How to find the right PlayStation 3 Cases & Storage AI guide
Written by an AI model from its trained knowledge.
What the AI looks for in PlayStation 3 Cases & Storage
- Console generation
- Match the case to the original (fat), Slim or Super Slim body The three PS3 bodies differ a lot in size. A case cut for one will be loose or will not close on another.
- Separate power supply space
- Not needed for any PS3 model Every PS3 has a built-in power supply, so you only need room for the console, the power cord, HDMI, controllers and discs.
- Rigid shell and padding
- Prefer a hard or semi-rigid shell with a foam cutout for travel The fat PS3 is heavy, and its disc drive and laser are vulnerable to knocks in soft bags.
- Disc storage
- Keep discs in Blu-ray cases, or in wallets with soft non-woven sleeves Blu-ray discs have a hard coat but still scuff. Cheap plastic sleeves trap grit against the data surface.
Brands that matter
- Hori: Made licensed PS3 carry cases and storage.
- Mad Catz: Made PS3-era travel cases.
- Case Logic: General disc wallets that suit Blu-ray collections.
What to avoid
- Generic laptop bags with no internal padding or strap for a fat PS3
- Disc wallets with clear plastic sleeves
