Kingpainx2 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 So i have been on a tales of series binge recently and i have made it a goal of mine to platinum all the tales games that i can. i have already got the plat for arise,zestiria,vesperia, and berseria. i am about to start to go for the tales of hearts r plat soon. what i have been pondering is the ps3 era tales games. since i dont have a ps3 and missed that era due to being on xbox at the time it has left me wanting to play some of the games i didn't get to play back then especially jrpgs. Money isn't really a problem for me so buying the console and games wouldn't be a big deal in my case. the thing is this ps spartacus has made me pause on just buying it because all the games i want to play may just be put on there in a few months if it adds more games from previous generations (i havent seen a list on what games will be on it i am just speculating). So i guess what i am asking is would buying a ps3 and owning the games directly from the console be worth it even in 2022. or should i just wait and see if the ps spartacus just ends up adding all the games in one place? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenpai Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 If money's no problem for you, I'd say buy it. Playing locally is always better than streaming and you never know if they will put the games you want on the service, and even if they do, they might later remove them. I'd rather always have control of my own games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrin18 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Unless you are in a real rush to get to this then I'd say wait. See the initial batch of PS3 games that will be included in the higher tiers and decide it if's worth it then to pay the extra 60 (annually) or buy a PS3 and the cost of each game, albeit pretty cheap, will probably add up. You can probably assume most, if not all PS NOW PS3 games will be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaivRules Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Buy a PS3, slim or super-slim. Worst case scenario, the price won’t depreciate from how much you pay for it and you can unload it if you decide Plus Premium ends up being the option you decide you wanted later on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aodir Posted April 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2022 Until they allow you to insert a PS3 game disc and play on whatever console at the time, the answer will always be buy a PS3. They're inexpensive, reliable and have a really good library where you can get most games for really cheap, you simply can't go wrong. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Spartacus will have PS3 games but you'll have to stream them. I've tried that with PSNow already and I'm not a fan of how it plays, so I got a PS3 a couple of months ago and I don't regret it at all! It's definitely a slooowww system but if you want to collect your games physical then getting a PS3 is a must imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saiyanbloodstyle Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Better to buy a PS3 slim because PS plus premium will have nowhere near the amount of PS3 you'll want, most are cheap enough to buy too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 You want an actual PS3, My advice is second hand from Japan as they seem to be in great quality. Availability of the games is going to cost you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for the collection reasoning I would definitely buy a PS3. I have all 5 launch concoles (all working too!) 1, 2 and 4 no longer used - PS3 for games until the new service is out. But it does look nice having them shelved together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrslimee Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I have 2 fat PS3's that I added larger hard drives to a long time ago. The Video on one finally went out this year. I use the other one every once in a while. I have a slim that my kid uses and he has had no problems with that. I have a super slim that is hardly used, however the last couple of times I have used it sometimes it wants to read a disc and sometimes not. So I'd say I certainly have thousands of hours on the fat ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamiTosh Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 here in Germany u can get a ps3 for like 100-150€ and tons of used ps3 games for dirt, PS Plus Premium alone costs 120€ a year, if you dont have super light speed internet, i wouldnt recommmend going for the streaming service. I have 1 Gig download still the PS Now struggled sometimes to play properly. Plus u can resell the physical games or trade them,thus u r able to save more money or keep the games and actually own them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Duderino Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 For me this is a no-brainer. PS3 consoles are dirt cheap, so are used games. Plus, most games will never be available for streaming due to licensing issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malfunkshuns Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I'd say both. PS3's are cheap and a lot of games are either not backwards compatible or look better on the old console. However, there has been times where I had to use PSNow for a game as my PS3 couldn't handle it (Fallout NV as an example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games have also shot up in price (Still plenty of cheap ones, but not what they were before. Hell, the cheap sports games that used to be $.0.50 are now $5.00. I'm sure it will settle more, but I think people finally realized what gems the PS3 and 360 were. OP- Get a PS3! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimeraya Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 As the PS3 games won't be on sale anymore (in my opinion), maybe it'll cost u lots of money to buy either physical or digital copies. But i won't trust the streaming way so i still recommend you to buy a PS3 console anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMichigan Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 If you're not tight on money, go for a PS3. There will be tons of titles not available on PS Plus Premium, and you won't have to rely only on streaming. If you are planning on the new services but don't have too much extra money, the streaming should suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonaSaxPayne Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 buy a ps3 playing natively will always ne better than streaming, regardless of how good ur internet is also, the majority of PS3 games on ps now don't have dlc included 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalesofGaming Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I would buy the PS3, I don't see the Tales games on PS3 being on the new subscription service. Beware though, I have heard rumors that they have been taken off of the PS3 store page. You might need to buy them physically which are now going up in price.

Aknosom Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Definitely go for a PS3 (there's a gorgeous Tales of Xillia one if you want to be all thematic. I got one cheap off Y!Japan Auctions myself). I've kinda been putting off Tales games on PS3 since I was hoping the success of Arise would prompt Bamco to re-release some of the older titles (since "remasters are in") but with them, who knows.
