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.

1.86ghz Core2Duo playing GTAV with 2gb of ram?
omg @ the 80gb Harddrive as a gaming PC? my sides are in space. "Gaming PC", that is amazing.
The install for windows / GTAV wouldn't actually fit on this PC's harddrive my god.
GTAV PC min specs
Minimum:
- OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1, Windows Vista 64 Bit Service Pack 2* (*NVIDIA video card recommended if running Vista OS)
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPUs) @ 2.5GHz
- Memory: 4GB
- Video Card: NVIDIA 9800 GT 1GB / AMD HD 4870 1GB (DX 10, 10.1, 11)
- Sound Card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
- HDD Space: 65GB
- DVD Drive
Literally the only place this meets the spec chart is the DVD drive.

Gta v runs 720p (or even lower?) on lastgen with huge framerate problems. It would run the same omn this machine.
Like I said im not even a pc gamer (just owning an dell ultrabook, i5 ULV CPU (17wattage) and Intel HD 4000.
I can run GTA V ~25fps all low 800x600 on that system. Check youtube for prooves. This linked used system above is way stronger then integrated intel graphics.

The linked used system has a GEforce 8400GS 512mb, a google will show it as being around 1/4 the power of your onboard Intel HD 4000 chipset in your laptop. What do you think 1/4 the power would do for a game running at 25fps in 800x600 res? Not that it could ever run on that system because of all the other issues with it.
And as I pointed out, GTAV has a 65gb installation on the PC, The PC you linked has an 80GB HDD, actual space available of that is 74.4gb so you have less than 10GB for windows, steam, Do you really think because someone typed "gaming PC" on their auction on Ebay that it is a gaming PC? Not to mention it has 1/4 the min amount of ram required for the game, and a Core2Duo where a Core2Quad is the minimum.
