FireHotStickies Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, I was thinking about getting a PS3. I am a student just now and still have 2 years of uni to go. This means I don't have a lot of time to play games and don't have a lot of money to spend on a PS4 and new AAA games. So far I have been getting my gaming fix through handhelds, GBA, Vita, 3DS as these are easy to use on the go when I have a spare minute. However, I just seem to be fed up of them and would rather play on a console again.I don't have too much time to play over the year (due to my studies) and I can probably only see myself playing 3 or 4 games over the year. Then maybe more in the summer when I have a break from uni. Even though I don't have a lot of time, I'm still considering it as PS3s and the games can be picked up for really cheap now. I can get my hands on a super slim 500GB console plus 4 games for £60 = $91, which seems to be a really good deal. So even if I didn't end up playing it that much, I wouldn't lose out. I'm also aware that I may be too late and the PS4 and Xbox One are taking over, not that it's really an issue for me. What do you guys think?

DiabloXIIIofWar Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Not to mention all the functionality PS3 has. "It only does everything" ^^ Just buy it, if you can get it for under $100 I would have bought it a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edunstar84 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 You'll want to get in now anyways because you might not even find a PS3. So I vote yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change it yourself (go to full edit mode on the 1st post). And, yes, it's still worth it. My ps3 died 1 month ago (7+ years old system, 80Gb FAT model, YLOD) and I would be looking into getting a new one if I wasn't so short on cash (will try to repair mine sometime soon, but I'm unsure if I will be able to get it working again..).

Yeah I know it is possible to edit, but it is too late, now everyone has noticed haha! Suppose I will edit anyway, thanks. Looks like it is a unanimous yes so far!

Popular Post Gotakibono Posted October 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2015 Good games are good games, no matter what year it is or what other consoles are out there. And trust me, the PS3 has A LOT of great games - I'd say go for it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegirlruka Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 There are hundreds of ps3 games. Unless you're one of those people that will only play games in online multiplayer, it's definitely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenpai Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Just because it's an "older" console, doesn't mean the games are worse and/or be going anywhere. I still don't have a PS4, been getting all my gaming fix from PS3. Tons of good games to play, and if you can get them all for cheap, why not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantes_994 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Unless you are getting a Virtual Boy or the original Xbox, all consoles are worth a purchase 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueFireReaper Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I got an Xbox 360 a year after the Xbox One came out and bought a game from 2007 when I did. Never too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maftet Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It has a huge catalogue of awesome games and thanks to the PS4, PS3 games are only getting cheaper. I don't have a PS4 yet either cause there's still so many games I want on the PS3 and the longer I leave it, the cheaper the PS4 gets. Even if you bought one now, if you don't care about playing the latest releases on day one you'd have enough to keep you going for years. So I'd say go for it, especially at £60, that's a steal.

dfyd Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yeah like a decade worth of really cheap games seems like such a negative. ;/ A console for £60? wow dude what a rip off... that console was so 2013... ew. Nah I can't think of a reason pal, best to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobby Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 NEVER too late for a PS3, a massive library of games to keep you busy. I'd say go for it. Most PS4 games worth playing are on PS3 anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrasticAutomatic Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Absolutely, i'd recommend a PS3 over PS4 to anyone who isn't really into multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyondthegrave07 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Unless backwards compatibility is announced in the next 48 hours, I'd jump on the offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayResponsibly Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The PS3 will do you just fine. I got mine back in July, and the game selection is great. Most any game (except more recent titles) will be cheap now. I've gotten great games for less than $10 and that comes with a sweet feeling.

Lord_of_Ra Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) For $91!? As people said, it's a steal. Edit: but try it out first. Edited October 3, 2015 by Lord_of_Ra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanimeGamer Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I am also studying, and I also do not (as a result) have much spare time for gaming but yes definitely get one if you can find a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
