Off Topic - PS3

[PeteyD]

Kids are annoying me for one.

Anyone got one they want to move on? Prefer a later model, and in true OzGolf tradition I want to pay nothing for it. Missed the 320gb Slims DSE had for $228.

PM or put it in here.

[aym]

rumors of PS4 in the pipelines after the PS2 production stopped (Sony's release cycle), so you might as well wait for it...

[PeteyD]

nah it'll be $600-700 when it comes out. release date is late 2013 / 14

[jaybam]

You due for a new mobile soon. I have gotten both the ps3 and the Xbox 360 as bonuses with my phone deals

[Ronny]

ebgames have some pre-owned for sale if you dont want to pay alot.

[jaybam]

Good point Ronny, they are pretty bullet proof too.

[PeteyD]

yea except eb want too much for pre owned.

[TheAwesom1]

DSE website says they still selling them at $228 through click&connect. Just depends on your Location.

[PeteyD]

Ha yea try and find one - the website does not tell all the truth.

[jaybam]

To be honest the Xbox gets more of a work out games wise than the ps3 here. Kinnect is heaps better than move and there is more games on Xbox. The ps3 is mainly used for blue rays in the kids room and when they bring out gran turismo games lol.

As you can tell from the posts here PeteyD, once you have a PS3 you will not give it up........

Had mine since they were released and wouldnt part with it

[PeteyD]

yea I am getting that picture.

[BenM]

I have one BNIB but I want to keep it as a spare. That's how good they are :)

[PeteyD]

That's sad.

I've had 4, got two left. Not that bulletproof, stay clear of the older fat versions, I've had two fail with graphics chips due to the lead free solder they use. The older ones run pretty hot also.

New is the way to go, cheap enough now. The ABC iview and sbs on demand are pretty handy additions application wise too

[BenM]

Yep - not bulletproof at all. My slim failed - kept switching itself off; then I bought the new one. Luckily I pulled the old one apart and adjusted a pot in the power supply, stopped it switching off, so it's still going - but I fully expect it to die again, which is why I want the spare....

Mine gets used more for playing downloaded tv/movies and iView than it does for playing games, though I really must break out my racing seat and get back into GT5.

[davepuppies]

I have had mine for over 5 years and still going strong!

It gets used mainly for blurays, and occasionally a game of tiger woods PGA

[PeteyD]

Found one of the 320s cheap at DSE Robina. Win!

Any advice on what games are good? Particularly for kids. Have GT5, MAdden 11 and little big planet.

God of War 1, 2 and 3

[Dangals]

what age kids are we talking about?

[PeteyD]

9 and 11

[Ronny]

Skylanders seems to be the big thing at the moment. My 9 yr old boy has about 14 of the suckers and loves it.

[PeteyD]

They have Skylanders on the Wii, and I am not getting a portal for the PS3!

I have read that the Uncharted series is pretty good, and LBP2.

[Dangals]

Uncharted is awesome - I have a soft spot for the ratchet and clank series.
