The information I can find is conflicting.
So, those who know #PS3...
I have a BC fat. It runs, it plays.
Should I enjoy it as is till it stops working and then delid to fix overheating, or should I take the risk of delidding to PREVENT overheating?
I'm leaning towards the latter, as all of these WILL overheat eventually, and hot chips are bad.
I am terrified of working on this thing. I got it for an insane deal a while back.

Gaming news today: "Sony is rolling out animated backgrounds on Playstation 5"
We already have animated backgrounds on Playstation 3 since... 2009. Glad the #PS5 is catching up with the latest technology
Here is quick clip from the dynamic Persona 5 Makoto Niijima PS3 theme, it also has sounds from the game.
Edit: there are 9 different Persona 5 themes for PS3, preview:

Volatile Games had big ambitions with the lost Hannibal the Conqueror for #PS3, #Xbox360 and #PC. A game with almost no trace left, except for one trailer at this moment in time. What was the to entail and how far did it get before cancellation?

Well, that's not good.
And here I was marveling at how well this damn near 20-year-old console was working just yesterday.
Today's #PSone Classics on #PS3 #XMB Game Preview is from Vagrant Story, a game originally developed and published by Square, and released on #PlayStation3 in 2009. This game preview has no sound.

In my ever-lasting quest to find fun consoles, this custom #PlayStation3 showed up. User 'cribsnib' customizes these to look as similar to their classic #PS3 look as possible, and it's incredible how well they did!
Separating, sanding, priming, painting and clear-coating. "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 '𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘺' 𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘺𝘭 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦"
From a hardware #design perspective, this is pure art to me. Am I tempted? Yes.

Didn't GT5 on #PS3 also offer a "rear view mirror" function with a connected #PSP, or did I imagine that?

Sooooo.... Watching some Cold Case steaming through the PS3 now, as I need to charge the controllers, and my USB cables are too short for me to play while they are connected.
Unfortunately, the PS3 controllers can't be charged with a normal USB charger. For some reason they need to be connected to the PS3 while it's on... So yeah, if the system needs to be on anyway, best use it to watch something.
Owwww and... I hooked up the PS2 to the HDMI converter, and I hooked that up to the switch and... It works!
There's no fancy upscaling in my converter, it was too cheap for that. But hey, it works, so now I can use the PS2 on the big telly.
The CSI game was apparently still in the drive, so when I tried it, that's what the PS2 loaded up...

So, the different HDMI cable didn't help... I tried to switch the Blu-ray with the PS3, and... The PS3 works on the HDMI switch. Yay!
The controller I grabbed was as dead as could be, so it's charging now.
And for some reason, the automatic time settings were way off... So I did a manual one instead.
There are some games installed on the HD, and I have a few disc games too... So when the controller has been charged, I could game on the PS3 again.
Hopefully next week, I can attach the Wii and the PS2 as well.

Using #RetroDECK on my #SteamDeck to emulate anything from the beginning of consoles up to even the #PS3 and #Xbox - or my favorite - the Nintendo Switch makes me so happy.
Plus, the UI of RetroDECK is SO DAMN PRETTY!
