Modified 60GB PS3 Unboxing [PATREON EXCLUSIVE]
🕑 Added 2020-11-02 08:01:58 +0000 UTCHi Patrons! Right before I filmed Sunday's video on the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset for PS5, I unboxed this beauty as a little extra Patreon bonus video! This was more of a personal/work related purchase that wasn't going to be any specific video for the channel but I figured why not film a little something for here. So check it out!
My launch PS3 has a bad GPU (and that's the one thing I can't repair myself) so I went ahead and picked up this beauty, that way between two PlayStations (PS3, PS5) I now have access to playing every console, and can easily film any game when I need to. What's great about the listing for this console, is the seller offered modifications. With these early backwards compatible PS3's, the reliability is a concern. But there's a few things you can do, so this PS3 has:
- Updated 19 blade fan.
- Updated power supply (draws less power, less heat).
- New thermal paste applied on top (and underneath) the IHS plates.
- Extra ventilation drilled underneath the console where fan is.
- NEC/TOKIN Capacitors replaced (these are like little fuses, if they go bad: YLOD).
So outside of more serious modifications, this is what you can very easy swap out/fix on an early PS3 to circumvent overheating or YLOD. All of which I wanted to do on my own for a separate video but there's way too much PS5 coverage coming up. So for now at least, I was able to grab this conveniently. Hope you're all getting excited for PS5! Also, quick note: I will update Patreon credits in video/descriptions within the next 2 uploads or so. Usually takes a few days into the next month for everyones payment to clear so I know who's all set. Just an FYI that any changes won't be immediately reflected.
Alright! You be good.

Already swapped in a 320GB, and that'll be plenty for the longterm!
