So i managed to snag one of the 60gig backward compatible ps3s for 200 bucks. After placing the system on my entertainment center with my Wii and my 360, I finally felt comfortable in labeling myself "A complete videogame-addicted-fucking-loser".
I hooked it up, got myself a nice wallpaper, downloaded 15 or 20 demos to look through, tried to go rent a blu-ray (blockbuster was closed) and marveled in the ability to surf the internet in the most convoluted obnoxious way i have ever experienced.
Then i remembered that this thing can play games too. All right! ...... um...... lets see......all i can really think of from recent memory that sounded good was disgaea 3 and little big planet.
My question is... what games are worth a look at? I haven't heard much other than the supposed AAA titles that ended up being more like FFF.
I assume the first response I get will be something to the effect of.. PUT THIS IN THE FORUMS JACKASS
so i guess i'll throw a review in here.
LOST ODYSSEY I bought this for 20 bucks used expecting a pile of shit jrpg. I'm just into the second disk and so far i am completely blown away by the graphics, combat, story, everything. If you're an old school RPG fan and you haven't gotten this yet because of the somewhat negative reception it got, please go buy it now. I honestly can't think of a gripe with it yet. Its difficult, not a grindfest, and the story is very engrossing. Also, don't skip the 1000 years of dreams when they pop up (text based dreams of the main characters past). It adds a lot more than you would think to the experience.
Also the music is amazing.
So anyways. What PS3 games warrant my attention? Downloadable or retail disks.
Noby Noby Boy, Echochrome, Dark Mist (if you're in Europe or Japan, from what I hear), and maybe even Suikoden as downloads, and there are a TON of retail ones...
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Valkyria Chronicles
Metal Gear Solid 4
Folklore
LittleBigPlanet
Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds
Warhawk
Unreal Tournament 3
Killzone 2 (FRIDAY WOOOO!)
Street Fighter IV
Oblivion
There are a ton more than that, too. It just depends on preference.
-Little Big Planet (Overall fun experience with tons of DLC)
-Resistance 2 (Great online FPS with a unique RPG-style mode)
-SOCOM Confrontation (Solid Online third person shooter, that requires you to think rather than run and gun)
-Unreal Tournament 3 (It's only $14 and it's getting a huge, free update for the PS3)
-Flower (Great downloadable title that deserves to be played)
-Valkyria Chronicles (Hard to find, but an underrated AMAZING Strategy based RPG)
I think those would be your best choices. Personally, I would go with KZ2 or LittleBig, but all of those are great choices. As for Disgaea 3... I played about 20-30 hours and it got really boring. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game. It's just doesn't have that interesting of a story and the humor is okay at times, but nothing to laugh out loud about.
WTF? What would make you think Lost Odyssey was going to be a pile of shit!? Anyways on topic, since you already have a 360, I'll just mention the few ps3 games I own and enjoy since most of my games are already bought on 360 as well. Valkyria Chronicles, MGS4, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Warhawk is good if your into strictly online battlefield clones, You can find Motorstorm pretty cheap and its fun for what it is, And if your an FPS fan there is Resistance 1&2 and Killzone 2 comes out friday. As for PSN games there is a lot of shmups that are very good, Siren Bloodcurse is good if you like survival horror, Flower, noby noby boy, Wipeout HD, Crash Commando, and Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty. There is plenty more on the psn store I didn't mention mostly because I haven't played them.

Noby Noby Boy!
PSN: CelicaCrazed <---- add me.
Games I'd recommend are Burnout Paradise, Warhawk and Uncharted.
Valkyria Chronicles. For reals.
Do what Celica said. Also, if you haven't yet. Make a European PSN and download Killzone 2 demo. Or wait til Friday.
Also, MGS4 if your into the series.
Add me as well, PWNcake
I'm amazed that you found a 60G ps3 for 200 dollars. I'm jealous.
noby noby boy and flower also MGS4
If you like 2D gaming like I do, get the Last Guy. I love it (but it's super hard).
Then there is Noby Noby Boy. You may hate it, but the only way you'll ever know is to buy it.
Then there is Jumping Flash, the PS1 game. It's awesome.
Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. I am really not into the PS3's game library right now. Holding out for that team Ico game...

Here's a list of what I recommend otherwise:
