How do I take PS3 screenshots?

Post by Erik_Twice »

My cousing brought her PS3 and we are playing GTAV so I thought it would be a good time to grab some screenshots and review the game. But since I don't have a PS3, I don't know how to take screenshots and upload them to my PC.

Any tips?

Looks like it should be the Home button + either Start or Select

Sucks that the 360 can't do screenshots :evil:

As far as I know, I don't think there is anyway to do it within the PS3 its self (I could be wrong though).
Personally, I own an Elgato Game Capture HD that comes with the correct composite cables to record footage (since the HDMI port is essentially copy protected). I haven't had to use it much since my YouTube channel is primarily based around retro gaming, but the few times I have used it, it's worked well.

Google says it's the ps(home) button + start...either that or use your smartphone to take a picture of the tv :P

Doesn't work for GTA V for some reason. I also checked some threads and people say the same thing. Sigh. :(
