Worst PS3 Games

Every tide has its Ebb. The developers have indeed released games of poor quality for the PS3. It’s a shame that the prestigious users of the PS3 had to go through the misery of playing many such games due to high expectations. A couple of the worst are now in showcase for you.

Lair: A game where you fly on a fire breathing dragon sounds cool right? But unfortunately it isn’t. Bad controls, imbalanced gameplay and fuzzy graphics contributes it share in making the game a pain to play. Lair is also affectedby too many cut scenesand repetitive sound and voice dialog.




Sonic the Hedgehog: The glitches and the long loading times on every level are the key reasons to the fall of this famous game. Theultra-sensitive controls accompanied with bad camera angles add more oil to the fire. Sadly it doesn’t meet the high end quality the PS3 has to offer. Sonic is the best game in SEGA but it’s quite the opposite in case of PS3
There are certain other games like COD4: Modern Warfare which just don’t live up to expected standards. So PS3 gamers stay away from games you are going to regret playing

Buying a refurbished ps3

 If you are seeking to buy a brand new ps3 console did you ever thought about buying a refurbished ps3 and save a lot more money instead of spending thousands of dollars with new ps3 device.  Even though there are pros and cons with buying a refurbished ps3 console just like with anything else. Sometimes acquiring a refurbished unit could be little hard but if you happen to find out a seller that does it, then you are really fortunate and could really save hundreds of dollars compared to the original base value.  Many people are really distrustful regarding the term ps3 refurbished mainly because they don’t have a precise knowledge regarding what “refurbished” means in practice.



A "PS3 refurbished unit" certainly indicates an overstocked item or older model still in its original packing with warranty. Buying a PS3 refurbished unit could sound to be risky for many people, but there are ways where you could perform them safely if you are careful. The key to buying anything refurbished, whether it is a PS3 or a computer, is to make sure it comes with a warranty. This will insure that if you get the product home and it does not work correctly, the store will replace it immediately at no cost to you.

PS3: New vs Refurbished

refurb ps3

The PlayStation has always been the top of the “things from Santa” lists for many kids of many ages. Sony has now launched the refurbished PS3, a second hand PS3 with an official warranty. Is it really safe to get a second hand PS3? Is the risk really worth the money? Let’s have a look at the contrast between the two variants.

The Original PS3:  The new unit is obviously the better option to the refurb ps3 provided you have the resources. Youget a warranty of a year. On the down side of certain variants of the PS3 do not have a PS2 compatibility meaning your favorite PS2 games are a no one on the console. So if you seriously have no problem spending all that cash, grab a new one now. No second thoughts.

The Refurbished PS3: This used PS3 is the real deal. The refurb PS3 is an official release from Sony. It can be bought for about $100 less. It surprisingly comes with a warranty of 90 days and in some cases a year so it’s highly reassuring though second hand. With full PS2 compatibility it’s the right option for those on a budget
