Like all my other consoles, the PS3 will always be a part of my collection.


Yes, I am thinking the same way. I don't want to be kicking myself for getting rid of this system as I was for the PS2.

i never buy consoles at launch anyway, they generaly have big glitches/bugs. i will wait a couple of years until a 2nd or 3rd model comes out and the game libray is big and cheap. that way i will never run out of games for years.

only bought my ps3 18 months ago still havent played any unchartered/mass effects/ assasin creeds/ batmans etc

Then you have some work to do. lol But, you'll get plenty of enjoyment out of your system that's for sure.

Forever but that is the collector in me.

As for the PS4, that will be a launch day purchase.

This is up to the PS3 itself. I'll keep it around until it completely dies.

if mine died i reckon i would just buy another PS3, even if i had no backlog its virtually guarenteed there will be far more ps3 game releases than ps4 games over the next 18-24 months.

Whenever my PS3 does die, hopefully a brand new one doesn't cost that much, if I get it on Amazon or something.

Considering that I just ordered my first ever PS3 on Monday, which should arrive tomorrow, I will definitely be hanging onto it for a while. But I don't get rid of game consoles in the first place. If I enjoyed games on it, there is a high probability I will want to go back and play them again some time. Every old console I own (lots of Nintendo stuff, as well as my PS1 and PS2) is still connected through a large pile of A/V switches, with the exception of my Atari 2600. But I still have that around, and could easily dig it out if I needed to.

I never understand the "this console was awesome, but a new one is out now, so time to get rid of it" mindset. I know some people trade games in when they finish them, regardless of how much they enjoyed it, but I absolutely will want to replay games down the road if I enjoyed them. I just hope these disc-based systems hold up for a while, when years down the road I want to dig out some old PS2 or Xbox 360 game for a nostalgia fix.
