Is it worth playing the PS3 in 2019? I want to play some games I missed out on and they're not on PS Now

Just as a note if you end up buying a PS3 and also intend to use it as a home entertainment system (video streaming):

Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube are still supported however the PS3 app for Twitch no longer is for some reason. Twitch just quietly stopped releasing updates for the PS3 version and it doesn't seem like it will ever be updated.

Netflix still had support to PS2 until circa 2012, so I guess the PS3 owners are fine.

Unquestionably yes.

When we look back, PS3 will rank well above current generation. Likely more due to games industry not leaning so hard on online play, which has now devolved in a handful of genres and cookie cutter gameplay.

I think the real question in what happens to all of our ps+ games when they sunset?

PS3 is great, I still play the shit out of mine, probably as much as my PS4.

I have 24 Physical Games and 20 digital the digital is mainly in case Sony does something ducky with backwards compatibility and you need to have the digital version of the game and not the disc about half my digital games are physical backups I got at a good price.

You can also still buy NEW SEALED PS3 games still for around $20. I'd recommended picking one up for all the HD PS2 ports and some good Japanese games.

If you have a good enough computer you can emulate most of the exclusives and non-pc ported games decently and some like DeS and Persona at resolutions and performance higher than the original, and like emulation in general it's always going to get better with time

get one!

For PS3 exclusives? no. For the PS1/PS2/PS3 library? yes. Though if you're interested in PS1/PS2 games, a fat PS2 on ebay is still the best choice, as you can install a HDD on it, it can even have a faulty optic driver.

Yeah man, plenty of good games to play that you can get on the cheap. Plus it's still the only way to play demon's souls

Had mine stashed in the basement. After I moved I set it up again and put a custom firmware on it. It's nice for playing PS2 games since pcsx2 is still a lot worse for a lot of games.
