I’ve mentioned this a million times. The Super Slim HAS AN EJECT BUTTON. It breaks because people keep sliding it with their hands

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

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

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

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

It drives me mad that people don't use the open button on these.... 😂

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.

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.

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

@speedwaynutt 5 years ago

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

Currently watching this on my PS3 Hen Super Slim.

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.

There’s a product used for removing scratches from old-school acrylic watch crystals called Polywatch. It will take the scratches out of those gloss bits in a snap.
