Sony releases a $200 PlayStation 3, but you probably don't want it Aug 19th 2013, 14:28, by Ian Paul With only a few months to go until the PlayStation 4 makes its grand debut, Sony is plunging the PS3 into even lower-cost depths, with a $200 PS3 console that debuted over the weekend at Sony's U.S. e-store and Best Buy. The catch? The wallet-friendly PS3 packs a scant 12GB of onboard flash storage. Sony's new console is now the cheapest PS3 you can get in the U.S. without going the refurbished route. But do you really want this console? Maybe, but it all depends on whether you want to play games or not. If you're just looking for a set-top box that has access to Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Instant Video that can double as a Blu-ray player, this might be the box for you. Then again, the days of buying a PS3 as a cheaper alternative to Blu-ray players doesn't really make sense anymore. If all you want is online entertainment, you can pick up an Apple TV or Roku 3 for $99 and worthy Blu-ray players start around $80 on Amazon and Best Buy. At $180 or so all together, that's a $20 savings compared to the 12GB PS3. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Media files: playstation3-100050545-small.png
