I guess it's sunk cost. No need to torture myself over what are effectively phantasms.

If I get a PS3...

... these are the games I will hunt down.  Going to stick with what I know to be exclusives for this list, although if this was my only third gen I can think of some other games to add.

List items

  • Could be a fun co-opportunity.

  • I've been on a driving kick lately, and I've always been fascinated by F1 cars. I doubt I could even touch a real car without exploding, but this game has a lot of what I loved about Super Monaco GP, along with tons of realism along with actual damage allowed (unlike all those land-yacht games I've seen that don't even allow you to crash spectacularly).

  • This may be big. Even if it doesn't quite hit its mark, I still think it might be worth the money.

  • On to Jupiter!

  • Something about the cinematic progression of the levels that I saw in the E3 demo that just blew me away. Not sure if they could keep it up for a whole game, but who knows.

  • Eh, why not?

  • I heard the story was good, even if the gameplay was super short. So, OK.

  • The fact that I can't play Shadow of the Colossus or ICO on a PS3 makes me a bit bitter, but people keep reminding me PS2s are crazy cheap right now.

  • Tactics is yes.

  • Since I'm into exploration games, and like a change of pace from the usual stuff, this looks like it might rock when I just want to sit back and take pictures instead of trying to wreck everything.

  • I realize this is definitely a niche game, but I like some punishment with my games sometimes, as long as it feels like that challenge can eventually be beaten. Drives me forward. You know, like that machine Deckard uses in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Makes me feel... human :)

  • Never played the originals. If you're going to have a game that's pretty straight forward, make it a thrill ride like this.

  • Of course! Thanks, RagingLion.

  • Thanks to Flickr for this and inFAMOUS. I like future racing stuff; that was one of the first games I designed as a kid was some sort of crazy, high-speed racing thing.

  • I can't believe I forgot about this; it was one of the reasons I made this list in the first place.

  • As this is a hypothetical purchase I guess I can put down whatever I like. :) This wouldn't be top of my list but why not? Thanks to SUPERhys

  • As this is a hypothetical list, I can take advice from Bananas in Pajamas and not think twice about the consequences. The gameplay seemed to me to be strangely ramped up in difficulty and less than stellar in other areas, so I didn't think much of it. But as I have 8 million phantom bucks to spend on these things, I might as well add this. If I really wind up getting a PS3, I'll sure as hell pare this list down a bit.

  • You know what? I'd get the Japanese version. I don't care if it'd be nigh incomprehensible to me; I want to do as much crazy things as possible.

  • Thanks to Abdo for reminding me that this would fit in here.

  • Lupin!!!!

@abdo:  Thanks-- I've pretty much not been keeping up with these console-specific lists or I'd definitely have included the former. Have to read up on the latter, I think....

@NeoGecko:
I keep telling myself that when a new computer is on the horizon for us that I'll try to research how to make one myself.  I'm pretty sure I could have done that 15 years ago; now I'm not so sure.

@ahoodedfigure: you're still gonna have to upgrade a PC eventually, which can get pricey.

@Kyle: Tons of [now] budget titles for it, to be sure.
 
@NeoGecko: The drop in price makes it a bit more attractive, but I wonder if we may go the PC route if this old clunker dies on us, since we'll have a PC no matter what.

@ahoodedfigure: I can't say much for PixelJunk Racers or Eden, but Monsters can be fun with a second person (the demo will give a good feel for it). PixelJunk Shooter is an absolute blast.

@psoplayer: I'm not sure what to think of either of those.  I've heard mixed stuff about Fat Princess, and some people are less than impressed by some of the Pixel line of games.  But I'd be down with trying those out, especially since downloadable games are a lot easier to just nab than the hard copy titles.  Thanks for those recommendations :)

No Fat Princess or PixelJunk? 
Great choices, though.

I listed flower, but for some crazy reason I forgot inFamous.  Good save!  Thanks.
 
Not sure why there are italics there, but I can't switch them off.  Wipeout looks pretty sweet, as well.

I could almost make this same list for myself.  I'm seriously considering getting a PS3 if I have the money free to afford it and that would make it my first ever console.  The biggest thing that is tempting me is Heavy Rain, which has the potential to be my perfect game, with it promising to include so many ideas that I keep thinking I'd like to see in more games - we'll wait and see how it turns out.
 
And then there's all these other great games to pick up.  LBP and Heavenly Sword can be got for cheap now, Uncharted 2 looks like it's amazing and Demon's Souls as well.  Last Guardian is one for the future which almost certainly will be very exciting and unique.  The other game you haven't mentioned that I'd like to try is Flower off the PSN store.

Good list! Should check out Killzone 2/Resistance 2 too if you're interested in shooters! :)
