    Alright, so I'm going to be getting a PS3 tomorrow, and it comes with Socom Confrontation w/ a mic and Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction.  I'll also be picking up LittleBigPlanet and MGS4.  Aside from these, what are some games that I absolutely need to buy?  I'm open to any game (except for multiplatforms), and it's alright if they're on the PSN.  Also, what accessories or Blu-Rays do you recommend?  I've already picked up Planet Earth, and am looking for movies that offer a big jump up from DVD's.

    Killzone 2, Valkyria Chronicles and Infamous (when it is released) are the three titles that come to mind.  On PSN perhaps Noby Noby Boy and Burn Zombie Burn.

    Everyone is all down on Resistance 2.  The story has its problems, but it's still far and away the best co-op game on the system.

    Another vote Demon's Souls. Also, if you like dual joystick shooters, Super Stardust HD is pretty fun.

    I really like Resistance 2 and Valkyria Chronicles. 

    Also, does anyone know why Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank are still so expensive?

    PSN: flower is my game of the year so far. Siren Blood Curse is the "scariest" game available on the three main consoles at the moment. Noby Noby Boy is very cheap and great for a laugh for an hour or so. Zen Pinball, release just this week, is one of the best pinball games I've played. Ratchet & Clank: Quest For Booty will extend the Tools Of Destruction experience for you (hey, 4 extra hours of Ratchet & Clank? Can't be bad). Linger In Shadows is something you should get if you're interested in the weird quirky projects Sony fund. The Last Guy is also a quirky title to check out. I thought Burn, Zombie, Burn! was really good fun, interesting mechanics. Super Stardust HD is the Playstation's equivalent to GW. Wipeout HD is one of the best looking/best racing games available.

    Retail: The two Resistance games are certainly worth getting if you're into FPS', especially now you can get them cheap. Motorstorm: Pacific Rift is a really good racing title, with busy online and a lengthy/challenging single player. Killzone 2 is another must have if you like shooters. LittleBigPlanet is another quirky Sony game that you have to check out. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is probably one of the best games on the system.

    Blu-Ray Movies: Any Pixar, CGI based movies will blow you away in HD. Truly beautiful.

    There are many, many more - but check out the demos on the PSN store. See what takes your fancy.

    Enjoy your purchase - PS3 is an excellent system.

    Yeah I still hate that they never dropped the damn price, like what the hell? But all mentioned here are pretty good games.

    If you don't have Burnout Paradise yet, then add that.  I only mention it because the PS3 version is the preferred edition of the game.  Apart from what everyone else has mentioned perhaps Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice if you are into Japanese turn-based strategy RPGs.

    Go pick up Uncharte: Drake's Fortune. The sequel is going to come out in fall so you better prep up. And pick up Wall E on Blu-ray! I've already wached it 3 times already! In 2 days!

    Can't fault that advice.
    If you're getting a PS3 then do your purchases in the order quoted above, then get KZ2 / MGS4 and Infamous. Then more movies :p
    ...oh and a nice 42" TV (or higher)
    ...and surround sound
    ...and a netflix / lovefilm  / blockbuster subscription
    ...and then Ghostbusters, The movie!

    nah not at all, they cleaned up shortly after it launched. It runs like butter now, and in about a week a new patch is coming out with a ton of more features (albeit some of which are already on the back of the game case!) and a few fixes. But yeah, the online is very popular, i'd say there are between 50,000-100,000 people online during peak hours. And its pretty hardcore. Its also the best online community, people just like working together using team work, there is very little ridiculing, racist stuff, and people just plain being dicks. And its even more rare given the fact that 99% of the players online have a mic.

    WAY to many people use rockets and grenades,which makes the game very frustrating.And alot people throw spawn grenades on top of your spawn point.I just wish it was more balanced.Though i dont have this problem in smaller matches.And its not that i suck at the game.

    the majority of the matches i play, nobody uses the rockets. and grenades are barely effective in Killzone 2. More times than not, the merely damage you, they have to be right under your feet to kill you. Also, are you just playing deathmactch? because other wise, nobody would be camping at your spawn point. I dunno. I'm in a clan and were ranked in the top 100, somewhere around 50 right now. Theres none of that gay shit going on, because if you're good, you can easily beat the fags who rely on those cheap tactics. Kind of like when you play COD4 and the entire opposing team is wielding grenade launchers, sure they'll get a bunch of kills, but if you and your teamates are any good, those guys usually lose.  the only game i know of where it created an enormous inbalance was in SOCOM, and they ended up blocking grenade launchers and RPGs from use in ranked matches.

    Uncharted and Motor Storm: Pacific Rift are both awesome exclusives, alot of people also like Infamous which I haven't played yet.
    Not a huge fan of KZ2 myself but eh get it if you're lacking in shooters to play.

    Valkyria Chronicles is my favorite PS3 game, followed very closedly by Eye of Judgment.  Really great game EoJ, but totally overlooked.  Hot Shots Golf is another in my top 5 PS3 titles.
