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



Links! I gave them you can too!

Also in terms of hardware age CEX gives 12month cover on all hardware sold, including of course this potentially 7 year old console, if it was a hardware failure worry you were suggesting with the age.

(CEX are nuts for some of their console prices here in Ireland, can get a used Xbox360 with a controller for almost the same price as a new Pad... it's almost cheaper to buy an Xbox360 just to get a pad and chuck the console in the bin)

 

edit - Only thing I'd ask hardware wise of the PC you link which costs under €90 including delivery + obviously the controller required to play the games with it (mouse keyboard/gamepad) is that it has hardware capable of playing GTAV comparitively as well as the PS3 can put it out, if there are options out there where that is possible I could really use such a PC for a family member as a gift!

as an example. If you spend more time in research you can get way cheaper. There are videos on youtube where people build 300€ pc with used parts that outperforms ps4.
