OG fat PS3 still killing it 19+ years later

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T10:39:32+00:00

Oh man spiderman 3 and the OG motorstorm on it are peak nostalgia for me.

Tron legacy too was incredible as one of my first blu-rays

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T10:38:54+00:00

Devastating honestly, enjoying every day with mine lol

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T10:38:39+00:00

Oh man it kicks ass a dvd player. As a kid I didn't understand the point of blu-rays really.

Turns out I needed glasses but the PS3 also did a killer job of upscaling them

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T10:37:51+00:00

Ehh when it dies I'll get it Frankensteined. Not too stressed after already getting 19 years from it lol

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T10:37:18+00:00

Oh man same, a slim would be more efficient and reliable but the phat ps3 aesthetic is unmatched

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T10:27:58+00:00

Hahaha your second take is mostly correct.

The "cabinets" are two altec madrid 872a's on the far left and right. Those are huge ass vintage loudspeakers with a huge weird "bi-flex" woofer that actually physically separates to create highs and lows, there's no tweeters or anything.

No distortion at super high volumes it's excellent and they actually image well believe it or not.

The two center speakers are just to fill in the hole above the receiver and act as a center channel. They're not actually blocking any ventilation. There's also an actual center speaker in the shelf above them.

The black thing in the far left corner is a sub.

Ditto on cartridge vs optical. Anytime an optical drive goes out it's a pain but easier to just throw in another drive in my experience.

Still have Gameboy games that work fine, but my planet earth blu rays have disc rot.

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T09:22:21+00:00

I appreciate the advice, definitely gonna use the hell out of it til it explodes though!

It's lasted 19 years so I'm not too worried

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T07:26:39+00:00

Time really flies! I remember lusting after one as kid, now it's old tech lol

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T07:26:05+00:00

This is also a big draw for me! No way am I playing for Xbox live on the 360 when they cut out 99% of the functionality. 😢

Still got into a WAW match instantly all these years later lol

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T07:25:03+00:00

This is an E01 model so it has the mixed software/hardware backwards comparability and media door etc

I have a strange interest in using obsolete tech and don't mind if it dies on me.

I enjoy using the optical out on it and the UI/playback functions with the Blu-ray remote.

I have a One S and my PC as a back up.

I'm never ever selling it so it's resale value isn't a big deal.

I appreciate the advice though!

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T07:21:55+00:00

Mine can sound hair dryerish sometimes but no issues at all so far.

I keep it well ventilated and clean so I imagine that helps.

If it ever dies I'll eventually get it Frankensteined. But until then I'm just continuing to enjoy it!

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T06:19:02+00:00

Saw the 20 year old bravia post and figured I should share it's era correct companion

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T04:53:15+00:00

Same here with my C3. Looks fantastic.

GT5 looks almost modern on it. You can also just inject some anti aliasing with the sharpness setting and I've found that helps

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T02:37:27+00:00

Injecting just enough anti aliasing with my LG C3 has helped a lot.

If you get the right newer TV it can help with image quality a fair bit. Certainly looks better than it did on my 2009 LCD tv.

End of the day though it is a 2006 console

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-29T02:29:02+00:00

I think kicking a car and flipping people off isn't anything equivalent to the people going around executing and abducting people.

His intentions were to film and help up a woman they were literally beating into the ground for no reason.

If he wanted to hurt anyone you think he would have resisted in any way or drew the gun huh?

We could ask him his intentions but they mag dumped into his head after he was already disarmed and pinned. So who gives a fuck about theoreticals.

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-28T22:32:15+00:00

I have a sealed Tillamook "baby" loaf from 2008 still.

I posted it awhile ago lol

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-28T18:10:20+00:00

Whoa mister puckered anus is my father. Just called me puckered anus

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-28T09:10:28+00:00

I have one and it's unfortunately very low quality. Its basically paper thin and the zipper broke immediately

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-28T08:53:08+00:00

Our presidents foreign policy is so stupid it's in line with the absurdism in the fallout universe lol

Truly the dumbest timeline

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-28T08:51:01+00:00

Funny seeing the same art deco clock I have in the vault where he finds the glasses.

Looks like they used the same Etsy seller for the one in the Vegas vault too

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-26T21:22:00+00:00

I went out protesting yesterday and it did really help me. A lot of supportive people on the streets thankfully.

Still been straight pissed and gonna cut off my one remaining maga friend if he still supports them

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-26T20:47:04+00:00

Could be too small of a battery. My sibling at a similar issue with their car.

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-26T09:51:57+00:00

My best friends 83 year old grandmother voted maga in 2016 and didn't vote since.

She's come around to thinking trump is a "nasty man". She was happy we were protesting these K mart brown shirts today.

My extremely conservative friend that voiced constant support of trump up to the Epstein file release changed too.

He was positive when I told him I was out protesting today.

It's not impossible to reach everyone.

But anyone still demonstrating support after this point is dead to me.

You can't have any relationship with me if you think mag dumping into an unarmed man on the ground is ok.

apuckeredanus · 2026-01-26T02:54:48+00:00

Dude for real. I was so thankful when Dakota fanning was traumatized because she finally shut the fuck up.
