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 (talk • contribs) 21:41, 30 December 2012‎ (UTC)

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

Under system updates please mention the infamous 8002F1F9 error code and warn readers that installing a system update with on a PS3 with defective bluetooth or wifi will cause an install loop which gives that error code.

I have no idea why the firmware is programmed to bail out of the update if it finds a bluetooth / wifi hardware issue and then consequently loop rather than reverting the update or simply inform the user that there is an issue with the hardware and continue with the install. 62.252.146.162 (talk) 15:27, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
