    I will be keeping my one. I've way to many games.. and hate selling them .. PS4 for the sitting room. PS3 for the bedroom :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 136 ✭✭Hierro_4


    Keeping it of course. Far too many games that I haven't played on it, great machine too. No way would I get what it's worth if I was to sell it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 27,322 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Deciding whether to keep it or my Xbox 360 to be honest.

    Keeping it, was originally gonna keep my 360 as only got it last year and ended up having more games for that then my ps3 but with all the crap Microsoft have tried to pull with xbox one, banning peoples 360 consoles few months ago because they downloaded a free game off another store and not allowing people to connect to Internet until 22nd because they received their xbones early, I just don't want to give them anymore of my money full stop. Managed to sell my 360 yesterday.
    The value you get with ps plus is amazing and Sony do not screw their customers over.

    I'll be keeping mine, keeping its pride of place in the collection...right beside my PS1 & PS2. Too many games to get through on it, plus I rarely get rid of console stuff

    Maybe in bizarro land. Sony are as bad as if not worse than Microsoft, don't delude yourself otherwise.

    Keeping mine, I bought it only this year, to play some games I missed out on being an Xbox owner.

    PS+ is stupidly good Retr0, check out Games with Gold from MS to see how it compares. Granted you only have the games available to you as long as you're a PS+ member, but for €50 a year, it's astonishing value

    Not to mention the PS+ is required for multiplayer on the PS4 so you can keep those games for another 6 years.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,237 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    I have a 60GB PS3 in absolutely pefect condition. Watched Blu-Rays and a few games and that's about it.

    I think it'll be worth afew bob to the retro collectors in a few years so I'll probably pack it up back into its box (yes I like to keep all the boxes and inserts of my consoles :D). I dont have the space under the TV anymore for 5 consoles :D

    Multiplayer I've not that much interest in, the free PS3, Vita, & soon to be PS4 games every month though all from the one subscription, really make it worth it though

    It Had to be Retr0gamer gamer giving out about sony like he only be happy playing some odd JRPG there no one has a clue about on his custom modded 60 HZ SNES

    While us are happy to pay 50 euros a year for games for the VITA, PS3 and PS4 now

    Since i got PSN+ i have getting barely any games for my Vita and just play what ever i get for free every month for it as like 2 games a month pays for PSN + in its self


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭tmc86


    Going to give mine away prob to the Children's hospital or someone who could do with one.

    I don't have much time to play anymore so I can't see myself playing the ps3 & 4 so no need for both!

    I am the same. I only played multiplayer for Mass Effect 3 and Bioshock 2.

    The free games and the cloud saves are more important to me.

    Why get personal? Surely everyone is allowed an opinion? :) Plus, the Snes rules all

    I wasn't even talking about PS+ so I don't know where this nonsense came from?

    I was talking about apparently Sony now being some bastion fo consumer goodwill when they are very far from it. For example:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal

    Just because MS screwed up doesn't mean Sony are suddenly the saviors of the industry. They are a global company that only cares about taking money from you in any way they can. they don't respect you and thinking otherwise is very naive.

    It's the same with PS+. There's no arguing it's excellent value but Sony are offering it because subscription models are far more lucrative than selling boxed games and gaurantee a steady income, not as some reward to the customer.

    MS are as bad as well and Nintendo might even be worse.

    I still don't get the point you're trying to make.

    You claimed Sony are as bad if not worse then Microsoft.

    All companies out to make a profit is no shock, so how exactly are Sony worse then Microsoft?

    I've highlighted the contradiction in your post there. No where did I flat out say Sony are worse than Microsoft.

    I think buying a PS4 based on how they treat customers is silly considering their track record. Sony are well capable of pulling a U-turn on certain features (not saying they will).

    Buying a PS4 because you think it's better value though is reasonable.

    ??. Not a huge issue but MS don't offer any extra value in buying their console during the 360 phase.

    I'm going to keep the PS3..I still have a few games left to play on it and maybe get the odd easy trophy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,509 ✭✭✭NotorietyH


    I'm keeping the PS3, will mainly use it as a blu-ray player for a while as the PS4 doesn't support 3D blu-rays yet, and I've been on an ill-advised 3D movie kick the last few months. Jurassic Park 3D just arrived from Amazon. There'll still be the odd game I want to play on it with PS Plus too, and will probably move it to the bedroom eventually for streaming and Netflix and the like. Oh yeah, and the streaming, which the PS4 doesn't support yet. PS3 will get a bit of use for a while.


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,374 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    If anyone has one with a broken disc drive they want to sell me then let me know.

    Don't care about the disc drive, just want it for netflix etc.
