I could buy a steam deck and a shitload of games on sale for that

That’s what I did when my PC died and I’d do it again given the choice

They could have given us full backwards compatibility for that.

It would be an instant buy for me if it has full backwards compatibility, and I'd let them tack on another hundo for psp/vita games. That's basically what my Steam deck is. Every console emulated and PC games.

I love how Sony learned nothing from the PS3 launch price.

FOVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLARS

You didn't need a subscription to play games online.

The launch PS3 was arguably Sony’s last great console (namely hardware backwards compatibility); I choose to die on this hill. 🫡

Miss using it as a SACD player. Tough to find one now that isn’t insanely priced.

It also had the "other OS" feature! It's strange that the PS3 remains the only big console to have that feature, given how difficult its architecture is to work with. The modern consoles are all much closer to just being prebuilt PCs and none of them have it.

The primary reason was that sony wanted to take advantage of lower import taxes in the EU by classifying it as a general-purpose computer. Thats why they also abandoned OtherOS after the EU ruled that the PS3 was not a computer but a game console.
