I thought I was going to be the first to mention the rare gem Folklore but I see Zlejedi beat me to it. Otherwise I don't have any games to add to the other suggestions.

Seems to me that as PS3 will be your number 3 console (i.e. the one you play the least) then initially you'll probably want to limit yourself to only a few games that give you experiences unlike what you'll find on Wii or 360. That being the case there are 2 which LEAP to mind immediately:

Valkyria Chronicles

Flower

To a lesser extent there's Demon's Souls. While being a fantastic game, it's still an action RPG at it's core so the experiences are a little closer to what you can find in other action RPGs. Still if you want to get a 3rd game right out of the gate then this is the one.

I agree with you, forget about the FPS's. 360 has all you need there. Though I'd make a plug for MAG in addition to what's already been mentioned. I don't own it, but it's my nephew's most favourite game, he plays it A LOT! His previous FPS experience prior to buying PS3 was all on PC. Personally I don't really dig FPS.

The Uncharted series is fun for the story, great voice acting and brilliant use of in-game dialogue. But it's gameplay is a mix between relatively straightforward platfoming, and fairly standard cover based TPS action. They blend well together for a satisfying experience, but these games don't offer an experience that's unlike anything you can get elsewhere. Though the visuals on Uncharted 2 are spectacular, and on Uncharted 1 the visuals are impressive. These games should be on your list of must gets if you find PS3 usurping 360 as your number 2 most played console. But if PS3 stays in 3rd place for you then it may forever remain on your B list.

Others that are must haves if you find yourself gravitating more towards PS3 over time are: LBP (and I'm sure LBP2 will be something truly special); Infamous; ModNation Racers; you might want to look into Move eventually, though I expect the Wii will keep you more than happy with motion controls for the most part; Ratchet and Clank Series (if you played on PS2 then you really should continue with the series, and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One looks like it will be a blast and a great new direction for the series gameplay-wise.

God of War III should be a no-brainer if you liked GoW I & II.

All of the games mentioned are great games; but you've got to start somewhere and you have 3 consoles to share your time between.

There are also a ton of cool PSN games, PSN Minis and PSone classics. If you're looking for fairly cheap gaming then you could forget the big brother (Disc based) games and just go PSN all the way. If you decide to go down that track then you could look at signing up for PSN and get really good value for money through the free games and discounted games you get from that service. The only reason I'm not on PSN is because I'd end up playing far too much and the rest of my life would suffer because of it; and worse yet my kids would end up playing far too much.
