Topic: Your latest PS3 Purchase

@trev666 be wary of knockoffs if you’re seeking originals. Controllers, I mean.

@trev666 I got a refurbed DualShock from backmarket a couple of years ago if your after a controller only.

@Yousef- yeah thats why i tend to buy a whole console bundle from facebook marketplace as generally people sell the console and the original controller that came with it along with everything else. I then sell or trade in everything else i dont want

@trev666 good call
Also be wary of unrefurbished hardware
If nothing else you can use DualShock 4 wired worst case scenario

Mostly using my PS3 to play PS1 games. Just picked up Vagrant Story. I owned it growing up, but it was a bit difficult for me back then.

Edit: It's still difficult for me now, too!

It's so weird how small games used to be.

93 MB compared to games today that can be well over 100 GB.

Ive got a PlayStation classic to play ps1 games cool bit of kit that and easy to add games to

@Malaise Would love to hear your thoughts on the campaigns as I've been on the fence of buying these games for a while now. Games like these tend to mostly be remembered for their multiplayer component, but as I've discovered by playing through the PS3/360 era CoD games, the campaigns for these shooters are just amazing. Wouldn't surprise me if the campaigns for MoH are great as well.

@Malaise Ah sorry, I just read your first sentence and got so excited to reply to you that I didn't read the rest of your post.

Sounds good mate! I've also become more interested in buying games from the PS3/360/Wii era lately as I really like that generation of games. I'm still trying to avoid buying games as much as I can, but maybe next year I'll start collecting for those consoles again if I can manage to clear out my backlog some more.

So in one fell-swoop I’ve contravened two resolutions… one: I’ve bought yet another ps3 game and two: it was Dragon Age 2!

As did most people, I found Dragon Age 2 a massive let down after Origins back when it originally released and was pretty ****ed about it, not gonna lie. But… with the release of The Veilguard, I’m thinking that I’m gonna play through the whole series (played Origins & 2 on an old profile but never played Inquisition nor this latest one obvs).

I was initially thinking that I’d just play Origins, Inquisition and The Veilguard but quickly realised that my OCD probably wouldn’t let me get away with that and so I checked out the price of 2. PS3 game prices are crazy right now, so I thought it best to act fast and… while the consensus price was around £25.00 (which is fair as things currently stand) I found one for a tenner. Not looking forward to that horrendous final boss fight again but… maybe I’ll enjoy the game a bit more this time 🤷‍♂️.

@colonelkilgore Have you bought it still sealed? Cex is flogging DA2 for a fiver.

@colonelkilgore I actually enjoyed Dragon Age 2 when I played it on Xbox a couple of years back or so. It obviously didn't hurt that I was MANY years away from it's release, so my expectations weren't naturally high.

Since I do plan on playing the series all over again on PlayStation this time around and already have Origins, I'll likely pick up Dragon Age 2 as well at some point. I have a feeling both of us are years away from playing The Veilguard. Oh well, maybe it's a good thing they aren't doing any DLC this time around to add to the playtime.

@Bob_Salat nah I don’t think it’s sealed… maybe I should’ve held on til my weekly visit to CeX but it’s all good, feels like I spend a tenner by simply opening the front door these days 😅.

@KilloWertz I have a sneaky feeling that I’ll appreciate it a bit more this time tbh. And yeah… years (& years) away from The Veilguard but glad I ain’t the only one 😉

@colonelkilgore Ah mate tell me about it haha well I’m always scanning prices, just send me a list of future purchases and I’ll keep my ear to the ground. I’ll be your Oracle 😉

@Bob_Salat dude, if that makes me your Batman I couldn’t be more down 😎

@colonelkilgore He was Welsh for a while so seems only right 😉

@Bob_Salat thought that was Butt-man 😉

@colonelkilgore I had to look that one up 😂

Got myself the original Ratchet & Clank Collection, way cheaper than a Physical copy

After finishing Sonic X Shadow Generations and playing through Sonic Frontiers it seems I can't get enough of that boost gameplay so I ordered Sonic Unleashed for the PS3. I don't really know how it holds up today but I figure it's worth a shot.

I haven't played it yet, but I got Battlefield Bad Company on the PS3, that's gonna be a good play at some point. I've heard many good things about it.
