What I would do if I were you is go to gamestats.com, and click on the PS3 mini icon.

If there are games you like from that list, about 2 or 3, get the PS3 you so want.

But be told that the PS4 will be released sometime in late 2012. I just want to help you...that's why I'm writing this stuff.

I hope you make the right decision and thanks.

Thanks for the advice and i will check out that website but i already know all the games on Ps3 my brother has a Ps3 and loads of Great games such as Infamous, Fallout NV, Uncharted among thieves but it's all limited to me so i dont get to spend time on games like Fallout and other great titles. Do you think it will be released that early i mean look how long Ps2 has been around.

If you have friends that also own a PS3, go for it. We don't know the exact release of the PS4, and the PS3's production of games is not going to slow down soon. A good amount of friends that have the console as well is important becasue it allows for a much, much better mulitplayer experience.

Like I said, I'm not trying to sway you either way, but according to this, http://www.ps4playstation4.com/ps4-release-date-countdown-begins It is. PS2 has been around for 10 years, it just died recently this year. Hmmm, I don't know it's a tough choice. I would say think about it, if there is one game you like to play constantly, go for it.

Go for it - you won't regret it. Although if you plan to finish school, you may want to give it a pass. If I had this system and these games when I was 14, I couldn't see myself having any desire to go to school.

Better question: Was there ever a time in history when getting a playstation was a bad idea? I think not.

Don't use the site. Its rumors with hardly any evidence to back it up other than... other rumors. It says ps5 and ps6 is being developed as well which contridcits the theroy it made about sony 6 years plan. Beside move just came out so PS4 isn't gonna be release for a while

Bear in mind there is no official release date for the PS4, and that whenever a date becomes available sony will almost certainly defer the launch. Separately, the introduction of the PS3 affirmed that sony will not necessarily aim for a simultaneous launch across all countries, and that hardware distinctions may be apparent. The premium you would then pay for purchasing a console during its release window is something you would need to factor in, together with the limited availabilty of software generally. Additionally, whilst previous cycles have been consistent in terms of when hardware was released, its arguable that the PS3 has lead sony to be more cautious in its approach and that this generation will be longer as a result, particularly in view of the economy generally. The strongest flaw in your approach, however, is that you're viewing the PS3 as "just" a games console ...... it isn't.

Now would be a great time to get a PS3 especially if you an get it with the MOVE bundle or a good package deal with all the holiday sales coming up. Don't worry about that PS4 stuff. Most of it is rumor. People can only speculate when PS4 will come out, but there has been no offical word. Go get it. You will not be disappointed.

Congrats!! You will love it, the PS3 is an amazing machine. I recommend you play Uncharted 2 and by that time Gran Turismo 5 (hopefully lol). If you can the PS3 move bundle is an amazing deal and you get the 320GB version. Shoot me a friend invite if you want once you get it.

The lifespan of the PS3 will supposedly be 6-7 years so no, we won't see a PS4 anytime soon.

Always a good time to buy a PS3 btw ;-)

I bought a Ps3 today. Traded in a handful of X360 games I hadn't played in ages and got £70. Ended up getting the 250GB model with GT5 Prologue and Killzone 2. Not played any games yet, but when I first pressed the power button I was like "wait...is this thing even on?" :lol:

If your in the uk HMV have a great deal on the 320g with move + a free game from the chart (medal of Honour or Tigerwoods). If you dont like the game though speak to them and if your nice enough they should be able to swap the game for one of equal price as a unwanted return:) its what i did :) Now is a great time mate, i regreated for a long time leaving ps3 for xbox and finally im now on the system i prefer. You have a brilliant back log of games to catch up on all at a good price now, and 2011 looks really great for ps3 users. Do it as soon as your funds allow:)

I'm ditching the 360 this holiday and heading over to the PS3 camp also. Tons of greatest hits titles that I can pick up cheap, and I gave grown tired of giving M$ my money to play online. With all of the great exclusive games coming out next year, andM$ charging $10 more for Live,I can't see a better time to buy a PS3.

It is a good time to buy one however since it's close to holiday season and you've already waited this longyou may want to wait a little while longer to see if any good deals come along.

Ignore everyone that says the PS4 will be out soon.. no one knows if when/if a PS4 is going to come out, and considering they are still making games for PS2, and a LOT of people are still playing PS2.. the PS3 is going to be around for many, many years to come. They also recently came out with Move.. they wont be bothering to make a new system anytime soon. Right now its all about peripherals and accessories to give people a new gameplay experience.
