Title: Just Bought a PS3
Post by: gpw11 on Saturday, December 11, 2010, 05:56:29 PM
For the standard console price of $299.99 CDN, I got a 160gb slim, an extra dual shock, Little Big Planet GOTY, NHL 2011, and Infamous.  I also already have one of those Dual Shock - Greatest Hits bundles with Ratchet and Clank included (I think).  Anything else I need to pickup?  Budget surprises?

Uncharted 2

Awesome, dude.  Add me to your friends list and maybe we could play some Little Big Planet or something else sometime.  My PSN ID is TheOtherBelmont.

iPPi made some great suggestions(especially Demon's Souls).  I can't remember if you like the Metal Gear Solid games or not but you definitely want to play MGS4 if you've played and enjoyed the first three games.

Shit, GoW Collection was one of the games  I could have gotten for free, but I opted for Little Big Planet instead.  I mean, I played through the first two a few times on PS2, is there really anything added besides the graphics updates?

Suggestions taken, and I'll add anyone when I get this bitch set up. 

As for MGS4, I may just watch a Lets Play of it.  Seems like that kind of game.

LBP made me so happy the first time I played it. Dressing that little guy up and putting a huge grin on his face as I ran through levels was just too great for me to handle at times.

Uncharted 2.

My PSN ID is 'coolman0stress' if you want to play LBP sometimes. I can't wait for LBP 2 to come out.

Hit a bit of a snag.  One of my roommates has a high-end Runco wall display but it doesn't seem to have an HDMI input (WTF?).  It is, however, 1080p. I guess we need an HDMI to DVI adaptor or something.  I might not be able to grab one for a few days, but I'm not overly worried about it to be honest.

What is your PSN ID?

GoW collection is nice, but I'd take LBP over it if you've already played GoW.

Folklore is an oft-overlooked favorite of mine, and I still maintain that The Darkness is the best story-driven console shooter ever made.

So, I never added any of you guys because I rarely really played any games at the time (awesome media server/netflix though).  Aaaand then I forgot.  If anyone is interested, add me: G-wizzzle

I STILL haven't really played LBP at all.
