    you can get preowned ps3?

    definately if it is cheaper.......

    they only came out quite recently so i would say it is definately worth it considering it will still be quite new and any way to save money is good if oyu are going to spen that much money

    but thats just me, a stingy poor student.

    Either way its top technology and worth it if you really want it and can afford it.

    ps3 may be overhyped , but i dont know personally yet. money wise its not going to be much of an issue because its expensive either way, but if im going to even think of buying it, id recommend trying it out somewhere before purchasing

    Why would you waste your money on a PS3? They are pieces of flaming garbage that are overpriced. The hype was way too high, and the PS3 will never be able to compete with the likes of Xbox360 or the Wii.

    PS3=bottom class of next gen.

    Surely this is just a matter of opinion?! I would get a PS3, because that is where most of the decent RPGs are. (I just cannot afford the price.) Xbox360 is also way overpriced and as far as I am concerned, imo, is a waste of money. It is just a case of what each individual prefers.

    I would get the preowned ps3 as long as it still has a pretty long warranty.

    could we please keep discussion to which one is better to buy and not whether either of them should be bought

    check the warranty on the pre owned one and if it is long enough in your mind, go for it
    £100 is a fair bit of money... although i would go for the new one (but then, that's just me)
