- I love the 7th gen, and have been collecting for the PS3 for a while, but not all PS3 consoles are created equally.
Here’s my little buying guide for the PlayStation 3.
Many many more videos here @BigJimGaming.

good video, I had a 360 during the 7th gen era, but I do have a weird sense of nostalgia for the PS3. I did buy one around 2015 for dirt cheap aswell as a ton of games. great system, meh controller, and will forever be envious of the free multiplayer. almost ever had xbox gold, i basically missed out on the peak mp console gaming era.
I had a 360 when it was the current gen too, I sold it off really cheap with about 50 games when I got my PS4 (before I started collecting) I still regret that. I got the PS3 when I started collecting because I didn’t have one but I’m going to add a 360 as well as there’s some great games it had that aren’t on PS3 😀👍🏻
I had my 60 GB fat model for 14 years and truly loved it. Had it reballed, and new thermal paste applied probably 4 times by a specialist. Ultimately it just wasn’t worth the hassle anymore. Broke my heart scrapping it for junk. PS2 + later model PS3 is definitely the way to go.
I admire your commitment getting your original model fixed as often as you did, it shows the fat models can be kept going with consistent maintenance, although yes I think we both agree that a later model and separate PS2 is a lot easier in the long term 😀👍🏻
The later generations of fat ps3 use a 65nm gpu that is much more reliable. I used to repair these things and I never saw anything CECHL01 or later get the YLOD.
That’s interesting I thought all the fat PS3 consoles had the overheating problems, thank you for the tip, really appreciate it 😀👍🏻
These days I have been playing more on my ps3 super slimrather than my Xbox series s or ps5 due do I have a large collection of games I have been playing and I had mine since lunch also I have the super slim version where you have 464 gb(note the ps3 super slim with more storage have an hdmi cord in the back of it and the one without the hdmi cord behind it have 20gb or 30gb)
I’ve always got at least a couple of games on the go on my PS3, the library of games is so vast I doubt I’ll ever run out of games to play 😀 I appreciate the information about the hdmi cord on the super slims with the larger storage, I didn’t know that, it’s a good tip to know 😀👍🏻
I think the Super Slim gets a bad rap. I've had a Slim and a Super and the Super is much more quiet and very reliable (apart from not being able to update it but that's Sony falling down). Maybe because I have the white one I think it looks right nice sitting next to my silver PS2 slim. I like the manual disc loading tray. It's one less part that will eventually break!
I completely agree, as I said in the video my super slim is spot on, definitely an improvement over the phat model I had before. The smaller memory doesn’t bother me as I only play physical games and very few install, if they do there’s enough room and 12gb is plenty for game saves 😀👍🏻
@@BigJimGaming. plus dropping a bigger HD into it is easy as pie! I'm a tech idiot and if I can do it, anyone can.
@@stashmerkin9576 I was planning on doing that with mine when I got it but I never got round to it, I do have another super slim I got for £5 with a dodgy laser that I’m going to fix soon so I have a spare, it looks easy enough to replace, I will probably make a video out of me doing it depending how well it goes 🤣
I have the regular slim and thats the one I prefer most. Super slim is too ugly and the fat is too unreliable. Regular slim is the perfect ps3 for me
The slim is probably the best one to get as it does come with a larger memory (unless you get one of the quite expensive 500GB super slims) I intended to get a slim for myself, I only got the super slim because I got it for £25 from Facebook market and couldn’t resist the bargain, and in fairness it serves me well I have no complaints 😀👍🏻
Super slim is ugly?! It looks way better than the slim.
