Are 360s still in production, or has the last gen ended completely now?

still playing games on it. 200 hours in persona 5 and going.

meanwhile ps4 has blopdborne and pro dlc upgrade. oh and remasters.

>PS3 has outlasted Wii and Wii U

lol it was such a failure they actually had to abandon it fucking lmao, thanks god im a nintendobro

Had a good run. 10+ years and here we are still talking about it. It will probably still get games for a while.

They've been discontinued since last year and I think PS3 has already been discontinued in the U.S. too. Gen 7 is pretty much officially over now.

RIP
goodnight sweet prince

it was a slow start but PS3 came from behind to win Gen 7

good night sweet prince, you earned your rest

Well that was a lot quicker than PS2. Things seem to be moving faster now in terms of generations though

HERE'S TO YOU RICOTTA AND BART.

I told you they'd kill it off eventually.

Sonuggets BTFO.

Scorpio is supposed to be able to read Xbox and Xbox 360 games. That said, I'll believe it when I see it. Corporations have a fear of actually giving customers what they want.

>Well that was a lot quicker than PS2.
Just 3 years difference.

PS3 went for 10 years and a few months, PS2 went for 14 years.

It's only ending Japan. Sony likely sling it in third world hell holes for a few more years.

literally the worst console in existence. fucking thing never works

>and Xbox 360 games.
That official list is absolute or you can run stuff outside of it? Because to this day the only 360 games I've ever bothered with: Ninja Gaiden II, DOA4 and Rumble Roses XX still aren't in the official compatibility list.

Microsoft stopped making 360s two years ago

I sincerely never thought it would outlive the Wii.

master system outlived all three

The fuck is a scorpio?

I have a mint in box PS3 you can buy off me in a decade for 400% markup.
Maybe you will miss the native input delay by then.

E3 2016's biggest reveal.

>you only just now find out Persona 5 is on PS3

I wasted my fucking money

Don't feel too bad. The PS4 is just now picking up, after years of nothing.

Brazil regurgitating the damn thing along with the Genesis doesn't count, it isn't SEGA manufactured.

Just a reminder that PS3 Slim CECH-2k model is the best PS3 revision.

>Smallest dies of the CELL and RSX which means less electricity needed for the system
>Much cooler and quieter than the fat PS3s
>Able to install custom firmware on it
>Has glowing LEDs for Wifi, Power, and Eject
>Build quality is spot on
>Has HDMI-CEC support

it counts. bow down to the longest lived console OF ALL TIME and its still going!

Eh no, nice try Phil, I hope you can stretch the reveal for 1 hour straight because that's all you have.

is that 50cent

>it counts.
Then the fucking NES still lives then.

Maybe I should get a backup PS3 for when my phat PS3 inevitably dies. Haven't even finished my backlog yet.

>Scorpio is supposed to be able to read Xbox and Xbox 360 games
This has literally never been stated by Microsoft or anyone representing Microsoft.

master system still lived a longer number of years

Microsoft ended production of the 360 about a year ago and have spent the last two holiday seasons liquidating the remaining supply by offering sales at stores

Bought it for Versus XIII and KH3.
I don't regret it one bit. Yakuza more than makes up for them.

Is a new PS3 "super slim" worth buying?

I have a PC, but want something i can put in my living room for Netflix and to play P5 and a few other games

super slim is fine. but if I was in your shoes I would look for a older PS3 so I could hack it.

Weird to think that P5 was the last big release for PS3 much like how P4 was on PS2

My fat PS3 is still alive and kicking after 8 years and I still play it every now and then. PSNow is a waste of time.

>Netflix

Now that Dragon's Dogma is coming to PS4, all that's left is to get Demon's Souls on there, then it won't matter.

>PSNow is a waste of time.
Not to mention an insanely offensive ripoff.

How it didn't kill Sony, or at least piss off the entire internet, is beyond me.

PS3 is still getting big games in some markets like FIFA and PES.

I would hardly call annual sports titles big releases, but they do sell enough i suppose. If we count those then the last PS2 games didn't come out until 2011

If the scorpio were actually fully backwards compatible, I'd buy one.

>Launch fat still works, ps2 games and all.
>In 2012 it booted very slowly and sometimes crashed
>worried the soldier joints were finally finished
>swapped in a unused 500GB HDD due to suggestion of a friend
>thing works excellent as always since then

Kids, make sure to change the HDD in old ps3s, those things are tiny n tired.

Is it better for a phat PS3's longevity to sit tall or flat?

PS2 got Fifa updates until 2014. What of it?

tall. leaving it flat means that the heat generated from the bottom will transfer to the floor surface. if you have a glass table or something else it could cause the console to heat up more than normal.

You are stupid man, i brought a used PS3 for P5 and now enjoying th erest of the library for super cheap.

>tall
>if you have a glass table or something else it could cause the console to heat up more than normal
I just put mine on stilts. Shit's six years old and still working fine. It's not a 1st gen though, if that's what "fat" means.

PS4 version is objectively the best version.
>1080P
>Remote play support
>Improved load times
>No framedrops

At least this thing can play Future Tone. Although if Sega ever ports project diva to PC I'll probably just dumpster my ps4.

None of this make a real difference.

>ps3 outlived Wii U

lel

Cool, thanks. Glad that I've been keeping it tall then.
Had mine for seven years now and only somewhat recently became concerned about proper upkeep.
I almost shit myself when I learned you're supposed to vacuum it.

personally I have a glass table underneath my television so the table surface heats up when my PS3 is on. to fix this I just put my PS3 ontop of a laptop cooling mat. when the ps3 turns on, the 5v power from the USB port powers on the the cooling mat which helps keep it cool.

It does actually. Persona has a lot of loading screens so the extra seconds shaved off each one saves you a lot of time overall. Improved frame pacing also makes the game feel smoother. And I don't have to tell you that 1080p makes text a lot sharper when this is a text heavy game.

But it did? People voted with their wallets, and there aren't many games being put on there.

Rpcs3 will shit on it, give it ten years

Then p5 crimson will be out

>vita outsold wiiu

Time to buy a PS3, I guess

Wii Mini is still in production in Europe.

If Scorpio could play Xbox and 360 libraries without buggy, shit emulation, I'd buy the fuck out of one.

>no Xbox emulator
>two Xbox Huegs are slowly dying
>had three 360s break
>fuck the Xbone, not getting my money this time

>But it did?
Did it?
It seems to have a lot of games on it, and I never hear anyone talk about it.

Given that Persona 4 golden came out 4 years after the original. We don't have to wait 10 years for the best version.

If your PS3 is really old, you should consider changing the thermal paste inside. The one Sony uses is cheap ass quality and most likely applied very sloppily. Many fat PS3s have died just because the thermal paste dried up on the RSX and games overheat the chip to the point it melts the solder.

The Wii U was hilarious in that Nintendo actually expected to sell 90-100 million of them much like the Wii

Most people mainly just said "I'm not gonna bother using it."
Despite Sony getting more games on board the service, most of the games are multiplats that can be played elsewhere.

>cherrypicking to make yourself feel superior
Is your cock the only thing you like to stroke more than your ego?

>gen 7 is +10 years old
>they no longer make the 360 and the PS3

Are there any guides you'd recommend to make sure I don't fuck it up?

When will /vint/ come back

just look up any guide how to take apart your ps3 model online and do what they do. change the thermal paste like you would on a PC, use a good quality paste (artic silver) and apply a pea sized drop in the middle. if you need help putting it back together, follow the taking apart steps in reverse.

>browses a video game board
>doesn't know what's going on in the industry
What a fucking faggot
BC on the bone is a software thing, they need permission from publishers, devs, etc.
There are no signs of HUEG compatibility. Stop spreading misinformation

Thanks
I'm just nervous because I've never built a computer or taken a console apart before.

RIP little guy ;_;7

I got in the beta before it launched and I was pretty impressed with how little latency it had so it's not actually a bad idea or bad in practice, but the price is way, way too much for what it is. That's probably why it doesn't get a bunch of shit from everyone.

>Wii Mini is still in production in Europe.
PS3 Super Slim is still in production in NA and EU.

the ps3 outlived the wii AND wii u.

if you know how to use a screwdriver, you can do it! after you take it part, changing the paste is easy. here's how it works on a slim.

Your confidence is infectious, thank you.

>tfw working First Gen PS3
>It's been modifed with better cooling and didnt get Yellow Led of Death after 4 years of constant using

Damn i need a new ps3 controller

Touche.

Never had one
should i buy a used one? for like 50$

never because
>we'll never shitposters be easily discarded due to the country their ip is from, and other forms of banter again

>tfw poorfag and still only have a ps3

You might want to act fast, because scalpers can bump that price up, and if people still are buying from Gamestop, never expect them to sell it close to that price once they become a rarity.

Too bad I'll never like or want the PS4 more than I did the PS3. Nothing seems worth trading free online and a good library for paid online with ports and remasters with the occasional worthwhile exclusive.

does ps3 has better exclusives than the 360 my friend got a 360 with everything included guitar etc for like 35$

No, and PS3 actually has the fewest exclusives out off the 7th gen consoles

PS3 has weebshit galore and LittleBigPlanet, so it depends on what you're into.

The 360 had some exclusive gems, but the mass bulk of games from it are all multiplatform titles. For both consoles you are comparing. If anything, the PS3 has a lot more games than the 360's library. Not counting the myriads from the old Indie section it once had.

depends what kind of games youre into. the ps3 has a ton of exclusive "weebshit" games.

dont listen to . he only thinks normie american games exist.

Huh, you're right. But do Kinect games really count?

I should buy one and just keep it in the box to make sure I'll be able to play it for another 10 years. Once I'm in my mid 30s I won't give a shit about video games though.

That depends. Do PlayStation Move games count?
