SRS_77_Awesum Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'd give a wholehearted YES! The Ps3 is a great system with a MASSIVE library. Everything for everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHotStickies Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Thanks for all the advice guys! I have contacted the seller to see if I can buy it from him and hopefully pick it up soon. What games do you recommend? There are so many I don't know where to start. The PS3 I am buying comes with The Last of Us, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and The Sims 3. Will probably try all of these apart from The Sims, not really my kind of game. I am interested in playing the Metal Gear Series on it and also looking at the Tomb Raider game.

GoldenShaka Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) WHAT??? A PS3 that's not a 12 GB one for less than $100?!?! Get it. Unless you want to pass a great catalog of fun games just because they're old. And about PS4 games, at this point most of games are indies with a retro vibe, multiplatform games, remaster editions and then Great AAA exclusives. It's still early for a huge catalog AAA exclusive games, the console has a little less than 2 years. Edited October 3, 2015 by GoldenShaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffyZorugelion Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Sure why not. The PS3 has a great library of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Wow, under 100 bucks? You shouldn't have asked, you should have gone for it immediately Just make sure it isn't a scam. Because 500GB PS3 (not to mention with games) is a deal of the century (pun intended ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilumixZ Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Absolutely , so many unbelievable games, make sure you pick up The last of us if you get a PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONNY-1992-_- Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I think you have found your answer! I'd like to contribute also though and say that it would be a great idea to go for a PS3 now. You can buy one at a cheap price and it has a huge number of amazing Games available and most you can purchase in used condition pretty cheap. You don't have to pay to do online and there are still Games that are active Online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExHaseo Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It's more worth it now than it's ever been. It has an enormous library, and tons of great games. Since they've been out a while, most of these great games are dirt cheap now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 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? Get the PS3. It has a great library (something that can't be said currently for the PS4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy_rules Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Easy answer - buy one. You have so much of a back catalogue to go at that you will pick up loads of games on the cheap. Try and pick up some games you can play with your fellow students - you will have memories for life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolarCat02 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I love my PS3. As for games, sounds like you got some good ones with it already. I would recommend adding Skyrim to that collection, as well. If you like RPGs, I highly recommend picking up this game. Swordplay, magic, dragons, tons of different quests... Get one of the disks that come bundled with the DLC on the disk,it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartBros Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 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? I second this wholeheartedly. I don't have a PS4 either, and don't intend to buy one anytime soon. PS3 still has a lot of life left in it yet, so if you can pick up a cheap bundle, then go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcine36 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I was a student some time ago... And I'll tell you one thing; you won't probably have as much spare time for gaming as you have now for a long time ;-) After uni, you'll probably start working, then family. Now I have 2 children and have even less time for gaming than I used to. So my vote would be; buy it, it's now or never ;-) It's pointless to wait, unless you plan to wait until retirement ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicNogg4 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I say go for it, there are many cheap games now too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effdeegee Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I would definitely say yes. There's like 1,000+ games that don't require online and/or dlc so, that's a lifetime of playing and enjoyment for super cheap. The graphics are quite acceptable and the games are dirt cheap. Throw in that it's also one of the cheapest bluray players on the market and has Netflix; those are just bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kishnabe Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I would recommend slim PS3...not the horrible Super Slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maphantom238 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm sure everyone here has answered your question, but I agree with them; I once traded in my last PS3 for some MMO Cred, and regretted ever since. I was lucky to get a new one for cheap and trust me, even if you play all the games you get 100%, there are many games which have replay value. For me, that would be the LittleBigPlanet series - even after you get the Platinum trophy, you can still enjoy hopping on for a bit, customizing your Sackboy or pod, and making (or playing!) some great levels. So yes, even if you never play for the Platinums, at least get the games which continue to be playable after you finish the story. Although if you just want to 'won and done', the Kingdom Hearts series you can't go wrong with, or Ratchet and Clank if weird fantasy crossovers aren't your thing.

Anyone else agree that the slim makes less noise, or would recommend the slim over the super slim model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
