In an era defined by sub-HD resolutions and 'challenging' performance, the concept of PlayStation 3 delivering on its promised 1080p dream seems almost ridiculous. And it's true that only a tiny proportion of the library rendered at full HD. And yet, in this DF Retro Special, 85 games are tested - and a majority of them target 60fps! John Linneman is on top form here, presenting the lengthiest DF Retro yet in an epic journey covering four episodes. This is part one!
 
Honestly you could buy a newer Slim/Super Slim PS3 and PS2 for less than a good condition launch PS3. The launch models are really unreliable.
That's actually the appeal to me. Setting up these older consoles as a project is a lot of the fun part for me. So I'd strip it down to the motherboard, maybe even get crazy and delid the chips and give them new compound, stuff like that.

Also the CECH-A01 launch model is the one that's nostalgic to me.

Kinda surprised how poorly Splinter Cell runs at 1080p. Sounds like a rush job that needed more time in the Oven
