not much? if you buy your games wise for your ps3 you don't have to pay that much many games I got didn't cost more than 3 or 5€ and I don't need to look at steam to know they can't be that much cheaper there, if you go physical of course it is a bit higher, but here you can also buy your games used without spending that much money on them.

so for the third time now how expensive would it be your pc? to discuss the topic of this thread (best gaming "device" for your bang of buck)

I don't doubt there are $5 PS3 games laying about, but how many of those are the decent or recent titles? Also how much for decent PS1 games? Most of the games you'd want to play from that era are commanding collector's rates now. 

If you're wise with PC game purchases, anything preowned is worth pennies (just have to hope for a valid serial key) and new on Steam doesnt cost much more. Even better are the games bundles for a few dollars, the current humble bundle has Civ V and Beyond Earth (amongst others) for $15.

The same could be said for hardware, if you're happy with preowned it significantly lowers the price, particularly seeing as you don't need top of the line components to play most games at the moment.

 

Decent PS3 titles for under $5?

Those are in the $1-2 region, not many massively recent titles but I guess The Darkness 2 is there for 1.50

Heck if you are a big spender and are willing to go to the €5 mark here is all the software in stock on the pre owned place I get mine from mostly

460 titles to choose from under €5

Scroll down through some of those titles and consider that you can get the console for 80 from that site and add about 10 games for it to walk away with a PS3 and enough games to last you til 2017 if you make good choices for under €100
