Is a PS3 worth $375?

[aphex]

With my Amazon wish cert and a $75 GC, i could snag the 60gb PS3 for $375
This would replace my modded xbox, which i prolly could get $100-120 for... End cost would be around $275ish

Worth it?

Dont you have the PS3?

 

[FoBoT]

only if you already have a wiiii and an xb0x 360

Technically, sure it is, however I don't want a PS3.

As far as the pricing, I think that's what retail should be at, significantly more reasonable than the $600 price.

 

[tfinch2]

I'd rather get a Wii.

Yep, especially with Linux running on the PS3 now. You can replace the functionality of your XBMC and add Blu-Ray support.

if i had the chance to get one (60gb version) for $375 yeah i would.

but i already have a Wii

 

[TanisHalfElven]

get a xbox360 first

 

[Queasy]

You could get a Wii and a 360 for only $50 more.

Yes he does...at least he bought one at one point...

 

[MrWizzard]

Right now it's not worth it.

Next year this time maybe. Multiplatform games run and look better on the X360 right now.

I want a PS3 but there is no reason for me to get one yet, only 1 good game that I can think of. Fall of Man

 

[randomlinh]

meh, i'd just wait it out. unless there's a game you're dying to play on the ps3. Or want a cheap ass blu-ray player

 

[randay]

The PS3 is worth over 1000 dollars.

 

[mzkhadir]

its worth it just for the blu ray drive. You can actually get and sell it and make your money back.

 

[Rage187]

no.

I would get a Wii and a 360 in that order.

Thus the PSWii60 in the sig.

If it was some other discount that didn't involve the use of gift certificates, possibly - but that's money that can be spent elsewhere. If the PS3 was a $375 cash transaction - ie, fell off a truck somewhere - maybe. But at MSRP, get a 360 and a Wii.

Furthermore, selling the modded Xbox would be a bad call IMHO. Mine still probably gets the most power-on time just due to XBMC, and the PS3 has nothing that compares to that.

Except he still has to spend his gift certificates to get the PS3. If he wants to convert them to cash, this is one way to do it - but PS3s are readily available. I can't see him getting much over (if at all) MSRP from a sale.

[Saulbadguy]

I'd buy a Wii if I could frickin find one.

yup, good for those stupid scalpers! :laugh: man I wish I had waited even though I got it for retail, would love to buy one for less then retail from some fvck who artificially increased demand and made it so hard for me to find one in the first place.

They're supposedly going to release multi-format HDTV DVD players at CES this year, which hopefully means that the HD-DVD vs. BluRay format war is going to end soon. Once it does, people will finally start buying these HiDef DVD players and the prices should drop quickly.

Wow, you think you can sell a modded X-Box 1 for $100?

 

[purbeast0]

For personal use, imo, it's not even worth $300.

However I'd buy one at that price to sell it at retail and make $$$.
