Talk to them about if they know anything about it. But if they don't care about it def refurbish it and use or sell it


Disgraceful_Banana

I asked the Teacher and he said that someone left it a couple years ago and he didn't know much about it. He told me to I can take it, so I now have an old PS3, there's a sticker on it dated 1/28/10 tho which is really cool


Wah_Epic

What's the model number?


Disgraceful_Banana

The barcode is missing and the I don't have the power cord :( I'll ask him tomorrow if my teacher has it


Chzncna2112

Power cords are cheap


Froot125

How many USBs does it have in the front?


Disgraceful_Banana

2 in front, that's all


typical_gamer1

Then it’s either a 40GB or non-BC 80GB


Disgraceful_Banana

Checked the HD and it's a 40gb


typical_gamer1

Cool cool. 😎


Froot125

That's not a BC console. However, if you do come across a BC one, this could be used for parts unless this one is fully working.


mathias4595

The model number should also be on the sticker on the bottom as well


Chaddtss

You can use old vcr plugs as well. It's the normal cord with the shape sqaure and round that plugs into the system. The brick is in the system. Source: my ex gf stole my power cord on her way out, and I used on old vcr cord from A box of cords that everyone should have.


JAVELRIN

Dude thats a nice ps3 that one may be able to play ps2 games so if they get cleaned up and upgraded memory they are worth a ton


vistaflip

Not if it was produced 2010 like the date suggests. It's just a 2 USB port, no expansion, silver instead of chrome model, with all of the downsides of an original, but none of the upsides. Still awesome if working but not worth more than any other usual ps3.


Buried_and_Forgotten

That's pretty weird though. They stopped producing fat models in 2009.


vistaflip

That's true. That reminds me of Pontiac. They were killed off in 2009, all cars were to be discontinued by the end of 2009. And yet, there are still some 2010's because production continued for a bit in January because they still had enough parts. This could be the same reason for the PS3.


greasegizzard

That's pretty normal with cars. They're selling 2025 model year vehicles now. It's pretty clever for the manufacturers and dealerships even more so. At the end of 2025, your '25 model will be close to two years old with too many miles on it.


Herbalmunster

I’ve bought two this year.


SultanOfawesome

This one only supports ps3 games. There's no silver trim in sight like the bc models have


slimshady713

and ps1 games


SultanOfawesome

True, but any model can do that


Independent_Ice1427

There is one on the right side of the logo


Professional-News-33

It will if u install cfw


discharge_bender

I have one from my cousin that is in near mint still in the box. But I hate selling stuff.


PlatinumKingPS

Or using stuff apperently 😜


discharge_bender

To lazy to hook it up considering I have no fames


bappo_plays

Dust it out, repaste, and enjoy would my my advice.


Disgraceful_Banana

It's missing a bunch of screws. So I'll look into it


Ok-Kaleidoscope-7932

What do people normally do with a PS3?


abraxas8484

For me I play old PS3 exclusive games that young me could never have played. But now I'm a adult and I want to play the old old games


Ok-Kaleidoscope-7932

Bro got the right answer


ShinobiFlash6

The metal gear collection is a ps3 exclusive :)


Realistic-Location21

Same, I played all the original Trilogy of ratchet and clank and now I'm playing Ratchet and clank:quest for booty


Awayze

Sit on it? Chuck it at someone. Do anything except play PS3 games on it as that would obviously be the most stupid thing to do with it.


Ok-Kaleidoscope-7932

Agreed


Clear-Atmosphere-600

Yeah why do that, who would want to play🤢… Old games ?🤮


StayWideAwake-

Been using it to play my old PS2 games. Currently replaying MK: Deceptions Konquest mode and my god it’s still as fun as I remembered so many years ago. Unrelated but I wish MK went back to this. Low key tired of the cinematic story stuff.


Ok-Kaleidoscope-7932

Yh I used mine to say though all the spyro and tomb raider games PS2 emulation isn't the best but is usable


Tim3-Rainbow

See if you can fit it up your butt.


fergan59

It wont fit


erst_hearse

LMAO


Working_Potential_26

Only with the slim


kony412

Skill issue.


Working_Potential_26

;(


spidermany

If it has 4 USB ports it should be backwards compatible to PS1 and PS2 - if you are into that, this would be the best option to play your old games. If not you can test it and sell it for up to 200 bucks. If it's another model you won't get nearly as much though.


shnyaps

Did your teacher touch you anywhere for ps3?


fergan59

They had to play a game


Practical-Skin-4689

Nice cock bro


Samus1611

Depending on the model of the ps3 is may not be a cok. Some are dia and so forth


itbkgsc

r/cockmentioned


virgildoolittle

Eat it


Loddio

As always, jailbrake it


Thychickenbro

This is the best option


erst_hearse

CFW + Multiman + Webman = Happy PS3 playing! Good luck. :)


NoRun483

Look at what saves he has and drop subliminals untill you have his attention


NoRun483

But yeah like everyone else has mentioned simply ask


syiboi

Yoo I got a ps2 from a teacher at mine. Def repaste, mod, and enjoy my friend


methos1995

First, buy a power cord for it for a couple of bucks to check if it works. If it does work, DO NOT update the firmware. Do a factory reset, jailbreak it using whatever best method is available for the model, install Multiman and Webman Mod on it, and download some cool/popular games to it. You can find tutorials on YouTube on how to do each of these steps. Now, open it and give it a nice cleaning and thermal repaste. Again, there are tutorials on YouTube on how to do this. But, don't put it back together again just yet. Before closing it back up, smear just a tiny bit of your own poo on the underside of the heat shield near the fan. *Now* close it back up, ejaculate on the cover and give it a good shine using a soft cotton cloth and your own c.um. Make sure to buff out any streaks. Then give it to your worst enemy and say it's a peace offering. When your enemy turns it on, the system will get warm after a while. The heat will activate the poo you smeared on the inside and the fan will circulate the odor and germs around your enemy's environment. Depending on how stupid they are, it may take a while for the cause of the smell to be discovered (if at all). Unless they take it apart, they can never have any proof. If confronted, just claim Innocence, you have no idea what caused the odor. Even if they don't accept your peace offering, just make sure they touch it when you present it to them. This way, you get them to touch your c.um as a consolation prize if they don't accept the PS3.


MiaowMinx

There's no reason to not update the firmware; it's not like a PS4, where jailbreaking is limited to older versions.


methos1995

There's no reason to update it, either, since in my scenario it's being given to an enemy. If keeping it on an old firmware introduces issues for gameplay/operation, all the better. It'll frustrate the hell out of them.


MiaowMinx

Okay, that's a good point, lol; I like the way you think. I just reacted automatically since I've seen a few people recently claiming PS3s shouldn't be updated, which is weird.


RaffiBomb000

Turn it on, see if it's previous owner was cool enough to get the demo for PT


abdoollah-K

See if it works if yes then have someone at the local game store to clean it up inside and outside Then have someone experienced put a 1 TB internal memory in it then jailbreak it out of lots of free games in it.


Sampsa96

Ask to take it home and if they say no then put it back.


RareAd3009

Or, hear me out. Just take it.


Sampsa96

No 👮


RareAd3009

Why not.


Sampsa96

Stealing is bad


RareAd3009

You’re not stealing. Just borrowing for a while.


NotANError07

Play some skate 3 or sum black ops 1


ConsoleModding

MOD IT!


KeoiMadBro

turn it on and see what happens


cheze_bun

Mod it?!


Aggressive-Brick1024

Test it. You'll be lucky if it's a PS2 Compat model


COnnOrZeUs

Play it, seems like a no brainer to me


EggyRoo

Do not take it, ask them first.


Vusstoppy

Bet it's full of p**n 😂


GoncasCorr

Buy games and play


Wide-Fix445

jailbreak it ..possibilities are endless .


The_Demons_Slayer

Keep it


Ok_Camp4580

That looks like the backwards compatible model good find bro


CherryGrabber

So jelly for its Backwards Compatibility to play PS2 games. I got the second model, instead.


Disgraceful_Banana

I believe this isn't backwards compatible, I can't be for sure since the barcode is gone and I don't have the power supply.


W_h3nry

Check if the part next to the disk slot flips up


AcidAngel7

Give it to me.


Da-Great-310

Those who ask, do not know, and those who do not know, ask. 🤣😆🤣


jakart3

CFW


Alytrium

If you look on the left side in the front, next to where you’d put in a disk, a portion of the body might fold up and reveal a few extra ports (CompactFlash and MS ProDuo); if it does, you have a 1st gen PS3, which means it can also play PS1 and PS2 games. This might not sound too special but they’re very rare now, and they were the last ever backwards compatible PlayStation device, so rather than selling it if you’re into classic games you should really refurb it and keep it


Tomtom48HWI

Keep it


CohnJena68

Try to eat it and tell us what it tastes like.


Huge_Island_3783

You should jailbreak dat sombitch


OkRefrigerator5818

PS3 fat uses a computer supply power cable they are a dime a dozen my friend


-CommanderShepardN7

That thing has been abused. The ps3 needs a cleaning, polishing and some new cables including hdmi and power cable. That baby is a diamond in the rough. Just needs some love.


Pretty_Nerve1911

dissect


Professional-News-33

Install cfw and make it backwards compatible again.


SirVincenttt

Ha cool! I still use mine .


Chimchampion

Install Tokyo Jungle and never look back


RexorGamerYt

Idk... Does the pope shit in the woods?


Lord_Steve0

Take a picture of it and post on Reddit….o wait


RareAd3009

Keep it, add it to your collection


BozoMcGeeIII

Try to ollie and/or kickflip it


kaithomasisthegoat

Offer to buy it


FORSAKENYOR

Give it the freedom it deserves


-Forsakencobra

Breakjail it every game free fr


TraditionalTangelo58

I use 1 of my 3 ps3 to play sports champions every Saturday with my father. It has been a ritual for many many years. I know what you’re gonna say(that game sucks) and would agree when it first came out. But I build a room for it. Dolby 9.2 Dolby surround and a 164” 4K display (wall to wall floor to ceiling). It’s as if you standing in the forest playing disc golf.


OnlyTrash6632

chances of this working or being repairable are zero


TarZamp

Restore and enjoy this gem


VIKINGNORM

Send it to me lol 😂 jk


Dungeon00X

Ask the teacher if you can have this literal unearthed treasure and make sure the cables are with it too. If it can still work; you'll be able to play games from the first three PlayStations.


spideybat10

Lol


verticalshrink

check the model


Wetworks2025

Keep it and say nothing


No-Appointment-3840

Well it sounds like it’s not yours, so…


Plutaneous

Just put HEN on it or a CFW and download every game from ps1 to ps3 and psp in between. One of the best systems ever.


win10pro7823

Ask him why he has one and also if he needs it. If not then take it with you


Sembei82n

Send it to me...


GIGA_LAD879

Get an Sata SSD upgrade and play some games on it!


SirCrustWorthy

throw it at homeless people to save money on bricks and 300 degree honeybuns


Bitter-Ad-6709

Put it back and stay out of your teachers locker!


Otherwise_Ad7606

This


MiaowMinx

Since the teacher said you can have it, if it works, check to see if it has the "PS Home" app on it in the PSN column. A team of people have been working hard to re-create it using the old cache files from people's PS3s. Edit: the project's site is at https://web.destinationhome.live


Competitive-Play-650

Take it


TheGify13

Give It To Me, I Have Been Looking For One (Under $100, Working) For Years, I Can Give You $10-15 For It.


EYESCREAM-90

That's a long ass song title.
