Is a ps3 worth getting?

[CAT O' NINE TAILS]

It costs $164.62 by the way

[Cyber™]

the games are nice but the controlers sucks

[Zένø™ 👌]

it depends on you,do you really think a ps3 is worth this money for the exclusives titles like god of war,mgs4,uncharted etc?I would personally think not but i m poor so it doesnt matter,it matters what you think,would you pay 164 bucks for exclusives?Other than exclusives games,i dont see the point of getting a ps3,you can grab a bluy ray player for way less money.

it means the current generation of consoles CONSIDERABLY more powerful than the PS3 and PCs even more so.

Understand if you buy a PS3 you are buying technology that existed before smart phones

Are you saying that becuse the ps3 tech is older the system will have problems easily and will be harder to work with?

consoles are pretty easy to use, if you don't know how to use a PS3 it's a miracle you even turned on your computer to make this post

When i meant more probles i meant like it crashes and brakes easily.

And fyi the computer working miracle is nothing compared to what i have been through.

every 18 months computer power doubles. (consoles are not PCs but they are computers). PS3 was released 9 years ago, the same year New Horrozions Spacecraft was launched

Moore's Law states that the number of transistors that could be fitted on an integrated circuit doubles every eighteen months or two years, more transistors do not make computers more "powerful" alone.

thank you for clarifying the specifics.

In general it means that a computer from 9 years ago aint to powerful

A PC is something that needs to be maintained regulary, and you need to be most careful when using the web or interacting with random people. Consoles however, are strictly done so there is limited ways to "break" it.

PC has many more in-depth games than consoles, but you better have a good PC either built for cheap or paid for thousands. Consoles are set to play all games with a decent framerate and graphics.

Many children tend to roam the console lands, but here on steam you'll find plenty of idiots.

Games can be cheap for both PC and console.

A console begins to wear out after about 5 years of use. Unlike a Pc, you can just upgrade it so it extends its lifespan, and possibly power.

^ Just some stuff to help you decide what to stick with

Nah, you just want to update it to the latest version software if possible by the end of this year (before they discontinue any support). Then you can leave it alone (you don't even have to update if you don't want, but probably best to, if you can connect online)... it will be fine to simply play games and run bluray movies, just by throwing the disc into the system. No messing around "fun", it just either works or it doesn't, nothing much you can do, unless your going to mod the hardware too.

For example: Update features (ver 4.66)
http://uk.playstation.com/systemsoftwareps3/
- System software stability during use of some features has been improved.
- Depending on the software title, you may not be able to play without first updating the PS3 system software.

Consoles are good for kids who don't care about tweaking around or upgrading their system, rather just want to throw something in already optimized to work on that system and play away. Personally I find this extremely boring and ripped mine apart when I was a kid and mounted it into a AR.Drone Quadricopter to fly around with the Playstation controller, however I'm not considered a normal average kid.

At this rate I wouldn't really advise it. Most of the games that are on the PS3 now are available on the 4.

Just buy a PS4 and play the PS3 games through that.

ps4 doen't have backward compatibility as far as I know.

Yes i know there is a network but as far as i know i could get an entire system for much cheaper than a system with most of itt games on steam with a few games worth the entire console for (probably kh3)

The early Playstation 3's resembled Grills.

If you like the exclusives then yes, I had mine for them really.
