Reddit reviews PlayStation 3 500 GB System

$190.04 - PlayStation 3 500 GB System + $25.95 - The ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection

> There is a newer version of this item

Or you know, you could compare the recent NA PS3 Slim instead of a random Japanese one

You could still save a bit of money if you can cancel the ps3. Get the super slim (500 gb) for $220, then get gta v which should be $30 or so. That'll save you $50 you can use for games.

If you go to Glyde and are not afraid to wait a week or 2 you can get games often for $8-$12 or less...

Congrats on getting a ps3 and welcome to the PS family. It's a great great system. Oh - one more thing: if you can get a Playstation Plus subscription. 2 (sometimes more) free games each month, for $50 a year, less if you can find a deal.

Quick Amazon search came up with: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009DL2TBA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1454137346&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=ps3&dpPl=1&dpID=41pHW4%2BW0rL&ref=plSrch

They definitely still sell them new

If you're looking for one just to play a couple games and blu-rays, I'd get the super slim.

I would look at Amazon. They still see new ones.

You can't build a PC on pcpartpicker for that price.

This PS3 costs $246 and it's not even the cheapest model.

> Weekly payment £8.47

> Number of weeks 104

> Representative APR 94.7 %

> Total payable £880.88

If people do that.. no wonder they're poor.

You can buy the thing for £190 on Amazon

If Amazon is anything to go by then you can sell it from £150 onwards since it's in near-new condition.

Brand new, with Prime.

I don't know what you are thinking but there is this.

Persona 5 PS3 from Amazon

Playstation 3 from Amazon

---

Both new, not preowned.

Don't try pull that bullshit, the PS3 production may have ceased it's still perfectly feasible to buy the game and a new PS3 in the wild.

You might have an argument 12-18 months from now. But the emulation isn't being done in 12 months.

---

The game is also a digital download on PS3, so it's going to be a while before you can argue it's truly not available.

>I want a pc port. I will buy the game if its on my platform. They just dont want to sell it to me.

Which is irrelevant to that fact that you can legimately buy a new PS3 copy of the game to be a legally covered emulation. A copy which Atlus will see money from.

Your stance on this is the very reason why piracy gets emulation in shit.

Because you have an "I want it my way" attitude. And are looking for any possible excuse you can find to justify your actions.

Which is worse because emulation has provided you with a legally approved way of playing the game. Provided you go and buy a fucking physical copy.

Still available new for $224.

hmmm that does not seem legit at all, no one is going to buy 40 games when they just buy there console. infact, I only usually buy like 3-5 games.

248$ in all. . . that is so expensive am I right?



Im getting a pc for myself soon though and Ill play it along with my xb1 and ps3 the only reason i made this comment is because if I see people making up bullshit like that I will call you out :).

I feel like you'd like the switch, and with the price if you want the games it'll pay off in the long run! But, if you think it'll be a tad pricey, the PS3 has Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale (kind of like smash) and Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Transformed (kind of like MK and some people like it more but they are definitely two different games that tackle kart racing in two different ways -- I have played and loved both).

A cursory search shows that a basic New PS3, Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, and Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Transformed will cost about $225 and you also have the entire PS3 library at your whim whenever you want it. BUT the Switch will not only come out with newer games including Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Binding of Issac Rebirth+ but will also receive all the amazing, critically acclaimed Nintendo first-party titles. In my opinion the Switch will be worth it, but the PS3 is a cheaper and safer alternative even if you throw in a couple more controllers and maybe another game (especially because it doubles as a blu-ray player).

Amazon.ca?

No it isn't. A brand new PS3 is literally 5 dollars cheaper than a new PS4. No one is letting a used PS4 go for $150 unless they're desperate, which isn't the norm.

PS3: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-500-GB-System/dp/B009DL2TBA/ref=lp_14210711_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1498080279&sr=1-1

PS4: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Slim-500GB-Console-Uncharted-Bundle/dp/B01LRLJV28/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1498080299&sr=1-1&keywords=playstation+4

And seriously don't act like PS4 was $250 when it was new. They cut the price in half within less than 3.5 years, that's horrible as far as a loss goes for Sony. Both consoles were $500 new. You could build a better PC in 2013 for $500, and you can build a better PC now for $250, as well as $500.

Furthermore, stop acting like these consoles are sold at the price paid for the components. They aren't. The alleged cost to build an Xbox One was $471, which is total bullshit. If true, it means the components in these consoles are total trash or were supplied at a massive discount. A more accurate comparison would be "Build a comparable PC for $800 - $1000 and then just cut that price in half".

I just easily threw together an AMD system with better parts for $430, hell I could swap out the RX560 for a 1060 and it would still be under $500.
