But when the "slim model" was released, the alternative operating system feature was removed due to security concerns.
That change resulted in a class-action lawsuit. A settlement was reached in 2016, which allows PS3 owners to claim $65.
If you haven't filed your claim, though, you're running out of time.
Anyone who owns the original PS3 has until April 15 to file a claim.
