“Do I "Need" to buy anything else? I am looking to upgrade my PS3 that I have had for ages (since about a year after it came out). It is starting to have issues such as shutting down while in use, resetting the video settings on its own, etc. I use it largely for Blu Ray but do play games and use the apps for Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix, etc. DO I have to buy anything else to use this if I am not planning to use online gaming?”

You don't need to purchase anything except the remote control for the PS4 since the PS3 remote control is not compatible. Unfortunately the PS4 remote control does not have a touch pad or an aux port for headphones (like the dual shock 4 does which allows you to watch things with headphones). If you're used to using a game controller for multimedia input than you won't have to purchase anything additional but I would recommend buying a charging port for the controller so you don't have to fiddle with the cable every time you have to charge it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not sure what you mean by "anything else". If your console runs Blu-Rays and apps fine, apart from the obvious things like a TV, internet connection and a Dualshock 4, you don't need anything else. Now, as far as upgrading goes, the only upgrading you can do on a PS3 is getting a hard drive with more capacity and faster read/write times on said hard drive. Also, this may not be a big issue, but I have noticed that the newer (more recently manufactured) Dualshock 3s tend to connect muçh faster after the initial pairing.
