I have one of the super chunky OG PS3s thats compatable with PS1/2 games as well as DVD and bluray. I don’t play it anymore but I’m never getting rid of it.
At the time, i was all-in onps3, because of the rrod bullshit, but looking back, virtually every single title that was released on both platforms, runs and plays better on 360.
both consoles were and are amazing today!
you can soft-exploit any ps3 in existence with only a usb stick and run all the unsigned code you want.
the 360 is significantly more complicated, there is a soft-mod out there now, but it’s a little finicky. if you are brave and handy with a soldering iron you can put an RHG chip in there and reflash the bios to allow you to run unsigned code. I dropped a 2tb hdd into mine, which is more than i need for any and every game i ever even considered playing.
the ps3 is worth owning and playing for ps3 titles, the xbox360 is better for everything else.
I believe the PS3 was.
Very powerful machine, Sony was losing money on every sale.
Full of features including a web browser (which at the time was very impressive).
Full online functionality without any monthly costs
Upgradable hard drive
Full backwards compatibility (at launch).
It just didn’t sell as much as the ps2

bottom line: seventh gen was best gen
Conditional backwards compatability and while it did have online features a lot of them required a subscription to access.
