My PS3 is still alive and well, and I use it everyday! :D

I had a scarred today when I was playing uncharted 3 and it kept freezing. But turns out it was the disc because it kept freezing in the same place. This topics got me all worried.

The Original PS3 is the best, they should never have made another kind, always stayed with that model and kept it backward compatible.

I fucking hate sony.

PS4 will be shit.

that's pretty long. Mine died in 09. JP 60 GB import.

Sony took out the backwards compatibility cause it was costing them a lot of money, plus now they can put old PS2 games on PSN so we have to pay more. Yea it's a dick move, but they're a company, and just like all other companies they want to make money. So, whatever.

I am sad to lose the backwards compatibility, but I can survive without it. I rarely ever used it. Think I'll just buy a new ps2 when I get a job and save up some money.

5 Years and 6ish months is a pretty good run for the most unreliable version of the system, so I'm glad it lasted as long as it did. I'm actually surprised it did. I didn't take care of it at all for 2 years, then 3 years ago I started cleaning it regularly. Also, to the person whom I've made paranoid now, I'm sorry XD. Yours will be fine.

Side note, the place near me doesn't fix YLOD anymore so I'm having my uncle take out the disk that was in mine when it died, and then buying a new one after Anime Expo.

I wouldn't mind if the PSN had a larger library. Can I download Okami? no, Doesn't matter they are release and HD version soon, how long has that taken them to do?

In fact theres a lot of games that not even on the PS3 are available to buy. If they had the full catalog, yes they can do this. This is sony, they can afford the space and work it out. It'f fucking sony. Then yes sure, but right now the PS2 range has what like 60 titles, if that. Most of them shit game I would never play anyway. Thats all well and cool when you have the some 1000 games the ps2 has to it's name, theres a lot of shit. But can I buy chrono cross? Can I buy suikoden? Can I buy the games I want? No, I have to put up with their bullshit releases. Same goes for PS1, but oddly that has a way better library, not all the games I want, but a lot.

They need to fix this. I don't care if it's never backward compatible again, just make the goddamn games available to buy. fucking idiots.

And why can I not buy Games like uncharted and similar. This makes no fucking sense sony. None at all. Fix your shit.

Shitty construction.

Shitty sony.

All of the modern consoles are shitty. They use cheap parts and cheap construction to cut costs.

^Indeed, but people will still buy them. Like me. Went out and bought a slim with plus. T_T My wallet, it hurts.

I don't care what anyone says, the 5000 models of the ps2 were the best versions ever. I have had mine since it was released and it still works to this day perfectly.

I actually have a guy I do computer work that moved away recently that had his PS3 fat die from overheating, if he doesn't get it fixed or just is going to buy a slim I asked if I could have it. I would attempt a repair my self and install those heat sink kits you can get and if that did not work take the BR drive out and try to do something with it

It seems all your doing is complaining bout games not coming out as fast as you want them to. Be thankful that sony has brought out a ton of ps1 classics, that normally retail price would cost a ton of money to buy. Like chrono cross, Final fantasy VII, Parasite eve, etc and at 9.99 a pop. Thats a killer deal. Just look how some of the prices on games have dropped dramatically on the market due to PSN releasing them. For god sakes Okami was just announced like not to long ago and you expect them just to bring that shit out thier lightening fast, sorry bro thats not the way it works. Have patience. Their is a thousand ps2 games, but they can't simply just bring them all out at once. They have to program them so they work on the ps3 first of all which is a process in it self.
