7 years after its initial closure, PlayStation Home on PS3 has been (partially) restored! The Destination Home team has been working for years to get a working online client up and running, and they’ve recently launched a closed beta which I had the chance to checkout. So join me in a crazy nostalgia trip as we explore Central Plaza, play some bowling, and play some games! I also had the chance to speak with one of the lead content developers for their valuable insight on what it took to get where they are today, and what’s coming in the future. Buckle up everyone, it’s time to go HOME. Very obviously the pun was intended there.
These PS3 games are still great after all these years! Which ones do you still go back and play on the PlayStation 3 all these years later? Which ones did I miss?

We cover the giant 40lb PlayStation 3 DECR-1000A Reference Tool! Used primarily for game development, we tour this monolith of a machine and explore its history. Big thanks to Nick for lending this to us!
The PS3 Test Console plays three generations of Playstation games: PS1, PS2 & PS3 in ALL REGIONS. Plus it has a ton of cool developer options to mess around with.
Looking to buy a Sony Playstation 3 (PS3)? This is the Buying Guide for you! We cover the three different PS3 models, accessories and we list some of our favorite games to get you started! Oh yeah…and we even talk about the PS3 Move controller… 😉
BEHIND THE SCENES: For this video it was important to cover all three models of PS3 and thankfully Kelsey and PinkGorillaGames had two of them that they let us borrow. Those backwards compatible ones easily go for $140+ now. Plus we had a ton of fun just picking out the games we would recommend! Although…when Kelsey showed up with some HD Remasters… I don’t think she fully understood just how many of them I had! So we had some fun with that…
Also…Kelsey was stoked to have purchased a Playstation shirt just the week before and we made sure to get that in the thumbnail. Enjoy!
