Caesar Clown Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Keep it. I still have my PS1 and PS2 even though I don't play them. They're there for the eventual day when I want to play an old game I like, and I won't have to run out and try to buy an old console. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luzuka_ Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I use my PS3 as my PS4 , especially with the PS +. In Addition, in October, I finished two games on PS3 that i never had time to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamalierPR13 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 KEEP!!!! the PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F22-Razgriz Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Keep both. When I first got my PS4, that's all I played for about a month. Then I went back to my PS3, and have played it far more than my PS4 ever since. right here and right here i'd keep both, i still have a lot of older consoles and its good to keep them, incase you wanna play them from time to time If you'll ask me., I'd say -KEEP IT- I had the same exact experience as per our good friend @ExHaseo. basically, right now, you are caught and soaked in the moment with your PS4, which is not bad, I mean, you have spend that much money for it, so why not enjoy the moment and utilize it. But once the tide starts to slow down and you start to ponder on games you have not even tried on the PS3 (like exclusives) then that's the time you'll end up regretting things and why on earth had you sold the PS3 in the first place. Another perfect example would be... remember when you were so IN-LOVE with that junior-high gal and u start to utter words like "you are mine and am yours" like FOREVER. And BAM! Once misunderstanding starts to creep and the two of you end up breaking up you'll find yourself saying "dafaq was I thinking/doing". (of course, it may or may not be the exact scenario/case) Am just trying to paint for you the bigger picture. Lastly., I hate myself for buying the PS4 that early. Like a month when it launches here in Singapore. (well thanks to Sir Parker, for posting his PS4 during the NOV 2013 launch in the U.S.) I should have waited for the limtd etd. design etc and for that I really REGRET my decision... Now, I WANTED SO BAD that MGSV TPP limited Edition unit. Don't be so hard on your PS3 either, let it rest for the time being in its box and one day, just give it another go. BTW, am also into the idea of keeping all the console in MY generation. That way...my two boys would be able to appreciate the technology and go memory lane on our 'future' game room.

Feral Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Keep it. You never know when you might want to play some other games that are only on PS3. Also gives you more to play when you're waiting for new games to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuzzieWingman Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Keep it. Ive barely touched anything since getting my ps4. I still have my PS3 which I find useful for storing my excess vita games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AffectatiousDonk Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Definitely keep it, mine looks great sitting on the shelf. The real trick is not to buy any games for it which also sit on the shelf looking pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntenseFATE98 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I've never owned a PS3, but I do have a Gameboy, DS, PSP and PS2 (Besides my Vita). Even though I don't play on 'em anymore, I still kept 'em because they were a part of my awesome childhood If you aren't facing any problems financially, I would recommend keeping the PS3. If you sell it, you will definitely regret it at point or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xel Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 PS+ alone is one of the reasons why you should keep both. Better yet, get a Vita, so you could have 6 freebies on all Sony platforms every month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaivRules Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I don't know where you live but here in Italy a ps3 is not worth more than 150$ (new). So I think selling it to make a couple hundred dollars is not possible. I was talking about selling the PS3 along with whatever gaming catalog OP has. No point in keeping games for a system OP wants to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Blackout_Kid Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Keep it. I have a stack of PS3 games sitting next to my tv that I still need to play. Nothing wrong with having both. I wish I still owned quite a few systems that I got rid of when jumping to the next big thing (NES, SNES, Saturn, Genesis and my PS2). You will definitely regret it if you get rid of all those games without playing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrumpetOfDojima Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Think I'll dedicate some time to play through my PS3 games. If I ever see a good sale for PS3 games I'll grab some. But I'll just have it there as my PS4 I'll always have PS+ on. So why not grab some free games I might not have played before on the PS3.Seems like a reasonable choice. I won't have a huge amount of games I won't know what to do with. I also get more bang for my buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiraxKira Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I'm having a similar struggle. Amazon just released a new PS4 bundle with Uncharted Collection, Syndicate, and FF Type-0, all for $350. I've been waiting for KH3 to come out before I make the switch. I'm hoping that by the time it comes out, they'll have increased the hard drive and decreased the price, or at the least make a nice special edition console like they did for Star Wars Battlefront. I hate to buy a new PS4 just yet because I have so many games I'm trying to finish on the PS3 and honestly, I'm just not ready to say goodbye to it. I'll keep it since the PS4 isn't backwards compatible, but I just can't decide if I should buy it now or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was iffy about going to new gen so soon (2 years is so soon, if we assume that it lasts 10 years like the other gens did before the newer ones got released). It's honestly a great console. Most of the games on it are great and it's such a fun new experience. I got the Uncharted Collection PS4 brand new about 2-3 months ago so I haven't had it too long. But I've been enjoying it ever since I purchased it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-i-g-o Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 In my opinion I think you should stay with both PS3 and PS4 and the reason for that is because you have games for PS3 like you said, but you also to stay with PS4 you need to get PS+ and that gives you games for both consoles, take the example from me, I only have PS4 now because my PS3 is broken, and now I want to play alot of games on PS3 but I can't Keep them both!

MMDE Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) If you got a lot of PS3 games, selling your PS3 sounds really dumb IMO. It practically renders all your PS3 games unplayable. So many cheap games for PS3 now! Edited November 16, 2015 by MMDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xMettx Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I still have both, mainly play the PS4 but I'm still buying older PS3 games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireHotStickies Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Both, just picked up both my PS3 and PS4 recently and having a great time playing both older and newer games. Only get rid of your PS3 if you are absolutely certain there are no more games you want to play and you don't want to replay any (although it's always fun to play through an old favourite!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danishtherock Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I also own a ps3 right now and planning to get a ps4 very soon! But im not gonna sell my 320gb ps3 ;-) If you ask me why? Probably I would not sell my ps3 because some past generation gamesare epic and it ewon't come to ps4 as a remastered version like Crisis, Exclusives like Heavy rain,Resistance,killzone(thou I haven't played yet)Another thing is that ps3 is free for online games n all..But genuinely I luv my ps3 Even if ps5 comes in future ;-) I would advice you to keep your ps3 too :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventCloud7 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Keep. When the disc reader laser died on my old 80GB PS3, I looked up some YouTube vids and replaced it to get it back into top condition. When the 80GB storage proved insufficient, I installed a 500GB hdd to accomodate the growing library of game data, demos and digital games. When it finally croaked as a result of tampering with the motherboard to the point where the console could only load to the XMB screen, unable to even play demos anymore, I purchased a slim model "Last of Us" Bundle PS3 and transferred a huge library of games and data, which I had amassed since the the system's launch, onto the new model. The PS3's design allows for easy troubleshooting, simple customization, and convenient hdd storage transfer - features that are rather difficult for its competitors. It's just too great a system that can still contend with the early launch titles of the current gen. Eventually, gamers who sold their PS3s will become nostalgic for them and will find themselves enjoying some favorites all over again after a repurchase. I eventually hopped on the PS4 hype train and bought the system a year after launch. While I enjoy the PS4, I could never part with the PS3 even if the PS4 were to attain backwards compatibility for the simple fact that I don't take advantage of trade-ins or pre-owned resale. Besides, the PSN has had so many great deals that I'm stuck with a massive backlog of games, some 100 or so. I'll get to those in due time, I suppose. I wish Sony allowed us to at least transfer or redownload previously purchased games on the PS4. How many times can one buy the same PS1, PS2 classic or multi-platform game? How about third party PC controllers? Are they still not compatible with the PS4? Playing a fighting game with anything but the console's controller is a godsend.
