In case you do not have enough money left after buying all of the things stated in the previous posts, but you want to get a PS3 (provided you do not have one yet), you might want to try buying refurbished PS3. Some people would tell you that it would be a bad thing to do; however, there are more advantages that refurbished PS3 units offer than meets the eye. The obvious advantage is of course the price. Refurbished units would normally only cost around 150–200$ per console.

This is basically around 50% of the brand new price in the market today. Also, if you are a classic game lover, ps3 refurbished units are normally made to have backward compatibility, meaning that they can run PS2 games without having any issues. There are also some that can give you warranties for your units, which is of course a bit rare, but once you find one, it would be best to buy from them.
