Full PAL Classics HD set complete! After a long hunt, the collection is whole. What's your favorite compilation here?

After hunting around for a while, I’ve finally gathered every single Assassin's Creed release available on the PlayStation 3:

• Assassin's Creed
• Assassin's Creed II
• Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
• Assassin's Creed: Revelations
• Assassin's Creed III
• Assassin's Creed III: Liberation
• Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
• Assassin's Creed Rogue

I purposely bought a broken Dualshock 3 CECHZC2U A2 because this revision are the easiest model to swap the analog modules. I wanted to experiment which modern analog sticks are compatible with the 3pin layout DS3.

I tested PS3/PS4 Hall Effect modules from AliExpress, (I did not include pictures of them because I couldn't get them to work with calibration). The controller recognized the Hall Effects but my experience I couldn't get a good calibration.

I installed 1 PS5 TMR module (also didn't include in the photos), the controller understood there's a Analog installed but the readings were going all over the place. Its mostly due to being meant for a PS5 controller, had some laying around when I soldered TMR sticks for my ps5 controllers.

Lastly I tried GinFull's PS4 TMR sticks, a pack that I had left overs when I soldered TMR's for my DS4's which are the transparent black & orange that you're seeing in the photos. To my surprise these are compatible & calibrated very good. Tested the controller post calibration by playing variety of shooters: COD, Killzone, Army of Two, and the sticks are smooth.

if interested installing these yourself here's the Amazon link: https://a.co/d/0bJOsbGp

I bought a controller from a guy who insisted the controller is 100% original. I mean, it was a pretty genuine looking controller. So I bought it and the analogs were funky. Then I decided to open the shell and saw this abomination. Thankfully, I was able to return it and get my money back. Still, it was the best fake controller I've ever seen. Buttons were responsive, the only problem was the analogs.

I bought a used console on Vinted. When I turned it on, the fans went straight to max speed and the console shut itself off, so I decided to replace the thermal paste…

Just to be clear, this is the result of over an hour of struggling to take the console apart without damaging it. Unfortunately, the solder joints gave up.

BTW, I still can’t get the processor off the heatsink.

This trip was never supposed to be a PS3 hunt it just ended up that way… I overpaid for GoW Ascension on day 1 for a copy that had some humidity damage ($650NTD / £14 ) which I thought was good considering a UK copy is £30-45 for the steelbook. Then I found a better copy for like $300NTD, alongside Asura’s Wrath, Lollipop Chainsaw both for $300NTD each! Everything here was about $6000NTD total, $1800 of that just being from Strider which was a the only big purchase. W Taiwan.

Also, if anybody has info on the Dante’s Inferno copy I have that would be great, I can’t find anything online. I also have the Infamous Collection which has a sealed Infamous 2, and originally had the platinum Infamous 1. I assume that wasn’t how it came, so I just swapped it for a regular version. I don’t think it matches with the Infamous 2 copy but still. So if anyone has info on how that set was supposed to come as well, that would be helpful also.

Hello! I went to CEX today looking to get a new game but they didn’t have it in stock! I looked to get a new one and found infamous! I have just been playing the intro and it’s amazing! What are your opinions on the game in 2026? Should I get infamous 2?
Thank you!

What did I miss in the game collecting world lol

Recently purchased this absolute unit of a PS3 with 2 controller for £400 and couldn't be happier. It's an original Sony Frankie with additional user maintenance. Grabbed myself a copy of folklore also with an mclassic and an audio transmitter for my beyerdynamics using a fiio btr17. Still needs some road testing but hey.

The snakes nest is just me testing everything works, am trying to find a logistical way to neaten everything up haha.
