š Why a PS3 is worth it in 2025
Amazing game library: Many classics are still locked to PS3
(The Last of Us, MGS4, GTA IV, Infamous, Resistance, Killzone 2/3)
Cheap: Consoles and games are very affordable now
Offline gaming: Perfect if you just want to play without updates, subscriptions, or DRM
Great for modding: Jailbroken PS3s can:
Run backups and homebrew
Emulate PS1 / PS2 (and some retro consoles)
Act as a media center
Upgradeable storage: Easy HDD ā SSD upgrade for faster loading
š Why it may not be worth it
Online gaming is mostly dead (many servers shut down)
Aging hardware: YLOD risk on older models
Lower performance compared to modern consoles
No new games or major updates
