Tuesday marked the release of four different PS3 Collections from Sony and if you have yet to buy them, you can check out the full image gallery of the front box art, back box art, insides, and reversible cover.
Could you get rich by investing in PS3 games? Almost definitely not. Can you make a few bucks by flipping PS3 games over the years? Yeah, sure! It wouldn’t even be that difficult. But let’s face it: Once these games are in your collection, you’re probably keeping them forever.
After a game's multiple generations old, and can't be had new at a reasonable price, that's when I see nothing wrong with emulation.
What's the point of paying someone scalper prices when the dev/publisher isn't even benefiting from it?
I paid $30 for SH Downpour on PS3 now it's around $70-$85 Canadian Lolipop Chainsaw I paid $15 and it has really gone up in price. I wonder if Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron will go up in price two of the best Transformers games every made.
In 5 years time all those games will be worth at least $150 to $200 that you listed
Ever since Sony announced that they would shut down PS3 store these prices have skyrocketed and even though Sony backtracked now most gamers realize that it's a matter of time before the PlayStation 3 store is shut down. If you want these games get them while you can even if digital because once that story shut down the physical prices will just go crazy high we saw that already
And many of these games did not sell like crazy amounts so they are limited number of copies available for sale at any given time
Folklore is a game I've always really wanted to play, but I got a PS3 late in the generation, and it was already really expensive to find, being it didn't exactly sell well, therefore was already kind of a collector's item.
Kept hoping I'd find a cheap copy randomly at stores and flea markets, but never happened.
It was available at GameStop for a while for under $20. Don't know har happened but GameStop started to sell their used games based on ebay prices it seems
You can still find it for around $60-70 and which in my opinion is a good price for a game that will be worth double if not triple that in next 5 years
Have you considered modding your PS3? Neither Sony or the dev would be getting money from that Folklore purchase. Kind of a victimless crime at that point.

Honestly, I just want to actually give the experience a try. I'm not someone who would buy it at a premium just to potentially rip someone off down the road.
I mean, there are collectors out there and if paying a couple hundred dollars is worth it to them then more power to them, but I'm not one to be on either end of that exchange.
I know it's taboo, but I might dig in and see the state of PS3 emulation on PC. I have a good PC, so it might be able to power through the often times poor performance, being PS3 is known to be hard to emulate.
I've never emulated anything past the PS2/Dreamcast but, as I said in my first post, I don't see anything wrong with emulation if the game you want to play can only be had used, with no money going to the creators.
Adam BenMoussa: With the spiritual reboot of God of War upon us, we decide its time to take a look at some of Kratos's most impressive feats from his old world. Put on your red war paint, chain up your arms and let out your Spartan battlecry, here are our the most memorable bosses from the God of War trilogy.
Poseidon was not only an incredible fight, it was such an intense opening to a game.
GoW 3 had the most memorable bosses to me.. Maybe not the toughest or anything but definitely memorable..
Decent list. My most memorable encounter was Chronos. I hate they're deviating from the scale the series was synonymous with.
Hercules GoW 3 epic boss battle, the list is to long. Can't wait to see what God of war 4 has to offer.
"The original God of War released whenever I was thirteen years old, which you would think is the perfect age to play a gory, mature, and quite frankly, badass video game. However, I just wasn’t very intrigued by it. I played a couple hours and it just didn’t resonate with me. Maybe it was because I was still deep in the trenches of Resident Evil 4, or maybe I was subconsciously being a Nintendo fanboy — looking for reasons to not like something on a rival platform (Yeah, kids are dumb). However, with how incredible the new (semi-reboot) God of War for PlayStation 4 is looking, I finally felt the urge to give the original God of War a second chance. Guys, I was wrong, God of War is f***ing awesome." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
I played through the entire God of War Saga when I preordered God of War: Ascension in 2013 and got the package deal as a bonus
GoW series are some of the best in gaming. Great fun. Who can forget the scene when Ares through a pillar from one side of Greece to the other impaling Kratos!! Damn that was some epic shit.
Cant wait for the new one...
The steeds of time... The scale and scope of everything is just epic. The series overall is just well crafted. I especially like how the camera gets close to you in certain parts and then zooms way back in others so you can take in all that is around you.
Ah, the mash circle to watch the most boring and bland video game protagonist of all time gut something saga. Or at least he was the most boring one-dimensional one until Lightning showed up to fight him for that spot. Play DMC3 if you want a real game in that genre.
Back then I was like you, a DMC fanboy, a "combo elitist" lol. Then last gen I finally decided to get the GOW HD Collection and I changed my mind. Yes, DMC has a deeper combat system but GOW can be very technical on Titan mode and it has better boss fights. If you like Beat 'em all games, you should play both.
My last paycheck was $2500 for working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 8k for months now and she works about 30 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. The potential with this is endless. This is what I do >> http://www.SelfNet8.com
It might be a button masher but the brutality of those combos always managed to keep the combat fun for me and then you had puzzles and platforming to freshen things up. Awesome franchise and although I can see why some are worried that the formula has been changed in the new GoW, I trust Santa Monica to make it a worthy successor.
My favorite thing about the series is how Kratos died in every numbered title and came back to life
I can’t think of many other main characters in gaming who die so many times it becomes inconsequential
Dying and respawning is a video game trope embedded in all gamers minds. So why raise this non-issue about a fictional game character who does the same always in context to the story presented in each game(he is a God afterall)?
Goku died multiple times, did it make the series any less interesting or inconsequential? Hell no it still racks in millions of views 30 years later!
Did I say it was an issue?
Since when is admiring Kratos’ ability to defy death multiple times supposed to be something that’s criticized?
Also Kratos was a god in only one game, Ghost of Sparta. Every game he died in was when he was mortal, not omnipotent. Get your facts straight before coming at me like that.
When people died in ancient greek they were sent to The underworld. They can be brought back. Gaia brought Kratos back when he died
Oh now your OG comment was a possitive remark on the GoW series?
Smh..
Man you are a sensitive snowflake aren't you?
@ Asp
I know I played through the entire series. Not just anyone could come back from the grave, Kratos is such a badass he makes a habit of it.
@ Ultra
Dude you must be out of your mind if you even thought I was making a negative remark about Kratos.
Idk what’s even your issue is trying to start ish with people over your misinterpretation Iof a comment, but buzz off
@ Mr Marvel
1.) Kenny doesn’t come back to life in every episode he dies in like Kratos
2.) Kenny didn’t originate as a gaming character
I don't know what these guys are on but I loved how death was just an other god Kratos was gonna stomp out on his way to vengeance. I loved the idea that death was just an other obstacle for him.
Ultra needs to find his way to his local weed man and take some of that edge off.
@ Remember
What’s so absurdly awesome about Kratos only that he defies death on multiple occasions, he actually literally kills the very personification of death in the form of Thanatos in Ghost of Sparta
Hell even a disguised Zeus even called Kratos “Death, the Destroyer of Worlds”
Ultra is an ultrasensitive prude that tries to start arguments over baseless things, pay him no mind
It's funny, there isn't a word for what Kratos does through the series. We can try to explain it, give exapmles, but he was so extreme in his fury and dedication that we don't even have an adjective to describe what he put himself and the Greek Pantheon through. Looking back, his story is so unique in it's nuances, I'm not sure I'll even experience a story like his again.
Well he’s called the Ghost of Sparta for a reason. A woman even flung herself to her death rather than be saved by Kratos. It’s not like we don’t see how the world views his actions
Hopefully he plays all 6 on the PS3 unless they have all 6 on PS Now. Imo they are all awesome.
Reading the author is playing on the Vita Id recommend Ghosts of Sparta. I think it works well on the handheld and really enjoyed it.
I've really enjoyed every game in the series, but I think I'd rank them:
1. GoW II
2. GoW III
3. Ascension
4. GoW
5. Ghost of Sparta
6. Chains of Olympus.
I actually liked the combat in Ascension the most, but it just wasn't as Epic as the others.
PS3 Collections come to me
Personally for me Ratchet & Clank is one of my favorite video game franchises. I love the originality, creative and destructive weapons and gadgets, and the games are just a blast and pure fun to play.
the infamous reverse is so sweet
why do these covers look a million times better than "platinum" or other cheap re-releases?
do they deliberately make budget versions look like crap so people avoid it?
these collections look ok and i might actually consider purchasng them
Yeah I got the Ratchet Collection and I will soon pick up the Jak Collection.
Nice collections for sure! Might snatch up the Infamous set.
