Should I or is there any point of rebuying an xbox 360/ps3?

So I have had the original Xbox since it first came out and today it just RROD on me. There are some games I am really thinking of picking up such as tomb raider and bioshock infinit but I am un able to play them because well I have nothing to play it on. So as of now im at a crossroads. With the Xbox 720 and ps4 on the Horizon I am debating if it is even worth it at this point to buy a new xbox or to get a ps3. One of the reasons im debating of getting a ps3 is because the last of us is looking like a pretty solid gam as of now. Anyways any type of feedback would be nice.

Save your money for a next gen console.  

PS4 will have the option to play the whole playstation cateloug (PS1+PS2+PS3) of games thrugh gaikai (probably paid service but if you played for XBL this would be more then worth a subscription) and next box might be BC or you would at least  be able to play new exclusives since MS has put all focus on their next system

I personally think there is still a lot of value in the current consoles... great time to jump in for johnny come latelys and still great content coming out.

PS3 is still being supported while the M$ already abandoned the Xbox and the console is on direct life support from the same multiplats that the PS3's getting. 

PS3 = worth it

X360 = waste of money +pay for XBL to play the MP component of games you can play for free on the PS3 and to use Netflix too (basically a scam)

that's just wishful thinking and is not gonna happen any time soon. Stream services for games suck anyway and you need lightning fast internet for them to be only "decent".

It is never to late to buy a console. If there's a decent chunk of exclusives you want, and if you have enough expenses, there is absolutely no reason not to got for it.

I very much doubt that the next generation consoles will have full blown BC. And emulators, or whatever services they have (if they will) will never be accurate enough compared to playing on the original system, not to mention that you'll probably need to re-buy them again trough these supposed services.
