Death Loop is okay I guess. Ehh? RE4 remake was 10/10 phenomenal so there’s that. But yeah dude just seems this new generation is kinda boring and lack luster. We need more frequent releases like we used to have. I’ve been almost tempted to sell my PS5 because I barely ever play it. But now that I know GTA 6 is coming out next year, that’s the only reason I’m keeping it. And Rise of the Ronin looks fuckin good so I’m gonna definitely play that on launch.

The backwards Ps2 compatible ones were failure prone though. Not the ideal ones to buy for use. Good for collecting. For Ps2, the best way is using emulator on PC now. The upscaling to HD is sooooo much nicer! If you have a jailbroken Ps4 you can play some, the same way there too. That's where I like to play them, if compatible, but on pc is still great too. They don't look so good anymore in og format haha...... oh I guess the backwards compatible PS3 do upscale the PS2 games too, but I'd save it, if it still works, for a collectable since there's easier ways of playing PS2 games in HD now.

Me to same time as well, sometime around 2011. I got it on sale and the store gave me a copy of MW2 with it for free. My first larger investment as a younger kid I was in 7th grade It still gets played and is at home by my tv. I’m not gonna buy a PS5 and the ps4 has been in the closet for at least 3 years now The PS3 is just different to me… one of those things you can’t explain but its special in a very unique way to me

I’m on my 6th ps3 console (a backwards compatible version 😍). It’s the best console to the point where I have just bought the move controllers for it this week just to enjoy some of the games I’ve still not played! Totally agree with you. Best still I use my ps4 controllers on it so it is a perfect match as prefer them to the ps3 controllers. Throw in a 3d tv for stereoscopic 3d visuals and it’s the best. Explains why so many games are being ‘remastered’ now for the newer consoles as well

Hell yeah! Been gaming since a kid in the early 1980's. And I personally feel that the 7th gen is the best gen of gaming. The 360, PS3 and Wii were (still are) all three great systems. I bought all three when they all first came out. And, still have them all. Play them as much or even more than my Switch and Series X. Well..I do play OG Xbox and 360 games on the Series X too. But yeah, 7th gen was the best! So much to offer to gamers. Consumer friendly, quakity built controllers, graphics and gameplay took a massive jump forward. Games were usually complete and running good day one. No need to install the games. No constant updates. Could olay games solo, co-op, system link, online etc...Great exclusives on all three systems. Plus many great multiplatform games too! Also feel same about Netflix. Always been a physical over digital kinda guy. Games, movies and music...physical over digital whenever possible. Have tons of games and movies in the collection at my house.

About a couple of years ago when we had the scare of the PS3 store closing my gut told me to get a newer model that holds more games and such.. Sure enough not too long ago my original ps3's drive died or is on its last leg completely out of the blue. Then several months ago my Vita died.. Wow.. Nevertheless I still think the ps3 is the most well balanced system.. I never unhooked my ps2 but going back to it feels a little dated.. PS3 doesn't

It’s not hard to understand - I own three fully backwards compatible PS3s, and 8 in total. It’s an absolute beast aesthetically and technically. ☝🏻 I was blown away with the ‘life-like’ graphics the first time I played killzone 2, GTA IV, MGS 4, and Madden on my PS3.

I sat down during lockdown and played through pretty much all of the exclusives on PS3 and I generally didn't really get most of them. I thought Infamous, Motorstorm, GoW3 and Resistance were all great and I replayed Uncharted 2, 3 and tlou for the first time since high school and there really wasn't much to them if I'm being honest. They're cool games to show what the hardware was capable of but I don't really care to ever replay them again. Same went for MGS4 which is pretty much a walking sim after Act 2. Gran Turismo 5 and 6 were pretty mediocre compared to 4 and the Forza games. A lot of the platformers that started on the PS2 were either outsourced like Sly 4 and Jak and Daxter or not really the main priority like the Ratchet and Clank games and as a result just weren't very good. I never got used to the controller throughout my sessions and I'm someone that thinks the PS2 controller is pretty much perfect. Also Six Axis blows. When it comes to third party games it's pretty much a joke with how inferior they were to other versions. Like 99% of games were subHD, had poor framerates and no anti aliasing. You showing GTA IV was pretty cathartic to me since that game ticked all the boxes and had that blur filter on top that a lot of PS3 games had for some reason. I don't think the PS3 really squares up compared to the 360 which pretty much defined what modern gaming is and on top of that I think the exclusives are better primarily because they felt more like they were designed with gameplay first and cinematics second while it was the other way around on PS3 and that just doesn't appeal to me as much. My favorite exclusives on PS3 aren't by Naughty Dog, Quantic Dream or Konami that's for sure.

PS3 is a great system! So you're not still playing the Ps3 like some of us are, you're playing one again. Some of us didn't take a decade off lol. Don't forget that ALL PS3's are backward compatible with PS1 games. A lot of people forget this. Not, that most of those games held up very well, but I mean, you can pop a PS1 disc into any of 'em and play those too, so. Of course if you jailbreak one you'll have a nice retro emulator machine too. Mines been jailbroken for over a decade. One of my favorites. I've played it more than I have the PS4 by far. I was an 80's kid who started on the Atari 2600 followed by the NES (PS2 got me back into gaming, once games grew up), so the PS3 still looks AMAZING to me, even though I can see the PS4 (don't have a Ps5 yet. I'm staying a generation behind on purpose now.) clearly look even better. The PS4 is the better system of course, but the game library on the PS3 is just amazing... but it's getting to on the PS4 too, so. I do need to catch up a bit on the PS4 but I love the PS3. I don't see any reason why anyone should stop playing PS3. It's so good that if this is where gaming stopped, I'd be more than ok with it. I guess that's why I'm in no hurry to keep up anymore. So many more games to explore on bith systems. I'd be another decade just finding gems to play and replay a few of the greats.... Darksiders & Dead space anyone? Hidden gem tip for those who like the GTA games: Mafia 2 Yeah, thank me latter! :)
