The Year Of The Fox Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 I've been looking at buying another after selling mine 18months ago. You can get one on Amazon for £150 with 60gb of memory. The others are about £250 with much bigger memory. Will the cheaper one operate just as well as the other one (game speeds both online/offline)?? So tempted to get one now but I'm torn between waiting for the PS4 in hope that it'd be cheaper then.

Ian W LCFC Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Might aswell wait for the PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupidStunt Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 best deal i seen was this not sure the 500gb is correct as the description states 60gb, so maybe a case to argue misold and get a biiger HD http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1395491.htm?cmpid=COJUN&catalogId=10001&_%24ja=tsid%3A11674|prd%3A1546795&storeId=10151&referredURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fstatic%2FProduct%2FpartNumber%2F1395491.htm&referrer=COJUN or buy my xbox, you can have it for a reasonable amount (open to offers) loads of games (cough cough), 2 controllers however downsides are, you cant go online with it as it has extreme firmware fitted and its the old version with only 32mb card its just sitting under my tv as i play ps3 for online gaming only ok for basic console for playing games offline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Year Of The Fox Posted 29 September 2013 Author Share Posted 29 September 2013 Might aswell wait for the PS4. No way. It's far too much, maybe in a couple of years once the price has dropped immeasurably and they've got a broad range of games out. I only want a PS3 to get back on COD Modern Warfare and this new GTA game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 You might as well wait as Ian says. For the sake of 8 weeks save your cash and get that plus a few games when it's out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 I have a quick question. I've googled it - but most results ended in fanboyism and arguing. My ps3 has only a small hard drive. Aside from opening it up and replacing the hard drive, is there a way to add storage to store games DLd from PSN live? I'm think external drive, connected via usb? If correctly formatted, can this be done? Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisNedry Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 The size of the memory space has no bearing on the performance of a PS3. I have an 80gb model but I but my own hard drive in (think it was 720gb or something stupid) and it didn't improve the speed. It just means I have have about 80 games saved on my PS3 without worrying about space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just means I have have about 80 games saved on my PS3 without worrying about space Thanks for that. The size won't matter (for once in life) if I will only play GTA and COD on it. I don't even bother with FIFA anymore. Find the football ones boring and a farce that each year its, 'their best yet' Make it the best yet in the first instance. Can't believe they've only just got Goodison Park in the game. My last FIFA was FIFA 10 I think and assumed by now they'd have got at least all the Prem grounds in.

Replacing the drive doesnt void the warrenty and you only need to take out a couple of screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 I am in two minds as to whether to get mine fixed or not. I have GTAV sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I might trade it in. I am reading more and more about the forthcoming release/rumour of the game for PS4. I might cut my losses and run tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappaDom Posted 30 September 2013 Share Posted 30 September 2013 I brought my 500GB super slim PS3 a few months ago bundled with the last of us for £199. I'm not sure why prices have rocketed recently, maybe because of the release of GTA V but everything seems to have gone up. You can use most hard drives and storage on it if you need more space anyway. I would only recommend lots of storage if you sign up to PS+. All the PS3 models run things at the same speed, although there are arguements that the quality of HDD used will impact gameplay. Get a solid state drive for best performance.

I'm getting my hands on a 500gb super slim bundled with Gran Turismo 5 and Uncharted 3 for €289 (£241). It's not cheap considering I'm mainly getting it for GTAV which I'm yet to buy, but I've consoled myself with that fact by reminding myself I can get my hands on some older gems like Dead Rising 2, The Last of Us, the rest of the Uncharted Series, all the Assassin's creed games I've missed out on etc. for cheap so it kinda makes up for it. Plus Watch Dogs is coming out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just after rough prices really, obviously it's the old fat one and small capacity, so I wasn't expecting too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got a clue how much that'd go for? According to Grainger Games' trade in system, you'd get around £45 for the console. £40 unboxed. Then add the rest, you should be looking at £55+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking on Gumtree for a guide price, but obviously they are the unsold ones, so probably not a great indicator. £55 or so is better than it sitting around doing nothing after the end if the next week.
