I never had a PS3 back in the day. I have a PS5 now, and when I was looking at the PS+ packages, I was fascinated by the fact that all the PS3 games have to be streamed. And what’s more, relatively few PS3 games are even on the service. I didn’t realize that the PS3 was such a unique/powerful console, that it still apparently can’t be properly emulated even on a PS5.
I am interested in playing Final Fantasy 13, the Killzone series, Resistance Fall of Man, among others. Looks like a PS3 can be had for about $120 at my local game store.
Do others still have and use their PS3? Does it still connect/interface to Sony’s online service? Like can I still get trophies that connect with my PS account, buy DLC, etc? Or is all that shut down?
I do have an Xbox Series X, so I could play FF13 on there, but none of the other games.
(Hopefully this kind of post is ok here, I know it’s not gaming news, but just trying to not sit and lurk, but actually create discussion)
Wow, that’s awesome. I’m so used to Nintendo’s BS shutting down their last gen online stores, it’s amazing that Sony is still supporting a store from 2 generations ago, extra steps or not.
Heh, well they were planning to shut it down but there was backlash! Hopefully it stays around for a while.
I use it to watch blue-ray movies as most standalone blue-ray devices just stop workig after a short time and the ps3 always works.
