So I have been reading about the whole PSN being down thing these few days, and I'm have been waiting to get a PS3 (mainly because of God of War III), and I might plan to get PSN along with it.

So I'm wondering should I get it now? I'm planning to get the Slim PS3 so I don't know it the PS3 being down thing will effect it.

The PSN being down bit was a glitch in some of the older model's internal clock- slim PS3s were not affected at all. If you have been waiting to get a PS3 and are looking forward to God Of War III then wait no longer. Regarding the "getting PSN" if you have broadband you get PSN along with it- not like we have to pay for it, after all. ;)

I just bought a PS3 slim a few days ago and I'm not regretting it so far. I own both Xbox 360 and PS3 and I like both consoles a lot.

It's been a good time to buy a PS3. And you can't "get" PSN, it comes free with the PS3.

Yes and no.

Yes because there's just so many fantastic games to be had, with some amazing titles coming out this month, and in the year to come.

No because there's just so many fantastic games to be had, with some amazing titles coming out this month, and in the year to come. You're gonna have to resort to illegal activities to afford them, cause you're gonna crave them all.

If you wait a month or two they might introduce a nice bundle for $299. Outside of that, it's a good time to get a PS3.

The network was inaccessible for 24 hours, and that only affected the older "fat" model. If you bought a new slim, you wouldn't have had any problems at all.

It's fine to get a PS3 no matter which version you have. The clock thought it was leap year or something and that is why we had the error for about a day. If you want a system, go for it.

Unfortunately, people aren't allowed to ask if they should buy a PS3. Says so in this here sticky.
