      Great video… I highly recommend the Dynasty Warriors GUNDAM series, if you’re into Mechs of course.

    Why I bought a PS3 in 2024: because my Super Slim's WiFi and Bluetooth died. And on that model, those components soldered to the motherboard, making a repair expensive and tricky (Be aware of that since you got the Super Slim).
    So I just bought another one, a Slim this time, for much less than repairing the Super Slim would cost, plus I was still given 5 years of warranty over it.
    Meaning the PS6 will be released and my "new" PS3 will still be in warranty 😂
