Basically I don't want to spend $400 and have to turn around and buy a PS4 because the PS3 is out of date.

oh yes because the chances of your system breaking down are under 1% While the xbox is about 30%

I really dont think that makes a console "worth" getting even tho its a good addition, but yes the game line up is getting better and better and as i said before you have a good 5-7 years till ps4

You misunderstood, just because the PS3 will last 10 years, that doesn't mean there won't be a PS4 in that time frame

Yea def worth getting now.You wont see the ps4 are store shelves for about another 3 or 4 years i think. i would shop around as some places have sales on them.Plus i think i read that one of the new deals is, a 160gig ps3 with killzone2,LBP and uncharted for 499.99 wich is a great deal. all 3 of those games are amoung the very best games out so far this gen.

Letmekilluplz

i could tell you didnt have a PS3 as soon before i opened this and now im certain...here let me school ya right quick on why youre not gonna worry about havinga PS3 let alone PS4 coming out anytime soon...

you see i have quite a few friends...and a couple of those friends had 360's....well see they didnt want to get PS3 because they were a little worried just like you also spending 400 is a biotch ill admit that(hell i spent 600 on mine) but see then one of their 360s broke and as for the other guy all he wanted to do was play Gears 2 and hed be done with it....so moving on...they get a PS3....next thing you know theyre yelling at themselves wondering why they didnt get it earlier...

whats the moralof my story you askmy friend?

dont worry, buy a ps3 and be happy...

I know what forum this is. But really, is it still worth it to buy a PS3? That question makes no sense. Or the convince me to buy the PS3. All of them are the same. What do you think people are going to tell you here. Hell alot of the older consoles are still worth buying even though their successors have come out.

He was probably just worried that he would blow $400 on a PS3 and then have the PS4 come out next year or something. Others just need some advice from people

He wants me to give the guy advice,...Advice I can give. Letmekillyouplz, yes the PS3 is still worth getting. Next time just google it. And then again what does it matter, even if the PS4 came out next year the PS3 would not be out of date to you, I mean you never owned one before so either way it would be a new console.

What's with this PS4 stuff going around lately? People are now fearing buying a soon-to-be-out-of-date console?

It has barely begun.

It's not so much the question, as it is the logic behind the question. We have no idea what his tastes and preferences are, and he should be able to tell for himself what he wants or does not want. And it's somewhat pointless to ask this on the PS3 forum because the answer is obvious.

Exactly. And as I said before the PS3 would still be a brand new console to him even if the PS4 came out.

Look this thread is useless. Once again Last your on the wrong side. This guy knows better for coming into a PS3 forum and asking is the PS3 worth getting. That is like going to Hershey park and asking if chocolate is good.

Basically I don't want to spend $400 and have to turn around and buy a PS4 because the PS3 is out of date.

No, don't do it. You shouldn't get to play all the amazing PS3 we're enjoying now. That's a privilege restricted only to certain people and you have just been disqualified. I'm terribly sorry. No PS3 for you. :(

If he never actually owned the system, and he was NOT talking about the quality of games or value why would he even ask the question? Even 5 years down the road the PS3 would "Still be worth getting"

He just wants the latest and greatest system for a long enough time to justify the $400, everything else seems to be irrelevant to him

Lets see, well the PS3 is the newest Playstation console out on the market....So what should that tell him. Even if the PS4 came out next year his 400 dollar purchase would still be justified. He would have the whole past library of games to play and the new ones to come. Either way he was a fool for asking this.

Nobody knows how to think anymore. That's the problem I've been expressing for a while now. Just a sea full of stupid questions that doesn't require a PhD to figure out.
