Sony Didn't Forget the PS3 on Valentine's Day as System Gets New Firmware Update

again? i just recently updated too.

I'm kinda surprised its even getting this firmware update. I'd be curious to know how many people are still regularly using that system.

My PS3 has been collecting dust for 3 and a half years now i think.

where is my PS3?, sat right in between my PS2 and PS4

when was the last time i played it?, last night

Mines at the back of the wardrobe collecting dust since a daughter took my TV in the bedroom when hers broke. To be fair I probably played less than a few hours per year since the ps4 came out. More of a bluray player for the bedroom

they must have patched out a hack exploit.

My PS3 is still under my TV. Not used much, but still there, just in case. Still got my launch 60GB in its box in the spare room, too... and still in full working order last time I tested it.

sigh Oh dear, I was forced to put my PS3 in a drawer because, one day, graphics started glitching. I think it's because I busted the graphics card.
I have to get another one now.

Mine is still plugged in right next to my PS4, i still play it regularly, i got it very late into the generation so am still catching up on a lot of its games, i'm hoping to start Ni No Kuni soon

Don't want to jinx it but...my ten year old Phat is still under the telly and gets a pretty regular spin. The controllers carked it a couple of years ago but the console itself still works fine. Sounds like a 747 taking off, but still works.

Have it running at the same time as my PS4 and switch between them, currently on Spiderman on the PS4 and got the platinum trophy after my 3rd playthrough of LEGO Harry Potter years 1-5 as a glitched had stopped my last trophy 'pinging' before.

hahaha ps3 is like my old girlfriend that I miss and wants to be with.super Nintendo is like my ex but she's a cheater so I left her.sega dreamcast.is my ex that thinks she's all that that I left her.and sega genesis is my ex girlfriend that I will always l💞've .hahaha.word up son

Mines sat under my tv proudly as so many amazing ps3 games to still play it's amazing console and it plays music cd's lol

@Toadie @FullbringIchigo best rpg on ps3 word up son

@FullbringIchigo hahaha. I was playing my ps3 20 minutes ago.metro.bioshock.killzone 2.infamous2.resistance 2.god of war 3.ni no kuni.odin sphere.dragon age origins.etc word up son

Got my PS3 set up alongside my PS4 - love 'em both to bits & that's not about to change anytime soon as have way too many games in my backlog for both systems still to play through (my own fault for getting back into gaming at the tail end of last gen I suppose).

Unfortunately, it also means my Xbox One X doesn't get much of a look in presently, which is a shame as it's a great little machine for sure and I enjoyed playing through all the Gears games a few months ago (and still have The Witcher 2 to play yet), but Playstation is king right now for me.

@playstation1995 i was playing Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 HD

My PS3 has too many PS1, 2, and 3 games downloaded to it to ignore. And so many HD collections, some of which never got a PS4 port.

The kids inherited mine, it's upstairs now. It sees a lot of Minecraft these days, as well as Little Big Planet Karting and the Lego games.

I mainly use it for Christmas Nights each December

Packed away in 2015. I have a huge back log in PS4 games that continues to grow.

Wouldn't it be wise to release patches for it until it gets taken off the network, because I'm sure there's people out there that would want to find an exploit to hack the network there always is. And if o remember Sony where very ignorant when the big hack happened in fact they where running a very old version of the Apache server if I recall which is one reason why it was hacked.

@FullbringIchigo you been playing video games since 4 years old and I'm not stopping.thats what I always say also haha.word up son

PS3 gets Regular attention - TLOU factions drags me in continuously. Got heaps of games on it to work through...

@Broosh yep my ps3 also.i got ps1 and ps2 games on my ps3.infamous never realease on ps4.killzone 2 and 3.red dead redemption.ni no kuni.god of war ascension.resistance 1.2.3. mafia 2. dragon age origins.and 2.metal gear 4.x com enemy within.far cry 2.crysis 2 .3.the darkness.metal gear rising reverence.tales of symphonies chronicles..max Payne 3.vanquish.gta 4.fallout 3.fallout new Vegas.the dosages triple play collection..dead space 1.2.3.sainta row 3.cod world at war.kingdom of Amelia.shadow of the damned.demon soul.f.e.a.r. 2 .3.heavenly sword.folklore .mass effect 2 .3.singularity.the puppeteer etc.none of those games are on ps4.word up son

Still use mine. Unfortunately, too much Mortal Kombat and God of War must have did something to my barely half a year old controller, so I need to replace it again.

@playstation1995 yep my parents brought me an N.E.S for Christmas and i have not looked back

@FullbringIchigo I been playing video games since 1981 .when I started with Atari.word up son

Still got my ps3 and still play on it, thanks for not forgetting about us lol.

PS3 is set up in the bedroom. PS4 Pro is in the living room connected to the 4K TV and my old PS4 which was in the dining room is currently in limbo. Debating sending it for repair or just buying a second hand one cheap.

Have to say though. I still get plenty of use out of my PS3. It's my retro console as it's got loads of PS1 content and old Sega classics. Not to mention using it for the apps YouTube etc. Also, PS plus means I'm installing MGS4 right now. Looking forward to relaying it again soon.

I still play mine. It's downloading Borderlands 2 right now

@Incognito_D just a couple of days ago i have been playing yakuza 4 so still using my ps3 regularly.

My PS3 is in my bedroom, acting as my media streamer and blu-ray/dvd player. It has games on it, but I haven't played on the console in almost a year.

@playstation1995 i had a atari back when i was a kid, but i also had a intellivison, which i loved, me and my dad used to play burger time all night on that thing

On topic, my ps3 is in my 2 year old granddaughters room, so she can watch her baby shark. Man she loves her some baby shark.

@playstation1995 You said it! Until they at the very least port over the other Metal Gears or remaster Demons Souls the PS3 will remain relevant to me.

PS3 still rocks, will play mine till it dies, then try and make a dent in my PS4 backlog. By the time I'm finished PS7 will be out.

I still play mine weekly, and I was a day one buyer of PS4. I just plated Infamous and working on the first LittleBigPlanet atm.

Mine still gets a lot of use. Like others here mine's proudly displayed along with my PS2, PS4 and PS4 Pro. No way I'm getting rid of it. It's still a very capable machine with a backlog that's slowly but surely being got through.

@Eternallover21 heck yes! Loads of folks still playing. Doesn’t take long to find a match at all. Come play!

@ellsworth004 hahaha.atari was fun I remember I was like what I can control that.i was 4 years old.and having fun haha.word up son

@Eldritch yep I'm still playing my ps3.im playing it now.killzone 2.infamous2 2.uncharted 2.ni no kuni.i still play it.word up son

@CB7Tuner91 the first infamous is a classic.the last boss was a epic fight.but infamous 2 is the best one.im playing infamous 2 in a couple of days.word up son

@playstation1995 i fired up festival of blood a few weeks ago - loved being able to fly - actually made you feel like one of those conduits that could zip around all over the place

as for my ps3 in general it serves as the blu ray/netflix/amazon prime player in my home cinema - my quick dalliance with infamous was the first time i've used it to play games in many years since the ps4 launched infact

@Scoobijohn I still use my ps3 to play some ps3 games.killzon2 2 and 3.uncharted 2 and 3.little big planet 2.the puppeteer.max Payne 3 etc.word up son

@Incognito_D yep mine also.i got borderlands triple pack.3 games in one.word up son

My PS3 is plugged in my television and I don’t pretend to change that.

@FullbringIchigo ..same set up I've got....probably play it more than the ps4..or the vr

Before starting KH3 on my PS4 I recently played Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix from the 2.5 HD collection

Mines still plugged in upstairs in our bedroom but it's mainly just used as a dvd / blu ray player.

Not to long back I did fire up some old games on it and I have to admit they're starting to show their age a little now. Just as an example I used to love Ridge Racer 7, I thought it looked amazing when I first got it but I think we're spoilt now with 4K gaming so it's hard to go back (with certain types of games at least)

I think I get more enjoyment playing Ps1 games on it than ps3 probably due to nostalgia. I simply love playing the original Gta and Tony Harks Pro skater games and don't think I'll ever tire of them

Remember all the magazines (which still existed at the time) and Game journalists, laughing at the touted 10 years life cycle of the PS3. 2006/7 to 2019 and still just about hanging in there.

I spend all of my night and day time on Last Gen, I love Last Gen it's the awesome

Mines next to my PS4. Played motor storm just the other night and picked up some missed titles from music magpie for pittance. Other suppliers are available 😂

God i remember playing Cannon Fodder on my Amiga 1200 still remember the theme tune to it lol "Whoa never been such much fun"

@playstation1995 my older Brother had a Commodore 64, he pretty much abandoned it when i got my N.E.S though

@bigallychef mine are all in a row, PS1-PS2-PS3-PS4 and the shelf under that i have my NES-SNES-N64-Gamecube-WiiU and off to the sides i have my XB1 (my original XB and my 360 are both dead) and my Mega Drive and Dreamcast

Maybe i should backup my PS3 and upgrade my harddisk. 😁

And one of my favorite games Heavenly Sword Nariko is my favorite character which should be brought back.

I like her better then Kratos.

Still have mine set up as I'm currently trying to plat FFXIII as well as playing through Shenmue 2

Hahaha! Mines next to my PS4, on the shelf below my Original PS and PS2... All are plugged in and working even the PS2 got some action last weekend, my PS3 gets used often, GT6 is one of my favourite games, but, finally, she was upgraded with a new (well, spare from my PC) HDD just yesterday...

@Kidfried I gave my wife a quick-time event.

...sigh...

Sat next my PS4 Pro, it still gets switched on most days.

I've played my PS3 for significantly more hours and more recently than my PS4.

Wheres my ps3, right behind my tv next to my ps4 being played literally right now.

@playstation1995 most def! I'm gonna give myself alittle break from it. Then come back and plat the 2nd one. I've got Festival of Blood to. Is that one worth my time?

@Ryumoau I'm on my PS3 right now actually
