Since the price drop and the release of the Slim seems like Sony is surpassing their own wildest dreams. And what's best games have being flowing in a much faster pace than gamers can keep up.

But something that's really catching many people's attention as I've said is the PS3's own rollercoaster.

The demand is only going to get stronger. what the hell is wrong with Sony?

Bereaver5190d ago

I'm sure Sony isn't stupid enough to release those big bullets without big guns to use them with.

There's going to be a rush, call it a tidal wave.

I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.

you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.

I never even thought of that. If I can ever track down a reasonable true backward compatibility one the first thing I'll do is ssd it up.

Still one of my favorite Playstations next to the Playstations that came before it and after it.

You missed some great games then. Especially the variety. Ps3 lacked compared to before and after.

It had great games but it lacked compared to every other ps system. The variety went out the window. Game budgets got higher that's when developers stopped taking chances. Indies weren't quite going full speed like the ps4 generation. It's my least favorite of all the Playstation. Also jrpgs disappeared like a mf, there were some but sht compared to previous gens.
