Post: Do you actively still use your PS3?

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It seems like a lifetime ago that the PS3 came out. Obviously this place was built heavily on the back of the console, so it’s no surprise there is so much content here and some that still maintains a decent audience.

How many of you have actually used a PS3 within the last 6 months? I probably haven’t turned one on since 2015.

Just found an old fat cechk model from my parents that are not in use anymore, just jailbroke it with the new methods. I play once ever couple months just to test it out or play some old PS3 games.

Anytime I want to pretend I'm Tom Cruise in Top Gun, I throw on a pair of aviators, don my leather jacket, get some Kenny Loggins playing and turn on my PS3. At this point the fans pretty much sound like the roar of an F-16.

(And yes I've maintained it as dust free as I can. It's just old and has seem some hard use. Like me.)

Use PS3 every year (since 2016). May be with 6-9 moths pauses, but always turn back (didn't have this console at the time of its life cycle) Yes
The console isn't jailbroken, it is already 12 years old or more, so I decided to change the thermal interface, and at the same time write in this topic

It's a once in a while nostalgic moment.Depending on how old you are, i'm 41 years old. So for me, it's nice to play it to get away from the trend. Kind of like a throwback Thursday. Exclusive games like the marvel games and cfw for further nostalgic moments to be able to play ps one and ps two game's smoothly. The games generally run better than emulators on pc. I took mine apart and changed the thermal paste and put different padding and up the fan speed to make it last. It's probably something I won't let go of.
