![]() I didn’t overreact over it like I should’ve but I will say this: The Days & Years that came after I lost that PS3 and up to I got my current one? Pretty tough and somehow, despite having all the gadgets and friends…I felt empty without a PS3. Just Three Months before Bloodborne!!!Īnyways, I lent this PS3 to a (then close) friend in May 2015 and she claims her brother “misplaced it”. Two Week WITH NO PS3 □ in a Limited Edition “Crystal White” colorway that came with a 500GB HDD and most importantly…2 Free Years of PS Plus! At the time, I thought I would never ever see the day I stopped paying for PS+…until I fell into hard times and sold my PS4 to a guy on Craigslist to pay my Phone Bill for $165. ** bought it in January 2013 and traded in the former while needing to wait a whole two weeks for it. *purchased from GameStop, as a 240GB Bundle w/ Uncharted 3 & INfamous 2 physical copies, with my first job’s first paycheck back in September 2011! Next to my first car, it’s still the most cathartic and positive memory from those days and it’s one I feel even now with my old friend’s PS3 now in my possession at no cost! What’s Old is Evergreen and Always New Again □ Start of Asterisks aka L(B)ore of PS3s Past!. Will Edit with an update when it’s done sometime before the end of the world and the rebuilding/rediscovery of Society □ ![]() The download took 2 hours and an extra 20 minutes for the DLC, all told, on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so I didn’t expect for the Install to take longer than the Download □īut lo and behold…it is NOW 83 Minutes and the game is only at… 53 Percent!!! The base Digital game off PSN is 15.8 GB and the “Story” DLC is a total of 4.3 GB across 6 DLCs (or 1 Bundle of 6), so I expected as much. I’ve been installing games weekly on this*** old PS3 and in 2022…instead of 7-12 Minutes a game? It’s…Ĭurrently installing THE Game that got me motivated enough to buy/receive a PS3 I wanted to play the most:Īs I type all this, it’s been about 75 Minutes and the game is only at 45%. He knows they’re expensive to get if they work well, so he wanted to help me out! How could I say No to a machine that helped me get through some of the hardest times of my life and motivates me to follow/connect with real goals and people in life? I couldn’t and never could! He wanted to make sure I took care of it, which he never thought to due to not being good at cleaning electronics, he explained □□♂️ All complete with the controllers, games, and original box with manuals! On top of reconnecting with a great old friend of mine (since 2006), he also told me I needed to clean it up before I take it to make sure it doesn’t explode or go all YLOD on me. He then gives me the biggest shock I’ve had in a while: He says that I can have his*** if I go see him and out for a night on the town. It’s even slower than I remembered it to be now than it was in the halcyon days of this wonderful yet loathsome Wonder Box! I recall it taking about 7-10 Minutes to fully install Deus Ex: Human Revolution onto both my original PS3 Slim* and my (then) upgrade to the PS3 Super Slim** a year and some change later! Other HUUUUGE games like COD, Battlefield 3, Uncharted 2 & 3, and others never took more than 10-12 Minutes MAX back in them days, so I’m wondering what’s up with the HDDs or Hardware (the components and board) itself □įlash Forward to March 2022, I randomly talk to an old friend I hadn’t seen in person in almost 8 Years, due to personal business keeping me distant from others, and I tell him about my plan to buy a PS3 in bad condition, have it reballed and any broken exterior (Casing, USB Ports Shielding, Connection Contacts, Etc.) pieces remade via 3D Printing or taken from a spare Fat PS3, and ultimately get a second PS3 strictly to play the Exclusives on (preferably…another Super Slim this time in either “Azurite Blue” or “Spartan Red”, for the PS All Stars & God of War Ascension Bundles, Respectively)… Now…the intended and unedited original comment! Explained in detail in the * ’d diatribes lol I got a bit personal, but only because this console means a great deal to me. Warning: Only read the Asterisked Entries if you’re bored.
