Are PS3s expensive to pick up nowadays?

I was just wanting to re-play one of my old games (Resistance: FoM), but that only brought up PS3 gloom because I can't easily run them.
I mean free games are nice, pretty much all I play now aside from things I bought on sale many years ago.

I've got 2 already:
my orginal 60GB version (YLoD, heatgun fixed until I gave up)
one with a broken disc-drive I traded for, put my old drive (with its daughterboard) in and eventually it stopped reading discs (not sure if it burned out or firmware DRM timeout thing, cleaner disc didn't work)I could probably fix either but I don't want to spend money on it, plus given the situation I'd probably need to fix both.
Can't rip my own disc (I have a blu-ray drive but not the right kind for PS3 ripping). Emu is a hassle esp. w/big files (and I have a 1050Ti). Bookmarks are dead (or need acct?) and I can't seem to find a demo image to see if it'd run.

Aww man, I understand the gloom

Yeah, sorry. I could probably do something, it's just tedious especially now. Maybe eventually, though I remember stuff (like a cheap laser puzzle game from the PSN, also some old animations sold on the PSN though I did remember Stickman Exodus) that I probably won't ever find again.
On a very similar note I really like the idea of creating some sort of content, not sure if things will ever align there either. I'd like to create minimalist stuff (that could run on the PS1 even, so it's a shame that it'll never be as simple as clicking export from Godot (it could happen 3rd-party maybe, but might be too niche) and copying a file over.

Hey, I got stuff working, updated my original comment.

I loved that game because it was co-op MP.

I don't think I played the story co-op, but I played versus maybe 3 times. Splitscreen isn't good for that because screen-peeking.
Resistance 2 had some interesting co-op/online stuff (XP system with unlocks, different stuff than story mode) that I mostly played solo IIRC (janky, still need 2 controllers). No broadband available until mid-2016, but I was able to play online via a distant neighor's wifi (they knew) at midnight for a few games and was probably the worst player thanks to high ping (rubberbanding).

Yeah it wasn’t the best but it was the only way I could get my husband to play with me - I guess that made me a little biased lol
