The PS3 library has nowhere to go but up. Prices have been sneaking up under the radar for months. Regardless of what Sony does, don't miss this chance to collect some of these awesome games while they are still relatively cheap.
I only buy games that I like, I would never buy a game just cause is rare , or to say. " I got it ". Ratchet and clank definitely pick it up , play it chronological order so you can appreciate the improvements in graphics gameplay etc , one of my favorites for sure

Appreciate the video thanks❤ just started my PS3 collection last week and was a bit surprised to see I actually have quite a few from your recommendations. Ironically I found a sealed copy of folklore at my local bookman’s for about 25 as well as the full trilogy of FF13 for $15 A few other games I just picked up were Alice madness returns Odin Sphere Leifthrasir Dragons crown Eternal Sonata Dragakenguard 3 Tales of graces F Tales of xillia 1 & 2 Star ocean the last hope Valkyria chronicles Trails of cold steal 1 & 2 Duck tales remastered Resonance of fate
My PS3 collection is seating at 167 physical games, I already own all the games you've mentioned, by the way some are already expensive, even before Sony doing away with PS3 titles, grab them before the prices sky rocket.
hey! just wanted today I discovered your videos just today and they are really good! you mention a lot of games that I now need to check out. haha, keep up the good work man! as a note I think I work at the local game store you mentioned in a few videos, lol
@@NerdCrave oh awesome! you'll love it, I picked it up a few years back its phenomenal! if there is ever any games you are searching for/ want on layaway as well feel free to message me and I can help out :)
Yeah, but they’re about to go back up again. With the 360 shutdown announcement a couple weeks ago, and the WiiU and 3DS news this week, Sony will not be far behind mark my words
@@NerdCrave I'm actually okay with that. I just recently bought over 80 PS3 games in a little under two months on an extremely tight budget. I have about everything I want at this point with the exception of seven vintage games. Now, those will be expensive!
It's funny to see that knowing that's in my country, some of those game are really hard to find (and not always with a big cost, like lollypop chainsaw really hard to find be if we do, we can see him at 20 up to 60€), just cost a little more than other (for exemple I get 3 weeks ago tales of xillia 1 and 2 the two of 'em in day one edition with steelbook for the 2, complete for 30€ shipping included) and some just cost nothing (ratchet tool of destruction cost 5 bucks, red dead game of the year edition or whatever other of the 3 edition are 2 to 5 bucks, shadow of the mordor too ect)
Honestly in most cases, the only benefits to owning physical media, vs digital, or even emulation/piracy is the resale value/speculative market for those games. I’m almost every case, digital works exactly the same, costs less/zero and is way more convenient, but hey, those physical games sure look good on a shelf right?
@@NerdCrave i totally agree with you bro 🙂 by the way this question came out from someone who owns 700 ps3 games.. But i feel going digital with the ps3 library or at least off load the Remastered one's
@@Omario8o since I made this video I’ve sold almost my entire collection. I’ve built an emulation rig with an android phone and a razor kishi controller that handles everything from Atari to Dreamcast and ps1 I have an R4 card for my 3DS, a modded wii with 4tb of games on it, plus a huge collection of digital games on my switch and ps5. The steam deck will be the final piece of the puzzle, giving me access to all of steam, epic, origin, game pass, and emulation
@@NerdCrave Nice.. That's interesting. I think i will go the same as you did.. Any recommendations how i can do these setups or did you do a video explaining how to do that all bro?
I wouldnt suggest getting a PS3 version of a game when there are better versions on the PS4 unless the PS3 version is really rare. Shadow of Mordor on the PS3 was a famously bad port whereas the PS4 version has Pro support and runs well
I’m speaking out of my personal experience as to what I enjoyed playing on the ps3, and at the time of this video I was not collecting for ps4 so I did not have any personal experience with the ps4 port. You’re right of course, the PS4 version is much better
Awesome list! I own almost every game in the list except for PlayStation battleroyale. But if I were you I wouldn’t recommend Shadow of Mordor for ps3, I own a copy of it and I regret buying it. It has a lot of performance issues and frame rate drops which makes the game unplayable in ps3. Other than that I agree with the whole list.
Ive just bought the ratchet and clank ps3 trilogy for like £5 each apart from nexus but even that was only £18 brand new!!! 🤷♂️ so I don't know what you're on about them being expensive
This video is quite old, and at the time, during the scare with the PS3 shop closing most of the ps3 ratchet games were pushing 40$ plus each. Prices have since fallen
I collect ps3 and Wii u games , really enjoyable to collect , my highlights of my ps3 collection are Godzilla, siren blood curse and splatterhouse at the moment , mines a Uk list but I’m sure we follow Canada and U.S with the trends!
Sonic Racing Transformed, as it is nicer than Mario Kart, and an astonishing showcase of the SEGA game music legacy. Katamari Forever, the best Katamari ever. This title alone is worth buying a PS3.
Are you sure your talking about the same tron game? I just completed that game, the controls are horrible and the same repetitive game play, run jump defeat enemies, glad you liked it, but so far it's the worst game in my collection
its hilarious spider man web of shadows is $180 right now, but edge of time is the cheaper one but still both of them are pricey good luck to anyone trying to collect those 2 spider man games you can buy a ps4 spending the money on those 2 games XD
I personally disagree on Captain America and Tron. Cap could've been a good game but it felt way too rushed, I really wished the platforming sections weren't QTEs, but it is way better than the terrible recent Avengers game. I could never get into Tron Evolution for the life of me. I always felt like I was better off playing Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands which came out in the same year.
[CANADIAN BACON] These are already going up into the stratosphere! [SHAO KAHN] Don't make me laugh. Are gamers really this tight fisted? Dude, how long have you been collecting games? You do realize when these games came out that they were sealed, discs were in perfect condition, it had all the paperwork with it (which I can't figure out for the life of me where all this stuff goes to now that people know what complete copies go for, but whatever) but, those copies of games go for $60...... Have you seen the price for: Rule of Rose (PS2), Crusader of Centy (Genesis), Little Samson (NES), ANY SNES RPG, LOTS OF PS1 RPGS, Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn), Popful Mail (CD), Snatcher (CD), heck let's mention The Last of Us: Post Pandemic Edition (PS3), and Extermination (PS3), and nobody seems to know much of anything about it if at all which is LittleBIGPlanet v1.0. It was released and broke the street date and Sony recalled it because the Muslim community was upset there was a track by Toonami Diabates that says a verse out of the Quran they weren't happy and offended about so Sony recalled the game but it was too late because some copies already made it into the wild. So, if you don't update the game, guess what, there it is. It's actually the rarest PS3 game there is, but nobody knows anything about it. But, dude, you don't know what expensive is, those games haven't even exceeded their $59.99 MSRP so, I gotta disagree
My friend I’ve been collecting video games for decades. I’m quite aware of what an expensive game is, and I never ONCE suggested in the video that any of these games were particularly rare or expensive. Only that the current market trends would make them MORE expensive than they WERE

Collectors are a different breed. They have many different reasons for buying a game
@@NerdCravenew collectors is a trash buyers:) true collectors who buy a brand new sealed goods and never open and store safety and carefully after years. Its a little journey and history!
Great recommendations, PS3 definitely has hiked up much more quickly than I expected!
There's definitely another 20 to 30 games I still want to buy, hoping i can get them soon before things get too nuts!
@@NerdCrave Same, I'm looking on the regular right now for the ones I want.
Appreciate the video thanks❤ just started my PS3 collection last week and was a bit surprised to see I actually have quite a few from your recommendations. Ironically I found a sealed copy of folklore at my local bookman’s for about 25 as well as the full trilogy of FF13 for $15
A few other games I just picked up were
Alice madness returns
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
Dragons crown
Eternal Sonata
Dragakenguard 3
Tales of graces F
Tales of xillia 1 & 2
Star ocean the last hope
Valkyria chronicles
Trails of cold steal 1 & 2
Duck tales remastered
Resonance of fate
Great start!
@@NerdCrave
I thought so.. still can’t find a few games I really want though😭 even on eBay I’m not having luck….
Loved this! Great titles in here and that Spider-Man game looks pretty sweet! I should get that!!!
Honestly my favourite superhero game
I got 57 PS3 games still in my possession. Love my PS3
It’s a great system to collect for!

Which store is that?
@@NerdCrave Iceman Video games
Great store! I've got Fire Emblem Path of Radiance on Layaway there right now! Pretty excited
@@NerdCrave oh awesome! you'll love it, I picked it up a few years back its phenomenal!

Great stuff my friend! Always been a PS guy and watch Reggie and Metal all the time as well. Thanks so much!!!
Anytime! There’s lots more! Reggie has been in a few of my videos, he’s a great guy!
Don't watch them they are shelf collectors
I have several of these. Thx for the insight. Now i know what i have.
I like how quite a few of these went even lower in price since this video was originally released. Shadow of Mordor is like $10 sealed right now.
Yeah, but they’re about to go back up again. With the 360 shutdown announcement a couple weeks ago, and the WiiU and 3DS news this week, Sony will not be far behind mark my words

Shadow of Mordor Is horrible on the PS3 and so i'd be shocked if that ever became expensive.
@@OwtDaftUK Oddly enough, I'm playing it now. I've played buggier games, but this release is inexcusable.
I’ve completed tomb raider trilogy all 3 games 100% at its perfection now I’m playing tekken tag ternoment HD on the ps3
Excellent choices! I'm looking to start playing persona 5 on my PS3 soon

Great tip on the book is spells box set, I found someone locally selling it for 10 dollars Australian just have to pay 15 for postage.
There you go! #lifehacks
Whats the difference or advantages between having physical ps3 games or jailbreaking ps3 really?
Honestly in most cases, the only benefits to owning physical media, vs digital, or even emulation/piracy is the resale value/speculative market for those games.

Pretty sure it's donkey Kong music from smash brawl.

Mordor is choppy, but I just loved it anyway
Yeah on PS4 it’s amazing
Also, Yakuza Dead Souls, Asura's Wrath, Fist of the Northstar Ken's Rage, Aquapazza, and the Dynasty Warriors Gundam series have spiked up.
Pretty interested in the Dynasty Warriors Gundam games, I'd better try to pick those up soon

Lollipop chainsaw is getting a Ps5 remake next year. Might drop the price
Almost certainly
i think yakuza dead souls is going up too!!
I've seen that too!

I need to make an update to this video, it’s nearly a year old and things have only gotten crazier
I personally disagree on Captain America and Tron. Cap could've been a good game but it felt way too rushed, I really wished the platforming sections weren't QTEs, but it is way better than the terrible recent Avengers game. I could never get into Tron Evolution for the life of me. I always felt like I was better off playing Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands which came out in the same year.
Fair statement, I personally enjoyed both, but my lifelong love of Tron may make me biased on that one
@@NerdCrave
You ever played the Tron 2.0 FPS game? It seems pretty solid.
What about horror games? Those always increase their price
I didn’t mention those because I don’t buy or play horror personally, but from what i see, you’re right they tend to hold value well
[CANADIAN BACON] These are already going up into the stratosphere!
[SHAO KAHN] Don't make me laugh.

Well 80% of this game is a trash overrated...

80% of his games suck. Why buy them.
The point of the video was not whether the games were good or not, but whether they were relatively cheap, and expected to go up in price.
