Hi,

I'm interested in getting a PS3. Previously just owned a PS1 and PS2. Just have some questions before getting it.

1. I notice some sell 12GB PS3 Slim [Most seller online seems to be out of stock]. Is the 12GB enough for games? If I'm buying all discs, then I straight play from disc correct like PS2? No installing to HDD, right?

2. If it's better to upgrade HDD, what is the maximum size I can get?

3. Suppose I'm playing a game and saved it. Then, my dad wants to play it too. How can he save? Can we create two different accounts? One for me and one for him?

4. Since the PS3 have been discontinued, can I still purchase extended warranty from Sony for new PS3 purchase that I make?

5. I can't seem to find any seller selling PS3 online. Most seemed to stopped selling it or out of stock. Any suggestions as from where I can get them? If it helps, the nearest big city to me is Ipoh.

EDIT:

6. What are the pros/cons of buying used PS3 games?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I've never owned a PS3 before. I've considered getting a PS4 instead of PS3, however, I have more games that I want to play/try on that are on PS3. It’s mainly for games like God of War Series, Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry series, and Infamous Series. Not to mention the Tomb Raider series, Demon’s Souls, LittleBigPlanet, and Heavenly Sword.

I've contacted Sony Malaysia asking if they do honor extended warranties for new PS3 consoles. They mentioned that they do if the PS3 unit is covered under Sony Malaysia warranty. Any idea how to check if a PS3 is under Sony Malaysia before purchasing it? I've asked them and awaiting reply. The representative also mentioned that the current PS3 price edges towards PS4 slim price and that could be a better option. Still pondering though due to the games I would like to play.

One more question. I read that some games come bundled with codes [usually for some other games/dlc I believe]. If those codes are already used [buying used games], I just have to get the games/dlc separately, correct?

Thank you.

Hi,

Apologies for the late reply.

One quick question regarding the PS Plus. You mentioned that I can use them as long as I'm subscribed to them. Does that mean it's tied to my ID? If I were to cancel or not renew my subscription, and were to subscribe again in a few months or so, would I still have those free games that I got previous?

Thank you.
