Edit request on 30 December 2012[edit]

For the picture of the Ps3 it should show Ps3 Fat, Ps3 Slim, Ps3 Super Slim, also how the ps3 slim was discontinued - — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZackCannata (talkcontribs) 21:41, 30 December 2012‎ (UTC) Reply[reply]

PS3 is the last CD player[edit]

I think we should add "PlayStation 3 is the last PlayStation which can read CD", since starting from PS4, PlayStation cannot read CD and spewing "Unknown Disc" error Beezanteeum (talk) 16:06, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I agree, that would be a good paragraph to add. CrosswalkX (talk) 13:10, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There's a CMOS battery issue on the Playstation 3 which will lock out digital games.[edit]

To the Wikipedia staff and users, I noticed 2 years ago that many of the Playstation models has a CMOS battery which can read the time and date and allows players to play Digital PS1, PS2, PS3 games on the Playstation 3 console. However, if the CMOS battery dies and the player is not connected to the internet, they will be locked out of their digital games. As of right now there is still no update on the CMOS battery firmware patch from Sony Playstation but players can still play physical disc games with the dead CMOS battery. I found this article on Gamerant which explains the CMOS battery issue. Aging Batteries Could Turn PS3s & PS4s Into Paperweights (screenrant.com)

Can we add this CMOS battery issue on this Playstation 3 page? Let me know if we can. I'm scared that I'm going to lose my Digital PS1 games I've bought. CrosswalkX (talk) 13:18, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
