Why don't you just keep the PS3 and get a PS4? Then you can play all your old games as well as the new. These days TVs have a bunch of extra HDMI sockets and even if you are short a few you can get an HDMI hub.

I don't remember for sure at this point (this has dragged on for so friggin long) but I think "The Wife" would only agree to a new system if the current system left the homestead.

Exactly, but it'd actually have to leave the homestead after the fact.  Beside what else having you console players been discussing the past week other than my console purchasing processes?  :)

It is the hot button topic of 2016.

I have a pair of pants around here some where.  Most likely next to the PS3 console.

Woot!  Gamestop has both systems demo versions up and running!  I'm stopping in to play around and then either being responsible and getting some work done or buying a system and going home to game the night away...maybe.  :)

Speaking as the guy who originally suggested just keeping the PS3 and maybe getting another system...

"But honey, first I have to make sure this system works, then I can sell the other one and its games."

Problem solved.  >:D

I might be forced into keeping it because NCAA football isn't made any more and I have copy for the PS3.  I'm mentally working the argument right now.

^^ This would be my brother's argument for me keeping my PS3.  O0

Playing the demo boxes just made it worse.  I really like everything about the ps4 except the controller and it doesn't have forza racing games.  I really like everything about the Xbox except it doesn't have baseball, ratchet and clank, or the Xbox controller.  Freaking first world problems!

<smh> Stick with the PS3. You're not ready for a next gen console.
