Hi, I'm sort of late into the nextgen, and I'm wondering whether it is too late to get a PS3, because the nextgen is almost over? when is the "ps4" and the xbox "720" coming out? I just want to know if I'm going to buy a ps3 and about a year after BAM! PS4! and i'm gonna be like WTF?

it is totally fine. i recently bought a ps3. the console is only 2 years old right now, and sony has supported the ps2 for 9 years now. they plan to do the same wit ps3. Plus, even the most extreme analysts think it won't be before 2013 when the new generation begins. trust me.

while no one knows when the next consoles will come out , i dont think it is any time soon

wii is selling like mad there in no hurry to come out with a new console

and ps3 and 360 are just starting to make money , they have to keep the current consoles going for several more years

I dont think "next gen" is almost over at all, like another post said, its only 2 years old and the ps2 has had many many years of support. Besides, Home isnt even out yet and although it will probably carry over to the PS4, im sure they want it on the PS3 for an extended period of time as well. The longer you wait the more you'll regret not getting one earlier!

It's probably one of the best time to get a PS3 right now. There's some great games coming out, the Playstation Network is starting to get its feet of the ground and as we enter the HD age, what better system to have.

I don't think you will see next-generation consoles for at least three years. I'd go with what systems are out now, because it will be awhile!

I don't see a new PS console coming for a few years although the other system will most likely have a new console very soon. Sony game consoles are around for several years while the other system wants to have a new system about every five years.

PS4 isn't coming out in like... years... Sony would have to make so many new features which they already have lots of on the PS3 wo new ideas could be a challenge.

Get it, SO many new games are coming out in and before November.

PS3 is fairly new and they said they will be supporting it for 10 years. PS4 won't come out for quite some time anyways.

I got my PS3 a few months ago and I have no regrets. The system will be alive and kicking for a while so don't worry about having a dated system. It's definitely a worthy investment to own a PS3. :)

There has yet to be a big leap technology wise to even consider a PS4. The cell is still fairly new.

Sony is giving the PS3 a 10 yr. life span (just like the ps2), i dont think they're gonna just say "forget the ps3, lets be first to the next next gen."

That's what so many seem to forget. The PS1 was developed around the CD disc drive. The PS2 was developed mainly to bring DVD into the market. The PS3 was released to get Blu-Ray technology started in the main stream markets. And there isn't any new technology being developed to replace this storage media so far.

Don't think Sony would be so hasty to make a new console. The PS3 hasn't even started to leave footprints.

GO GET THE PS3, I got one recently, and I don't regret any moment of it.

no worris bro, i just got my ps3 sometime in May 08, and i just got COD4 like 10/8/8. as long there are ppl out there playing the multiplayer it should be ok. the life span of ps3 should be around 10 years or more i hope =D just get the ps3 you wont even be thinking about other consoles =D no regrets.

I would actually argue that now is the best time to get a PS3. Seriously.

And dont worry, the PS3 (and this gen in general) has plenty of time of left. :)
