flower, ayup.

well you can try  white knight, 3d bot game heroes,mod racers, heavy rain, and MLB the show.  On the psn you could try flower, fat princess and trine.

Go to reviews and take a look at those under the PS3 tab.  I thought the sole reason for having reviews on this site was to help people find games that they like....

I would recommend Yakuza 3, the first three hours or so are pretty rough but if you manage to get trough you'll have countless hours of fun.
If you haven't played the previous two there's a great recap for both of them when you start the game.

Valkyria Chronicles for sure.  I'm working my way through the main game and loving it.  I own all the platforms and handhelds and let me tell you the PS3 is easily the most used.  I'd also recommend picking up a PSP further down the line and giving remote play a try.  Access all your stuff from throughout the house or anywhere over WiFi.  Pretty slick stuff you can't do anywhere else.

I never played any MGS game except for 4, and it's my favorite single player game of all time.

Folklore? :p I've never played it, but it seems interesting enough

Infamous maybe? It's one of the very few ps3 games I actually like.

Oh really? I'll check my nearest Wal-Marts then. Thanks for the info!
 
@AjayRaz: I haven't played Ninja Gaiden 2 yet. Only played 1 for the Xbox. Looks good...just like Metroid: Other M "

DEMON'S SOULS

if you like ninjas and stuff, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is great. it's one of my favorite PS3 titles and it's not as difficult as the other NG games so it can't be too difficult on ya. 

Dead Space if you havent played it. $20 for one of the best single player experiences around.

Uncharted games and I know everybody loves to hate on them but I enjoyed both of the Resistance games. 

Ehh maybe I could wait on Uncharted. It isn't going anywhere....I hope.

Uncharted 1 is definitely worth picking up for like 20$ or less?  Some parts of Uncharted 1 surpass 2. "

It might be worth getting on the cheap but I wouldn't put it above Uncharted 2 "

 Okay. So here is what I'm thinking of getting all at once at the end of the year.
PS3 Slim w/ LBP2 bundled (hopefully this becomes real) $300?
Second PS3 controller $45
Valkyria Chronicles $25
Demon's Souls $40
inFAMOUS $30
Disgaea 3 $30
Final Fantasy XIV (if it comes out) $60 + w/e the monthly fee is
Uncharted 1 & 2 $30 & $45
Note:I got these prices from Amazon. My local game store probably has them cheaper.
Just over $600.
Maybe I should cut down on the games?

Uncharted 1 is definitely worth picking up for like 20$ or less?  Some parts of Uncharted 1 surpass 2. "

" God of war collection is pretty good.   inFamous is fantastic fun.  Valkryia Chronicles is a very unique games but about 1/3 of the way through it goes "Oh wait I'm made in Japan" and dropkicks you in the face with punitive boss battles and scenarios that, if you can bare through them, are the only bad part of a brilliant game.   Uncharted 2 is a must have if you buy a PS3, I wouldn't bother with the first one, just read a wiki if you want to know any story elements.

Valkyria is a must have

hmm.. well, i think they beat you to recommendations, though i'd like to throw in Valryka Cronicles if it isnt in there already.

PSN must have games all of the Pixel junk games. they are fantastic! 
uncharted 1+2 are MUST HAVES. god of war (if your into it.. im not really..), dantes inferno (i know not exclusive but its still great). valkyria chronicles you may want to buy now. its $20 and it might be getting even harder to find later on. infamous also.   i think that covors you for a while..

I spend more time on my PS3 than anything else, and the reason I got it, Disgaea 3.  If you haven't played it on 360, Batman Arkham, Burnout Paradise, Valkeria Chronicles, inFAMOUS, Katamari Forever (if you're down with Katamari on the PS2, I know I am.), and Ratchet & Clank.  PSN has some gold as well, Burn Zombie Burn!, Flower, any PixelJunk game except Racers, one of the greatest dual stick shooters ever made Super Stardust HD, and something I just started getting into, Joe Danger (kind of a cross between Excitebike and Trials HD).

Not been mentioned before, they are not RPG's but good games none the less. If you havent played them allready,  try Batman: Arkham Asylum and RDR.

" @Ace829: do you have a ps2?? "

I recommend some sweet PSN games such as flower, Pixeljunk Monsters and Wipeout HD. All awesome. 
 
And God of War 3, it's good fun.

Disgaea 3 you can find anywhere. if should be around 30 bucks for a brand new copy. That game is stupidly long too. 
Valkyria Chronicles 
Folklore 
FF14 will probably be released at the same time as the PC version since most of the reports I've read said it seemed a lot more tailored to a console play style than to PC. 
Uncharted 2. That train level will forever be one of my favorite game levels. 
Eternal Sonata has some exclusive content for the PS3 
Cross Edge isn't good, but its not bad. Personally I'm not a fan of the crafting mechanics in that game so if you get it and don't like that aspect either then buy all the dlc like I did. 
inFamous 
God of War 3 
Ratchet and Clank

" Disgaea 3 is probably the best entry in the series so far, so go for that. Valkyria Chronicles is also quite awesome despite all the anime melodrama and Folklore is also pretty neat. Play Demon's Souls if you hate yourself. It's so good and so challenging but man, be ready to just want to kick shit for a few hours if you do. You should definitely play Yakuza 3, too. It's the best JRPG on the system right now, in my opinion. inFamous, Burnout Paradise, Uncharted 2 (Don't play 1. The "bullets don't actually work" thing makes it absolutely infuriating), Killzone 2 (For the sheer beauty of it), Shatter, Ratchet and Clank: Crack in Time, Heavy Rain, Pixel Junk Shooter... The list goes on, but these are just my personal pick.   Oh, and Shatter.  "

Like everyone said, check out the Uncharted games, inFamous, God of War 3, and the Ratchet and Clank games,

Oh, and Shatter. 

  The Metal Gear pack is a retail product.  You'd need a PS2.
 
EDIT: I believe it was $30 when it was first released, but apparently it's pretty rare now.
 

I recommend Demon's Souls if you have access to the internet while playing.  The Demon's Souls wiki is practically a requirement for playing.

Yakuza 3?  Plus, you can download final fantasy VII, VIII and IX from the PS Store

I know you don't want shooters, but do not pass up the Uncharted games. They are two of my favorite titles the PS3 has to offer. Also, if you haven't played Trine on the PC, definitely pick it up on the PSN. It is an EXCELLENT action-platformer.  
 
I think Square are still sticking to the 'FFXIV this holiday' plan. It could still get delayed of course, but right now I think it's still scheduled for this year.  
 
From the demo I played, Valkyria Chronicles is more of a strategy RPG than a straight up JRPG. If it's a JRPG you're looking for, get Eternal Sonata. It's cheesy in the typical JRPG ways (voice acting, story, etc) but the combat is a lot of fun and the music is fantastic.  
 
And I don't know how old you are, but if you've ever played the NES/SNES Zelda games do not pass up on 3D Dot Game Heroes. It is one of my favorite games of 2010.  
 
Whatever happens, don't neglect the PSN. There are some wonderful titles on there you won't find anywhere else, like PixelJunk Shooter, Joe Danger, Shatter (amazing soundtrack), Trash Panic, The Last Guy, PixelJunk Eden, Flower, Echochrome, the list goes on and on. 

Despite not being interested in Move, I would wait for Move bundles for the holidays. I don't give a shit about it either, but I would pay an extra $100 to be equipped while buying a PS3.
