Now I've wanted one of these for a while, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly. However, it's a bit harder to navigate and deal with compared with the Xbox 360. The downloads and store are a little bit worse in terms of UI, but that's fine once you get used to it. However, ever since I switched hard drives (which, again, was harder to do than the 360) it crashes intermittently, but does not make it unplayable, usually does it during the XMB. Just glad to finally have it after all these years.

The super slim ps3 was released only a year before the ps4 came out, giving it a good remaining lifespan. I do like the manual disk-tray slide as (like the ps1) you can remove disks while the power is off. The ps3 design is also more efficient and isn't as likely to die due to the YLOD problem the initial generations suffered from. The PS3 also plays ps1 games, which are fun to revisit. One caveat is that some of the online features have been obsoleted, including those for individual PS3 games. However, if your main interest is single-player offline, the games are still quite good (we have a ps4 so I'm comparing to that). The other oddity is that the DVD player works but the Blu-Ray does not. I don’t know if its a firmware/software/laser failure (DVD and Blu-Ray use separate lasers). The specific console I received was in good condition with barely any wear. Other than the Blu-Ray issue it works fine.Read full review

The PS3 was in excellent condition. Looked brand new. Plays games perfectly, whether on disk or downloaded I've had no problems. It charges my controller, which my Playstation would no longer do. It was exactly what I needed, especially with the whole pandemic going on. Have had no problems with it at all. Reads every disk I put in, fast load times, and my Playstation couldn't even get a good internet connection, things that took me 19 hrs. to download on my old system took 5 minutes with this one. Very happy with the product and felt the cost was fantastic for what I got,

I am a casual gamer. Played video games back in the early 80's (Atari console) and mid to late 90's (Doom, Duke Nuke'm). I also bought a Wii a few years ago, mainly for my daughters. So, I'd been thinking about playing more and was considering an XBox, PlayStation or the new Wii U. Well, latest gen consoles are too expensive for a casual gamer like me, so looked to get an XBox 360 or PS3 and decided on the later. I found a good deal on a used console on eBay (PS3 Super Slim with 250GB hard drive) and pulled the trigger. Also got a bunch of used games here on eBay as well (Destiny, Journey, GTA IV, Gran Turismo 6, and others). Let me say this, these video games are just awesome when compared to the old stuff and the Wii. The graphics on the PS3 are fantastic and the speed of the console is quite good: for the graphics it's processing, there isn't any lag on the TV screen. It's also quite convenient to have the ability to stream video (Netflix and Amazon Prime) on the PS3 and to be able to play DVD/Bluray discs. For 1/3 of the cost of a PS4, I really think the PS3 is an excellent choice for those seeking to play awesome games at a fraction of the cost of a next gen console.Read full review

With the PS4 out now a monthly, annual or trimounthly service for online game play is required. Xbox has had it for a long time but the PS3 was the last free one. They're not really making new games for it though. Lots of great games to play. I've been playing Destiny for about 2 years now, but the last DLC was for PS4 and Xbox one only.
