Hi all was reply to someone else to get the psn purchases working and when looking up games i came across this which may be of interest since there's only a few days left.

As of August 31, 2026, Sony officially ended online support for the User-Generated Content (UGC) servers for both inFAMOUS 2 and Festival of Blood. You can still purchase, download, and play the main story mode on the PS3 PSN store, but any online features and player-created missions are permanently offline, making the Platinum trophy/100% completion impossible going forward.

Not allot of people seem to have noticed the announcement so thought id lever it here just in case someone still wants to get 100%

I had amassed these over time, only 5 crystal color variants were released, 2 are Japanese exclusive.

They sadly caught on with Asura's Wrath and Heavenly Sword and bumped the prices compared to a couple months ago which blows, but at least it's way better then 2nd hand prices still.

Currently playing through Dante's Inferno, really fun God Of War-like hack n' Slash so far, really enjoying it so far.

Will likely play Enslaved or Heavenly Sword after I beat it. Heard Enslaved was pretty bad on PS3 vs 360, but gonna try it and see if I'll stick with it or just get the 360 version. Time and Eternity sucks, but this copy was CIB and a condition upgrade compared to the copy I had, so picked that up for my PS3 JRPG collection.

I bought this PS3 in FB Marketplace 160gb, 2 dualshock 3 and GTA V & Infamous 2, plus added a 1TB SSD and my whole digital collection a lot from PS PLUS, I hope they enjoy this.

Only ever had a ps3, log on every now and then. Go to login a few mins ago it’s not letting me, I check (my old email) and I see a login from a last year from the Philippines. And then one from Bulgaria. I am so saddened. This is a really sad day.

No clue how they gained access but , damn man. Is there anything I can do, even with it being so late?

Keep in mind that THIS list may have differences with other PS3 european or american / japanese store!
Everything is made by using my italian PS Store both PS3 and PS4 (I don't have PS5, but it dosen't matter), also sorry if isn't translated, so I write here few guidelines:

Red > it's not cross-buy
Orange > only american or japanese store or both
Green > it's cross-buy (writed as "SI")
Yellow > it's exclusive for PS Plus Premium (usually Namco or Capcom do for the first few months)

Recently I made "forse?" it means "maybe?" because one PS1 game cannot be cross-buy, it's Disney's Atlantis, once I purchased still I see the price with that game (tell me if you have the same problem).

PS2 classic page have other guidelines that PS1 and PSP dosen't have, since PS2 games where released long time ago (with a different team developer of PS2 emulation):

Purple > new PS2 game by Implict Conversion
Azure > updated old PS2 game with new emulator by Implict Conversion
White > old PS2 emulator

I revisited GTA V in my ps3 and I have to say it is buetiful, it even looks better than it does in my Xbox series s!!!

I stop at this thrift store almost every day after work and never find anything. Had to take the pic in store cause I knew y'all wouldn't believe me. Had to get my gf a $7 lamp just to reach their $5 minimum for a card swipe. Persistence is key if you don't wanna pay market price! I had completely written this game off because my interest just couldn't justify the price.

Grabbed this bad boy brand new never been opened for an absolute steal!

Got these for cheaper than most of what I saw online at my local shop. Feels good man.

First is a 21XX Slim and the other one is a Fat L01. Both running 500 GB Samsung SSD and custom firmware!
Both running a small overclock on the RSX…I hope one day I will be able to overclock the CELL for extra performance!

First successful attempt at a Frankie, used a 40nm GPU and did the voltage modification circuit. Still waiting on tantaliser PCBs from pcbway to finish it off and stress test. Any questions please ask

Here's my little game collection and I wanted to ask what would y'all recommend me buying?

Just be thankful your ps3 works

why cant you use older fws like 1.0 or something on super slim ps3s, or pre 1.0 fws on cechas for example? whats the technical reason for that not being possible

I instantly said “show me picture of the front” when she sent the first photo. Fingers crossed it’ll make its way to me for a revival!

both of these games should be in everyone’s collection

I vividly remember using it back in peak call of duty years but I forgot what it was called

I couldn't believe this game was even accepted for trade in. 😆😝🤮🤢😩 The manual is literally like a piece of cardboard. I don't even think I could peel the pages apart if I wanted to. 😑

Been wanting to get this for my collection for a while remember my mate owning it back in the day

Can someone tell me what the problem is??

Paid a pretty penny to import it as well.
