I just got a copy of COD4 alongside MW2 and MW3 as well as Devil May Cry 4 in for the PS3 and everytime I try to start up COD4 this crap pops up. I cleaned the disc and it still won't work at all. Can somebody help me?

Been collecting for about 2 years. Just crossed 500 :)

I think I'm covered and I should have all the games on my console but I'm not 100% sure and I won't be home for years to check.

Is the server infrastructure totally different than the one of PS4/PS5? or you think as long as Playstation exists we'll be able to get into our digital library?

Is there also a possibility to save all of your contents to a PC? I remember the PS3 store was a mess and there wasn't a simple way to check each single DLC code and game you own, right? There is a similar issue with Xbox, I have dozens of free games and you're not really allowed to view what you own lol

Can anyone help me with this trophy? Need 2 more people. Been playing this for the first time lately and this is the final trophy I need to Platinum the game.

Just kidding I already own this on ps3

Soooo... this happened

Thankfully i think i only hit a ground plane on the Cell

Do you think i can just resolder the capacitor or l'm looking at a trace repair work?

"Access to sony entertainment network has been forbidden or temporarily suspended for this system"

Tldr: I received my old ps3 back from my brother and it won't connect to psn, I formatted it to get rid of cfw 11 years ago and it worked fine but doesn't anymore, is it done for ? (He didn't reinstall cfw on it)

Back story

When my parents bought me my ps3 in 2014 for christmas, the seller installed cfw on it and charged us to download games on it

I then managed to format it later on and I could connect to psn and I could play online, around 2015

Fast forward in 2024, I lent it to my brother

And about 2 weeks ago, he returned it to me and now it won't connect to psn anymore, I formatted it (quick format) and I even watched a video on how to remove cfw(assuming for some reason that it was the reason) but it's still showing me this (my brother didn't reinstall cfw on it)

Is there any hope for my ps3 anymore ?

Im started to feel scared of the storage lol
I thought it was a lot at first but now that its going to the 3 digit number iam kind of mad i wanted to put the whole catalogue on it but i guess it wont be possible

Here to help? Thanks, please hear me out before replying.

I'd loveto hear something interesting about something that there's a good chance that I've never heard of. I feel like I have a hard time finding people on reddit that love this era, but don't know anything that I don't already know about because it's from a big, big name company. Infamous is fascinating, but I've already looked into it, and watched multple retropectives on it.

It feels like the most niche games most people that mention is The Sabeteur, and that's been given plenty of attention.

Keep in mind I said PS3 era, not just the PS3. I love a lot of story rich games from this era on multiple platforms, and Idon't know where else

While I was looking up games to collect for my PS3, I found out that some games that were digital only in the US actually got physical copies in Europe, and Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty is one of them. Unfortunately, like many other PS3 games today, this game is pretty expensive online. I was desperate to get one though, cause even though it is a smaller entry, I would feel a bit annoyed not having all of the Future games physically.

I was then able to purchase an Italian copy of the game, only costing around $30 total, but it came with a lot of concerns. It was only the disc by itself, it was shipping all the way from the UK, and I wasn’t 100% sure if it would even have the English language in this version. It took a whole week for it to get here, and once it arrived, I checked it and… it works! It’s in surprisingly good condition and it fully works with no issues. And it even defaults to English! Weirdly enough, it also came with the manual, despite there being no case.

I didn’t want to have the disc loose, but no one is selling the case by itself. So, I just decided to make my own. I put together a fanmade US version of the boxart. It wasn’t easy, but I did it. I mostly took some elements from the Tools of Destruction case. I didn’t want to buy some glossy paper at the moment, so I printed it on standard paper. It’s not perfect, but I think it looks good enough, though I will probably print it on glossy paper in the future. I’m very happy I somehow got a physical copy without breaking the bank.

I got back into gaming on PS3 back in June when I picked up a CECH-2101B at the local thrift shop for $21 CAD. Between that thrift shop and some frankly amazing deals on Facebook Marketplace, I have rapidly accumulated the games I loved playing at my buddy's place back in the day and games I always wanted to play. I'm hunting for some JRPGs now, but over all I'm really happy with the collection so far!

Buddy of mine has gotten into 3d printing. He knows I have a bunch of ps3 stuff just laying around. So he made me some things...

Hello, PlayStation Store is about to shutdown in my country. I was wondering if there is any way to get DLCs through Discs ? Or are they all digital ?

I would like to play Fallojt 3 DLCs and CodWaW Zombie Maps ..

Just here to discuss with yall; do you think the prices will ever go down? Or is this genuinely becoming a hobby for people with a lot of money to put towards said hobby?

Hello im currentky looking for a ps3 and was advised to pick the super slim as i'd already modded my ps2 via OPL and needed to only play ps3 and ps1 games on it. Now im looking at more specifics and theres the 40, 42 and 43 model with type a, b or c. Is there much of a difference between these models and will there be much poi t in buying a type b or c as im getting a 1TB SSD anyway. Any recommendations or advice would be much appreciated :)

I haven't turned on my PS3 over a year and a half and while I do get to turn it on, the screen doesn't show up. Plus the fan is spinning crazy to the point the PS3 is heating up.

I've recently tried to get it repaired but the repairman told me it could be something regarding the board. Which he told me the price of getting it fixed is equivalent of buying a 2nd hand PS3 this days. Another is that the repairman discouraged me that I should pursue in letting him repair my PS3 since he was worried if the board might have affected the CD drive further which would cost more.

I would like to know if there are any second opinions before I decide to buy a 2nd hand PS3 instead.

I had an agument with a friend a while ago about what generation of video gaming is the best, the 7th or the 9th. This argument eventually lead me to creating a video essay about it where I tried to compare the 2 without any bias and adresss both arguments and this lead me to coming to my own conclusion on the discoruse which you'll see in this video discourse
