Yes, sell it. If you're not playing games that's just hoarding and you know that's bad.

Id keep it. Honestly its not worth that much considering you can buy a new one for less than $300 now adays. Youd probably get $150 tops. Might as well keep it and whenever you get a hankering to play old games you have the option



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

What else do you play on today?

I kept my PS3 even though I bought my Wii U and PS4. So of course I would say keep it.

I can understand what you say, I mostly play my older favourites on my PS3 today, nothing new that I feel or have felt a must to own. So if you feel like you don't need to play your old "classics" you could just as well get rid of it and spend the money on something else, or save it.

I did sell my Wii, but since I can play Wii games on my Wii U I felt no loss. The only loss I felt is that I can no long play my GC games, especially Zelda TP which I prefer with the GC controller. On the PS4, at least for now you can not play any PS3 games. Maybe in the future with PS Now or if they make software emulations.

Also, keep in mind that there could come some really sweet game(s) later on for the PS3. It's Sony after all, and they always keep delivering until the very end. But don't expect any TLoU or Uncharted game(s), those will only show up on PS4/PSV.

Will sounds pretty ironic(or even strange), but yesterday after I had written this post I actually put up my PS3 for sale. I realized that I actually do not use my PS3 as much as I wanted to believe(had a brief discussion with my girlfriend), so I put it up for sale and went out to buy a new gaming laptop. :P

sell it and buy a XONE. ps3 is pretty much done, unless you like those overrated "rpgs" everyone's talking about.


Please tell me this is sarcasm?!

No may as well keep it. You won't get very much for it anyway and you might find games you want to play in the end



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

I guess it's your opinion if you want to keep it or not.

I would personally in no way shape or form trade in my PS3. The amount of amazing content I get on it from PS+ every month is mind boggling, especially given I have Vita and PS4 as well. There are still tons of awesome games being released on it and will be released in the future (PERSONA 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). The support for this machine from western, japanese and indies is uber strong. So no, I would not sell mine at any cost.

I will give you a million dollars for it.

Sold. Which dark alley do we meet up in?

I'm keeping mine to replay old games, I plan on buying another PS3 which I will keep in its box unplayed if the day comes where my ps3 I have now should break down.
