Here are some recent, genuine prices for PlayStation 3 games, bought in the UK. Grand Theft Auto V for £5.00. Battlefield 3 for £1.99 (which still has a decent player count online.) Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for £1.50 and even that still has players online. The Last of Us for £8.00. Far Cry 4 for £7.00.

For the cost of one PlayStation 4 quality indie or preowned title - let's say £20 - price-conscious gamers can net a bundle of quality games for PlayStation 3. With nearly 1,500 games released over the lifetime of the console between 2006 and 2016, there's no way you'll have completed the lot even if you do have a five-hour-a-day habit.

PS3 consoles themselves can be nabbed for £100 or less, often with five or more games packed in.

Whether you're searching in the pre-owned section of your local games retailer, hunting on online auction sites for disc-only listings, promotional copies of games or simply checking your local community ads, amazing games (and the systems themselves) can be gotten ridiculously cheaply for PlayStation 3.
