How To Retrieve Your PS3 Console ID Using A Simple Trick 'ps3 console id grabber'

The PlayStation 3 (PS3) is Sony's sixth generation of the iconic home video game consoles that have been popular among gamers worldwide since its release in November 2006. Among other features, each PS3 unit has a unique identifier known as the Console ID or Serial Number which can be useful for various reasons such as hardware warranty claims, console activation and more.

However, retrieving your actual PS3 Console ID is not always an easy task especially if you have forgotten it due to several reasons like format. Fortunately, there are some simple methods available online that allow users to retrieve their unique Console IDs without voiding the manufacturer's guarantee or bricking (rendering useless) their consoles in the process.

In this article, we will focus on one such method which involves using a third party software called StoreHaxx IDPS PSID Dumping Method specifically designed for PlayStation 3 Slim models running firmware version 4.83 OFW (Out of Warranty). Before proceeding with these steps please note that they voids your warranty and may brick/brick your console if performed incorrectly.

Step-by- Step Instructions:

1. Download the StoreHaxx IDPS PSID Dumping Method executable file from a trusted source and save it on an external storage device such as USB flash drive or memory stick.

2. Insert the prepared media into one of your available PlayStation 3 Slim's disc drives (e.g., tray- loading models only).

3. Power cycle your console by pressing and holding down both power buttons simultaneously until you hear two distinct beeps followed immediately afterwards with another short beep indicating successful boot mode switch to Recovery Mode.

4. Connect a USB cable between the computer running StoreHIDPS.exe program alongside PS3 Slim via USB port A on either side of console; ensure that other peripherals such as controllers, cables etc., are unplugged first.

Once you have successfully booted into Recovery Mode using these steps above - double click 'START' icon located at top left corner within explorer window to begin scanning process which may take few seconds depending upon system specs:

- If everything goes smoothly without any errors displayed during scan operation complete list containing all found items will be presented below 'Devices' section along with corresponding IDs under respective columns like IDPS/ PSID etc... Copy down relevant information as needed.
