Yeah, I’ve had that one for almost 9 years now. Not one single issue and I still use it frequently.

"Where people would put different things inside of it, mostly kids..."

I initially pictured parents pushing the sliding door aside and sitting their baby on top of the disc reader, but I'm assuming that's not what was meant...

I think it's important to mention that PS3 installs work way differently from PS4/5 installs in that you don't have to copy the whole disk over. Iirc, most games required only a couple hundred megabytes or so, so having only 12 gigabytes of storage wasn't a bad deal if you mostly played disk-based games

Hardware exists.
Spawn Wave: Let me tear it down.

oh hey, its the ps3 model i own and i actually really love it. Idk, i just really like sliding the disc tray, feels pretty satisfying

I remember getting the super slim 500gb for christmas one year when they went on sale. My 60gb shit the bed and getting this one was so much better. Still have it, and got a new 60gb for Ps2 and Ps1

The first PS3 slim is a masterpiece. My favorite console of that generation from an hardware aesthetic and usability standpoint. Those nice round physical buttons feel so nice to press and it looks really nice to boot. It's not a giant fingerprint magnet like the original.

That’s super slim is incredibly reliable. I own two of them and have never had an issue.

Sometimes less is more.

This PS3 is a nice example of simple and effective. Back in the day I just changed it's HDD for another one with more memory and it still works perfectly today.

I bought that exact PlayStation 3 model at a GameStop in my area some time back in September 2015, and I've used it regularly ever since with no issues. It's honestly the best PS3 I ever had and I've had a lot of memories with that thing.

What a beautiful system

[jonathansmith]

That system is grungier than Seattle 's music scene in the mid 90's.

I remember changing the hdd on my fat PS3. The screws holding it in the caddy were the softest screws I've ever seen. They completely stripped almost immediately, without me even using that much pressure. I had to get a pair of wire cutters to put indents into the side of the heads and rotate them that way. $600 for the console and Sony uses the cheapest screws in the universe.

I love how comforting these tear down vids are, it proper suits the weekend! Cheers Spawn!

The ps3 the System that had 3 different designs that all looked wildly different.

[NoSpamForYou]

Put an SSD in your PS3. Digital Foundry and others have shown that it stabilizes frame rates and reduces or eliminates visible texture swapping

[TheCHRILLCAST]

Nah, I’ve seen weirder…

Anyone remember the silver PS3 with the boomerang controller from the PS3 reveal?

Spawn wave: weirdest ps3 Sony ever released.

George forman: and I took that personally.

[cloudyskiesnow]

My favorite is the PS3 slim. Sony's final revisions always feel cheap and weird. It's happened with most consoles and their handhelds, too. They get lighter, incorporate more plastic, and are less mechanical.

[nsgames]

I bought one, early this year and I'm still enjoying it. It's actually my personal favorite version of the PS3.

[radekseky]

Got this one right when they released. I was hoping for a PS3 for years at this point and there I was, in a mall with my mom, seeing a brand new model with whooping 500gbs that I've never seen before. My mom bought it for me right then and there. I cried my eyes out on the spot for what felt like good 30 minutes. Took it home, and that very day downloaded the Uncharted Drake's Fortune demo as that was the franchise I was getting the console for.
9 years later, that franchise changed my life, and I still play my PS3 to this day. Recently finished Red Dead Redemption and now going through all the MGS games. Good purchase.
