Why You Should Buy A PS3 (Backwards Compatible) With A PS5

Sony’s had a shaky history with backwards compatibility, and thankfully PS5 handles it beautifully for PS4 games. But right up to launch and even now, everyone is asking for PS3, PS2, and PS1 support. In an ideal world you’d only need one console, but since that’s not gonna happen.. how about two? In fact, I’d argue that’s a really great setup. Two consoles, 27 years of games at your fingertips. Let’s talk about what PS3 models you should look at, the compatibility you can expect, and why hardware reliability might be a thing of the past. Oh yes.. there will be games. (Awful movie reference, but I couldn’t think of anything clever).

  1. Thank you for telling me about that NEC chip issue, now I can fix my dead PS3 and hook it up to my old TV in my living room for guests.

    I have a ps3 that plays all ps2 games and that's exactly what I use it for.

  2. Show me a Backwards Compatible PS3 that isn't all burnt up and still works, and I'll buy it.
    I bought 3 during covid. All 3 were garbage.
    Fans would go bad and the insides would end up covered in solder.

  3. It’s always baffled me why Sony didn’t just release a limited edition super expensive (for profit) PS5 console that plays all 5 generations. I’d be will to play up to $2000 for this kind of console.

  4. That's exactly what i have PS3 + PS5, so i can play most games on least devices. PS3 is 60GB CECH04 so sadly no full PS2 hardware inside but that's earliest PS3 model in Europe. I love the build quality of it and how much stuff it can play (CD, DVD, BLURAY)

  5. I got burned bad with a used/refurbished backwards compatible PS3. Bought in July 2016, died in January 2017. Obviously, I wasn't going to spend $ to have an already used/refurbished console fixed again. I eventually learned that the battery in those specific types of PS3 burn out super quick, so I highly recommend nobody ever buy a backwards compatible PS3. Not worth the investment for something that may only last a few months, if that.

  6. Just got my backwards compatible 3 now I can enjoy all 5 generation of games on my 8k tv setup already had my ps5 since launch day and I’m so happy finally able to play all my old games aswell as anything new
