Refurbished The Retro vGames Way

We’re not your average seller. We know what trouble spots early PS3 Fat models are known for - overheating, disc read errors, and fan failure.

Every PS3 we ship goes through a multi-step technical inspection by trained techs who know this console inside and out.

Here’s how we put the effort:

• Cleaned internally to remove dust and debris
• Tested for disc drive accuracy (reads Blu-ray, DVD, and CD without issue)
• Power supply and cooling fan inspected and confirmed fully operational
• Reset to factory firmware—no bloat, no surprises
• Ports and video output tested with both HDMI and AV setups
• GPU and thermal paste inspected for stable performance
• Hard drive tested for read/write integrity

Get the original launch-era feel without the launch-era headaches. 

And unlike other sellers, we stand behind our work with a full 1-year functional warranty.

Why the PS3 Fat Is Still Loved

• Built-in Blu-ray Player: Stream movies or play your Blu-ray collection—this is a true media hub.
• NVIDIA RSX Graphics Processor: Still delivers surprisingly strong visuals for many games.
• Expandable Storage: While this unit comes with the original 20GB HDD, it can easily be swapped for a higher-capacity HDD.
• Offline Multiplayer Support: Couch co-op isn’t dead. PS3 still supports split-screen for plenty of classics.
