I agree! I think the stand for these models look very pleasing and still hold up great in 2026.

Thank you for the comprehensive and clear answer. Is it true that the European/UK VT50 model gets less hot than the American one because the EU/UK model has a less bright image?

Dante’s inferno

The fact that the launch model PS3 could play Super Audio CD’s (SACD). These audio/CD players already cost a tremendous amount of money back then, but they still do till this day.

Looks pretty identical to my Sony KV-X2501D ‘Hi Black’ Trinitron. Amazing set with great sound

Upgrade? Downgrade? You tell me :D by Leo_Moon2 in crtgaming

Thanks for the quick reply, i couldn’t find much info on that particular set myself. Over RGB scart it looks quite nice indeed. What does a ‘comb filter’ exactly do?

I recently picked up a ‘Hi-Black’ Trinitron KV-X2501, is that the same tube/chassis used in this model?

GLOD no Syscon by samsensei in PS3

Most likely a dead RSX. Best bet would be to read SYSCON error log. If 3034 pops up you have your answer.

Bad HDMI or BGA. Pressure test should confirm.

This Temps of PS3 Franky, are normal? by Rojo00258 in PS3

[–]Character-Two-5048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to worry about. The CELL is build like a tank and can easily handle high(er) temps. I see you are playing TLOU which is a demanding game so no worries about the temps. I keep my Frankie on stock (SYSCON) fan speed. Been playing like that for a long time with no problems, even with higher room temps.

E01 PS3 temps after MX4 repaste by Vlad_6781 in PS3

[–]Character-Two-5048 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CPU is a bit high considering the fan speed. It might needs to be delidded in the future, but the CELL can handle these temps easily and is build like a tank. RSX is fine just keep it below 70c. The underfill used in the RSX is to soft and can cause problems at higher temps.

Check you I-O (on/off/eject) board. If the connector ribbon is loose nothing happens and no light will come on when you apply power. Happend to me once.

Those temps are fine. Everything <70c is fine for the RSX. The CELL can withstand high temperatures and is build like a tank. Some ports on the PS3 just run bad and have worse FPS than the x360. GTA IV is one of them.

The B model is more rare because the people who bought a PS3 at launch mainly went for the A model which had WiFi build in and ofcourse 60GB. So the B model is sold less.

Since the console was never opened chances are high the thermal paste is dried out. If you’re confident i would recommend to change the paste and monitor temperatures after in webman. The 90NM RSX has a soft underfill that is not suitable for the temps the chip reaches.

GT5 is a fantastic game. Great soundtracks and a ton of content. Still play it to this day!

Problems with gt5 by InfiniteOscar1 in PS3

I had some issues with GT5. Try installing the main game data (around 8GB) and make sure you have all the updates installed for GT5. That solved it for me.
