Well i just want ps3 to play exclusive games . At What price should i buy the old ps3 model ( 4o/80/120 gb) .
Is there any disadvantage of buying an old model of ps3 ??
Get a 120GB PS3 slim for about 15,000 ...
seriously why are you buying an old ps3? its not worth it if you are assembling a gaming computer. The ps3 is on the end of its life cycle and we will be getting the ps4 most probably next year. Its much better to invest the money in your gaming rig and make it more future proof.
and believe me that the exclusives only last for *HOURS* and nothing more than that.
I would suggest you go for a 11k used PS3 slim now, rather than wait for a 30k or 40k PS4 console next year. Plus having to put 3k for each new game since it is so new to the market.
This is actually the best time to buy a PS3. The console is cheap, it's power consumption is all time low and the biggest benefit, all the AAA titles are in platinum and used games are even cheaper. There couldn't have been a better time to buy a PS3.
Trust me, I got my PS2 when the PS3 released. PS2 was around 8k then and the PS3, well, 40k. It is not easy to buy a console at launch. Plus the games are super expensive. Hence I suggest you get a PS3 now, which will serve you for 2-3years well.
You can buy a PS4, like most of our Indian brothers will, i.e. mid cycle when the bugs have been ironed out and many AAA titles release.
^^
Yup.
Sarath is right.
This the right time to get a PS3.
Costs is comparatively low and more importantly there are hundreds of AAA and AA titles available for it and they are not going to vanish even after launch of PS4.
A Avg Gaming Rig will last only a few months if meant for Handling Games at Max Settings and hence it is not so called futureproof.
^^ There are speculations that sony might announce some more price drops for ps3 this E3 in june. So you might get a new one less than 15k if you can wait for a couple of months.![]()
Well if he adds the money planning he is planning to spend on his rig he might as well get a gtx680 ... which i think can pretty much run anything at full hd resolutions for 2~3 years.
@OP get your priority right. Why do you want a ps3? to play exclusives? Yes the single player will only last for *HOURS* . If you are ready to pay that much then you should look for a old ps3 which can be had for about 11~10k + used AAA titles.
Each AAA titles for the ps3 will last for 10~15 hours
And the ps3 multiplayer is good infact better than on the pc for some games, but not for every game.
And nothing beats a keyboard and mouse for fps. !
