Playstation increased their prices by $100? I bought a PS3 with 23 games for the same amount. - Divisions by zero

I bought an unmodded PS3 super slim model and all the games pictured below for about $100. I haven’t been this excited about gaming in years. I never had a ps3. It was one of the few consoles I didn’t own since all the way back to the nes. First thing I did was mod it by putting hen on it so I could use my usb headset while playing since I do not have speakers connected to my monitor. Now, I am playing the uncharted series for the first time. Out of all the games there, the only ones I have played are Skyrim, GTAV, and the last of us. I played a bit of the batman games, but not really too much of it so I consider it unplayed. I can get more games where I live for about $6-$12. I think the PS3 is going to be my new gaming console for a while. If you have a modded ps3, what hen compatible homebrew apps do you recommend? I do not think I will do any piracy since the games here are so cheap, but I am thinking of copying the games to an ssd and running them over a network (I think that can be done with HEN). I have a small ssd which could hold a few games at a time and I think that will be better so I do not put too much wear on the optical drive. Sorry, for the long post. I am just really excited about this. I have always had the opinion that gaming started going downhill in this generation. Oh, also, what other games do you recommend I pick up? I already have fallout 3, new vegas, god of war, and the injustice games. I have a steamdeck, but since games are so cheap, I want to build out a ps3 collection.

PS3 is retro??? STOP CALLING ME OLD, SIR/MAM!!! MY GREY HAIRS AND BAD KNEES DO NOT APPRICIATE IT!!!
It’s a slur and a hate crime.
…and I will NOT stand for it!. . . Won’t stand for much, lately. It hurts.
So does sitting, after a while.
This makes me grumpy.
I worked on one of these games (and a PS3 launch title). I feel like this post makes it sound like I should be living in a retirement home instead of still trying to figure out how to become a first time home owner.
To me Playstation 2 is still next gen.
I bought my PS3 11 years ago, used at Game Stop, for under a hundred Euro and picked up almost every game I own at flea markets. So it might be retro now, I guess. It was just old back then.
