How do I identify my PS3?
Read the CECH code on the console label. The original PS3 has a thick, curved shell. The Slim has a thinner body and a slot-loading drive. The Super Slim has a ridged sliding cover over its disc well. Photograph the label with the serial number covered. List the storage capacity shown in system settings. A previous owner may have changed the drive.
Can my PS3 play PS2 discs?
Some early original models can. A thick shell alone does not establish compatibility. Check Sony’s manual for your exact model and region. For example, Sony lists PS2 discs as incompatible with the CECH-2501B Slim. If you advertise PS2 disc support, show the model code and a compatible physical game running. A downloaded game does not test the optical drive.
Sony’s PS3 Slim CECH-2501B manualWhich tests matter before I sell it?
Start the console from cold. Insert a PS3 game, launch it, and play long enough to test controls and video output. On a Super Slim, check that the sliding lid closes and the disc spins. On a slot-loading model, test both insertion and ejection. Describe intermittent faults even if the console passes once.
How should I price a bundle?
Separate a working console, a genuine controller, cables, and each game in your inventory. Match the exact model first, then find sales with similar contents. A boxed, backward-compatible original needs its own comparison. The two July Slim sales show how far prices can differ even when sellers describe similar bundles. Check the photos and shipping terms before choosing between them.
