As a seasoned PlayStation enthusiast with decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the recent revelation about the PS3’s particle-controlling XMB home screen has left me both astounded and amused. While I’ve been around long enough to remember the PS3’s rocky start, I’ve also witnessed its transformation into a beloved console among many fans.
18 years post its initial launch by Sony, some dedicated PlayStation enthusiasts have stumbled upon a hidden feature of the PS3 consoles. If you exclude spin-off projects like the PS Vita and PlayStation VR, it’s clear that the PS3 is the least successful era for PlayStation, a fact underscored by its predecessor, the PS2, and successor, the PS4, selling significantly more units. This can be attributed to several factors, such as the PS3’s slow start due to launching a year after the Xbox 360 and the high $600 price tag of the console, which was met with criticism. However, it’s important to note that despite these challenges, the console still managed to sell an impressive 87 million units, surpassing any Xbox console sales to date.
Beyond just being well-liked, it’s particularly cherished among some PlayStation enthusiasts. It may not be as widely adored as the classic PS1 or PS2, and while the PS4 and PS5 have come along since then, the PS3 remains a beloved console for many. Interestingly enough, even years after its release, PlayStation fans are still uncovering new aspects of this console.
For this purpose, a post concerning the console has become widely popular on platform X, as it unveiled a secret method to manipulate the particles found on the XMB home screen using nothing but your controller’s movement. The post boasts over three million views and offers fresh insights for many PlayStation enthusiasts.
On different occasions, it’s been unveiled that this particular feature exists, but from the feedback, it appears that many PlayStation enthusiasts were unaware of this concealed function. As some PlayStation enthusiasts have noted in the comments, this method is also the most straightforward way to determine if your PS3 controller is an original OEM controller rather than a third-party one. If the controller isn’t the former or the latter, then the video below cannot be replicated at all.
Did you know that you can manipulate the particles on the PlayStation 3’s XMB home screen just by using your controller?
