Atari 5200 Guy

And this guy…

…is allowing me to capture game play from SuperNES.  I’m trying to do more YouTube videos again.

Im excited!

My game room got an upgrade.

I’ll be spending most of my time in here now that my wife has passed away.  What do you guys think?

Gran Turismo is the sole reason I jumped on the PlayStation wagon a long time ago.  It’s why I wanted a PS3.
I prefer physical games over digital and the PS Store offerings are slim now.  I forgot I had purchased Pac-Man CE DX, Sonic Adventure, and Spyro on my first PS3 over a decade ago.  They were still there waiting for me to download them again.
I grabbed more games and used up the rest of my credits.  You guys guided me to some titles while I found a few I had been after on any console. 
 
Once they arrive I will do another unboxing video.  But please keep listing titles.  I’m interested in hearing what games others like.

If you're buying digital, I'd recommend thinking about getting something that's much cheaper than the physical version. As already recommended, 3D Dot Game Heroes is a good choice and I'd also add Puppeteer. Physical prices have gone up a bit on those. I believe both are PS3 exclusives.
Games by Vanillaware should also be considered (Dragon's Crown).
I like to focus on platform exclusives when looking for games to add: Heavenly Sword, ICO & Shadow of the Colossus collection, 
PS3 has a lot of great series that are probably essentials to any PS3 collection: God of War, Gran Turismo, inFamous, Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, MLB The Show, MotorStorm, Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, Uncharted.
I bought my PS3 specifically to play Uncharted, and playing that series alone made it a worthwhile purchase for me.

Dragon's Crown is easily in one of my top 5 for the Playstation in general. I didn't include it because there is the superior remake/release for it on the PS4. 
 
@socrates63 I actually do own Puppeteer but have yet to play it. Although I'm pretty sure my oldest son played through the game once. Is it a really cool game?

You just got a PS3 and you have some store credit left.  What games would you pick? Top 10.  And…GO!

Never mind. I found it.

Thanks to Epic Games my library of PC games is over 300. I have claimed every free game they’ve offered weekly and during their 12 days of Christmas giveaways.  I don’t even play those much let alone check them out. I have them just to have should I ever get that urge to try something different. I mostly play Steam games and I’ve picked up a few dozen titles at GOG when they go on sale but mostly for those old DOS games.
I spend most of my modern gaming time on modern game consoles instead of computers. Since getting a PlayStation 5, a Switch, and now a PS3…and I have another surprise console coming…I’m enjoying exploring the modern offerings.  Plus I’ve had ModNation Racers since before COVID and no way to play it. I use to have fun designing tracks on the demo I had of the game so I’m really looking forward to that one now that I can play it.
I also picked up GT5 for PS3, GT7 for PS5 (that one blew my mind), and Mario Kart 8 for the Switch.  I also picked up F-Zero 99 to enjoy.  So I have plenty of modern gaming options.

Quick question: can PS3 play online at all?

Since having these modern consoles I’m on the lookout for new friends.
I go by kamakazi20012 across all consoles.  I don’t know how to find/add friends on Switch yet.  
 
I can be found on XBOX, PSN, Nintendo Switch Online, Steam and Epic.
On Switch my profile picture is Yoshi and just says kamakazi.
On PSN my icon is an 8-bit space ship much like that in Galaga and I go by kamakazi20012 there.
On Xbox look for kamakazi20012. 
 
I’ll accept any invites from members here. Just let me know it’s you sending them because I get invites often from people I don’t know.

I had a PS3 before I had a 360.  Even though I have more history and experience with the 360 I honestly prefer the PS3. It seems to be a more capable console.
I personally like the fact I don’t need batteries for the controllers.  And Xbox 360 controllers gobble those up.  We have rechargeable batteries for our 360 controllers and I’m changing those daily if I do any heavy gaming. I have also had 360 controllers wear out after a few months of use.
Over the years it was in production the 360 dashboard got lots of updates. The last update seemed to slow the system down somehow and it now has a habit of popping up a message saying you have been playing for hours when the system has just been turned on and a game started.  It’s annoying and they won’t fix it.
The main decision you would have to make boils down to exclusive titles.  Halo, Forza, Gears of War can only be played on the 360 while Gran Turismo, Jak & Daxter, and God of War are on PlayStation.  It really boils down to what games you have that are not on the other you would want to spend time on.
Other factors to consider: Xbox is slowly removing 360 games from the Marketplace and have removed Indie games completely.  While they have kept some games there it’s only about a quarter of what use to be there. I’ve noticed the same with the PS3 Store since the last time I send it over 10 years ago but it has more offerings. 

New addition!
 

It works.

It works.

My replacement Berzerk came today.  Let’s see if it works.
