A decent PC isn't THAT much more expensive than a new PS3. With way way way more great exclusives and an altogether much larger library. Would also be able to play the majority of new releases as well, something the PS3 can't do.

 

New maybe, online used... no just no.

(sites postage is €5 here so, 90 total)

OP also forgot that there are models of PS3 which are capable of playing PS1/2/3 games if you get your hands on a launch model with the full BC chipset in it.

Also if you happen to have a large collection of psone games still laying around the house a PS3 is a fairly class tool to have on your wifi network if you also own a Vita, pop the psone game in the PS3 and you can play it away on the Vita all you want, Vita's small but clear screen does wonders for some of the older PS1 titles.

A used ps3 (launch model) is ~7 year old hardware.

If I get an used PC or used pc hardware thats 3-5 years old, ill still be cheaper and have similar/better performance
