Another plug for colorware, stop advertising, we all know about it.

Old, and not the safest way to go. Warranty gets voided. Go for stickers, not permanent, no mess, easy to apply, easy to remove, and save your warranty :3

There's a place in Las Vegas called Playstation Parlor that's where you can get your PS3 custom painted and designed by a pro.
It' some major bucks depending on what you want.
Just a standard paint job is like $100 then if you want a custom color or designs that'll cost extra.
Your better off getting a custom skin for your PS3 than you are painting it but that's just in my opinion.
Get custom skins
at www.decalgirl.com

The prices if you buy from them aren't horrible. I wouldn't send in though. The controller prices were actually really really good for the 360 versions.

Green Rocks! + my Favorite Color!

*rolls eyes*

if i could do it myself i would if it would come out as good as that and if it didnt void my warranty (iduuno if it does)
id like a blood red one with kingdom hearts decals or something

PSN ID: tatti

The thing is, ahhh??
Dont they take the ps3 apart to paint the thing.

i will not get anything, because it will void the warranty :(

Thats to much money for me to spend on but I would get a dark purple PS3 and controller.

GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MA PS3 XIBIT (or alternatively for us brits....er tim westwood)!!! I dont want no gaudy flames on the side of ma console! if i wanted flames comin from ma console i would have bought an xbox!

i love my all black 20 gig.

i bought the 20 gig over the 60 gig at launch time because i didn't care about the card reader, or the extra gig's

but i loved the look of the all black over the black and chrome.

that white and orange one was pretty fu3king sweet though.

For me, it's not worth the money or the time. The PS3 already looks good.

Besides, what happens if it breaks and you have to send it in for repair? Don't they often send a different machine back?

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
