If you've gotten by for this long you might as well just wait. Unless theirs a game you really want then there's no reason to upgrade just yet. The PS4 is probably just around the corner and it will probably be backwards compatible with the PS3. The next Xbox will probably be backwards compatible as well and I'm sure you know that PC is always backwards compatible, for the most part. Next year will see discounted prices across the board so even if a game comes out that you're dieing to play, one year isn't that long to wait to save a few bucks.

with that attitude I would never buy anything tech related, it will always be cheaper and or better next year

I like to wait and buy cheap. You've waited, sure, but you waited so long that the next gen is about to begin. I wasn't suggesting that you wait until the new stuff comes and then wait for newer stuff forever. But you've gotten by without a PS3 this long and the Wii U is coming next year and shortly after that will be the PS4 and the next Xbox. There's nothing wrong with getting a  PS3 now, I'm sure you'll have fun with it, but you might regret it when the Wii U hits shelves and everything gets discounted. As for the graphics card. My philosophy is to buy the best you can afford and use it until it can't run anything. If you graphics card can run new games well enough to play smoothly then I think it's smart to stick with what you have until you can't afford NOT to upgrade.
