Pre-ordering is definitely a drag. But in this case it was worth it.

I dont know why I got a 14 year old video with less than 20k views reccomended to me, but I glad i watched this. the nostalgia!😍 I honestly miss these times man
Actually a lot more people back then had good sound systems as opposed today. These days most people care about minimalist design in their homes and at most use some crappy sound bar instead of a good stereo system.
Anyone else feel old looking back at 2006 and it looks like how we used to think of the 80s. Absolutely wild, feels like almost yesterday i was booting up my ps3 to play resident evil 5
Nah. Gaming did not change much since 2006. But the difference in games between 1985 and 1995 is super huge and might never be the same in the past 2010s.
What a beautiful console. The fact you could put in your PS1 and 2 games and play with no problems (in the first version) was so cool... I'll never forget my days with the PS3.
I had the later console with less HDD space and no PS2 ability. Even had less ports to connect things. I was amazed when I saw an earlier one up close and you could open the lid at the front.
I still have my original fat PS3 (but the revision model manufactured in feb. 2007 that came with a much better 19-blade fan for more cooling) and I still use it daily. I will cherish this console until the day I die. Play all my ps1, ps2 and ps3 games in one system was a godsend
I remember getting this as a high school graduation gift in 2007. Like every PlayStation system, I had a blast with this one. Thanks for capturing this when you did!

Thank you TH-cam for actually recommending something that I want to see even if it’s 16yr later. This is amazing and this is great intro for the time even today. This has so much nostalgia power I was just froze .
I’ll never forget my first night with the ps3. My brother and I pulled an all nighter and tried Project 8, Def Jam icon, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Resistance: Fall of Man and fell in love. Felt like we were living in the future.
What was your favorite game(s)? I have so many ps3 games and have only played maybe 40/250+. Looking to play some fun solo games I might've missed on PS3
@@JihadMeAtHelllo damn mate idk. COD MW2 probably got the most play time out of me but I’ve never actually decided on a favorite. Dead Space 1 and Resistance 1 are definitely contenders but I also think of games like Skate 2, MGS4, Battlefield Bad Company and Resident Evil 5. That generation just felt like the future and every new game that came out impressed and grabbed me. It’s been so long that I honestly can’t think of many stand out titles right now. Just got home and checked my collection in the basement. Little big planet, Guitar Hero World Tour/rockband 1+2, fight night round 3, burnout paradise, rainbow six Vegas 1+2, Mortal Kombat 9, and obviously Skyrim and the last of us are probably all my top games that I’ve owned and played through. God damn what a generation that was
@@user-wp4jw5it5z it was optional actually. I remember some games like Battlefield 3 and GTA5 needed the install disks for the Xbox 360 but that’s was only about it.
I still remember when I got my PS3 and man, those were the days. God of War 3, Resistance, Fallout 3, GTA4, Heavenly Sword, Mortal Kombat 9, Red Dead Redemption, Mirror's Edge and Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, just to name a few. I'm telling you, never have I ever had so much joy as during those days.
Seeing this video filled me with so much nostalgia and I didn't even own a PS3 growing up (I had a 360). All my friends had one though and I remember having lots of fun playing Mod Nation Racers and LBP. :)
i was 15/16 at the time and it literally feels like just a few years ago, i still consider the game he played (resistance) to be current/new gen, and it is on my list of games to eventually finish. i feel like a huge boomer now. also crazy to think that GTA 5 originally released on this same console.
Sadly none of us here are getting any younger at this point. There’ll be moments in our life that we’ll never get back, but at least we can cherish the memories had in our lives.
I hate how I was still basically an infant during this decade. I would have loved to live more of a life in the 2000s. Stuff like this just makes me want that more.
@@redacted90 - I remember getting my first LCD TV (a 32-inch Toshiba) and playing Oblivion and Guild Wars at 1080p for hundreds of hours back in 2007. It was heaven. Funny thing about the good times, you don't realize how good they are until they're past.
@@Zzz-xv1qb I was born that year too, and the early 2010s to me felt like some kind of extension to the 2000s, which is very odd. Despite it being a post-smartphone era, where TH-cam and Twitter were in their infancy, shows like Adventure Time and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic were new and in their prime, and most analog TVs got replaced with digital TVs that support HD and maybe a 16:9 ratio instead of a 4:3 ratio, as well as a lot of channels rebranding around this time (Such as all of the Nick-related channels, CN, and even Disney Channel. Disney XD replaced Toon Disney, Disney Junior replaced Playhouse Disney, and The Hub Network (now known at Discovery Family) replaced Discovery Kids.), there were some artifacts around that time that still made it felt like the 2000s to some extent. I still used a PS2 during the early 2010s, while most other gamers would play on their Wii, Xbox 360, or PS3, which were still 2000s consoles. I also played DS games on my 3DS, as well as my sister's DSi. I would also play games online as well, as flash games still existed back then and were still fairly popular (Remember Super Brawl 2 or Club Penguin?), as well as a good amount of sites still using flash. Also flip-phones were fading out in favor for smartphones, which at the time had a skeuomorphic look to them. Netflix and Hulu were the only two in the streaming wars before others came along (as well as Amazon Instant Video). Everything overall just felt better back then.
If this video feels ancient, just remember that games like GTA 5, The Last of Us, and Skyrim all came out on this console.... you know... the games that have been re-released countless times since.
Now that infinite possibilities of technology have arrived, it seems like nobody is interested in using it. A bit like staring at the library and playing nothing.
Well they came out really late into the consoles life cycle, good attempt at trying to make kids feel old though, if I'm not mistaken the last of us came out in 2013?
I dont know if he is aware but this guy is so lucky he experienced something like this. The video reminds me of my poverty days back then. My family basically couldnt even afford ps1 let alone something like new coming out as ps3, I was always watching my friends playing on computers and consoles and envying them. Whenever a new console or a pc part came out, I wanted to buy them so much but never was able to do it. Now I can get whatever I want but now there is little excitement/fun compared to back then. 2000's definitely had a different aurora.
Ahhhh the memories of 2006, the days when Nintendo Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 were out and played for the first time ever. I was in 4th grade when these consoles came out, while being 6 years old when the sixth generation came out. The 7th generation would most likely be the last generation that I ever bought consoles on, before I moved on to PC gaming in the 2010s up into today.
I was too young to remember this thing's launch, but man did this thing give me countless hours of fun as a kid. One day we might look at the PS5 in the same historical way we look at this, and that's a horrifying thought.
So beautiful! when i was a kid i dreamed with buy this model of ps3, finally with the pass of the years my parents gifted me the slim version. it was beautiful years of fun with friends, always grateful of my parents :')
Everything from the Adio shoes to the of the year Jaguar, to the Flat screen with an Xbox 360, only to go on and buy a new release date ps3, this man was and probably still is living like a king
everything he had (besides the PS3) was reasonably priced at the time, not like now i forget the exact prices, but i was looking at that same jaguar for my first car around 06 and i remember 2-5 year old ones being very affordable. meanwhile today it seems like a used toyota that is not 25 years old will start at 20k, and i bet a 2-5 year old jaguar costs a fortune now.
I love the startup sound. Also i like the part where it shows "playstation 3" when you open a game with the chime sound. I showed this to my father and he remembers all the sound because he used to have a ps3
That feels so nostalgic in some way, i remember so many memories i had with this. I first played it around 2012 i think, i was 6. Now 10 years later, it hits. Hardly
Adio footwear, and one of most refined and solid eras in video gaming. Just two small examples of how 2000s really was the peak of western culture. So many things from then have had a lasting impact, I think it'll always be 2006 in my mind. RIP the good ole days.
The fact that he booted up Resistance Fall of Man ❤️ That was the first game I played on PS3, Christmas Day '06, my dad tricked me into believing "Japan stopped shipping PS3's over buddy so nobody's going to able to get them!" I bought it hook line and sinker as a 7yo kid, so when I opened that up I shit myself harder than almost any other Christmas, then I opened up Resistance/Madden & NCAA '07/Uncharted/Godfather Don's Edition/COD 3 & COD 4 MW, it's mind boggling to look back and see how fan-fucking-tastic games were 😖
@gaelenski_ Literally every single game I listed came out that year 🗿 Edit: Other than COD 4 MW which came out in 2007, so I just simply confused when I got that game.
My overriding memory of the first day of using my PS3 is how insanely long it took to update and then set up PSN. Even by the PS5, I was still half-expecting to be waiting all day to actually be able to use the thing.
The 00s really went flying, even more than 80-90s life. We are living in the most vertiginous and hasty era of all time, not saying that in a bad mood, that's just how life is with all the exponential technology we have had since the 2000s, computers and stuff. Great things among them, but I really love the simpler and wild era between the 2000s altough I was an infant at that time. Now everything is made safe, company reviewed, for revenue, hypersocialization, algorithms...just imagine centuries ago you could live more or less the same way your childern, grandchildren and beyond would live. Crazy the era we live
If a game is in the drive it will automatically boot the game up when the power is turned on. To get to the XMB, all you need to do is hit the PS button in the middle of the controller and chose to end the game. If the drive is empty, the system goes to the XMB. When you insert a game disc, you need to highlight it and select it before the game will run.
This video, shot on digital tape, needing to convert it and take over the entire hard drive to then encode to youtube must've been 20+ hours of work. 18 years later (Nov 2024) we thank you
If I recall correctly, I believe the first time I turned on and used my ps3, I was also on one of those old box televisions lol. That was wayyyy before i started using HDMI permanently. Glad I still have and use my ps3 from time to time. Great system. I'll never get rid of it for as long as it's functional.
Its called a crt television, they are the best. We got rid of all our flatscreens cuz of how bad quality they are and got 2 crt televisions and 1 HD crt (like the one in this video)
@@timnergaard3831 wth is a mini led tv, also crt's just as good as oleds, plus im not gonna get rid of something thats working. sure a flatscreen might have better picture quality but im keeping my crt's until they die, if it didnt that would be a waste of money.

I’ll never forget my first night with the ps3. My brother and I pulled an all nighter and tried Project 8, Def Jam icon, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Resistance: Fall of Man and fell in love. Felt like we were living in the future.
Your first night with PS3?? Sounds SUS to me
@@zeddmikebro you're the kind of person to call every little thing sus
What was your favorite game(s)? I have so many ps3 games and have only played maybe 40/250+. Looking to play some fun solo games I might've missed on PS3
@@JihadMeAtHelllo damn mate idk. COD MW2 probably got the most play time out of me but I’ve never actually decided on a favorite. Dead Space 1 and Resistance 1 are definitely contenders but I also think of games like Skate 2, MGS4, Battlefield Bad Company and Resident Evil 5. That generation just felt like the future and every new game that came out impressed and grabbed me. It’s been so long that I honestly can’t think of many stand out titles right now.
Just got home and checked my collection in the basement. Little big planet, Guitar Hero World Tour/rockband 1+2, fight night round 3, burnout paradise, rainbow six Vegas 1+2, Mortal Kombat 9, and obviously Skyrim and the last of us are probably all my top games that I’ve owned and played through. God damn what a generation that was
Mine was Red Dead Redemption. I pumped 100+ hours into that game.
Every time I watch a video from back in the day about the Playstation 3, I boot up my original console, and the nostalgia flows through my body.
0:39 Remember when you could just plop a game in like that and you we're playing?
My cousin pooda had one a ps3 those were the days man
Yep. This was both the last of that era and the first of you had to wait to play. Kinda changed half way through the lifecycle.
@@user-wp4jw5it5z it was optional actually. I remember some games like Battlefield 3 and GTA5 needed the install disks for the Xbox 360 but that’s was only about it.
@Lucas no. Only installing update data to the console was necessary
started in that era though lol
2000-2006 feels and looks like 90s
The 90's only lived in 1988-1997. 1998-2007 were aesthetically and culturally the 2000's. So this feels like the 2000's.
Yes
These are memories that will remain in my heart until death
I still remember when I got my PS3 and man, those were the days.
God of War 3, Resistance, Fallout 3, GTA4, Heavenly Sword, Mortal Kombat 9, Red Dead Redemption, Mirror's Edge and Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, just to name a few.
I'm telling you, never have I ever had so much joy as during those days.
yes god of war 3 blew my mind, i still think its the best one in the series.
What about Ratchet and Clank or Little Big Planet?
@@xboxed720 Did not play Ratchet and Clank until much later, but Little Big Planet as well. My dude, you're so right, how could I forget about it?!
Back when new game consoles felt like a real upgrade and not just an SSD swap.
Best recommendation and 2006 upload, god I miss those times
Bro the ps3 is going to be 20 years old soon 😮 fuck me, time flies 😅
Seeing this video filled me with so much nostalgia and I didn't even own a PS3 growing up (I had a 360). All my friends had one though and I remember having lots of fun playing Mod Nation Racers and LBP. :)
November 29th 2024 , watching this feels like going back in time ❤ love the TH-cam recommandation
i don't know why this video popped up in my youtube.
but man i miss the old days
It’s insane how time flies. I was 4 years old when this video came out and now I’m already in my 20s.
I was 2 months old lol
i was 15/16 at the time and it literally feels like just a few years ago, i still consider the game he played (resistance) to be current/new gen, and it is on my list of games to eventually finish.
i feel like a huge boomer now.
also crazy to think that GTA 5 originally released on this same console.
Sadly none of us here are getting any younger at this point. There’ll be moments in our life that we’ll never get back, but at least we can cherish the memories had in our lives.
I was 12, man... I wish I could go back and play Metal Gear Solid 4 and Little Big Planet for the first time again! 😢
@@crazedlunatic43 you are so cringe my guy.
Seeing a 16 year old recommended TH-cam video in the wild is rare. Needs to happen more often. This was awesome.
This is pure nostalgia, happened to me again recently with the ps5. Good times
TH-cam is a godam timetravel machine. I was only 2 years when this video came out but godam do I get nostalgia for stuff I never got to experience.
I was like 11 or 12 when TH-cam came out. It's crazy looking back. Went by fast
Under a million views almost 18 years later?! This is an absolute gem this should have way more views!
I hate how I was still basically an infant during this decade. I would have loved to live more of a life in the 2000s. Stuff like this just makes me want that more.
I still remember that classic Panasonic surround sound set top box, with a zenith 56in plasma TV, and a PS2. good times.
@@MarcABrown-tt1fp That sounds amazing, honestly. What I would give for something like that lol.
@@redacted90 - I remember getting my first LCD TV (a 32-inch Toshiba) and playing Oblivion and Guild Wars at 1080p for hundreds of hours back in 2007. It was heaven. Funny thing about the good times, you don't realize how good they are until they're past.
@@Kryptic1046 True...
@@Zzz-xv1qb I was born that year too, and the early 2010s to me felt like some kind of extension to the 2000s, which is very odd. Despite it being a post-smartphone era, where TH-cam and Twitter were in their infancy, shows like Adventure Time and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic were new and in their prime, and most analog TVs got replaced with digital TVs that support HD and maybe a 16:9 ratio instead of a 4:3 ratio, as well as a lot of channels rebranding around this time (Such as all of the Nick-related channels, CN, and even Disney Channel. Disney XD replaced Toon Disney, Disney Junior replaced Playhouse Disney, and The Hub Network (now known at Discovery Family) replaced Discovery Kids.), there were some artifacts around that time that still made it felt like the 2000s to some extent. I still used a PS2 during the early 2010s, while most other gamers would play on their Wii, Xbox 360, or PS3, which were still 2000s consoles. I also played DS games on my 3DS, as well as my sister's DSi. I would also play games online as well, as flash games still existed back then and were still fairly popular (Remember Super Brawl 2 or Club Penguin?), as well as a good amount of sites still using flash. Also flip-phones were fading out in favor for smartphones, which at the time had a skeuomorphic look to them. Netflix and Hulu were the only two in the streaming wars before others came along (as well as Amazon Instant Video). Everything overall just felt better back then.
If this video feels ancient, just remember that games like GTA 5, The Last of Us, and Skyrim all came out on this console.... you know... the games that have been re-released countless times since.
i'd argue that is less emblematic of how it wasn't that long ago and more emblematic of the greed and laziness of the AAA games industry these days.
Also the fact that it was already several years old by the time all those came out
Now that infinite possibilities of technology have arrived, it seems like nobody is interested in using it. A bit like staring at the library and playing nothing.
gta 5 and skyrim came out like several years later and still played just fine
Well they came out really late into the consoles life cycle, good attempt at trying to make kids feel old though, if I'm not mistaken the last of us came out in 2013?
I dont know if he is aware but this guy is so lucky he experienced something like this. The video reminds me of my poverty days back then. My family basically couldnt even afford ps1 let alone something like new coming out as ps3, I was always watching my friends playing on computers and consoles and envying them. Whenever a new console or a pc part came out, I wanted to buy them so much but never was able to do it. Now I can get whatever I want but now there is little excitement/fun compared to back then. 2000's definitely had a different aurora.
That sam raimi spiderman text 🔥
0:32 Look at that, not a single scratch
Just look how amazing it was when people open up their first PS3.
Ahhhh the memories of 2006, the days when Nintendo Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 were out and played for the first time ever. I was in 4th grade when these consoles came out, while being 6 years old when the sixth generation came out. The 7th generation would most likely be the last generation that I ever bought consoles on, before I moved on to PC gaming in the 2010s up into today.
It’s hard to imagine a glossy shiny ps3 nowadays to me. I can only imagine how many scratches that console will have had acquired by now
Something so nostalgic and meta about hearing the FF1 nes overworld theme being used in a 2006 PS3 launch video. It’s like two layers of classic!
I never thought I'd get so nostalgic about the mid 2000's
This is so nostalgic
Early gaming video quality from 2000s
Damn man, nice setup.
Huh what
@@waterman.9056 lol it was a nice setup for the time
makes me miss the 2000s... lol
@@Agos226 same here man lol
2024.
17 years? This hits hard.
I was too young to remember this thing's launch, but man did this thing give me countless hours of fun as a kid. One day we might look at the PS5 in the same historical way we look at this, and that's a horrifying thought.
So beautiful! when i was a kid i dreamed with buy this model of ps3, finally with the pass of the years my parents gifted me the slim version. it was beautiful years of fun with friends, always grateful of my parents :')
Everything from the Adio shoes to the of the year Jaguar, to the Flat screen with an Xbox 360, only to go on and buy a new release date ps3, this man was and probably still is living like a king
everything he had (besides the PS3) was reasonably priced at the time, not like now
i forget the exact prices, but i was looking at that same jaguar for my first car around 06 and i remember 2-5 year old ones being very affordable.
meanwhile today it seems like a used toyota that is not 25 years old will start at 20k, and i bet a 2-5 year old jaguar costs a fortune now.
I love the startup sound.
Also i like the part where it shows "playstation 3" when you open a game with the chime sound.
I showed this to my father and he remembers all the sound because he used to have a ps3
Real new start up😂😂 old 😊
That feels so nostalgic in some way, i remember so many memories i had with this. I first played it around 2012 i think, i was 6. Now 10 years later, it hits. Hardly
I was 14 in 2012 bro. 6 in 2004. I was playing game cube OG xbox for my 7th bday 2005. Which I still have
@@flint9889 ok?
Back in days ,when you could buy new PlayStation in the stores
nah you still couldnt get them for a long time after launch... the only reason they stagger the launches now is to build massive hype for higher sales
nobody fighting to get in the door
Imagine this guys still upload till nowdays maybe he will become one of the best content creator in this year.
His last upload was 13 years ago
I wish to feel this feeling again.
Whew! That's good. You had me worried there for a sec. ;-)
Are you still alive
@@sva9629 wow 😂🤣
I loved the OG PS3. Had the Spider-Man font “PlayStation 3” was my favorite part of the aesthetic
Adio footwear, and one of most refined and solid eras in video gaming. Just two small examples of how 2000s really was the peak of western culture. So many things from then have had a lasting impact, I think it'll always be 2006 in my mind. RIP the good ole days.
2010s (before 2017): I'm the joke you?
The fact that he booted up Resistance Fall of Man ❤️ That was the first game I played on PS3, Christmas Day '06, my dad tricked me into believing "Japan stopped shipping PS3's over buddy so nobody's going to able to get them!" I bought it hook line and sinker as a 7yo kid, so when I opened that up I shit myself harder than almost any other Christmas, then I opened up Resistance/Madden & NCAA '07/Uncharted/Godfather Don's Edition/COD 3 & COD 4 MW, it's mind boggling to look back and see how fan-fucking-tastic games were 😖
Half those games weren’t even out Xmas 2006
@@gaelenski_ this is a psy op
@gaelenski_ Literally every single game I listed came out that year 🗿
Edit: Other than COD 4 MW which came out in 2007, so I just simply confused when I got that game.

@gaelenski_ There's nothing to check rtard lmao, every single game listed other than MW came out in 2006
Thank you so much for making this video! :-D
My overriding memory of the first day of using my PS3 is how insanely long it took to update and then set up PSN. Even by the PS5, I was still half-expecting to be waiting all day to actually be able to use the thing.
The 00s really went flying, even more than 80-90s life. We are living in the most vertiginous and hasty era of all time, not saying that in a bad mood, that's just how life is with all the exponential technology we have had since the 2000s, computers and stuff. Great things among them, but I really love the simpler and wild era between the 2000s altough I was an infant at that time. Now everything is made safe, company reviewed, for revenue, hypersocialization, algorithms...just imagine centuries ago you could live more or less the same way your childern, grandchildren and beyond would live. Crazy the era we live
If a game is in the drive it will automatically boot the game up when the power is turned on. To get to the XMB, all you need to do is hit the PS button in the middle of the controller and chose to end the game. If the drive is empty, the system goes to the XMB. When you insert a game disc, you need to highlight it and select it before the game will run.
Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info bro, can't wait for mw2 to come out

pro tip you can turn off disc auto start in the system settings!
The best era for PlayStation
This video, shot on digital tape, needing to convert it and take over the entire hard drive to then encode to youtube must've been 20+ hours of work.

If I recall correctly, I believe the first time I turned on and used my ps3, I was also on one of those old box televisions lol. That was wayyyy before i started using HDMI permanently. Glad I still have and use my ps3 from time to time. Great system. I'll never get rid of it for as long as it's functional.
I was also playing on a big JVC TV back then. MW2 mostly.
Its called a crt television, they are the best. We got rid of all our flatscreens cuz of how bad quality they are and got 2 crt televisions and 1 HD crt (like the one in this video)
Ha same here 😂 I hated those new flat screens, because I just got me a nice fat crt! Ps3 is just unplayable on crt… At least, you cant read text.
