After that who knows? I'm always open to firing up the old girl. I doubt I'll ever decommission her completely I've played 78 PS3 games since this post ? mixture of previously started and new. I'm behind with the PS4 , if I carry on with the 3 I'll be behind on the 5 then the 6. I've played what I want to play, I'm happy to move on. I put it in storage though so.... I'd have gotten rid if I really meant never wouldn't I? ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it only applied to web browsers and not the in-console store app. I am having the same issue, the PS3 store constantly says it's in maintenance mode (PS4 and Vita are fine though). A kind user on here, SnowxSakura suggested deleting the store on the PS3 by pressing triangle and then reinstalling it. I haven't tried this yet but I'll put it on my to-do list for today and report back later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Decided to go through and count how many games I have left in my backlog for my PS3s. Most are PS1/PS2 games, and currently the PS3 games do take priority (cause trophy syncing and cloud saves), but I have been slowly getting through some of the PS1 and PS2 games as well. 23 PS1 games 3 PS2 games 13 PS3 games And on my PS3 with my American account (yes I have a separate PS3 for it, because my main PS3 only has like 12gb free of the 500gb HDD so didn't have much of a choice unless I upgraded the HDD, which I've always been too lazy to do): 16 PS1 games 13 PS2 games So 68 games total. I know I could potentially speed it up by playing some of those PS1 games on emulator on my phone with its ipega controller while I'm out/at work but... I much prefer just playing on official hardware, unless the game is insanely annoying without fast forward/save states. I'm pretty sure I said I think it'll take me another 3 years to clear my PS3 backlog before. I still stand by that, for my main PS3 at least. The PS3 with just American exclusive PS1/PS2 games is probably gonna take about 2-3 years as well on its own, most of them are long-ass JRPGs. So I guess I'll stop playing the PS3 by 2025-2026 or so if my estimates turn out to be correct. Just in time for the PS6... I don't even want to know how many PS4 games I have in my backlog, it was something like 200 last I counted, last year... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the PS3 Store icon/picture, press triangle, delete Store, click on Store with X, reinstall Store (48mb for me) - it works! I live in France at the moment and we now have another month of lockdown to look forward to. It's pissing down with rain every day and I can walk a massive 1km from my house now. Cheers Macron. Thank God lockdown starts Friday as that would have been my birthday buggered. Thank goodness I have a lot of work on and a PS3, PS4, PS Vita and the backlog to end all backlogs. I'm calling it now, lockdown here ends mid-January.

Philipppowitsch Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) Still have 50-60 games which i have to finish, so i guess i have around 2 years content;) I bought this year the super slim and the fat model, so that I have all 3 models now. As I am a fanboy of PS3, I guess I will play the classic games even in 2030 Edited October 29, 2020 by Philipppowitsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it gets worse. I use HLTB to track my backlog, and according to that I have 1165 games in my backlog total. Not sure how accurate that is, as I think I may have some duplicates on there for games I've since gotten for newer systems (e.g. had Resonance of Fate on PS3 for ages, never got around to playing it, then got the PS4 version later when that released), but it's still insanely high and I know I'll never complete it, especially since the number tends to go up rather than down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive. I've been gaming since 1988 - my first platform was the Amiga 500. I would guess that it's highly unlikely I have played 1,000 games in total over the years. Good luck with your quest.

Potter13579 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 When PS4/PS5 finally remasters all of Sucker Punch's games with Sly Cooper and inFAMOUS, and also find some solution for PS1 backwards compatibility. Otherwise I have very little purpose considering PS Now can catch me up on what I missed a great deal on its own, but leaves so little behind I have to scrounge through.

NeoMesjasz Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Still love play on PS3, so many good games. Some series never really show up on PS4 like splinter cell. Playing blacklist and it's so good. But I have bad feeling that Sony wants to close online features on Vita and PS3 soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettmon Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I have put it aside recently but I'm already itching to play some of my games and I have two new ones coming from ebay. One of them is Max Payne 3, I have it on PC but I can't climb over that DRM mountain that Rockstar built. I managed it with GTAV but with MP3 I said *beep* it and order the PS3 version.

I still have backlogs for my PS1 and PS2 as well (not counting the emulated games on PS3). I think the only console I've ever completely cleared my backlog for is the N64, lol. There's just too many games and not enough time to play them all sadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toast_On_Cheese Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 When it dies, or if PS5 gets PS3 emulation post-launch, like the Xbox One did with the Xbox 360. I'd probably buy another. Something about the PS3 was just so much better than the PS4 for me. Maybe it was the games, maybe it's just nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NevadaDream Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I already did, because mine died like 3 years ago and then had to buy a Ps4, and hopefully this month a PS5, but still wish my ps3 worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trini Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I still have the urge to despite not touching the system ever since I started playing my ps4. I still feel like I haven't truly began to dive into its catalog and experience games like Alice: Madness returns and Shadows of the damn among others.

HeinrichReich Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 From my experience with other consoles: I don't think that I'll come back a lot to PS3 as soon as a I get a PS5. But it depends a lot on games. Some truly classics like MGS4 are always worth to be played again. And as long as they are exclusive to PS3, I don't have a real choice on that ?

urharrar Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Never, I adore the PS3 and think it's far superior to ps5 obviously because of its backwards compatibility but also because It's beautiful looking console.

RedDevil757 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I always said when mine dies. But it died and I went and got another. When I finish my backlog for it, I'll probably use it less. But I doubt I'll stop using it completely. The only thing that would stop me, is if this one died and the retro community started demanding too much for them. But when that happens, I'll be able to turn to emulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
