/v/ - MERRY CHRISTMAS

Used PS3, it actually has games. Bloodborne wasn't even that great.

Get a PS4.

Get the PS4, the used PS3 will probably die on you on a few months

Also, try to get a slim model

Get an used ps4, it will probably be hackable.

>>15910423

PS4 isn't hackable, almost all PS3s are though.

You would have to be utterly retarded to buy one that forces you to pay to play online, so PS4 should be out of consideration by default if you have anything resembling a brain. Better yet, don't support Sony at all. Have you been living under a rock and somehow missed that they're SJWs that censor everything but leftist propaganda?

Could do both if you can get a hackable PS3 for cheap and you're set on getting a console. It needs to under a specific model to be hackable though so read up on that first if you want one.

Consoles this gen are a really tough thing to sell to anyone who has any standards left, God knows how much the PS4 has left. It still feels like it's in its first year or so because there's honestly fuck all for it.

>>15910402

PS3 has more good games, but the PS4 has definitive versions of PS3 games like the best version of Persona 5, Odins Sphere or Ratchet & Clank. Oh, and it has Bloodborne. Also, the PS4 has still games being developed for like 13 Sentinels and Ghost of Tsushima. Sadly, with Sony moving to America, their company has been infested with Americans and now they're going full SJW.

>What would you choose?

No clue. I got both of them before the great soyening happened.

>>15910426

He'd be stupid to not buy them used. Is there even anything interesting on the PS4 that requires online play? Can't think of anything that really needs it.

>>15910425

The os4 is hacksble now

Buy an used ps2, use the usb to play the games of both ps2 and ps1, plus emulating snes, nes, genesis and a bunch of other classics (there are tutorials on the internet)

You didn't even specify what kind of games you like. That would have an impact on which is better.

>>15910402

The PS4 has a few PS3 games that act like better versions by running smoother and has crispier graphics, such as Ryu ga Gotoku Isshin & Zero, Persona 5, Tales of Berseria, One Piece Musou. PS3 games had a tendency to run poorly and limited at 30fps, while I've seen far more PS4 games running at least in constant 60fps.

But both the PS3 and PS4 are flawed in terms of library if you already own a PC for 3D games (like Vanquish, MGR, Bayonetta, EDF 4.1, etc) and a Vita (with some games running/looking worse in favor for portability but the CFW can let you run at max clock speeds for better framerate). And like the other anons pointed out, Sony America recently sabotaged the japanese division with their shitty international policies, so the interest for more jap games (especially the ones that rely on fanservice) on the PS4 has gone rather low.

Build your own PC and then use the new xbox 360 and PS3 emulators.

>>15910423

OP here

The one I can get definitely isn't hackable, the ones that are hackable are much more expensive.

The PS3 I could get is cheap and already hacked.

>>15910473

>using USB on PS2

>>15910592

The PS3 is the obvious choice, especially since the hacked ones also play PS2 games from HDD. PS4 is an absolute shit console (I'm saying this as someone that owns one) and anyone recommending it is a fucking retard. You can't even get a PS4 for physical copies of weebshit since kusony went full retard and started censoring everything.

>>15910624

You can still easily find plenty of PS4 games to enjoy. As shit as the censorship situation is it has only affected games I don't even play.

>>15910628

So in other words you just play AAA garbage. Any upcoming games I'm interested in have been or will be censored, and I don't want to support a faggot company like Sony for doing it.

now bend over and take some black dick while you're at.

Just wait for the ps5, and see if it has backwards compatibility.

Get a big black dildo and fuckoff to Resetera along with all the Sonyggers in this thread.

>>15910706

BELKA DID NOTHING WRONG

>>15910644

No, I was just very bored with senran kagura and hyperdimension neptunia and prefer other games like dq11, monster boy and yakuza.

>Any upcoming games I'm interested in have been or will be censored,

consider broadening your horizons

>>15910426

>caring about online

You shouldn't buy one because of censorship, but who cares about online?

>>15910402

PS3 has a more established library of actually worthwhile titles, and easier CFW and piracy options. All PS3s can also handle PS1 (with some admitted incompatibilities), while with the 20/60gb Fat, you can use the internal PS2 chip for native PS2 compatibility as well (both as physical compatibility and loading pirated games from the HDD to the system's disc tab) rather than deal with COBRA. Though, the downside is that fats do have longevity problems on account of the amount of heat and the shitty thermal paste. If going that route, either err with caution, look for an explicit refurbished one, or look into replacing the thermal paste yourself

>>15910422

>the used PS3 will probably die on you on a few months

>Implying

Maybe if it's a fat.

>>15910473

>Loading PS2 games.

>Through USB 1.0.

1.0 is not fast enough.

>>15910628

The issue is that Sony might start trying to push through post-release censorship patches to games they now consider a problem. Already seen them try to push through a firmware update during a software update for Bloodborne, despite the firmware update option explicitly being disabled and software updates having never required being logged in/up to date firmware. I suppose having games on actual disc does provide a sort of back up if they do (and some games honestly don't see any further post release patches to begin with), but unless there's current archival of various patches, that would leave the options as play unupdated or play at full update.

>>15910661

>wait for the PS5

>Give Sony money.

I highly doubt they're going to go back to native backwards compatibility at this point. Not when they can just sell you older games you might have already bought once before (but only the ones both their publishers and Sony wish to promote).

>>15911593

Should also add that while I don't consider firmware updates the same as censorship, it does show a particular lack of respect when the automatic update is disabled that they'd try to force it through anyhow, just for activating the online for a minute. I wouldn't put it past them to do similar for games they're not happy to leave uncensored in the future, where they might just send "updates" through without being first prompted that the user wants it.

Vita or 3DS

>The issue is that Sony might start trying to push through post-release censorship patches to games they now consider a problem.

probably but I can still see kat's nipples and cameltoe and that's cool with me. I'm not happy anything is getting censored but it's not doing much to stop me from supporting uncensored games I like.

Used PS3, so long as it's a first or second revision that can still play PS1 and PS2 games natively. Anything after they removed BC is a waste of time. PS4 is also a waste of time outside of Miku-shit and Bloodborne. Save your money and just emulate a PS3 on the PC. Maybe consider getting a PS5 if they include backwards compatibility in that, but they'll still probably be high on the censorial bandwagon so you might want to skip them then too just on principal. I guess just see how thing go after the Olympics are over.

>>15912539

It's really only the 20/60gb originals that have proper PS2 compatibility. The later 80gb fat used software emulation, which is more prone to glitching and incompatibility against proper hardware compatibility like the past models, so I'd say that one isn't especially worth it.

>>15912347

This. What's even the point of consoles you can't take with you? PC is a better choice then.

>>15914284

Yeah it got completely overhauled back in August I think and they have a new update every month now. All the games including ODST run at 4k60fps on the X. It's far better than it was at launch and the recent updates helped boost the player count.

Woof
