I also use it for PS1 emulation; not the ideal choice if you’re going for a perfect non-compressed picture, but it works for me. Since my X360 CD drive went kaput I can’t play my ESIV: Oblivion disc so I’m planning to get the PS3 Game of the Year edition soon. --- End quote --- Isn't the PS2 Slim emulating when it's in PS1 mode? It does it flawlessly. Seems weird the PS3 would have issues. |

--- Quote ---I haven't touched the PS3 controller in years but after playing with the PS5 controller which is very solid and feels well built, even the PS4 controller feels like a cheaply made toy in comparison. The difference is staggering. I expect the PS3 controller would feel the same. --- End quote --- I've always thought that the DualShock 3 felt light and cheap. Definitely not just in hindsight. --- Quote from: burningdoom on January 05, 2023, 12:32:14 pm --- --- Quote from: undertakerprime on January 05, 2023, 11:42:23 am ---I still play my PS3 regularly.

Personally, I love my PS3. I still collect for it, and I still play it regularly. I will agree that the controller is the worst of the bunch. It feels very light in the hands. But the PS3 is still my favourite PS console of them all. |

I definitely agree to an extent with most things you said. I still really like the PS3, although it has fallen out of favor more and more over the years. Probably because it was the shiny new console during the middle of the 7th gen, I thought it was the best thing ever (well...almost), and had a lot of enthusiasm for its game library and many unreleased games for it at the time. However, over the years I feel like many of its games just weren't as good, iconic, or memorable as many of the games for its predecessors, and even its successor. I'm not entirely sure why that is, but it's certainly my least favorite Playstation console (not including the PS5 since it's story isn't over yet). There are still many games I love on the PS3, but I've definitely downsized my PS3 collection quite a bit due to lack of interest in many games I thought I wanted to play back when it was still Sony's main console. |

It's the games that made PS3 great. Hardware was good for its time but we all obviously expect faster processing and navigation. There are still a couple series that I wish got HD remasters for PS4/5... - Warhawk - Army of Two |
