I always plug my PS3 like that, is that can damage my PS3 ?

Ps3 slim blu ray bozulduğu için 2. El sağlam bir blu ray buldum. Değişim benim sandığım gibi tak çalıştır şeklinde değilmiş. Eşleşme gibi bir şey yapmak gerekiyormuş. Bunu başarabilir miyim bilmiyorum. Bilen yardımcı olabilir mi ?
(Cihazı kıracağım galiba birkaç ayar da öyle geliyor? )

My fan speed hits 75% at 55c and i am sick of it’s noise, i’m thinking of de-liding it protect the sensitive parts with resin or epoxy and wilding a copper plate to the original heat sink is it possible this way ? I am serious 🧐

My post was removed even though I never violated any rule and the theme I had WAS OFFICIALLY LICENSED BY SONY on the PS3 store. Or is it only things you like? Thanks let me know, because if so, then this subreddit isn’t about the PS3 in it's entirety but rather what you think the PS3 is.

Anyway, let me know, thanks!

In my case it ended well but it that was by chance.

So I bought (yet) another PS3 (I intend to gift this one to a friend). I know I (or they) would want to mod it eventually, and if I'm buying a PS3 with that in mind, it would probably be a good idea to get a model that supports full CFW.

I found a posting on FB Marketplace of a PS3 slim, and the seller took photos of the console from all directions, including the bottom, and they were very high-res, allowing me to discern not just the model number (CECH-2504A) but the date code as well (1A). Other than 21xx (which for some reason I find difficult to come by recently), the 25xx is probably the best model to mod, with the only asterisk that it must have been manufactured before April 2011 to support CFW. Date code 1A means Jan-Mar 2011 so they are all CFW compatible.

Anyway, when I actually got the console, the date code was actually 0C. Turns out the seller had a stock of PS3s he was selling, and while he did know that people might be interested in the model number (which is why he took a photo of the bottom), he was not very knowledgeable about modding and did not know that the date code matters for 25xx, so he created a single listing for all of the 25xx consoles he had.

In my case it wasn't bad - 0C consoles are also all CFW compatible and can actually be downgraded further than 1A (all the way back to 3.40; the 1A are either 3.50 or 3.56), but it could've also been a non-compatible 1B - again, the seller was not aware of the difference.

And this was a seller that at least knew that the model mattered - other people on FB Marketplace or eBay might not know that it does. They just know that it's a fat / slim / super-slim. You might see a photo of a reliable CECHK and get an unreliable CECHH, or see a photo of a CFW compatible 21xx but get an incompatible 30xx.

Lesson of the story - If the listing does not explicitly mention the model and date code, don't trust the photo, don't be lazy. Contact the seller and verify exactly what you're getting.

Cheers.

I just got my first ps3 and its a fat and its been only setting on the menu. Now I've heard stuff about the fat version being loud but is this normal?

I’ve had this for years. It’s been in a box and I just found it today. I think it’s real because of the Metallic Blue Logo

Everything looks centered and correct.

I have 2 copies the first one the japanese version doesnt have english subs/dub so i didnt push through playing it so I had to look for an english r3 copy

the japanese version has a cool back cover too!! so I'll still keep it

I dont have a ps3 yet, but i already looking out for ps3 games im interested in. Sadly games also being delisted from ps3 eshop but there are enough ps3 games in existence. Will get Dantes Inferno and Lego lord of the rings some day

Hi guys, I bought a ps3 last year so I could play the final fantasy xiii trilogy. I’ve really been enjoying it! I also am interested in getting saints row 2. Are there any games exclusive to the ps3 that are must plays? I mostly play jrpgs, but also enjoy sandbox games like saints row.
