Would now be a horrible time to get a PS3 - PlayStation 3 (PS3) Forum - Page 1
How bad Timing would it be to get a ps3 now?
its never a bad time to get the best PlayStation ever made. The OG fat PS3 should be worth more than a PS5.
@DarriusBanjo1998 Yeah, I don't think there's ever a «bad» time to get a legacy console. They're only ever gonna get more expensive the older (and therefore, the rarer) they get. Also consider the fact that Sony are keeping the PS3's PS Store alive for now and that it's only a matter of time before you won't be able to download firmware updates, DLC and game-specific patches.
If you've found a good console with a decent price tag, I'd pull the trigger sooner rather than later!
@DarriusBanjo1998 I agree with everything @RogerRoger said. Once Sony got back on track during that generation, it was a great time to be a PlayStation fan. Some fantastic games on there. I don't use mine regularly since I found it in the basement several months ago, but I do have it hooked up and will gladly go back to it from time to time whenever I get the opportunity to either finish some games I never did or play the occasional game I missed.
As long as it's in good shape and it's reasonably priced, I would have no issue with getting it. Even if you are like me and don't end up using it regularly, it still should be a solid investment given the amount go great games on it.
It’s the perfect time when you consider how cheap most PS3 games go for.
