Is buying a PS3 worth it in 2023? (lemmy.ml)

I never had a PS3 back in the day. I have a PS5 now, and when I was looking at the PS+ packages, I was fascinated by the fact that all the PS3 games have to be streamed. And what's more, relatively few PS3 games are even on the service. I didn't realize that the PS3 was such a unique/powerful console, that it still apparently can't be properly emulated even on a PS5.

I am interested in playing Final Fantasy 13, the Killzone series, Resistance Fall of Man, among others. Looks like a PS3 can be had for about $120 at my local game store.

Do others still have and use their PS3? Does it still connect/interface to Sony's online service? Like can I still get trophies that connect with my PS account, buy DLC, etc? Or is all that shut down?

I do have an Xbox Series X, so I could play FF13 on there, but none of the other games.

(Hopefully this kind of post is ok here, I know it's not gaming news, but just trying to not sit and lurk, but actually create discussion)
