not sure if this is a serious post or not. if it is then, do you own a 360? if so then just buy GTA V for the 360, if you dont have any console then you might want to wait a month and get PS4 or if you just want one now then yes get a PS3 and GTA V

Pick up PS+ as well if you've not bought any games in the last year or two.

No worries, just being an ass :P Seems silly to ask a PS3 Forum if the PS3 is "good". But I guess I'll give a serious answer and say that the PS3 is still a great system to get if you have no plans on getting a next gen console anytime soon. Plenty of games to pick from and so forth.

I don't think its silly to ask about the PS3 here. Ideally you want to ask the people that use the system and I also feel that people that use the system a lot are pretty open about any negatives they have also had with the system as well. For instance, I had 2 PS3s where the blu-ray disc laser broke on me, both were one month after each of their respective warranties ran out too. However those were a few years ago so as of now I don't think thats something to worry about especially if you keep the PS3 well ventillated and don't game for excessive spans of time.

A bit late to the Playstation 3. So far 77 million PS3 have been sold since November 11th 2006. So that is 77 million people worldwide that have decided to buy and play the PS3. The Playstation 3 is a good console. You have played Playstation or Playstation 2 before? Then you should have an idea of what types of games to expect. The DualShock 3 is still the great controller that was introduced in 1997. just now is wireless bluetooth. 

You can buy a brand new Playstation 3 for $199.99 even if it is the superslim 12GB flash memory model. A world apart from the $599.99 PS3 launch models of 2006.

So if you have never played a playstation 3 until now. This is the console to buy $200.00 brand new. As for games many of the same franchises of PS1 and PS2 are continued on the PS3. such as Metal Gear Solid, Twisted Metal, Final Fantasy etc.

Yes the Playstation 3 is good the best console of the 7th generation.

If you don't have a gaming PC or Xbox 360, then definitely get the PS3. It's completely worth it.

the 200$ ps3 is only 12gb not worth it unless you're going to upgrade the hard drive yourself

I agree and with $60 you can get a 500gig HDD and pop that in, but they don't force you to buy it. This is attractive for Casual gamers who only play sport games and maybe one installed game at a time. It is also great for people like me who just need a replacement unit since I think most people's Launch PS3's have died by now.

You can't go wrong with a PS3 man :). There's a ton of awesome games for it, and a vast amount of exclusives too :D. When you do get it, you should make a thread asking what games to get. Many of your fellow gamespotters here would be glad to give you some suggestions :D

It's a pretty solid system. - There are a ton of PS3 exclusives and most of them are pretty great. - Online is free. - PS+ is a killer value, both in terms of the free games and the discounts you get on the weekly and special event sales. Though, the store is sluggish and downloads annoying slow. - It's a great value for the money, but if you can wait a few months it'll likely get even better when they roll out the holiday bundles. (Though, the 500GB GTA V bundle for $270 from Amazon is probably as good a deal as you're going to find, especially if GTA V is your main reason for buying the console.) - The controller kinda sucks. It's not terrible, and if you've never used an XBox 360 controller you probably wouldn't realize its flaws, but I'd recommend buying a wired 360 controller and a converter. Or wait to see if Sony has the smarts to do a redesign of the DualShock 3 with the better triggers and thumbsticks. (I wouldn't count on that happening, though.) It's really my only major gripe with the PS3. If you're not holding out for a PS4, then I'd absolutely endorse getting a PS3.
