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.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
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.
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.
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.
