rumors?ps4?this year?no way
worth getting it man....
just get a 160gb and upgrade the hdd urself....
mine was 80gb back in the phat era and upgrade the hdd to 500gb....
not that hard to upgrade and u should do it before installing any games as back and restoring data takes time

ps4's definitely not coming this year, its confirmed. so you might want to get a ps3 first because ps4 will most probably be announced next year, and only launching end of next year..maybe (:

Relax, buy it now and play as much games that you want on it to make it worth it. Even if PS4 comes out this year the price would be to much for a casual gamer to get it anyway and the games would be limited as well. Plus unless you are the type that gets new things when they comes out why not wait for review first when it comes out anyway.

I think PS4 won't be out until next year minimum. They need to show prototype E3 as acid test before they start mass produce as a safety net. Since no news on either Sony or MS has prototypes on display this year, I assume they don't have prototype on display, and thus it's probably safe to assume they won't make a move this year.

thanks to Bruce07 to create such a good topic ! I personally agree to the opinion that PS4 will not be launched so soon. Even it does, I believe it will take time to cool down the price and especially for those who prefer modify the console it will definitely need some time to jail break it......

i think PS3 or soon to be PS4 shouldn't b jailbroken unless u juz wanna play wif AI... for me the main concern to get a PS3 is going to play online... kekeke... ^^
for now lets enjoy the moment n get the PS3... wooohhhhhooooo...

go grab it man.. ps4 will not come out until 2016 -2018..because rumors said that ps4 will be running HVD(holographic versatile disk) which is can store up 600gb..its insane man..HVD will come out in 2016 thats why i said ps4 come out on 2016 and world not ready for this yet...this same goes as BD( Blueray disk),BD first release along with ps3 in 2006 so that BD are widely used in entire world..that is the way to introduce new technology for the world...ps3 nowadays really powerful system..support full hd 1080p..if ps4..what do you think?it must have need higher resolution than 1080p..need new tv..new cable better than hdmi.. sony said that game developers not even close to push ps3 at its limits.. the ps3 not fully utilize yet... ps3 are great system.. im not a fanboy..but its true..
final fantasy versus 13 coming soon..i bet that the graphic are superior because its ps3 exclusive game...and so the game took long long years to make to unlock all the ps3 potential..so my advice is..
so go get it NOWWW!!!!dont waste ur time anymore.. still plenty of time to be enjoy with ps3

there is no such thing that ps4 is coming out this year. Sony already claimed that PS4 will not come out in this year. They will focus on PS3 and PS Vita first.

Yup,the only downside is have to return to spore for warranty claim. I bought from pbbseller and he will help for claiming warranty with small fee of course. All asia ps3 set now comes with a year+3 months warranty (need to register online for the extra).

i have a ps3 and a wii. let me tell you from experience. when it comes to family the wii is always turned on. when comes to the middle of the night when my family is asleep, the ps3 is turned on. Since i am a family man guess which console is turned on more often? so if u a bachelor get a ps3 u won't regret. and yes, ps3 is relevant for a long time to come. this is the best time to get a ps3 coz the game library is very many, the price is cheaper now, and it will last another 3 to 4 years (much more than that if you not so greedy about ps4)

Dunno why they stop selling it on PS Store tho (if it was ever sold on PS Store). I remember that you used to be able to DL the demo. Can't find it anymore... Maybe we all must go complain to Sony? I think DL size isn't a problem for those with UniFi/TimeBB/MaxisBB.
shamsulaswad: Thanks, but I'm more interested in getting it as a download from PS Store since I dun like having a media running in the drive while playing.

Yes, PS3 best! I never regret to own a PS3.. Abit regret after own PSVITA.. not much game, and so far I think dun have any great game yet that can impress me.. PS3: COD MW3, Battlefield, Uncharted3, Mass Effect3 ... and there are still many great titles.. Great graphics, great gameplay, really enjoy this PS3!!!
