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 slim/superslim is good to keep also unmodded, it’s very solid and cheap, BDs are nice to collect and they would need a lot of GBs (I’m always pro piracy btw).

Just keep in mind in that gen many games are better on X360, I collect PS3 games if exclusive or if the port is very comparable.

A X360 is a great console to softmod, equally cheap and it cover all the games with superior version without the need to buy DVDs (a bad format to collect in my opinion).

Good suggestions. I have my 360 modded and so many of the games on there are awesome, but lots of similiar titles. Any reason why the 360 is better than the ps3? Framerate or resolution? Or GPU?

X360 games tend to be better because PS3’s architecture was a nightmare for developers but as pure hardware PS3 is superior, you can see it on quality PS3 exclusives or in the latest games in that gen, when the Cell processor was well known.

As a gamer it make much sense to collect every good game on blurays but many PS3 titles are just bad X360 ports (Bayonetta, BioShock, etc).

That makes a ton of sense. I know the dev consoles plagued quite a few consoles for games with unique hardware and so many workarounds.

The fact they fit resident evil on a N64 cart still blows my mind haha.

Thanks! I do have a 360 in the USA, but I live in another country where ps3 was significantly more popular. So it’s much easier to come across stuff for it.

Plus the more exciting thing for me is that I never had or played one before.
