Last Of Us 2: 25 Easter Eggs, Details & References You Need To See
13. Playstation 3 Consoles And Games
Like the PlayStation Vita, many homes in the world of the Last of Us also apparently owned a PlayStation 3 console too.
If you look carefully, there are several houses throughout where you can find old dusty PS3 units. They're the original model version too - the ye old 'fat' PS3 model - which came out in 2006. The PS3 Slim came out in 2009, but it doesn't like anyone in Jackson or Seattle bothered buying one.
Next to these PS3 consoles you can also find game boxes for Naughty Dog's previous games, including Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and the Jak and Daxter HD Collection. Uncharted 2 released in 2009, while the Jak and Daxter collection released in 2012, so continuity-wise, both released before Outbreak Day happened and presumably stopped the production of more video games.
Another really cool little detail about the PS3 units is, amazingly, they're impossible to shoot. If you hover your aiming crosshairs over them, it'll identify them as a friend. Apparently Sony really didn't want you hurting their brand!
This trick with the friend/aiming also works with the PlayStation Vita consoles you can find throughout.
