Deal North: Cheap PS3 RPGs

Deal North: Cheap PS3 RPGs photo

RPGs are my thing, and there's a lot of good ones out there for the PlayStation 3. Now, paying $60 is not my thing. Back in the day, I used to drop the cash required for a new RPG on release date, every time. Then I'd let the game(s) gather dust while I struggled to finish the ones I bought earlier. Experience has taught me to wait until they go on sale or become a Greatest Hits selection. I wish I could have told the old me about all of this.

Hopefully you didn't take as long to learn this role-playing game lesson as I did. If you already follow this method, here are some good sale prices/Greatest Hits on PS3 RPGs at Amazon.com. A quick Amazon search should bring up all of the following titles. You'll find that the sale titles are from 20 to almost 50 percent off.

  • Demon's Souls Greatest Hits for $29.96
  • Resonance of Fate for $39.74
  • Disgaea 3 for $21.48
  • Cross Edge for $27.49
  • Final Fantasy XIII for $33.32
  • Eternal Sonata for $20.51
  • Valkyria Chronicles for $29.20
  • White Knight Chronicles International for $39.80

Don't fall into that RPG buying trap with these good prices! Pace yourself.

$29 for Valkyria. Fuck that's a good price. If you can even find that game on a shelf anywhere it's almost always still priced at full pop.

Man... I bought all those games on day 1 and to this date I've only beaten Demon's Souls, Disgaea 3, White Knight Chronicles, and Cross Edge. Hell FFXIII is still shrink wrapped.

I've picked up Valkyria and MGS4 for $20 at GameStop Online. I can't remember if it was a deal day or not.

Valkyria WAS 20 at Gamestop at some point.

WKC is only $18 or $20 used at Gamefly, and gamefly discs are in prime condition. Dunno 'bout the rest.

Doesn't White Knight Chronicles 1 come with WKC2? I mean, if you've waited this long, you might as well save some cash and just wait for the sequel, right? Thanks for posting these all the same, though. A great reminder of more stuff I need to buy.

I left so many RPGs unfinished back in the PS1/PS2 era thanks to the massive number of RPGs.

I'm ashamed to say that I've played all main Final Fantasy games from 1 to 13...

And only gotten to the end of 13!

Disgaea 3 was $19.99 on NISA's website for months - I think it's sold out now, though. You got the special edition for that price.

If you have a PS3, then you should have played Valkyria Chronicles. No excuses.

Eternal Sonata was a beautiful game with some frustrating but manageable gameplay mechanics. Definitely worth checking out.

@Lenigod

There are only a handful of RPGs that I like and Eternal Sonata is one of them. It's one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen and thhe gameplay's pretty good too. It even has co-op.

To people interested in Valkyria Chronicles, I'm pretty sure Gamestop has it for 20.00 $. Even when I went there when it wasn't that massive July-early August sale that netted me 5 awesome games for 140.00 $ (GOW III, Valkyria chronicles, Darksiders, Batman, and Assassin's Creed II), VC wasn't even on sale and it was still 20 dollars new. I also really want them to port VC2 and 3 to the PS3, since I've never been a fan of handhelds and even buying a PSP just for VC2 and 3 seems iffy.

Resonance of Fate is HIGHLY underrated and forgotten.

Cross Edge is horrendous, I got rid of it after two days. Really digging Resonance of Fate right now though.

I didn't really get to start playing Playstation 1 or 2 (or Nintendo console "equivalent") RPGs until 2006 so waiting for games to be cheap has been pretty easy for me as I have a ton of catching up to do. :-) Unfortunately, with a few games, I have an even worse problem. They get rare (over $100 for a PS1 game.. ouch!). Ayee.. Atlus please remake both Persona 2 games and Square please put Xenogears on NA PSN.

I follow that method, now you are a wise man too.

I just don't like how I can't order off of Amazon.com. So naturally, living in Canada, I went to Amazon.ca's video game deals and there was nothing... NOTHING!!! The deal's even sold out until sunday at 12am... Hope brought me there even though I knew .com's deals are not the same as .ca's. I shall be waiting for you deals next week at 12am... I mean, we did have Demon's Souls for 29.99 awhile back before it was a greatest hit so I must be patient.

Valkyria is $20 new, $18 used at Gamestop, but it's becoming much harder to find there, even used. Pretty good prices on everything else, but I think White Knight and Resonance of Fate have room to fall further and closer to the $20 mark.

That's the cheapest price new or used I've seen for the PS3 version of Eternal Sonata. The 360 version is the current Amazon DotD for $19.99, and the PS3 version has more content.

Dangit! Now I'm gonna have to put off a new game so I can get Demon's Souls and Resonance of Fate. Maybe not RoF, I'm still debating whether it will be worth it. *Sigh*, Looks like I'm gonna have to wait for either Vanquish or Enslaved, because there is no way in hell I'm waiting for Sengoku Basara

I would only recommend Demon Souls, Disgaea, or Valkyria Chronicles. The others are mostly trash. Unless you are a Final Fantasy apologist.
