Given the current rumors and talks with regard to the upcoming next gen gaming console, do you think it's still worth it to buy a PS3 today? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Yes. PS4 is still a rumor. And if it ever comes out, for sure it's super expensive. Will you buy an expensive console?

PS3 is more than 5 years old and has a lot of great games. And it's cheaper now. That alone is a reason to buy a PS3 now.

Plus, there are a number of current PS3 owners so there's an opportunity to play with those gamers.

Yes. Very worth it. There's a lot of good titles coming out this year like Resident Evil 6, WWE'13, The Last of Us, NBA Live 13, and many more. Still, the new console will be introduced on the later part next year, probably on the last quarter. And for sure, sobrang mahal pa ang price nun. Super expensive!

Yes, its worth the purchase. The price is not even that restrictive anymore unlike 4 years ago when I bought my Fat 40 GB. It cost me an arm and a leg just to get the console, extra controllers, accessories (hdmi cable etc) and games. Now the console and games are relatively cheaper. Some even come free on the PSN (if you have the PSN+)

Yes! Its very worth it! Kasi kahit may mga rumors na kasa me lalabas daw na PS4, so far opinion ko lang baka matagal pa iyon kasi mahaba-mahabang research ang gagawin ng mga developers eh. Kung ang PS3 nga maglalaway ka na sa ganda ng graphics, panu pa kaya yung lalabas na PS4, Just got mine 2 days after my birthday! Ganda talaga, saka mas tumatagal, mas maraming hardware revisions, mas nagmumura!
Never give up! For there is always RESTART FROM LAST CHECKPOINT , RETRY and CONTINUE on video games.

kung magkaroon ng ps4 tiyak konti pa lang yung mga games na mapagpipilian mo so worth it pa rin bumili ng ps3

at saka kahit magkaroon ng ps4 di naman lahat makakabili agad nun.
