If you're wanting to get PS3 games for dirt cheap, you're going to have to wait for another year or so. However, that doesn't mean that you can't get good deals now.

This.

If I don't care enough to but it day one, I'll wait for it to get below $20. That doesn't long at all usually.

LOL, I posted this because there are plenty of games I have gotten recently for $15 and under that not too long ago were $40+. I definitely agree in a year or two would be a more optimal time, but I'm taking advantage of some cheap deals now if I find them. I can get ASC III for $13 shipped now, I think thats kinda of a good deal.

I think you should know by now that everything's a platform for debate.

Onyx, if you like the old Factor 5 Star Wars: Rogue Squadron games- grab Lair. It's like $12 new on amazon. It uses motion controls (not Move, the regular controller) but it's freakin' Rogue Squadron with dragons... DRAGONS!

Obviously

Opa, I'll check that one out, I loved Rogue Squadron on my N64, dragons can only make it better. :D

Edit - It seems my local GS has it for $4. :D

I stand by the fact that they're mostly too expensive. Walk into any store like Target or Best Buy and you'll see rows of PS3 games generally priced at $29.99-$59.99. There is a selection of $20 budget titles, but it's a pretty small shelf.

^I can't speak for physical stores because save picking up pre-orders, I don't shop or browse in them; but I'm not surprised by the high prices.

All the deals I get are online as far as current gaming goes.

I didn't know it was done by Factor 5. I'll have to check that out. Didn't they patch it so you could play without the motion controls? I think I remember hearing that somewhere.

Yeah, it has a patch for standard controls but I couldn't get used to it tbh.
I play with the motion controls.
