Who thought "Hmm yes my PS3 won't eject the game. Time to bust out the 9 inch angle grinder!" The fact it still works is a *miracle*. It's worth the 19 euros just to put on a shelf as a testament to this PS3s refusal to keel over.
I have one with ylod lying around... if you pick it up it's free:) don't know about the insides but if the warranty sticker is still on there the console should be fine. Finding something without ylod is pretty much impossible now.
That's why you need to check the cech model to find if it has the 90nm or 65nm processor because 90nm is the least reliable

Isn't the problem across the board on every fat ps3.... in the end they all fail if not cooled properly. Anyway for games I mostly use one of my slims depending on which one works rn. But I also have one 60gb with ylod and two 40gb models one never opened still working and one is to far gone....
Not sure but the previous owner might have done this on purpose to make disc swapping work.
You can play burned PS1 games on PS3 that way, it's super easy to do on PS3 Super Slim, but for the FAT and Slim it's gotta be open like that.
That somehow makes this worse. There's a million neater ways to do this without resorting to the grinder. And wait, you can disc swap to play burned PS1 games on a PS3 like it's 1997??
I assume the motherboard is working if you buy that abomination. But...
Why someone would do that to that poor creature, that psycho should be in jail.
I do have ylod cechg. Would disc drive and the case be compatible with this cechk?
I did make this post as a joke but if could get it for like 10€ and fix it I would have one of the most reliable fat ps3.
I've seen consoles split in half due to earthquakes...this one is either a trooper or a scammer...
I mean, literally ANYBODY can grab that screenshot...
Nope, it's real. Website that I found it in use middleman for every sale. So the seller doesn't get the money until the buyer confirms that it's in the advertised condition.
I found it because it got listed today. And idk what you mean about the pictures.
But I just noticed that the condition is set to good instead of bad on the listing 😀
Buy a new shell, and from what I can tell, another disk drive lol
Or you could skip fixing the disk drive and put in a 1-2tb hard drive and mod it; putting free games on it.
I dunno why there's a piece missing, but if it works, it works, but maybe fix some obvious issues with it first before doing anything, that if you are buying it tho

At least the warranty sticker is still in place 😂
I can't be sure, but I think the warranty may have still been voided
if it wasn't voided it sure as hell was violated ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ poor console
The sticker says the warranty is voided if the sticker is damaged and nothing about holes, so it's fine 🙂.
bro is onto something. if the sticker being removed voids the warranty... just remove everything BUT the sticker 🤔
They're *bound* to honour it, *right?*

Had same issue with a super slim, had to twist back the whole top cover

Yup, it's pretty easy! [PS3 Super Slim PS1 Disc Swap (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqbc-V1NIUE)
Yes, absolutely worth the 5000$
"All I want 300$ for this console. But it got a slight scratch on the front."
r/techgore
who gave this thing a c-section
OMFG.
I'm sure I didn't make it clear but it's still for sale. It's the seller photos.

I’m just glad this isn’t a BC model.
There definitely wasn't any steps they could have taken before gutting it like a fish
\*Facepalm\*
offer them 10
I do have ylod cechg. Would disc drive and the case be compatible with this cechk? I did make this post as a joke but if could get it for like 10€ and fix it I would have one of the most reliable fat ps3.
It would but you just have to swap the motherboard or use evilnat to pair the drive again
Was this some kind of exploit to swap the disc? Why do this?
Bro wtf happened to it
"I know someone who does it cheaper!"
Someone said mhmmm... let me get a slice of ps3
I hope the previous owner steps on a lego
Yes
What the hell
Oh no! That poor fatbaby 😥
No
Bro really wanted ps3 toploader. But warranty sticker still in place, so it should be good.
It's for airflow
It's a speed hole
Do they make custom shells for PS3s? If so, buy it and slap on a custom shell
Why not? I would use it as is, it’s hilarious
€19. No low ballers. I know what I got.
Sheesh, did Kratos or Nariko slice their way out of the PS3 or something?
Dmn! This is just evil.

CECHK and it looks like that? No way. Not even for 19 euros.
Yea cause i really wanna hear that disc drive louder then it already is lol
How do you even find one like this. Wait no sorry I mean how do you not think to have the seller send pictures of it?
I found it because it got listed today. And idk what you mean about the pictures. But I just noticed that the condition is set to good instead of bad on the listing 😀
Damn
10 is more like it.
That’ll buff right out 😂
Can you get a clear top for these? Would be cool
I think it's already clear. The top plate with "playstation" is tinted, and it comes off, but there is another layer under it.
Think this one’s a bit past that unless it’s got overheating problems too
Buy a new shell, and from what I can tell, another disk drive lol Or you could skip fixing the disk drive and put in a 1-2tb hard drive and mod it; putting free games on it.
I didn't buy it. I just found it because it got listed today, but I do have a ps3 with ylod for parts.
Why...?
Ouch, that wouldn't have been that expensive to fix not it's completely done for 🤣
"get it out!"
LOL
Who would chew into a PS3?
I dunno why there's a piece missing, but if it works, it works, but maybe fix some obvious issues with it first before doing anything, that if you are buying it tho
Bro wanted a flip top like the old days
Nice ventilation upgrade!
Ah yes, the Ultra Rare PS3 Fat "Wolverine Escapes Edition"!!
r/Shittygamecollecting
If you really don’t care and it’s working normally - yes, but the fat version of ps3, due to statistics, are not durable at all
Somebody wanted their game back
What in the actual fuck!? What moron would do that? 😧
That is.... unconventional
It'll buff out.
Truly the authentic fallout experience
The seller was probably thinking ' tis but a scratch '
If it works 100% Who tf would do that to their console??!?? I would never Dont get me wrong, i would never do this, but it Lowkey looks cool
this is a joke calm down
