(Part 2) Top products from r/PS3

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:

• Metal Gear Solid saga (MGS 1-3 were released on PS1 & PS2, but they've since been rereleased in HD for PS3, alongside MGS 4).
  
  
• Heavy Rain (A very story driven game, where the choices you make can drastically affect the storyline. Plus... boobs.)
  
  
• Beyond Two Souls (Brand new, just came out. Similar to Heavy Rain in its execution -- story driven.)
  
  
• God of War trilogy (Awesome, mature platformer. The first two games were for PS2, but were released in HD alongside GOW3 on PS3. Also has boobs.)
  
  
• Little Big Planet 1 or 2 (A great couch multiplayer side scroller. Lots of fun, more of a kids game... or a game to play with drunk adults.)
  
  
• Infamous 1 & 2 (An interactive comic book. An "open world" platformer that lets you shoot lightning from your hands. Has a cool element where you can choose to be good or evil.)
  
  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.).
  
  
• Oh, did I mention the PS3's online multiplayer is free?
  
• And if you've got Netflix, you don't need to pay Sony a cent to watch it (unlike a certain other console's "Gold" requirement).
  
  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.

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.

If you want PS+ with it, absolutely. And you should, since PS+ rotates through some of the best games in the PS3's huge back catalog and offers them for free. I've also found it great for games I wouldn't normally risk the money on that I've turned out to love.

Since you get more out of PS+ the longer you have it, if it interests you, now is the time to get it. The free games you will get between now and any possible PS3 price drop will more than cover the difference.

If you're not interested in PS+, then it comes down to whether it's worth it to you personally to wait for a few months to save $50-100.

I would suggest one of these models, depending on which games interest you. Having a 500gb drive is a big advantage to these models, and the other bundle game (Uncharted 3) has a smaller hard drive... and the game is free on PS+ right now.

If you take the plunge, welcome to the PC + Console lifestyle! I think you'll enjoy your broadened horizons as much as I did :)

*Edit: Added GT 5 bundle, which also has Infamous 2!

I've got both and, honestly, I really prefer the Xbox for most things for several reasons.

1. The XBOX media center remote is much more user friendly and comfortable in my hand than the PS3 dvd remote. Since I do a lot of streaming/moving watching this is a big deal for me.
   
   
2. The Xbox interface is much easier to navigate.
   
   
3. The Xbox marketplace is much easier to use than the PSN store.
   
   
4. Installs and updates take much less time on the Xbox and happen much less often. It seems that everytime I power up my pS3 I can expect 5-15 minutes worth of crap to update.
   
   
5. Kinect is way more useful than move. There are several excellent Kinect games plus I use the connect video chat feature on a regular basis to talk to friends.
   
   Things I prefer about the PS3:
   umm....other than the rare exclusive I'm interested in, nothing really off the top of my head.
   EDIT:
   Oh, my kids prefer the PS3 controller. I personally like them both equally well.

Did you like X-COM from 2012? It plays a good bit like it, so if you enjoyed that style gameplay you'd like VC. It also has some visual novel-like parts that are pretty nice, and has a really good cel-shaded art style. It's a great game, especially since you can pick it up for very cheap.

I don't think you could regret getting a PS3™ system right now, you'll have a great catalog of games available and since PS4™ isn't backwards compatible this is the only way you'll enjoy all those amazing games any time soon.

First of all go here and create your account, then get this PS3 - $200 or this PS3 - $279, and this PlayStation®Plus - $49.99/1 Year ($39.99 with Free BestBuy Reward Zone Gamers Club).

PlayStation®Plus gives you:

• PlayStation®Plus Instant Game Collection
  
  
• Discounts up to 75% off
  
  
• Cloud Storage to back-up your Game Saves and access them on any PS3™ system
  
  
• Automatic Software Updates and Game Downloads
  
  
• Exclusive Access to try out new Demos and Beta Trials
  
  
• PS4™ Online Mutiplayer
  
  
• One PlayStation®Plus Membership works across PS4™, PS3™ and PSVita™ systems. Your PSN Account can be activated on up to (2) PS3™ and (2) PSP®/PSVita™ systems.
  
  Check the PlayStation®Plus Instant Game Collection here: North America or Europe. The European PlayStation®Plus is more expensive (around $10 more), while EU gets a better Instant Game Collection, but NA gets much better discounts.
  
  You have to "purchase" (for $0.00) the games to add them to your PlayStation®Plus Instant Game Collection when they're available, you can do it on your PC via SEN Store or on your PS3™ via PSN Store.
  
  The games you purchased for free will remain forever on your Instant Game Collection and you'll be able to re-download them as many times as you want, however you can only access your Instant Game Collection while your PlayStation®Plus Membership is active.
  
  Remember to "purchase" even the ones you're not interested now or the PSVita™ ones, you never know when you'll get your hands on one.
  
  Any content you pay money for, even with PlayStation®Plus Discounts, will be yours forever to keep and access regardless of the state of your PlayStation®Plus Membership. Free Avatars and Themes are also yours to keep and access regardless of the state of your PlayStation®Plus Membership.

PS3 bundles usually only happen with COD and exclusives (inFamous, Killzone, Uncharted, God of War, etc.). There are probably still a lot of Uncharted bundles out there if you know where to look.

Don't bother getting a used console from CraigsList or GameStop. Those are usually the fat models that are superloud and overheat and end up YLOD'd on you after a while. Go for the slim model (not sure about the new slim model that just came out though).

I doubt there will be any price drops on consoles during Black Friday or Christmas though. Retailers make so little profit off of consoles as it is. The games and accessories are where the big profit is, so they'll give you deals on those.

Since your roommate is probably taking all his games with him, here's what I do to get good games for less:

1. If there's a Fry's near you... they will match internet pricing.
   
   
2. Cheapassgamer.com. It's a blog that shows all the weekly deals for gaming in the major stores.
   
   
3. Gamefly.com. They give you good deals on used games with free shipping usually, and no membership is required.
   
   
4. There have been a TON of game bundles out recently: Ratchet & Clank collection, God of War saga, Uncharted two-pack (all DLC included), inFamous bundle, Killzone trilogy coming in October (all DLC included), etc. Save money by getting multiple games for the price of one.
   
   
5. If you need an extra controller, be sure to check out the greatest hits/controller combos. It's a controller and a best-selling PS3 exclusive for $60. Can't beat that. You can get games like Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, God of War, and Ratchet & Clank for free basically.
   
   
6. Last but not least, Playstation Plus. Look up Playstation's Blog to see what you get for free. It's a really good deal for just $18 every three months, or $50 for the year.
   
   P.S. Found a bundle online that gives you a big hard drive and MW3 or Uncharted 3, your choice.

I am going against what everyone else is saying here...
But LBP 1 first. Play the hell out of it, then buy 2.

LBP is 17 dollars. amazon link

LBP 1 might be my favorite game of all time. The music, the levels, the introduction to gameplay... its just amazing.

LBP 2 is still an awesome game, and there is more to it. So it can do everything 1 can do, plus much much more.

I still can not get over how beautiful the levels are in 1. The soundtrack just makes my day.

Eventually you will beat the levels that media molecule made and you will be left with the endless user created levels. With that mindset, LBP 2 will let you play levels created for both 1 and 2. I still don't want you to miss out on the origins.

Link to LBP2 Amazon

Well, Newegg has em for $40 and the last time I checked, Best buy had a bundle of GoW/Uncharted 1+2 with a controller.

Edit: Just got an e-mail from Amazon so here's some third-party controller deals.

Splitfish Dual SFX Evolution Wireless Controller for just $23. I own one and it works pretty good, no dead zones but the button layouts feels awkward. Rapidfire was fun to use, only tried it on Mass Effect 3 though. It feels like a monster when you hold it btw. Here's the video review of it.


HKS Racing Controller for $36.09. This is strictly for racing games and I've never really tried it. HKS Racing Controller Review.


PS3 Eagle Eye Mouse and Keyboard Converter which is $49.88. I know you don't want to shell out too much money but if you want to play the PS3 with a keyboard + mouse, then here ya go. You can also check out the Tactical Assault Commander 3 but I wouldn't recommend it. Eagle Eye PS3 Review. Btw, if you do get the Eagle Eye, expect playing it like this. A better demonstration of Eagle Eye.


Play n Type Wireless Controller with Keypad for $38.03. I seriously don't like this controller, it looks terrible. Just get the official wireless keypad. It's like, what, $21 on Amazon? Here's the review of it, no such video demonstrating the actual typing though.

You can also check the third party controllers in Gamestop or Bestbuy like afterglow but I totally wouldn't recommend it. Like seriously. Shit's so bright even in daylight.

Demon's Souls is pretty cool if you're into the Dark Souls thing. I wanna recommend Vanquish, but I've heard that the 360 release is better. I'd highly recommend you get a remote. With the remote, a PS3 makes a damn fine Blu-Ray player with all the usual streaming services too. Also, the PS3 supports HDMI-CEC so if your TV also supports it, you can turn the TV on with the PS3, turn the PS3 off with the TV, use some of your TV's remote functions on the PS3, etc.

it comes with infamous on 1 disc and infamous 2 on the other. as well as the festival of blood PSN download voucher and all DLC for all the games.
it's really a good value, so gogogo get it :) http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Combo-Pack-Infamous-Dualshock-PlayStation/dp/B009716KIY
or if you want other retailers: http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/ultimate-combo-packs/

From what I researched online this is the biggest drive you can get that will fit fat or slim. They do have faster models though that cost more. Sounded like they would cause your PS3 to over heat if you went with the quicker drives.

Here's what I just purchased last week from amazon. Working great so far for me.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0053YLTBC/ref=pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1

I would suggest this. Bigger HDD+ Uncharted 3, costs 300 plus warranty if you plan on getting that. I would suggest buying used games from Amazon with the description "like new". I have bought a couple a things 40-50% off used off Amazon and they work great and looked new.

Amazon has the base system for $249 with free shipping. I'm in a 6% sales tax state so for me, that would save $15 versus buying it locally at Wal Mart or somewhere like that.

I'm not sure about which console's games are bigger, but you can change the PS3's hard drive yourself. All you need is a screwdriver and a 2.5" laptop hard drive.

As for recommendations:

1. http://www.reddit.com/r/PS3/comments/1btct9/rps3_recommended_games_thread_2013/
   
2. Check out the "Game Subreddits (Exclusives)" section of the sidebar.
   
3. Look at the picture tiles at the very bottom of this page.
   
   As for PS3 deals, just check out PS3 bundles on Amazon. This is my suggestion: $250 for 250GB, Uncharted 3, a year of PS+, and free shipping.
   
   If you want a second controller, check out the Playstation combo packs. It comes with a specially colored controller and an exclusive game. I would go for this one: $57 for an electric blue controller, inFamous 1/2/FoB, and free shipping.

I've been using the SC-1 for a while now, and it's actually pretty good. It SIXAXIS, so just know about that, and since it's got the 360 layout make sure that if your game uses the triggers a lot that you can rebind L1 and R1 to L2 and R2.

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.

Is the fan working? Anyways, you could always buy a new ps3 and this to go with it. Good luck.

Recently I got the inFamous Collection on Amazon, and it came bundled with a blue DualShock 3, the price was $50 so it was a pretty good deal.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B009716KIY/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=1398558910&sr=8-3

How about the WD Blue ones? Or do they all have this auto-park issue? This one seems to work well with the PS3: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037NYQ6Q/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For charging controllers, I just purchased one of these. I look snazzy and holds the controllers as well instead of having them flopping all over my entertainment center. My only concern now is can I leave one on the charger plugged in even after it's fully charged without causing harm to the battery. :D Actually just answered my own question by reading one of the reviews where they state that the current shuts off when the charge is complete. Yay! :D

There's a good deal going on at Amazon right now. 300 dollars with a 50 dollar amazon credit (which you can use for an extra controller)

http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-160-GB/dp/B003VUO6H4

Yes, but you'll also want to get the media remote to have better control over playback.

Here is the exact one I installed in mine. 500gb and it works perfectly fine.

Some retailers may choose to price drop bundles, like the slim models before the super slim. And to add, amazon is selling the uncharted3 and ps+ 320gb slim for $250, here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0050SXNHO/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/182-2047757-8275634

I grabbed one of these and have been very pleased. Not very expensive and looks slick as snot next to my entertainment center.

Buy a HDD from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037NYQ6Q/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought this one a few months ago and it works like a charm.

Ditto. I just put a Western Digital 750gb in mine a month or so ago.

OP, here's a WD 500GB for near the same price.

Or a 750GB for only $10 more.

As long as the ps3 doesn't sound like an airplane and actually works Id say somewhere around $150 is a good deal. Although id probably just save up for a new one, if you're in the US you can get a 500gb ps3 bundle for $280 on amazon or $270 on gamestop. There is also a cheaper 500gb console on gamestop.

I just ordered this one today. It has good reviews. I will repost when it arrives if you like.

Pick up a product like Eagle Eye

I have heard good things about them

I have this one for a few years now and it still works great:

http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Energizer-Power-Charging-System-3/dp/B001H4NMNA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1452616949&sr=8-7&keywords=ps3+charger

This is the one I got. It works great for me.

https://www.amazon.com/SC-1-Wireless-Sports-Controller-PlayStation-3/dp/B00B15EXJC

Reviews look okish but, idk people complain about it too but, then again i've never seen a 3rd party controller that people say is as good or superior all around maybe people are just picky?

Does sony even make new dualshock 3 controllers

If it's the super slim you'll probably need a HDD mount thingy since it doesn't come with one by default (you're not replacing a HDD, the 12gb is flash memory).

Currently running 60-80, here are some examples:

Blue controller/Infamous Pack

Red controller/God of War Pack

Camo controller/Killzone 3

Camo controller looks badass, but I already have KZ3 or I would buy it :)

Quick Amazon search came up with: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009DL2TBA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1454137346&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=ps3&dpPl=1&dpID=41pHW4%2BW0rL&ref=plSrch

They definitely still sell them new

I've had this one in my Slim since about June last year:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0053YLTBC/

Not sure where you're located, but maybe look up that model with the stores you regularly use? I know a lot of people on the official PS3 EU forums use the same model. They recommended it to me in the first place. ;)

Triangle should bring up a list of options on the screen. Use the left joystick to toggle among the options. Use X to select.

So toggle over the "play" icon and hit X to play.

Alternately, if you plan on watching a lot of movies, buy one of these:

https://smile.amazon.com/Sony-PlayStation-3-Blu-ray-Disc-Remote/dp/B000M17AVO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1466716661&sr=8-3&keywords=ps3+remote

the bracket is $7 delivered. Right now the 12GB model is the way to go, since it can be had with a game for $170 delivered from amazon. a 500GB bundle is $250. You can get a 500GB drive for $45 delivered easily. adding a $7 bracket still leaves you below the $80 price difference. I suppose if you prefer the games that come with the 500GB (Batman 3: Beyond Gotham & The Sly Collection Bundle) that might make enough of a difference to get the 500GB. But the 500GB will not run without a hard drive, whereas the 12GB will. Something else to consider.

the ultimate combo packs on Amazon are a good deal if you don't already own the games.

I'm looking at buying a 12GB PS3 because I have a 750GB laptop drive I was going to put in there. I didn't realize it didn't have a drive bracket. So I need to also get something like this?

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

Find a copy of the orange box and play portal and half life 2

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.

Well you can shell out $60 and use this.

If Amazon is anything to go by then you can sell it from £150 onwards since it's in near-new condition.

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.

I'd say go for it; I just bought a PS3 a couple days ago, because I don't plan on getting a PS4 until I graduate college, and as Ephaxx said, it's not backwards compatible.

As for model, I bought this one; I was mostly attracted to the price, since the same amount gets a less roomy hard drive and no game.

I haven't had any problems with it so far. Compared to the 60GB launch model I was previously using that was crawling to its death, it's fantastic. I've never been a PC gamer, though, so I can't provide any comparisons there.

http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Momentus-5400RPM-Internal-ST9500325AS-Bare/dp/B001R4BBL0

Here's a decent option for a hard drive upgrade around 60 bucks. (I used this in my slim model. I would check around to make sure it'll work in your fat model, but I think it should.)

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.

Damn those are really expensive, and rare to find. i think i just gotta get Gioteck SC1
thanks

Here it is. I bought it off of Amazon.com, not Newegg. Sorry.
