    Did you know that you can't copy PS5 game saves to a USB drive? People just gave up their ownership of their saves to Sorny. PS3 was basically the last console you could do what you wanted. PS4 stole online and locked it behind PS+, then PS5 stole even your save games.

      Even then you could see inklings of the decline. Certain save files are "locked" to profile of the person who made the save and you can't transfer them via USB. While it only applies to a small amount of games (mainly Souls games), it was still there.

      Actually, I just checked and while it is mainly From Software titles (Souls and Armored Core) some other devs implemented it too. While you could get around it on a jailbroken system and using Apollo Tools, people on an unmodded console are fricked over for no reason.

    One thing I love about the PS3 is that PS4 controllers are able to work on it as well. Either plug it in via the charging cable or setup bluetooth. It isn't perfect as you'll still need a PS3 controller to enter the XMB while in game but it's better than the PS4 not allowing you to use PS5 controllers at all.

    But own a physical collection of exclusives.

    For xbox360 owners beware that once the shutdown actually happens (and nu-snoy will surely follow with ps3 if xcucks don't retaliate against that decision) then if you don't buy some exclusives now expect a permanent price rise especially on rpg/tranime obscure stuff and horrors BUT DO NOT PANIC BUY, the prices usually go lower in 6-12 months, also look out for "lots" on ebay because clueless people might give away their collection without knowing it's real worth.
    Always check "compeleted" deals on ebay to see for how much the games go and how many are sold, it's really a demand and supply question, so some games with limited disc print will have a massive price spike.

        No anon, that's not it. What it is is that supporting all that legacy stuff and assuring it all worked would cost a lot. They'd need to have an emulator that can run every PS1-2 game and probably a whole 1:1 copy of the PS3 hardware in there with the PS5 hardware and just no one would pay the price they'd have to ask. If they had from the start not made their architectures weird and shit for PS2 and 3, then it might have been possible. But Krazy Ken just had to have his emotion engine and THE POWER OF THE CELL. If the cell had worked, then it also might have been possible as they had good BC for PS1-2 in PS3 for awhile until they axed it to cut costs since PS3 was losing gen 7.

          people would expect PS1 games for like $5~$10. The low volume, logistics, shipping, and handling would make it unprofitable. furthermore, they probably aren't at liberty to launch printing runs of old media unilaterally.

    hacked my ps3 maybe seven months ago, and it's probably the best experience I've had with a hacked console, at least in terms of how streamlined it is, with the online still functional, every game updates automatically, can download patches or non-official hacks on the console itself, so on
    finished valkyria chronicles, tales of xillia 1 and 2, tales of graces f, and a bunch of little games no one cares about
    gonna check out this janky white knight chronicles game, the ps3's library is a lot more expansive than I remember it being back when the console was alive and kicking

          I remember not having internet in the house for a while as a teen, buying WKC2 during that, and finding out that the online was shut down literally a fricking WEEK after I bought it.

          Its fricked up because it was just NA servers that did that at the time. Japanese GeoNet was still booming and even had extra stories. What double blows about this is that the quest are designed around the fact that you should have a kill squad of other human players.

      Here is what you do.
      A PC allows you to play all the Xbox games and functionally endless other exclusive games. Plus all the other bonuses of the Master Race.
      A PS5, if you want a console game to sit and play on the couch with a big ass TV and nice sound system. There are exclusives but slowly but surely they are coming to PC as well.
      Switch if you like Nintendo first party games or the few exclusives they get.

    The three main things I hated about the PS3, that Sony didn't have the foresight for:

    > OS not displaying labels before the accompanying icon loads (makes crawling through a large save/music/photo list tedious)
    > Hamfisting the 'ingame' OS in the 2.0 update, which was the slowest fricking thing on the planet. Should have just added friend-list/messagerr functionality to the text-only one it already had
    >Console requires a hard reset if the game crashes

    Actually, a fourth thing
    > The HTML-based store - They had the fricking perfect store already and replaced it with a slower, crashier one with less sorting/search options

    • 4 months ago

      the HTML based store was literally pushed out to move people to ps4.
      That's the whole reason. We saw this stated explicitly and plainly in multiple investor reports around the ps4 launch.

        Anonymous

        The thing is I *still* didn't use that store on the PS4. I used the webstore for the majority of the PS4's lifespan until they fricked that over too with the basic-as-frick one that was missing a ton of features.

        A shame they still use it to this day, and apparently the PS5 store is identical to PS4s, complete with assuming you have fast internet so it can load giant PNG banners and embedded videos on every page, when I just want to see some fricking description info, download size (which still doesn't show on half of the games), or simply FINDING a fricking game in the first place due to shit filtering options.

        Their storefront and consumer practices is what pushed me off to sticking with PC/Steam this generation. At least i can find what I want there, along with consume friendly refunding options (refunding with Sony is like pulling teeth out, I've done it twice with them for reasons both their fault).

          I'm not saying it was better but they put it out knowing it was about 40% slower (if not more in many cases) to push people to ps4.

    are PS3 games still playable online? I used to play Demons Souls and DaS1-2 on PS3 back in the day until my modded PS3 got banned on PSN. Several years ago though, I got another PS3 for five bucks at a flea market, but by that point I had never even bothered trying to go online with it. Would be nice to play Demons Souls online again though.

    I feel like 360/PS3 benefit more from HLE than previous generations. That generation has the most to benefit from forcing decent anti-aliasing and texture filtering/LoD draws than anything prior, due to their inability to properly maintain 30fps with the push to 720p, with texture/shader detail that often was rarely fully resolved due to the resolution/bloom/etc abused at the time.

          The list can be outdated and I made it for myself a while ago if I wanted to play any of those game in the future but I usually don't play online, and as far as I'm aware of ac4 was not taken down yet. Maybe try with another ubi game to see if the issue persists?
          Also try reinstalling the game or logging out and in if you managed to connect on some games, also mind that the servers can just stop working and it's surprising they even made it available again, like what are they cooking fr.
          Also I wil say that if you really want to find people that get together to play a game or two on weekends then your best bet is asking in the trooncord for that game. I'm not in any so won't provide links.
          Also a reminder that this is the fate of all always online garbage out there and some single player games require you to be always online.

    Speaking of hacks the PS3 is super easy to crack with just a USB dongle. Use it to emulate those wacky Japanese games you would never put money towards. It can also act as a PS1 and PS2 emulation station but those systems are easy to emulate on anything so less people might be interested in it

    I still use mine as my dedicated bluray player, I disconnected it from the internet cause I don't want Sony to brick it with an update.

    Not sure if any anons in this thread can help me, but I've been wanting to swap the CMOS battery out and to reapply some thermal paste on my softmodded PS3. Will swapping out the battery frick me over and wipe everything on my hard drive?

    I have been compulsively buying PS3s for the past two years because I'm scared of my main one breaking.

      What do you have on the PS3 that means so much to you? I like Resistance 3, Ridge Racer 7, and Time Crisis Razing Storm quite a bit but I don't know if it's worth still keeping the console around for them.
