Lately ive Been saving for a PS4 but the waiting is so painful I don't even think I can do it anymore. I have my 360 go keep me at bay but there's only like 13 gigs on it so I don't really have that much to play. Then I see a 320 gig ps3 system on amazon for 90 bucks, so now I'm trying to decide whether to buy it or not, sense it's 2015 and all i'm not so sure if I should just jump right and get it and it gets discontinued next year and it's 100 bucks out the window. So do you think its worth it or should I keep saving?

ps3 can keep you going and has great titles like last of us, persona, etc, but it looks like you wont be able to afford any games anyway. i would keep going till you can afford the ps4 tbh...

Your call. No definite yes or no answer here. You say you already got a 360, so that should cover your basic game-playing needs of last generation. Sure, thee are a lot of good PS3 exclusives to be played, but unless you are going to buy only exclusives for the PS3 and play those, I wouldn't bother just yet. If you are without a next gen system at this point, you are better off continuing to save and buy a PS4 or Xbox One as soon as possible.

It all comes down to how much you want to play the Ps3 exlcusives since you already have a 360. You have to ask yourself do you want to play Ps3 exclusives or play the latest and greatest titles on Ps4 instead?

If it was me I would get a Ps4 first. So you can at least have a prev gen system (360) and also a current gen system (Ps4). Also keep in mind that Ps4 will have some Ps3 exclusives (Ex. Last of Us , Uncharted Collection coming soon) , and those two game series right there may have been the biggest exlusives to Ps3 anyway lol.

Yeah Ps4 first then just very gradually save for Ps3. If you get a used older fat model ps3 you can get one close to only $100 for one. And all teh games for it are super cheap too.

If you have a steady job then just keep saving you'll eventually be able to get both. Wish you the best.

I would get the PS4. You already have a 360 to play most of last gen's best games and the PS3's best exclusives (God of War 3, The Last of Us, and the Uncharted Trilogy) are all being remastered on the PS4, so between the 360 and the PS4, you really won't be missing out on much by not owning a PS3.

@dalawdfarquad: it depends... Are there games u really want to play or that are coming out for the PS4? Holidays are coming up and Persona 5, Dragon Quest Heroes, Tales of Zesteria, Fallout 4 are coming out but this is the first time there have been multiple games in excited about.

I think the library is pretty paltry for systems that have 2 years under their belts. That said if u have a 360 already it's a tough choice. There are a ton of PS3 exclusives that could take years to beat all of them and I'm pretty sure there will be some black Friday deals this holiday for PS4 systems. Probably $50-$100 off plus game bundles.

If saving $400 is hard for u I'd sock the money away for this holiday season and bear a couple of months of playing some 360 titles. I'm sure u haven't played all of them yet and there cheap now. Or get a credit card and pay it off like $50 a month. If u paid off the PS4 within 8 months, you'd only pay like an extra $50 in interest even if the interest rate is 25% which is high interest rate. But pay at least the min payment if u do that, late charges are killer.

If u have anything u can sell do that. I wouldn't trade your old hardware or games to GameStop or anything unless there doing a bad ass promo like an extra 50% trade when upgrading to a PS4 or an extra $100-$150 trade credit when u trade in an old system towards a PS4 or both, which they have done recently.

Or sell your stuff on craigslist or eBay. You'll get a lot more than what a game store will give u and if u can only get $0.10-$3 for a game, it's almost not worth it unless absolutely hate the game.

Here are some awesome PS3 games. Most will be under $10 and stuff like God of War and Uncharted are dirt cheap... Like $3-$5 a piece.

Best of PlayStation Network vol. 1

Demon's Souls

Yakuza 4

And that's just from looking at my PS3 exclusives not including some of my niche JRPGs which is u like, there are a ton for PS3... If not, we'll there's still a ton of great exclusives I didn't mention.

Also if u need to save money and still want to play games, u have a week to play a game and return it to GameStop. It's like a free week rental. I did that for almost a year bci had to save money and still wanted to game but really, that was when a lot of the games I mentioned were less than a year old and still expensive.

Hope that helps. Once u get a PS4 or Xbox One, sometimes it's hard to go back to older systems (at least for some). Sorry for the long exposition but that's my thing. Again I hope this has been helpful and good luck.

It depends on you. In my opinion you can't go wrong at all. If you buy the ps4, you're into the next generation with good games already:
-The Witcher 3
-Bloodborne
-Infamous Second Son
-The Order 1886
-Until Dawn (haven't played that)
-Metal Gear Solid 5 PP and Ground Zeroes
-Rocket League
You have God of War 3 Remastered, Last of Us Remastered, GTA5, Journey, Rouge Legacy.
New games like The Last Guardian, Horizon, Uncharted 4, Persona 5, Kingdom Hearts 3, The Division, Fallout 4, Just Cause 3, Star Wars Battlefront, Mafia 3, Deus Ex and Dishonored. (there is COD, NFS, Assasin's Creed, Fifa, PES but I'm not looking forward into these games).

I personally would go for a PS4. People hated on it cause it has no games worth it, but all the games I've mentioned were good-amazing to me. The only ''meh'' game for me was The Evil Within. Otherwise the reasons I would buy a ps3 are Catherine, Ni No Kuni, Demon's Souls, Read Dead Redemption, Ratchet and Clank games and Nier (I think you can play all of those on x360, besides Demon's Souls and Ni No Kuni). I would say Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Journey, GTA5 and The Last of Us but all of those will be released on ps4 or already are out. So in my opinion, wait, and get the ps4, you won't be disappointed. :)
