Nihiris- Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 People laughed at the 10 year life cycle claim and PS3 matched that, plus an additional year. Console went through hell for the first few years, but man what a turn around it had. Turned into a fantastic console and had an amazing library. RIP you beautiful bastard.

And sold new games for PS2 for years after that. Um, the PS2 only ceased production in 2013. And on top of that, games had pretty well ended being made around 2011, outside of the odd FIFA or PES game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my Sony reps word for it when they said they stopped production in 2011 and my PS2 bundles (Toy Story, maybe) would not be replenished after they sold through, and that was at the end of 2012. I still had at least three new PS2 titles in stock at the time, in addition to a dozen or so older titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean look at it, your PSN acct is multi linked between PS3, PS4 and vita. So while game servers may close, and production may cease. I think 5 or 10 more years down the road, if you earn PS3 trophies, PSN will still be active on your PS3 so you can link it all together I have no doubt that trophies will always sync, that's why I specified the online trophies. Eventually the game servers for PS3 games will go down. Maybe the Sony games themselves will stay up, but there's no real way of knowing for sure how they're going to handle that. So, might as well go for all the online trophies you can now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 As long as psn stays open for a good while longer for PS3. be interesting when other regions stop production for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Yay Ps3! Probably the most expensive console I ever bought though my fat is still going strong. I admit I've played way more games on the 360 though, the first few years wasn't that great for the ps3 imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 As long as I can still earn trophies on mine and PSN remains open, I don't really care. I still have tons of games to play on my PS3 (Plowing through them atm) and stopping production in Japan isn't going to affect me one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowwindow7 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I hope we'll have all of the digital ps3 games on the ps4 store to " purchase!! " not to freaking rent them and streaming them like how the PS Now is doing. we have ps2 games on ps4, even though still not all games but we still can buy them and play them as much as we can, why it can't be the same on ps3 games?

soniq Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 As long as PS3 games make enough money through either digital copies on PSN or streaming through PSnow I doubt they'll shut down the servers for licence verification and trophy syncing, but finishing all of those online multiplayer trophies sooner than later might be a good idea. ?

A_KlR_A Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I sold my PS3 so i could buy PS4. Also i sold games for PS3. But... i was thinking it was very bad idea, so... few weeks ago i have bought PS3, and few games. and you know what. I dont regret it. Games are so cheap, and there are more great games than on PS4 that i want to play. I regret that i have bought PS4 on premiere (and sold my games, they were clean, and those which i have bought are... bweh...), but not buying PS3. Besides, now im only waiting for cyberpunk 2077 from CD RED PROJECT on PS4 and drop price of few games. Yeah... PS3 is great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am so regretful. Now got new PS3 and playing the games I have from my old account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it looks like the PS3 will be Sony's worst selling home console (over 80 million units is still far from a failure) there is no denying that it was a great system and it has a ton of classic games. Is there any stores that sell a brand new PS3? Because I really need one right now since my PS3 died. I ain't gonna lie, I am disappointed that it died that quickly, only lasting four years compare with my PS2 and Atari 2600 that still run perfectly. Then again, I had the Super Slim PS3 which I heard they aren't actually that good since some people reported that their Super Slim PS3 died a year after release.

Usually GameStop has pre owned ps3's that is still around my area. Of course you should go to Amazon since they always got what you need as a second option Edited June 2, 2017 by Superstarmaste1r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Target stores in my area have PS3s in stock, even though they have none on the website. Also my brother bought a PS3 from a Target in San Jose at the end of last year, so I'm fairly certain they're still available brand new in stores, even in California. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
