I bought an unmodded PS3 super slim model and all the games pictured below for about $100.

I haven’t been this excited about gaming in years. I never had a ps3. It was one of the few consoles I didn’t own since all the way back to the nes.

First thing I did was mod it by putting hen on it so I could use my usb headset while playing since I do not have speakers connected to my monitor.

Now, I am playing the uncharted series for the first time. Out of all the games there, the only ones I have played are Skyrim, GTAV, and the last of us. I played a bit of the batman games, but not really too much of it so I consider it unplayed.

I can get more games where I live for about $6-$12. I think the PS3 is going to be my new gaming console for a while.

If you have a modded ps3, what hen compatible homebrew apps do you recommend? I do not think I will do any piracy since the games here are so cheap, but I am thinking of copying the games to an ssd and running them over a network (I think that can be done with HEN).

I have a small ssd which could hold a few games at a time and I think that will be better so I do not put too much wear on the optical drive.

Sorry, for the long post. I am just really excited about this. I have always had the opinion that gaming started going downhill in this generation.

Oh, also, what other games do you recommend I pick up?

I already have fallout 3, new vegas, god of war, and the injustice games. I have a steamdeck, but since games are so cheap, I want to build out a ps3 collection.

    We just busted out my PS3 and PS4, my son decided he wanted to play my back log of games. I also have a PS5, Xbox One, Xbox SX, and 360. And we have the original Switch. Add that to my hundreds of PC games we are set for a long time. That not t9 mention the Nintendo and Sega Genesis I also have with lots of great games.

    It is stupid for them to raise the price on a machine that’s what 6 years old?
