Good haul, but so you know those Ion turntables should only be used for garage and attic find records. They are not the best of quality. I have the upgrade of what you have and on modern discs bass notes make the needle skip tracks - and no arm or weight adjustments do anything.

I'm kinda hopeful for this goal now that gamestop looks like it is starting to try and move stock so they have more room for xbone and PS4 stuff.
Nice. Now is a great time to be picking up cheap 360, PS3, and Wii games. Yesterday, I picked up:

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (PS3) - $4.5
Street Fighter IV (PS3) - $4.5
Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed (Wii) - $4.5
Nerf N-Strike Double Blast Bundle (Wii) - $4.5

This morning, I grabbed:

Haze (PS3) - $3
Monster Lab (Wii) - $4

(Haze is an incredibly cheap PS3 exclusive, BTW; so, you may want to consider grabbing it too.)

Most of the rest is pretty cool, but I think you overpaid by about $4.35 on that guy.

There is a reason Haze is $3 (not just cuz 'lolcheapgamez)... If you want PS3 exclusives that will become cheap and are actually worth playing, get Heavenly Sword. Short, has some flaws, but the story and voiceacting/mocap are phenomenal. Truly regretful the franchise was killed in the crib due to Sony's forcing it to be pushed out before it could be finalized.

Yeah Heavenly Sword is pretty awesome. They are actually making a movie for it right now I think so maybe there is hope that it will get a sequel next gen.

Another early ps3 exclusive I have been meaning to play is LAIR. Looks pretty awesome and is really cheap. A lot of people hated it because of the six axis controls though, but I think the controls got updated in a later patch so that you could disable them.

Damn, I though it was just cuz 'lolcheapgamez.

I have read the negative reviews, but the game was developed by (and likely killed off) Free Radical design. Their other games were compelling, and from what I have read, Haze has some interesting mechanics. It may not have justified a "full price" purchase at the time of its release, but for less than the cost of an iPhone app, I am willing to give it a shot. (Genji: Days of the Blade is another game that falls into this category.)

(Also, I agree that Heavenly Sword and Lair are probably better choices for inexpensive PS3 exclusives. Another great one is MotorStorm, which can usually be purchased for just $1.)

EDIT: I must note that Haze (PS3) is rated slightly highly on Metacritic than Lair (PS3). I think that Lair's reputation has been redeemed somewhat since its release, however.

Wowz! I had no idea and am glad to hear of this! Thanks man!

Heavenly Sword is one of my all time faves of the late gen gaming storylines, glad to see it get another chance. This definitely could be comparable to what Serenity was for Firefly!
