Alright, let’s talk about this PS3 thing, you know, like that Lawson shop. I heard folks talking, so I figured I’d chime in. Don’t know much about these fancy gadgets, but I can tell you what I heard.
What’s This PS3 Anyways?
First off, this “PS3,” they say it’s a game machine, like those things the young’uns play with. Looks like a box, I reckon. Heard it came out a long time ago, maybe… shoot, I don’t even remember when my eldest boy was still in diapers, that long ago. They say it sold a whole heap, like, millions and millions of ‘em. Must’ve been a good one, though I can’t see what’s so special about staring at a screen all day.
Buying One Now, Is That Possible?
Now, if you’re lookin’ to buy one these days, good luck to ya! They ain’t makin’ ‘em no more, that’s for sure. Stopped makin’ ‘em years ago, back when… well, it was a while back. Stopped sellin’ ’em online too, so you can’t just click a button and get one delivered to your door, no sir. You gotta go huntin’ for it, like lookin’ for a good bargain at a yard sale.
- Heard you can still find ‘em used, though. Gotta be careful, though. Folks might try to cheat ya, sell ya a broken one for a high price. Like sellin’ you a lame horse at the market, you know?
- Some stores might have ‘em, the ones that sell used stuff. Walmart, they say. And that eBay thing, where folks sell all sorts of things. Gotta haggle, though. Don’t let ‘em fool ya into payin’ too much. A penny saved is a penny earned, that’s what I say.
- Best Buy, they have ’em too, sometimes. But mostly the new stuff, the PS5, they call it. Shiny and new, but probably costs an arm and a leg. And those things are hard to figure out too, too many buttons and doohickies.
How Much Does it Cost?
Now, how much these things cost, that’s a whole other story. The price goes up and down like a seesaw. Some folks tryin’ to make a quick buck, they’ll charge you a whole lot. Others just want to get rid of it, so you might get a good deal. Seen ‘em as low as… well, less than a hundred dollars, they say. And as high as… well, who knows? Some folks are crazy with their money.
Used and Refurbished, What’s the Difference?
Heard some fancy words thrown around too, like “refurbished.” Sounds all high and mighty, but it just means someone fixed it up, I reckon. Like fixin’ up an old tractor, makin’ it run again. “Used” just means somebody else had it before. Might be good, might be bad, you never know until you try it. Like buyin’ a pig in a poke, as they say.
The Old Days vs. The New Days
Back in my day, we didn’t have all these fancy gadgets. We played outside, you know? Ran around, got dirty, built forts. Now these kids, they just sit inside, starin’ at screens all day. Don’t know what the world’s comin’ to, I tell ya.
Sony, Lawson and the PS3 – What’s the Connection?
Now this Lawson connection you talk about. Well Lawson was a big deal way back when selling PS3 stuff was hot, if I understand it right. They were selling the games, the themes and what not . Folks were lining up to buy from them, just like they line up for fresh bread at the bakery on Saturday mornings. Seems they sold a lot for Sony back then .
Should You Get a PS3?
So, should you get a PS3? Well, that’s up to you, ain’t it? If you like them video games, and you don’t want to spend a fortune on the new stuff, maybe it’s a good idea. Just be careful, don’t get cheated. And don’t spend too much time starin’ at that screen, get some fresh air once in a while. That’s my advice, for what it’s worth.
Final Thoughts from an Old Woman
These young folks and their gadgets. Always somethin’ new, somethin’ faster, somethin’ shinier. But sometimes, the old things are the best, you know? Like a good old rocking chair, or a warm cup of tea on a cold day. Maybe this PS3 is like that, an old thing that still brings some joy. Who knows? I’m just an old woman, what do I know about these things anyway?
Just remember to spend your money wisely, don’t go buying things you don’t need. And don’t forget to spend time with your family, that’s what really matters in life, not some fancy game machine.
