  • With the reveal of PlayStation Plus aka "Spartacus," it has become clear that the future for PlayStation's backwards compatibility solution lies mostly in the cloud. After attempting to teardown PSN on both the PS3 and Vita, I decided to spring to action before prices really jump up. Here's what I have picked up so far for my PlayStation 3 in 2022.

    I picked up a PS3 today. Got a pretty good price on a bundle and now I'm hunting specific games for my collection. I think the PS3 is super fun and compared to many other "retro" systems, fairly cheap to collect for. I think you are right, there is no time to waste if you want to collect for PS3....do it now! Great video!

      Hi I often buy games for ps3 from CEX some of them cost like 2,3 £less than a coffee. Bought the console for 80£ and spend for now around 200£ for more then 40+ games ...I have PS4 and 2 Nintendo Switches.The games of PS4 and Switch are a lot more expensive however it is worthy to buy PS4 games because you can play almost all on PS5 in the future.

      I can't believe we've hit a point where the PS3 is considered "retro". I remember getting it back in middle school and thinking that the graphics were so realistic, they couldn't possibly get better. My dad walked in and saw me playing one of the Madden titles one day and said that he thought I was watching an actual NFL game.

      The Ps3 era of games is in a perfect spot right now, they are cheapeast as they are not as retory as the ps1-2 era but also not as modern as ps4-5 games and a lot of them are still available at the network, but we have already seen spikes in prices for those that are being removed and once that are niche and rare, so yeah these next couple of years are your best chance to snag games at the cheapest price, cause most will def spike in price soon enough, particullary the niche games, if you spot any cheap, snag em up if you can.

    PS3 is the one system I collect physical for and might be my personal favorite system (though I am loving the Switch due to its portability). Just picked up Twisted Metal, Starhawk and the first Dishonored which you mentioned as a personal favorite and I’ve never played it. Looking forward to it.
    Also got the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus collection (even though I own them digitally) and bought the 2008 Prince of Persia which I feel people often shit on, but I really liked. Certainly not the best in the series, and would’ve liked a different voice actor for our main protagonist on that one, but really fun to breeze through.

    The beauty of the PS3 is that those games hold up so well being in HD on Bluray. I refuse to pay for any video game streaming service and I require ownership of my games. All it takes is for one day the provider to say they are pulling the plug and boom no more access. Hell with that! Owning it outright is the ONLY way to go imho! I have added almost 50 days in 2 weeks and I really hope that you make some more PS3 pickup videos! I'll take all the advice I can get on the "what to get ASAP" front!

    I've been behind the times for years now but it's been to my benefit. The most "Modern" system I bought was the Wii U right as the Switch came out. For Sony I never went past the PS3. So for the whole PS4/Switch and now PS5/Xbox Planks Constant Infinity plus 1 or whatever it's called era I've just been collecting PS3 and Wii U games (if I want anything current I use Steam but it's only a small handful of games) almost exclusively.
    I ran out of shelf space and have games on my floor in a corner stacked on top of each other taller than I am. Until like two years ago saying they were dirt cheap was an understatement. I'll put it this way I bought my PS3 when the PS4 came out. I walked into a Gamestop in my town's Mall. Got a 500 gig Super Slim (that still works flawlessly) with two controllers, all 3 Batman games and all 5 God of War games (all the games CIB) for $100. I'll never forget one day at a retro store I bought three games for a total of $15. Those games were: 3D Dot Game Heroes (an Atlus game mind you), Puppeteer and Folklore. The fact that a Square Enix game like Drakengard 3 can be found sealed for $20 is a testament to the quality games you can still get on the cheap that no one cares about currently but will in the very near future due to the streaming/all digital crap. Get the things now!
    If you don't already have these some suggestions:
    1.) Alice Madness Returns as for the moment with the PS3 copy you can download the first game American McGee's Alice for free.
    2.) Persona 5. Most people forget it was originally made for the PS3 and they just ported it over to the PS4 so that version maybe worth something in the future as I'm sure it sold less than it's PS4 counter part.
    3.) Transformers: Devastation! Activision and Platinum Games bringing the 80s cartoon to life!

    Started on PS3 (a console I completely skipped at the time) around October/November 2021 and am really glad I did... I have most of what I want (~70 games) and many were steals at $5-10ea. Just secured the last of the HD trilogy collections (those were a bit more at ~$20ea) but the console itself I got for free in trade. Needed a new HDMI port that I was able to repair myself.

Because so many were only 20 new by then. Love my PS3 and collection. Was lucky enough to get two brand new PS3’s two different times when Walmart just wanted to get rid of them. Had great software. A lot of games came out at the end with the full collections on one disc. Borderlands. Which I sickly own on everything. This was great video. Really glad got back into gaming when I did. It’s crazy how lock down effected the market.

    Before you criticize Edge of Time in its own video, I feel it’s important to bring up that; after the critically acclaimed success of Web of Shadows, the game devs were given only a single year (basically less) to create a sequel, which ended up being Edge of Time. Although the game itself is pretty small, and has its problems- I recognize that because the devs had so little time to make it, they made the smart choice for lowering the scale of their game, rather than trying to make a bigger, flashier sequel that would have most definitely flopped.

    Some more to add to your PS3 collection, Metal Gear Solid The Legacy Collection, comes with a nice hardback book about the game series, a code for Metal Gear Solid (PS1) a HD remaster of Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 and 3 gives access to the MSX versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake (Kojima Versions). Metal Gear Solid IV Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid Peacewalker. This is exclusive to PS3 because MGS4 is a Blu Ray game and never released for XBOX-360, soon to be a rare collectible if not already.

    Good call. PS3 was my first "new" console after being mainly a PC gamer. Most exclusives imo. I never played it much, but I've been building my collection for a while. We're ending the sweet spot, between when they're still "new-ish" in people's minds and when they starting going into the collector market. Games are ticking up in price. If you find a decent one under $20 consider yourself lucky. Ironically, 360 and Xbox one are still quite affordable and so are some ps4. That's not gonna last.

    The 7th gen (360, PS3 & Wii) is the best gen of gaming, in my opinion. It was the gen that we still had a lot of creative, great games. Being released complete on disc (and download for those that wanted). And games weren't released half assed like 95% of games now. So gamer friendly...We could play solo, co-op, local multiplayer, online. Games played soon as you pop it in. Paywalls were rare. Microtransactions not nearly as much of an issue. Didn't need constant huge updates. Games with manuals. A lot of the games still look pretty good. Glad I still have and play my 360, Wii and PS3. Been adding games to the collection lately.
