There's also the Silent Hill HD Collection, but from everything I hear it is a lazy and sloppy port of the games.
Whew! I swear I am not a shill for Amazon. I just appreciate a good deal when I see it.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Katamari Forever. I love playing that game with my boyfriend.
... not in the US ...
My wife is the gaming equivalent of a 10 year old, and we've enjoyed playing Little Big Planet 2 & Carting. We also got the genesis collection for nostalgia, and we've enjoyed the simple multiplayer options.
You would still have fun, but you'd be missing a big part of the story. Plus you can get I and II in HD for for around $20. It's worth it.
this man is correct. get the HD collection (I and II on a single disc). it doesn't look as good as III, but well worth playing.
there is also the Origins Collection, which is the PSP games. I haven't played it, so I don't know how well it ported, but the games are also worth playing.
I don't know which ones you haven't played, so I'm just going to list whichever ones come to mind.

A bit of a novel, but I hope you find this helpful, OP.
First, to comment on what happened on your call with Microsoft: maybe it's possible you just got one of the really bad reps? But then again, they got a supervisor involved and they still wouldn't just fix the situation for you? Especially seeing as you hadn't even used your subscription... that is pretty ridiculous. Well, I'm confident that you'll find the PlayStation experience an enjoyable one.
-----
Honestly, this is probably the best time to try out a PS3. We're closing out on this generation of consoles and some of the best games of the last few years have been PlayStation exclusives. Especially if you've been using an Xbox 360 this whole time, you're about ready to meet a whole new world of incredible titles.
Quick edit: Just wanted to clarify... I'm including links to Amazon just as an easy way for you to learn more about individual titles. But just as /u/undeadwolfy mentioned:
>You can buy most of these pre-owned at a decent price. Some are digital so they're not much cheaper but still great.
So first and foremost, I highly recommend anything by Naughty Dog -- they are arguably the best developer in the entire industry right now. They released four titles on the PS3: Uncharted 1, 2 & 3 (each game is a must-play), and the absolute masterpiece that is The Last of Us. You've probably heard plenty of praise for The Last of Us (and it is well deserved), but I would recommend saving the best for last. It's such an awesome game that, after completing it, nothing else I played interested me anymore. It took like a month to get back into the gaming groove, so I'd save that 'til after you beat the Uncharted trilogy. It's that good.
Aside from that, there are some other great titles I'd highly recommend. I don't know what kind of games you're into, so I'll just list all those that I've liked, personally:
Not to mention plenty of other great exclusives (Rachet & Clank series, Resistance trilogy, Valkyria Chronicles and more) and the tons of PS1 and PS2 games on the PlayStation Store for cheap, playable on your PS3 if you want to go old school. (Not to mention the many PS2 games being rereleased for PS3 in HD glory... I'd recommend Shadow of the Colossus, which happens to be free for PlayStation Plus members this month... hint hint.) Of course, all the multiplatform games are also here (Battlefield, Bioshock, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, etc.).
That said, however, if you really want to jump in the game, PlayStation Plus is worth every penny -- a ton of free games each month (and we're talking major titles, in addition to a handful of indies), plus a large variety of other system-enhancing features and discounts. And if you're looking at getting a PS4, getting PS+ is a no-brainer. For one, it is required for online multiplayer on the PS4 (no such requirement on the PS3, but hey, they've got to make their money somehow). But what's awesome is that one PS+ account will work across both the PS3 & PS4, and enable you to get free games for each console for as long as you are a subscriber, with free games on the PS4 appearing on day one.
Welcome to the new age. Now cue up some Imagine Dragons and get ready for a freaking awesome experience. We're glad to have you.

No early access; probably going to receive it a couple days after it comes out as usual with Newegg.
Amazon's $30 after $10 Amazon credit, early access, and release-day shipping is a better deal.
You could get MGS Collection and Uncharted 3 for about the price of BF3 Premium.
A quick Amazon search reveals:
UC3 is $33 new, $25 used:
http://www.amazon.com/Uncharted-3-Drakes-Deception-Playstation/dp/B004EQCCI4/
MGS is $30 new, $29 used:
http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Gear-Solid-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B0050SX97I/
so I say go with that!
The reason behind the glut of remasters is how cheap and easy they are. Fetch the uncompressed assets, change the rendering resolution, up the framerate, fiddle with some fancy shaders, do a little QA, then kick it out the door. I bet some companies are literally assigning interns to these projects. (I'm looking at you, Konami)
The assets for God of War 3 are still presentable today, so a GW3 remaster is cheap and easy. It takes a lot more work to make God of War 1 look worthy of a current-gen platform. That amount of work is comparable to the art budget for a brand new game... so not worth it from a business standpoint.
It's a paradox... the games that need remastering least, get remastered.
I bought Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for this. It has..

Tomb Raider is an amazing game if you haven't played that yet! The 970 can easily run at ultra settings and maintain 60 fps. The current lowest price I could find is Amazon for [$7.99]

Amazon! You can get both 1.5 and 2.5 and have them by Friday if you have Amazon Prime - I got my brother both for the Holidays.
I hope you don't actually walk into video game stores expecting to find anything that isn't Modern Battle of Gran Theft Halo: Black Warfare Ghosts 5.
On the whole I found 5 (ps4 so far, copy of 5 switch might be coming tomorrow though, or tuesday if not. Super excite!) to be much better than 4, but I'll go through the points:
> Which has the most content including DLC?
Unsure exactly, as I have yet to get 4 on the Vita and dislike buying the DLC for the console versions. It's worth noting that 5 Complete (as well as all of the handheld versions of the games, barring 2 kind of) comes with the DLC packaged in where if you were to get the console version of 4 it doesn't include any of it. It's not particularly cheap to buy either (although if you can get the base game for ~$10 that's pretty much balanced out lol). I believe the base campaign is a little longer in 5 than 4. Post games will tend to be equalish length.
> Is it worth playing D4 just for the story?
This I feel isn't exclusive to just 4, even though 5 is the best mechanically speaking, I would argue that if you end up enjoying the series it would be worth playing any/all of them for their stories. especially for as cheap as you can get them now xD One thing I would look into since you have a PS3 is: This collection. A lot of game for the cost xD That said, I wouldn't delve into the post game of the older entries. Things have gotten much more manageable as time has gone on, like ease of grinding and such.
> If I play D4, will I still be interested in D5, or is it alot of the same?
I would think so. As a fan of the series I'm always looking forward to the next entries (I played them in the order 1 -> 3 -> 4 -> 2 -> 5). This ties back into the fact that they all have fun stories and so are very different games in that regard. 4 and 5 specifically is kind of tough because the stories/character motivations are kind of similar-ish, but they're definitely different enough to be unique.
> Did they remove any features/gameplay mechanics that were present in D4, and not in D5?
Not that I can think of. There were game-specific features taken out of 2 going into 3, and 3 going into 4. I suppose technically 5 uses the "old style" weapon mastery system, where characters have profficiencies for different weapons, and you can equip them with anything but having a better proficiency levels it up faster which leads to new skills faster and more damage faster. In 3/4 they changed it to a system where each char just had a set of weapons they could use/learn skills in. You could equip them with other weapons, but they couldn't use the skills from them. You /could/ fix that by utilizing various systems but it was somewhat less ideal that the current one where anyone can use anything easily. So the good one's back~
> Should I even start as a newb with D4? Other title suggestions? I own a PC(Steam)/PS3/Switch, so I have access to all the Disgaea titles.
I think you're fine starting anywhere anyways. I would recommend Disgaea 5 for the best gameplay experience, but I also don't think it has one of the better stories the series has to offer. Really it depends on how jarring you find going backwards, gameplay-wise. If that's not a big deal to you, I'd recommend 5 to get introduced to the series, then play other ones that seem interesting to you. But if you can only go forwards, definitely at least play disgaea 1 on PC or PS3 (I think you can get in PS3, maybe not). It's definitely a classic and should be experienced. Then you could branch out to whichever games you liked. 3's my personal fave, cast/story wise, school theme. 2 has a pretty good story, but some weaker side characters. 4 is something of a political comedy at first and has some of the more humorous overall casts in the series. 5 I like the main chars a lot, but overall narrative not as much. D1 also has a sequel, DD2 (it's in that collection I linked) that should probably be played only after D1. I've not played it yet so I don't know how vital playing D1 first is, but it's a direct sequel so... yeah xD
You have a lot of options! I'll try to help you through all of them.
The only good Crash Bandicoot games are the first three (and the racing game) and they were only released on the original PlayStation and the PS3's online store. There is no Crash Bandicoot collection, unfortunately. You can either buy the three original discs or you can download them on the Playstation Store for 6 bucks each and play them on a PS3.
If you buy the original discs you'll need an original PlayStation, a PSOne (which is just a tiny original PlayStation), a PS2, or a PS3. All of those consoles can play PS1 games. A PS2 isn't much more expensive than a PS1 and will allow her to play PS2 games as well. The PS3 can play all PS1 games and all PS3 games, plus it has much sharper video. If she has a PS3 she can also download more PS1 games at any time, and the downloadable games are much cheaper than buying the original discs.
A PS2 or PS3 is probably the best bet, depending on your budget and what sort of games she enjoys.
There are no Sega consoles with Crash Bandicoot games on them. Not unless we count emulators. So we can rule those out.
If you want to play Sonic the Hedgehog games, you have lots of options. The most popular Sonic games were on the Sega Genesis, but they've been re-released so many times that you can get them for almost every console, computer, or phone out there. There are no Sonic games on the PS1, but there are collections of the old Sonic games on both the PS2 and PS3.
If you buy a PS2, you'll want to get the Sonic Mega Collection Plus. It's a nice collection of the best old Sonic games and usually goes for less than $10 used.
If you buy a PS3, you can get a huge collection of 40+ Sega games called Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for very cheap. It costs less than $15 at most stores and it includes most of the best Sega Genesis games ever made, including the Sonic titles. You can probably find it for even cheaper at your local used game store.
If you don't mind spending a little more on the console, a used PS3 is probably the best bet. The console is more expensive than a PS2 or Genesis, but it can play Crash and Sonic, the Crash and Sonic games themselves will be much cheaper, it will look better on a modern TV than the old consoles do, it's extremely easy to use, and you'll be able to play more recent games on it. It also doubles as a blu-ray player and has lots of TV apps like Netflix and Hulu.
Now moving on to handheld options... things get a little more complicated.
There is no handheld system that has official support for the good Crash and Sonic games. If you want these games on a handheld device, you need to be willing to download the old games and do a little work. I can't tell you exactly how/where to download old games for this purpose because it's against the rules of most subreddits (and because it's piracy) but it's very easy. Here are your handheld options:
A hacked PSP would be able to play downloaded PS1 games and Sega games, plus a few other consoles. It's cheap and works well, but it takes a little bit of knowledge to put one of those together and use it.
Most Android phones can play most retro games (including Sonic and Crash) by installing an emulator and loading the games onto the phone. This is the easiest portable option. You could buy a bluetooth controller to go with the phone, so you don't have to deal with bad touch-screen controls. If she already has an Android phone this could be a good option. If not, it could be pretty expensive to put together.
There are tons of emulation options that aren't handheld and would allow you to play both Crash and Sonic games, but that's beyond the scope of this post.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions, or want to know more about a specific game or console.
edit: This post ended up longer than expected! Hopefully this isn't too overwhelming!
edit2: added links and some more info
Thanks! FYI - This sale has been price-matched by Amazon.
7 games, two digital graphic novels, a 100+ page art book and a movie. Quite the deal. I'm enjoying it.
link: http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-XIV-Playstation-3/dp/B002BRZ79E
Read the warning that tell you that it is permanent?
Also, in the future, I would suggest comparing prices. The game is $20 on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002BRZ79E/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1404775774&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40
For those that don't want the Bundle and prefer disc, Tomb Raider is on sale for the $20 on amazon. http://amzn.com/B004FS8LYK
Here you go.
https://www.amazon.com/Fallout-New-Vegas-Ultimate-Playstation-3/dp/B0065NP05G
internet dude. you can get both the F3 GOTY edition and New Vegas Ultimate Editions for 20 bucks each...
http://www.amazon.com/Fallout-Game-Edition-Playstation-sony-playstation3/dp/B002BXKJ6O

Thats 40 bucks for almost 200 bucks worth of games and all the DLC for them.
If you can afford it, you can get the Ezio Trilogy for a good bundled price. It has 3 great, if not the best, AC games that follow a single badass protagonist. Keep in mind that the new remastered version is coming out soon, although it hasn't been officially announced.
AC1 is the introduction to the game (the one game before the games in this bundle) so you will miss the introduction to the Creed/Modern Day characters. However the game is (to me) a pretty bad way to be introduced to the game, so I think it's better to fall in love with ACII then go back to relive ACI. Just read/watch a video on the modern day story of ACI if you want to have a better understanding of the going-ons in ACII.
Also, I wouldn't recommend Chronicles, they're a spin-off of the original games (Not to diss them though!). But I think AC: China may be available for free with XBone gold this month so maybe you could look for yourself. Hope this helped
Hey man! Welcome aboard, first of all -- you're in for an awesome ride. :)
There ARE a couple of bundles I'm aware of, that you could certainly look into.
Hope this helps a bit. :)
Just to clear up any confusion (because when I went to buy these games 6 months ago I got it messed and up wasted $10.) The Legacy Collection includes The HD Collection, MGS IV, and a PSN code for MGS1 (note this ISN'T the Twin Snakes version, which is Gamecube exclusive and is much better in almost every way. So much so, that IMO you should just watch a long play on youtube instead of playing the original PS1 version.)
So if you DON'T have MGSIV and want to play/experience the whole series, absolutely get the more complete Legacy Collection. Only buy the stand alone HD Collection if you already have a copy of MGSIV and are going to watch Twin Snakes (MGS1)on youtube (which I recommend either way.)
what'd you pay for the system, and what kind?
first, before you buy anymore games, i strongly suggest you get a FREE amazon Prime subscription. don't know how? sign up at any community college, DO NOT register for classes, you are only doing this to get a ".edu" email address. use the .edu to register for an amazon prime account.
i'm not a fan of red dead redemption, though i loved red dead. also the mass effect series was one i had a hard time catching on to. rather than rank by number, i'll just put an asterisk next to my top choices.
Yup, might be kinda hard to find though, it was for me at least. Just did a quick search on amazon and its a little pricey but still worth it: http://www.amazon.com/Orange-Box-Playstation-3/dp/B000PE0HBI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325369575&sr=8-1
just.
well...being a gamer, this is orange! not so delicious but still fun...

>They will never do this.
"Cross platform play on PlayStation 3 and Windows PC"
There really isn't anywhere to buy it online. You can order it on Amazon but it'll cost you and is not worth it. The PC version has all sorts of issues apparently.
I would either buy this for the PS3/360 (easiest option really) or emulate the game using PCSX2, but please don't ask for a link to the ISO for the game.
>it didn't help that I played it in the middle of the night with the lights out
That is the best way to enjoy scary games, I commend you for going the extra step. I try to do it that way myself, but I'd be lying if I didn't confess to occasionally turning on the lights when I get scared.
If you still want to play the second and third games, now's actually a good time to get around to them since they're being re-released in HD. This is one of those occasions where I have to keep myself from re-buying a game I've played over and over in order to enjoy other games I've already purchased. Though if the HD collection comes on sale later...
In the US, there's the Ezio collection with 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations for ~$20 here. 1 and 3 aren't as good, though 3 may be worth renting or buying used.
I'd stay away from Prince of Persia (2008, or whatever). It just didn't feel the same and it's not in the same universe as Forgotten Sands/Sands of Time/etc.
As for the AC series, stick to the Ezio trilogy (which you can buy for less than $30). AC1 isn't bad, but 2 is such a huge leap forward that I simply can't recommend the first one. 3 had it's moments, but overall fell short of the greatness of 2.
Tales of Symphonia Chronicles on PS3! I love love love me a good JRPG and this series is one of the best. I had Symphonia ages ago, but it has since disappeared (not to mention that I no longer have a 360 anyway). I almost picked it up a few weeks ago at the store, but when I went back to get it, they'd run out.
If you have a PS3, you can snag a shiny new copy of the Chronicles edition for $30 (USD). It's both games in one, and considering the quality of the games, that's a steal.
I'm assuming you're a US citizen, but... dood,
I know it's extra expense, but $110 (plus any applicable sales tax for your state) ain't half bad.
PSTV works with PS3+4 controllers afaict (it works with mine but mine's fully patched!), so... you should be good to go.
Other than that... Disgaea 3 was a decent game, Disgaea 4 is FAR superior to it. Get D4 before / instead of D3 if budget's a concern.
That and you can pick up Disgaea 1 Afternoon of Darkness PSP version and Disgaea 2 PSP for it too... :p guess what I've got on my Vita? :D
Disgaea 5 beats both of them on convenience of the game's systems etc. It's really well done. So get Disgaea 5 to go with your new PS4, and then think about the Vita versions of the prior games, maybe :)
EDIT: $31 for the Triple Play: https://www.amazon.com/Disgaea-Triple-Play-Collection-PlayStation/dp/B011L4CFB0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487863466&sr=8-1&keywords=disgaea+collection - so a cheap PS3 might be a good way to go if you can get that!
PS3 is also a blu-ray player so if you're the kind who needs a blu-ray player for a second room, ... there's a convenient excuse for you :D
$30 is expensive for this title. Here it is for $10 + expensive shipping at Square's store. It is $20 on Amazon now. and about the same price at Walmart.
This is not a deal. The normal price dropped to $20 a while ago.

Uh, have you seen This yet??? If you have and still only want 1 I'd suggest getting DD2. It's the most streamlined and fun. It features the original cast and I feel has more content as well.
This thing. The HD version of my favorite Gamecube game.
There have been a lot of Kingdom Hearts games that have come out since Kingdom Hearts 1 came out in 2002. There's been the first game, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 2, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts Coded, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep 0.2 -A fragmentary passage.
The collections are the newest versions of these games. Kingdom Hearts 1.5, Kingdom Hearts 2.5, and Kingdom Hearts 2.8 are the collections. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 is just both of those two collections on a single disc, but made for the PS4 rather than the PS3.
The cheapest way to get these games is either to get 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 used, or to buy The Story So Far, which is a digital version of all of the collections, which include all of the games so far. It's only $40, and you get six games and three movies (358/2 Days, Re:Coded, and X: Back Cover are all movies). All in One is exactly like The Story So Far, but also includes Kingdom Hearts 3. It's $100, so you don't save any money by getting All in One rather than The Story So Far.
My whole point being that you shouldn't pay more than $40 USD for all of the games prior to Kingdom Hearts 3.
Here
I've just recently got into the series (and love every bit of it) so I'll add my opinion.
First of all, definitely buy the HD collection now that it's on sale. It has an incredible amount of content - I've spent approx. 60 hours going through the games for the first time.
However, the HD collection misses the first MGS from 1998. It is available on PSN for approx. $10 and I'd recommend you to get it as well. However - speaking from my experience 5 months ago - beware. The game is old, the controls are hard to get used to, boss fights are tough and some parts can be extremely frustrating. I played on Normal difficulty and it took me about 25 hours to beat. I wanted to quit, watch a walkthrough and skip the rest of the game, several times. But I managed to beat it and it felt great. In the end, I regret nothing. It was incredibly satisfying experience, the story was fantastic and I probably wouldn't enjoy the later games as much had I skipped the first MGS. And the music.... ah, that's something you'll never ever forget.
Still, if you decide to skip it - at least watch it as a movie on YT.
When it comes to MGS4, you should have plenty of time to grab it later on. It's one of the "Greatest Hits" games (similar to Platinum on PS2 but with far nicer packaging in red) and its quite cheap - I got a new one in store for 15 €. Amazon has it for $16.49.
Last but not least, play the games in their release order, i.e.:
I've finished main story of Peace Walker a few days ago and I already know I'm going to buy PS4 because of MGS V. I fell in love with the series.
1 AM over here, gotta go. Let me know if you have any questions!
Ah yeah, thanks for correcting the URL :) They also have an awesome extension for Chrome (and I would assume Firefox) so you can make the notifications right there in amazon's website. It's quite cool. You'll also get the historical data there as well.
Used will always be cheaper because it needs to compete against new. Why by a used product if you can buy new? So you price it less. New can't keep chasing used as you'll just eventually bottom out (ie: shits just free). The used market can't be used to direct prices.
Movies usually make all their money in ticket sales in theaters, the DVD release is just icing on the cake. Unfortunately for games, they don't have theatrical releases. Most games will eventually sit around $20 once they're old enough, Metal Gear Solid 4 has been $20 for ages, same with Resident Evil 4 and even Assassin's Creed II, which comparatively isn't as old as those other games. You can also get Medal of Honor and Dante's Inferno for $20, and I think they're barely 2 years old, perhaps only a year and a half actually (and the list of $20 games goes on and on).
It really shines in action/adventure:

Or go buy Vagrant Story on PSN. It's 6 dollars and one of the best RPGs ever.
It's super cheap now. Amazon has both PS3 and Xbox360 versions listed at under twenty dollars here. I doubt it will go any lower though.
Why is it still almost $40 on Amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/Orange-Box-Playstation-3/dp/B000PE0HBI/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1228167347&sr=8-3
Not sure where you've seen it for $60, but there are obviously better deals.
Portal was awesome too. I thought about picking it up again for the ol' PS3 as part of the Orange Box, now that everyone has moved on to the PS4 and prices of games have dropped. There's also the perk of getting the Half-Life episodes and Team Fortress 2 (which I imagine nobody plays anymore??) but....what the bloody hell. The price of a new copy on amazon is between $100 to $200!! I might just settle for someone's greasy cheeto's stained scratched to hell used copy for $30 or so, instead.

This is pretty nice. Although no Sonic&Knuckles and Sonic 3 has some audio issues.
Just get this. Dozens of games and you can save at any point.
Here you go
this has Shining Force, Shining in the Darkness and Shining Force 2 on it.
Oh absolutely.
I'm sure I could find you more!
Great fun, just miffed at the price per content of Katamari Damacy. It's been already remade into HD and bundled with the second and can be found much cheaper now.
See [Katamari Forever](katamari forever - playstation 3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0028A6UUY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.qYNBb9DZ9Z8J)
If we're getting Forever on the Switch for $30, that would be more palatable.
Hmm..I'm pretty sure mines called damacy but here's katamari forever;

https://www.amazon.com/NIER-Playstation-3/dp/B002BRYIJY
Also there are probably copies in game stores that still have PS3 games.
How is NieR rare? You can still get it brand new cheap.
https://www.amazon.com/NIER-Playstation-3/dp/B002BRYIJY/
What you can do is buy another PS3 copy of the game, upgrade your current PS3 license to the PS4 version, then use the bought PS3 copy to get the license back. The PS4 Upgrade Campaign has been extended to March 31st of 2015, so you have some time to do that. It's only 20$ right now as I'm posting this on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-XIV-Realm-Reborn-Playstation/dp/B002BRZ79E/ref=sr_1_1_twi_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1417535574&sr=8-1&keywords=ffxiv
I'd recommend buying it before it goes off sale.
http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-XIV-Reborn-Playstation-3/dp/B002BRZ79E
I don't know if you can order from Sony but you can preorder from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-XIV-Reborn-Playstation-3/dp/B002BRZ79E/ref=tag_dpp_lp_edpp_ttl_in
Or the squareenix site
No, but I have good news! Right now the PS3 version of the game is on sale for super cheap.
http://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-XIV-Realm-Reborn-Playstation/dp/B002BRZ79E/
And as an added bonus, if you buy a PS3 copy you can UPGRADE to PS4 for free until April 1st.
So, save yourself money and get that PS3 copy and upgrade it to PS4 right away. If you want to you could also buy a second one to still have access on PS3.
Battlefield 3 - $39.99
$30 is pretty high, but the sweet spot is right around $20, but I would be willing to pay up to $25 and MAYBE $30 depending on the game.
Well technically they didn't lie to you, they just had higher prices than the prices I checked Normal edition: http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-3-Playstation/dp/B002I0J82G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346890776&sr=8-1&keywords=battlefield+3+ps3
Premium edition (the one with all the dlc): http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-3-Premium-Edition-Playstation/dp/B008OQTU6C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1346890776&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=battlefield+3+ps3 <-- note that this version is not out for another 5 days so if you want to save money and can wait 1 week then this is the best choice
Yes! The Uncharted series is one of the best and most accessible on the PS3. Stunning visuals, awesome voice acting and animation, classic action/adventure plot - it feels like you're in an Indiana Jones movie! The games are very entertaining to watch too.
Another amazing adventure series I would also highly recommend: God of War. It's an epic and fascinating story that immerses you in Greek mythology. It's pretty gritty and gory, but really an incredibly fun game. The first two games were for PS2, but they were re-released in widescreen as a bundle for the PS3.
Other games I think you'd like: Infamous (scifi/action/adventure), Dead Space (scifi/horror/adventure), and Assassin's Creed 2 (historical/stealth/adventure).
http://www.amazon.com/God-War-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B002NN7AKU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=videogames&amp;qid=1268212967&amp;sr=8-1
Got these games last month:
Heavy Rain - $15 (BF @ Gamestop)
Dirt3 - $15 (BF @ BB)
Uncharted 3 - $30 (BF @ BB)
Uncharted 1 & 2 - $25 (BB Deal)
Ico & Shadows of the Colossus - $20 (BB Deal + Rebate)
Batman Arkham City - $30 (BF)
Need for Speed: The Run - $30 (BF)
Resistance 1 & 2 - $25 (BB Deal)
Total cost = $190 (before taxes)
BB = Best Buy Dual Pack Deal
BF = Black Friday
The next games I'm looking into getting are Goldeneye 007 Reloaded (Bundle Edition), Saints Row: The Third, and Skyrim
You're in luck, in light of the new console generation most the greatest hits available for the PS3 are available for half their original price or less some even available in combo packs.
• Any title from the Ratchet and Clank series. The original trilogy is available on one disk on amazon with remastered HD graphics for $19 as well as All 4 one for ten bucks.
• The UNCHARTED series is praised as one of the best exclusives on the console to date and will not fail to impress.
• If you're a Sonic fan or not these games are fun.
• A few other gems that are worth a look.
Bioshock Infinite: $59.99 for download on Amazon. $44.90 for boxed copy.
Borderlands 2: cheaper if you buy boxed copy
Tomb Raider: PC download version more expensive than both PS3 and 360 versions
I don't see it. Here's what I see: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0050SX7BQ/
Keep in mind that you're linking to the wrong game in your post.
They call them "HD remakes" even though they look mostly the same. I'm afraid that this is the alternative to backwards compatibility, rebuying remakes instead of allowing us to play what we bought.
But then you run into problems like this, http://www.amazon.com/Silent-Hill-HD-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B0050SXAIG . It has 2 out of the 9 games, and they look marginally better, but still carries a solid price tag.
I think the $9.99 one is out of stock. You can still go to this page and place an order but it says it can take up to 1-3 weeks for it to ship.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B005YR308S/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=new&amp;qid=1381523589&amp;sr=8-1
When a game gets old (e.g. 1 year or more) it gets cheaper and you get a version like this: AC1-3
If you can spare another $10, you can get the Assassin's Creed Ezio Trilogy.
www.amazon.com/Assassins-Creed-Ezio-Trilogy-Playstation-3/dp/B009GZX49Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415049242&sr=8-1
First thing's first. Pay $50 for PS Plus. You'll get free games every month. This month, you'll be getting Deadly Premonition and the Hitman HD Collection, which I've heard great things about despite not playing it myself.
The Last of Us and the Uncharted Trilogy are the best games hands-down. Those are probably the best games I have ever played so I implore you to play through those first.
You should definitely check out Assassin's Creed: Ezio Trilogy. You should probably play the original Assassin's Creed first, because it will make your enjoyment of Revelations that much sweeter, but the Ezio Trilogy is definitely the best part of the series.
Infamous is excellent. I just finished the game for the first time and will be playing through it again. I haven't played Infamous 2, but I've heard good things about it as well.
Demon's Souls is another fantastic game. It's pretty difficult though. I think it's best played as a buffer while you're playing another game. Like, if you're sick of running around Rome for a while in Assassin's Creed, take a break, do some of your Demon's Souls levels, and go back to AC. It definitely requires some patience.
The Batman Arkham Trilogy is also great. Some people have found a habit of shitting on Origins, but it's still a great game despite not being the best of the 3. You could play it first and then experience the others in both quality and chronological order.
The whole Grand Theft Auto series is fantastic. I've played them all and enjoyed every single one. It's probably my favorite series of all time. You can find GTA3, GTA4, GTA5, Vice City, Liberty City Stories & Vice City Stories all on PSN. San Andreas was removed because a remastered release is coming out soon. I promise, you'll enjoy them all!
I bought the Prince of Persia HD Trilogy and Splinter Cell HD Trilogy online and don't regret them. They are originally PS2 games, but the remakes are fantastic. They're pretty cheap so I recommend playing through them if you want. Ico HD, Shadow of the Colossus HD are also some really good remakes.
I did not personally enjoy Watch Dogs, Deadpool or Dante's Inferno. I really wouldn't recommend them. I've played most WWE games, and while I haven't tried WWE 2K15, most people agree that it's inferior to 2K14, since it's just a butchered version of the PS4 release. If you enjoy it good for you, but I won't be playing it until I get a PS4.
Let's see, what else... I've never played the Metal Gear Solid games, but I've always wanted to. Those sound like great games if you have the time. God of War Saga is a collection of 5 great games. I haven't played the 6th installment yet, but it's on my list as well.
Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire are some great games to check out as well. I also personally enjoyed The Amazing Spider-Man, Prince of Persia and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, but they've all gotten lukewarm reviews. It really depends on taste.
I got a date with someone who I never dreamed would date me. Very happy about that.
The only thing that would make me happier is Metal Gear Solid 4
EDIT: a word
It must be some super special edition, its more expensive than the regular edition...
http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Gear-Solid-Patriots-Playstation-3/dp/B000FQ2D5E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=videogames&amp;qid=1278311360&amp;sr=8-1
Well, this game here is my favorite. I love the series, and I loved this game.^eventhoughalotofpeopledidn't
And this game would be my least favorite. Not because of the story or anything. It just scares me to death when I play it.
As to why I would want a copy of Assassin's Creed - well, I have the third one. But I feel like it would make a lot more sense if I played one and two first :3
You can buy a brand new Xbox360 disc for $15.
Have you played Final Fantasy XIII? The progression is more linear than previous games, but the story is fantastic. If you want to play it on PC, Steam has it for $16. It will be even cheaper in a couple days.

That makes no difference.
As for the PS3 version of Half-life 2.
Exceedingly affordable? I mean, if you wanted all those games it's a good deal. But I wouldn't even try Half-Life or TF2 if I had them. So it's not much of a steal.
At a measly $10, maybe I'll just suck it up and get it on Steam.
Ehh i'm gonna pass, but if you're set on getting one, check out Amazon

Someone has copies for sale on Amazon. It's a little bit expensive, but it is possible to get a copy of you want one.
Nope...Link
https://www.amazon.com/NIER-Playstation-3/dp/B002BRYIJY?th=1
(aside from what's already been mentioned) NIER reminded me a lot, gameplay wise, of Zelda games and it was an extremely enjoyable play! It's post-apocalyptic so it's a little on the dark side but many enemies and dungeons remind me of Twilight Princess. NIER also features some of the best music I've heard in a game, very on-par with the Zelda or Final Fantasy franchise.
I highly recommend picking it up.
The ps3 version is on sale a lot so I bought that for $25 and did the upgrade to the Ps4 version for free. You need to register the game on a Ps3(either yours or a friends) in order to do the upgrade. It's been as low as $10. You also get a free month of play to try it out. That helps subsidize the costs.
Sony store is $25 right now
Amazon is $25 right now if you like physical copies

Battlefield 3 (Oct 25th) FTFY!
I've linked them to Amazon so that you can see they're all under $10 including shipping.
Shaun White Snowboarding - $4+ Open world snowboarding game. Pretty fun if you have the itch to ski or snowboard and winter is not here yet. Fun to play around the fall when you're really excited to start snowboarding for the season. I know the game isn't all that great, but hey, it's an open world game. You can do whatever.
Mortal Kombat - $10+ - Awesome side by side fighting game. You know it. Fun party game if you have more than 1 controller.
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe - $8+ - Mortal Kombat characters vs DC Superheroes. This isn't like regular Mortal Kombat. You can move your character in a circle, instead of just left and right. It looks kind of like summo wrestling, like how the players can circle each other. There are also moments where the map changes, and the characters fall from one map to another, and your characters fight while free falling. It is pretty sick if you're a fan of the Mortal Kombat games.
Battlefield 3 - $6 - A Shooter. Has amazing graphics and sound effects, much better than CoD. Has a lot more weapons and customization. There are vehicles! Jets, helicopters, tanks, jeeps, motorcycles, even buggies with turrets. The maps are huge! Awesome game. I've clocked a lot of hours on PS3 playing this game. Got a few more hours also playing on PC.
That's all I got for now. I'll be back if I can think of more. I don't have a lot of PS3 games, even less when you're looking for $10 or under, but these games are still awesome! They provided many many hours of enjoyment.
... for the most part, these games are used so they are priced accordingly - $23 for UC3 on Amazon, $30 for BF3.
pricecharting lists them as about equal, used.
Ebay completed listings have BF3 about $3 more on average for used copies.
Saints Row 3 is around $15 unless you are talking about the Pull Package edition. Then thats a different story.
Battlefield 3 is a bit below $15
Resident Evil 6 also $15
Then of course Modern Warefare 2 is just a few bucks.
Hehe, no worries. Just making sure you didn't mean this: http://www.amazon.com/God-War-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B002NN7AKU
It's stupid that those 2 GoW games are still exclusive to PS+. I don't understand what point there is in keeping it that way, especially since each game is priced higher than the collection. You missed last week's sale where the two games were $10 together.

It seems like the voucher in the GoW Saga expired on March 31, so that means you won't get the Origins games unless you call Sony and have the receipt.

Honestly, I do not know how you can not find the game somewhere. :) If you live in the nordic region (denmark, norway, sweden) I know even more. All those I listed, is stores that I've used and trust.
Found this here. I'm really, really hoping I'm reading it wrong.
Skyrim used on ammy ~$35

Do you own any of the Supernatural seasons yet? If not, the first season is $22, for instance. You should buy your favorite seasons!
As far as video games are concerned, I'd recommend buying Uncharted 2, the new Tomb Raider, and Heavy Rain. These games are all super pretty and fun in very different ways.
>So like right now, with no sale going on, Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite on 360 (just picking the two biggest games so far this year) are $37 and $40 on amazon respectively.
http://www.amazon.com/BioShock-Infinite-Xbox-360/dp/B003O6EB70/
http://www.amazon.com/Tomb-Raider-Playstation-3/dp/B004FS8LYK/
Those are both "on sale", notice the list price crossed out and replaced with a sale price? That's the normal price which will drop as the game price drops. Go check out skyrim on amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim-Xbox-360/dp/B004HYK956/
List price is now down at $30.
>Are they going to be cheaper on Steam Summer Sale? Probably, but they are not $60.
They have already been cheaper to obtain on pc than the "are $37 and $40" prices you've listed.
>No offense, but just the fact you're in Australia makes you the odd case out, because Australia's prices (which I'm sure you know and I sympathize with you) are all kinds of fucked.
No, you're wrong. /u/NyranK specified Tomb Raider.
Okay, so it gets a little better when you buy the most inferior version of the game on console.
Oh, look at this:
Tomb Raider - PC (Amazon download): $3.99
Tomb Raider - Steam: $3.99
Sorry, no, NyranK isn't the odd one out, this is the deal even in the US. The price difference isn't quite as extreme, but you can't seriously be saying a $25 to $30+ price difference is insignificant?
Is this the same game as this? http://www.amazon.com/Tomb-Raider-Playstation-3/dp/B004FS8LYK
Oh of course, that's why I've always stuck to the PC. I prefer PC gaming because:
All other arguments for PC gaming such as generally lower price of games are entirely subjective. The infographic in this post shows the price of PC games as $40 and the price of PS3/360 games as $60. This completely disregards PC gamers who buy all AAA PC games on release day for $60 (e.g: Company of Heroes 2 is $59.99 on steam right now) and console gamers who wait a few months after release and buy the games for less (e.g: Tomb Raider for PS3 is $39 at Amazon right now).
Tomb Raider: http://www.amazon.com/Tomb-Raider-Playstation-3/dp/B004FS8LYK/
$24.99 on steam (50%).
$17.49 on amazon (56%), with "gooncave" code $14.87.
Mmmmm this contest makes me drool a little. I love video games.
I would love Beyond Two Souls for the PS3. It looks beautiful and my friends have loved it and have made me reeeeeally want to play it!
For the Xbox360 I would love Borderlands 2 Game of the Year because my SO and I love playing Borderlands together and while we have played 2 we really want to play the all of the DLC together. :3 For valentines day I even altered nerf guns to look like guns from Borderlands.
For the DS I would love Tingles Rosy Rupeeland because I am crazy about Zelda and this game totally cracks me up as a spin off. :P
As for a card game I would love Cthulhu Fluxx because my friends and I have game nights and a couple of them have Fluxx so we are trying to get a bunch of different versions of Fluxx.
Wildcard- Gamecube, Metroid Prime 2 because I have the rest of the series, but still need #2 O.O Definitely go for a used one though. XD
Pretty much anything is fine used by me!
Thanks so much for this contest! I had a lot of fun kind of going through everything.
My favorite game is... Zelda Ocarina of Time because it was one of my early games and that and Majora's Mask got me hooked onto the video game world.
Not a sequel that I know of, but they just released a new game in the same styling and I SOOOOOOOO want to play it! It has Ellen Page and Willem Defoe as characters!
I'm spending some much needed quality time with my fiance. :) He's been in way down south working at an internship so it's nice to see him. <3
1.21 Gigawatts and awesome first contest!! Honestly I would like a $50 gift card if possible to put toward the Beyond: Two Souls game on PS3!
If you have a PS3 or 360, they just came out with this.

For clarification:
Valve has allowed people to make an HD version of VALVE's game without suing and is allowing them to give it to the public, free of charge.
Most developers these days make the HD remakes themselves and charge you for it.
Examples:
Devil May Cry HD
Silent Hill HD
There are differences between BM:S and HL, obviously, but the basics are there.
Try to copy any Call of Duty to the extent that BM:S did with HL and Activision will have the project shut down immediately.
When I bought the PS3 greatest hits edition I had the game, or were able to easily download it and play it. It's really cheap too so definitely worth the buy if you really like the game for the original.
Heavy Rain: Director's Cut PS3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005YR308S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OTEJybVJQD5X4
Nada yet. If you go to the product page there's a link about in the middle of the page where they have a "would you like to:" and tell us about a lower price is one of the options.
http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Rain-Directors-Playstation-sony-playstation3/dp/B005YR308S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1381434125&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=heavy+rain+directors+cut
Maybe if more people do it they'll match.
Yay!
I'd like Heavy Rain, or anything you pick out from my WL. Thanks!
I am an Eggplant Wizard and I approve this message.
I've been a huge fan of the Fallout series. I have Fallout 3 and New Vegas and I absolutely love the environment and backstory. I have a huge nerdboner for apocalypse porn. (Related: I started playing The Last Of Us after nerdgasming over the videos ... yeah. I'm gonna like this one.)
I have heard wonderful things about Heavy Rain and I'd love to play it. I love games that aren't just 'go here, shoot this' -- I want my actions to matter and mean something in the game.

You bet!
Here's the games on Amazon, super cheap. My other recommendation is to get everything with it (GOTY Editions, clearly). You can get days worth of a game from that. Two thumbs from this guy. I even still have yet to touch DLC for F:NV.
Fallout 3
New Vegas
Welcome back!
Here's my list of suggestions, why, and links to where to get them. A few are only available on computer, but you'll see which ones:
As for if you should give 1 or 2 gifts, I think 2 might be a lot of fun! But it might depend on what the "1st place" person has on their list and what you want to give them! I'd say make the decision based off of what you want to give the main winner! =)
===========
EDIT - 3DS Games to consider:
edit 2: P.S: I'm new. I'll be making an intro post hopefully tonight! So hopefully it's alright that I posted here first. I was just excited, as I'm a gamer and love helping people with what to play next. In any event... HI!!
edit 3: I just made my [INTRO] post. It's here if you/anyone's interested.
Does it? Seems fair looking at amazon prices

I only found this:
https://www.amazon.com/Disgaea-Triple-Play-Collection-PlayStation-3/dp/B011L4CFB0
Didn't find a double pack. Also the above doesn't include any DLC.
It is still available for $29.99 by Amazon but OOS.
Check other sellers here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B011L4CFB0/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=all
Just to note, assuming you mean this triple pack, the collection consists of Disgaea 3, Disgaea 4, and Disgaea D2. Most of the Disgaea games are separate and self-contained with a few references and cameos by characters from other games, but D2 is a true sequel to the original Disgaea. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of that.
That being said, the Triple Pack is a great deal. It really comes down to whether the portability and DLC matter to you. If you plan on getting all of the DLC on the PS3 versions, you'll spend quite a pretty penny, while all of this DLC and a few minor additions come with the Vita versions. I just looked at the PSN page for Disgaea 3 and the complete DLC set costs $50. Of course, most of that DLC is just extra characters, but several of them have their own few battles worth of a story added as well.
Even without the DLC, all of the Disgaea games offer almost limitless playability because of the insanely high level caps, upgrading weapons though Item World, and New Game Plus.
It's mostly depending upon whether or not you care about the portability of the Vita versions and whether all of the DLC characters are worth it in your opinion. I love the fact that I can carry it around and battle as I'm waiting around somewhere, while also retaining the ability to play it on my TV when I get home with my PSTV.
EDIT: Just looked at the D2 and Disgaea 4 DLC. The D2 DLC totals around $60, and I didn't even want to count how much the Disgaea 4 DLC added up to. It was likely well over $75.
>I don't have a console or a portable system, but I'd probably buy one for a more refined version of this, are the mobile ones good?
You probably get the most gameplay for your money if you get a used PS3 for ~100$/€ and the Disgaea Triple Pack (Disgaea 3+5+d2d) for ~35$/€.
Though, with a bit of luck, it may very well be possible that the other Disgaea games will also be ported to the PC.
If you buy The Story So Far, you get every game that's not KH3 represented in some way. It's a pretty good value as you get five games, one smaller game/tech demo, and three movies.
If that's too much, just grab 1.5 + 2.5 Collection. This gives you four games and two movies, and contains KH1 and KH2.
If you're not working with a PS4, you'll need to buy 1.5 and 2.5 separately.
If you're really interested, then the best possible way to do so is to get Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ($20 on Amazon) & 2.5 (also $20 on amazon) on the PS3. They're HD ports of the Final Mix versions of the games. Buying those two discs will give you 6 out of 7 Kingdom Hearts games. The last one, Kingdom Hearts 3D, will be coming to the PS4 later this year.
Anyway, let me know if you have any other questions about it or anything. GL HF!
If you have a PS3, you can get the HD remixes!
1.5 and 2.5
I would recommend picking up the 1.5 and 2.5 edition of the games for the PS3 rather than the original. Basically those editions compile the Final Mixes of 1 and 2 and also throw in a few of the side-games that contribute to the lore but weren't originally on the playstation platform. The overall story is difficult to follow unless you really sit down and devote yourself to understanding it. I would highly recommend this series regardless.
There is minor slapstick comedy but it isn't very intrusive. The game handles mainly themes about love and friendship.
Good news! It's available on PS3 with its less popular sequel.
I don't know how to make a link on mobile, but here you go:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00D87TCN8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1464145484&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=SY200_QL40&amp;keywords=tales+of+symphonia&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=61Cl55Chm6L&amp;ref=plSrch
Not sure if you're looking for exclusives/no re-releases but:
Tales of Symphonia/DotNW, Ni No Kuni, and Star Ocean 4 are all $20 or less on Amazon.
> I do have Tales of Symphonia on GC
You've got one of the best in the series right there. That is generally in the top 3 among Tales fans. I would definitely play that one first, and if you like it then try some of the others. Symphonia also received a sequel on the Wii and also a remaster of both games bundled together on the PS3.
https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Symphonia-Chronicles-Playstation-3/dp/B00D87TCN8?th=1
No, there is a physical version too.
That's Bioshock 2, dude.
A) You said both are $7.
B) The only $8.80 price I could find in that list is $13.09 after shipping, so even if you were referring to only the second game exclusively, you'd still be wrong (although I admit it goes as low as $8.89 after shipping if you go used and it comes in a plastic DVD case).
C) The original statement yours is competing with said, and I quote, "I just picked up Bioshock and Bioshock 2 for $7.50 the other day. Granted they've been out for a while, but I couldn't even get one of those games for that price on a PS3 right now. [Italics added for emphasis.]"
The prices you're competing with are $3.75 each, so your original point was irrelevant anyway.
Wow you did it again. It's getting pathetic. That isn't the original version. That's Take Two. The original is $8.80.
Read me this price tag please: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001NIP3EG/ref=mp_bxgy_p_dp_y?qid=1341834082&amp;sr=8-1
I'm going to ask for BF3 for my ps3, I just got a ps3 last week and it seems that I have no money left for games after playing TLOU, my friend has BF3 and I want to play with him, also I spent $60 when it first came out, and to my surprise my computer couldn't run it and I was never able to get a refund

You could just buy the ultimate edition in a store(if you can find it) or online (Amazon and such) for like $15-20. It comes with all of the story content DLCs and apparently(I am unsure of this, according to Amazon Q&As) it includes Gun Runner's Arsenal and Courier's stash, which amounts to $45 if bought seperately on the PSN store I believe. $10 per story DLC, $3 for GRA and $2 for CS. That's all 6 DLCs for the game, plus the full game for less than half just the DLC price.
