Look closer: this is an actual PlayStation 3 ad.

It is possible that Silent Protagonist are exclusively reporting on IGN reporting on the demise of the PlayStation 3.

According to Gematsu, according to IGN, the last model of PlayStation 3 in production in Japan has been removed from sale.

Everybody’s favourite cell processor driven console started off Blu, but once we figured out how to refinance our houses and salary sacrifice our wages (I’m still paying off mine) the PS3 became a Ray of sunshine in gaming history.

With its burial at hand, Silent Protagonist wanted to stare into the eternal void and take the time to remember some great games well played, now floating in the mysterious b3yond (or your local EB Games second hand rack).

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007

You too can be just like Tiger.

Watching Avatar on Blu Ray

Avatar 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be coming to the PlayStation 7 Pro after James Cameron is lost at sea and Fox release the films as is in 2034

It was fucking gorgeous.

Pressing X to Jason

Best ringtone ever.

Gaming lets us indulge in all sorts of fantasies. Like losing your annoying child in a mall.

Pressing O to Aphrodite

The memory of your first time is always nicer than it actually was.

The only time I used my left hand for the face buttons.

Genji: Days of the Blade

The crab stands alone.

Haze

343 actually developed Halo 5 specifically as a Haze killer.

The game so good it retroactively became a PlayStation exclusive.

PlayStation Move

The only time my Mum really got into gaming.

PlayStation’s answer to the motion control fad was so popular it had a second coming as an accessory for when you are jacked in to the PlayStation 4’s Virtual Reality.

Onechanbara Z: Kagura with NoNoNo!

I know what you are thinking. "Colin said the only time he gamed left handed was with Aphrodite." Don't worry, I totally played Onechanbara with my right hand. By the time this masterpiece was made I had mastered masturbating with my left hand.

It was the PlayStation 3 that really brought the best of Japan into the palm of our hands.

The Brilliance of Alien: Colonial Marines

After Alien Covenant's box office failure Fox are letting Joss Whedon resurrect the universe as a TV series.

It perfectly mimicked the feel of an Aliens Sequel.

Farewell PlayStation 3, you may be d3ad, but you will forever haunt our dreams.
