Worth buying PS3 now? (EU)


Recommended Posts

So, with the 60gb model gone theres only the 40 GB left and im in serious doubt wether it's worth buying a PS3 at the moment. What do you think? Should I wait and see if a model with the backwards comp., flash reader etc. should come out again on the european market, or is that a hopeless thought?

Is there not still a 80GB unit?

The 80 GB unit isn't coming to EU, the 60 GB unit isn't to be found anywhere else anymore, it's just the 40 GB model in EU now.

I know, the flash reader etc isn't that much, but im more thinking if it's very likely there will be a new "full" version PS3 coming to EU again in the near future.

I looked in GAME yesterday at the PS3's as a mate at work wants one. I bought mine a month ago and got myself the 60GB Model. At the time the 60GB model was selling at a rate of about 60 to 1 against the 40s. TBH though the only thing your going to miss is the PS2 backwards compatibility. It still plays PS1 games afaik.

Either way yes I think some great games are coming out. Assassins Creed is a must purchase. Uncharted is out this Friday. I know the Xbox can do the same but there is a huge selection of demos to download. Something that is useful for testing games before buying them.

I'd wait. There are still only a few decent games for the PS3 right now anyway. Nothing that you can't wait to play until another SKU comes out. By that time, it should have a better game library available too (maybe even Home, if you're into that kind of thing).

I picked mine up on the cheap (?255 with a game) but tbh if it was still ?300 I wouldn't have bought it. There is simply no reason to pick it up over the 360 with it's larger back catalogue at the moment. If, like me, you have to play the exclusives as soon as possible. I guess now while the sales and discounts are currently on going would be the best time to grab one.
