New Ps3 or the Wii U

My releases PS3 got the YLOD the other night. I find the £134 for a replacement console a bit excessive with the we have no faith 3 month warranty.

 

I have had a good run with my Ps3 and own about 30 games that are exclusive to the system, but seeing the PS3 is in its twilight, Im thinking the Wii-U might be a better purchase.

 

So if you were in the market for a new console would you buy new Ps3 slim or a Wii U ?

Well the ps3 is really cheap right now so I would go with a new ps3 because there are lots of more game to be released for it.

Re: New Ps3 or the Wii U

yeah it's a bit pointless asking on Playstation forum whether to switch consoles. a 160GB model is not much more than the price you just quoted and I'm assuming you meant release day PS3, so I'd say get slim and sell your Fat on for spares/repairs but make sure it's deactivated first.

And in the long run it's the cheapest option as they already have 30 games.

new wii = more new games to buy.

how can you justify paying that amount of money for a refurb with 3 months warranty when an extra 30ish pounds gets a brand new one with a full warranty
