Thinking of buying a PS3...
Re: Thinking of buying a PS3...
I would imagine that getting a 60GB PS3 and holding onto it for a later date would be rather lucrative. Unless the PS4 has 4 generations of backwards compatibility, which it should. If the games are disk-based there's no excuse.

Maybe it will emulate PS2 but have no PS3 capabilities!

It won't be that valuable. They're not even worth much now.sabrage wrote:I would imagine that getting a 60GB PS3 and holding onto it for a later date would be rather lucrative.

Thanks guys, I've got my PS3 up and running and got Skyrim, Little Big Planet, and Deus Ex Human Revolution. Also, I just bought Sonic Generations of Ebay, so should have that soon

They routinely go for more than a new Slim PS3. How is that not worth much?ZenErik wrote:It won't be that valuable.

Anyways, the Slims emulate PS1 games still so as has been said, the only real reason to get a 60gb is for PS2 games.
Likely my favorite FPS of the last 6 years. It's just so fucking good.Reprise wrote:Thanks guys, I've got my PS3 up and running and got Skyrim, Little Big Planet, and Deus Ex Human Revolution. Also, I just bought Sonic Generations of Ebay, so should have that soon

Re: Thinking of buying a PS3...
The latest reports within the industry say that Sony might be abandoning the Cell chip for the PS4. If that's the case, I don't see PS3 backwards compatibility being very likely.sabrage wrote:I would imagine that getting a 60GB PS3 and holding onto it for a later date would be rather lucrative.

Hmm, have been unable to connect to PSN for the past hour or two. Is this likely a normal intermittent problem or some kind of fault?
