ps+ pays for it self if you own 2/3 sony systems (ps3/vita/ps4)
ps4 does have a web browser but why use it if you own a pc?

Because, if Im watching movies online or lets say a series of episodes...
It would be pretty easy to use a PS4 controller to visit/view the next episode / webpage, instead of jumping out of bed to get over to my pc, to use my mouse/keyboard.

i'd say only if you're talking about using things like netflix it might be better
if you're mentioning other sites that shouldn't be named here then consoles may not be the best choice since idk how much support they have for videos in the web browser

Hello guys.
There is a PS3 selling @ my local walmart...
http://www.walmart.com/ip/PS3-12-GB-Console/27413880
Online its listed as $199.99
@ my local store its listed as $179.99
I work there, so I get 10% (18$) = $162.00 + 5.5$ tax... still only like 170$

The Question is, Since its the year 2014... Is a ps3 still worth getting? I'm more of a pc person who plays minecraft, wow, league,skypes...
I really didn't see that many games for the PS3 @ the store, so i was thinking of not getting it.

What do you guys think? should I skip it?

Was thinking of buying an Nvidia Shield instead, or saving up for a PS4... But the PS4 is horrible, there is like a hand full of games being sold @ our store, and its all sport stuff...
I could buy via online, but still i haven't seen much of a selection.

SO then i was thinking the Xbox One... but my store srsly just got their first xbox1 yesterday... they so late... and they only have Titanfall.... lol.... omg
So Ps3 or Nvidia shield?
Otherwise save up and get ps4 or xbox1?

I played banjo kazooie on N64...
I was thinking about getting the 3'ed version for xbox360.....
xbox 360 still any good? would that work for Xbox1 aswell?
I know that Ps1 and 2 games work on the PS3 .. does anyone know if they made that game for sony playstation?

or you could be a badass and get a ps3, ps vita and ps4...
seriously though...go that route
huh, amirite

as far as ps3 plays ps1 and ps2 games, this is true for digital copies only
and ps4's games selection is limited for the time being, this is a temporary problem, not long term, more stuff is on the way

PS3 can play PS1 discs. Its just region locked and choppy at best.
