Why the XBOX 360 or PS3 is Still a Sensible Buy

If your gaming curiosity extends beyond the smartphone gaming scene, there are only two options for
you to consider: either you pick up a console that has a lifespan of almost a decade or you invest in a PC
that requires upgrades every few years to be able to play the latest games at maximum settings. Does it
make sense to purchase a PS3 or an Xbox 360? I have five reason why we think it makes sense to pick up
a PS3 or an Xbox 360.

A PS4 today costs roughly `32,990 and an Xbox One starts at about `34,990 approx. That’s a lot of money!
Not to mention the fact that a brand new AAA game will set you back `4,000 or `3,500 approx. So unless
you can afford the crème de la crème you may want to consider your options. A PS3 with 12GB storage
has an MRP of `16,990 approx. Similarly, the Xbox 360 is available for `12,990 for the 4GB variant with one
game free.

The games library of the PS3 and Xbox 360 is huge! To put things into perspective think about the fact
that games released from say 2007 to those released as recently as 2015 are available for you to binge
play if you invest in any of these old consoles. A lot of games that defined the PS3 and Xbox 360 are selling
at full retail on the PS4 and Xbox One in their remastered avatar.

If you think about it, you will be playing
some of the same games that current console generation gamers are playing, at a fraction of the price.

Both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 support online gaming and have subscriptions that give you free games
each month. If you are a PlayStation Plus member or a subscriber of Xbox Live Gold, you will have access
to free games each month. Since the PS3 and Xbox 360 are old consoles. If you are comfortable buying
games digitally, you can get some games at a great discount if you are a PS Plus or an Xbox Live Gold
member.

Both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 act as the ideal entertainment boxes to sit under your TV. The consoles
support Plex as well. With the launch of Netflix, you will be able to subscribe to the service and enjoy it
from the comfort of the PS3 and Xbox 360 via the downloadable app.

The PlayStation Move and Microsoft Kinect have a small library of games, but they are fun especially when
you have a few friends over who are non-gamers. Motion gaming is a great family experience too.

Well! You might have decided till now.

I still play my ps3 have no motivation what so ever to upgrade yet.
Got all these games on discount I just brought Tomb Raider and Asura Wrath & Lollipop Chainsaw & Bioshock Infinite all for 20bucks.

I want to score a XBOX 360 for 60 bucks .

Picked up a xbox 360s recently for $99 with a 250gb hard drive included and I love it.

esmittystud1013549d ago

I'm trying real hard to find a new PS3 for a decent price.............they are almost the same price as the Xbox One new and I would probable get two or three games with the Xbox One. I just wana play Demon's Souls.

jonrhoades873549d ago

You might have to break down and get one used, which I've seen locally for about $100. Haven't seen any new ones in awhile as they may have been discontinued? I really wanted to pick up one of the white superslims a while back but didn't get to and now they're a solid 30-50 bucks more than the stock ones preowned.

Fist4achin3549d ago

I'm still rocking both of mine. I will make the jump to the next generation this fall. Still have a backlog to work through.

IRetrouk3548d ago

If i were you i would just wait a lil longer an see wen these new upgraded ones are coming.

Fist4achin3548d ago

That's a good idea as I am a patient person. I think the new consoles will be out this fall for a holiday push. Maybe there will be a good deal?!

IRetrouk3548d ago

Hopefully, will be getting all 3 myself, hopefully they stagger the releases lol

I hope the Switch 1 reaches 160M+ before production stops. 😅

There was a worldwide chip shortage when PS5 released so not an apples to apples comparison.

Christopher5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Pretty sure Japan had plenty of PS5 on the shelves to buy no matter what. The fact is, Japan has moved to mobile gaming over standard home console. Software sales alone show that.
