for another 100 euro you could buy a ps4 on adverts i am sure.

Hes asked for a ps3 and its cheaper so im not gonna tell him otherwise lol. A lot of his friends have the ps3 so thats why he wants it. Ill also need to pick up a cheap 2nd hand tv for it so trying to keep costs down as much a possible. His god parents might be upgrading their tv so if they are ill get them to give him the old one as his present. Its a 32 inch tho and i was hoping for something smaller, maybe 19/21 inch.
Theres a cx in cork so ill ring them to see what they have.
What should i be looking for in GB? Our wifi is shocking, 2 mbs on a good day so online gaming with his friends is probably ruled out if that make any difference to what i should buy?
Thanks.

But ps3 games are not compatible, so a ps4 as the newer product will work out way more expensive for games.

Cex are much cheaper

https://ie.webuy.com/search/index.php?stext=Ps3&section=&refinecat=Playstation3+Consoles&CategoryID=810

Defo advise buying in cex over gamestop

Avoid gamestop at all costs they are rip off pricewise

Also with storage go for the 120gb minimum

Cheers. 120gb slim seems to be the one to look for? The 160gb isnt much more tho, is it worth the xtra few €€? Dumb question maybe but whats the storage used for? Memory in games or for downloading games? My last console was a ps1 so im out of touch.
I can check it online myself. Was just trying to ring to ask about warranty.

Goat Simulator PS4 down to €3.59 on PSN, had to give it a go for that price:)

It gets boring very fast. The lads that developed it recommended that users should dl it from torrent sites and not buy it as it was just a pi$$ take.

Why oh why do I buy these?
I've already got a massive backlog, buying the witcher 3 couldn't possibly be a good idea.

And yet I'm staring at the store page thinking "ah why not?"

Looking at getting The Wolf Among Us, really enjoyed the Borderlands game and GOT one. Anyone any input about it

maximoose

If you liked Borderlands and GoT I'd say you'll enjoy TWAU, one of Telltale's best.

So The Last Of Us is 23 euros now, you think it will be lower than that soon or should I grab it now while its on sale.
I have a bitch of a back log hence why Im asking

Think I bought it for 12 quid before, so I'd consider waiting.

Its an old enough game at this stage, at the very least I would say it will definitely be THAT price again so if you are talking months of a backlog before you would get to play it, I would hold off.

Thinking of picking up either Arkham Knight or AC: Syndicate in this sale. Haven't played either series in a while but enjoyed them in the past, I last played Arkham City and AC: Black Flag and liked those. What are the recent games like?

I finished Assassin's Creed Unity a few weeks ago. I thought it was good fun. Got Syndicate in Smyths last week as it happens. Good value for €30

Exclamation Marc

Syndicate is brilliant, I love it.

i hope they make another Black Flag game, not down to the story or missions which were terrible and very repetitive but the whole pirate setting was class!

TWAU was my 2nd favourite game in the series (TFTB was my fave), GOT was my least fave
