PS3 still worth buying?

1. SONY has a TEN year plan planned out so support will begin to diminish by 2017 or around there......

2. The online is great, only no cross game chat.

3. It is a multimedia system, NOT just a game console so if you like Video Games, Photos, Free Online, Videos, Social Applications; this is the system for you.

I think you may get a somewhat biased response on this board :P.

In my opinion, yes, it's still worth a purchase and will be for a few years to come. I doubt Sony will be releasing a PS4 (or equivalent) any time soon, since they've promised a 10-year lifespan for the PS3.

It is a great gaming console and an even better overall media package if you exploit the many features it has to offer. The Blu-ray player is the obvious stand-out feature, and if you're looking for a HD-video player as well as a gaming system, it makes the PS3 a bargain.

The multiplayer experience is great on Call of Duty 4 and 5. The only annoyance I have is when games abrutply end due to the host leaving the game, however, this happens on the Xbox 360 as well, so it isn't a PS3-specific issue. I haven't yet played Resistance 2, but I've heard positive things about it.

MGS 4 , GTA 4 , R1/R2 , GT5P , Uncharted 1/2 , Killzone 2 , LBP , free net , multyplatforms and everything else ...

Short answer : y

Long answer ; yessssssssssssssssss!

I'm thinking of getting a PS3. Is it still worth buying? how is the multi-player for games like resistance and call of duty 4? Is its support going to diminish over the coming years?zoso1019

Still worth buying? When was it not worth buying? Of course, buy one!codalloo

Well said. I've always been a fan of PS3 over Xbox 360 or Wii, for the games and the multiple features it has over the other two consoles.

I'm actually thinking about buying another one.. Mine is hooked up via HDMI to my Sony 52" XBR in the front room, and somebody is always on it.. My son playing, or my daughter singing. This poor old dad needs his own to play with, so I'm contemplating an 80GB, and getting maybe a 36" HDTV for my bedroom. Stinkin' kids, always ruining my fungreggr107

It's the WORTHIEST!
