I just called them up - they actually have VC in stock! Unfortunately it is about twice as expensive as buying from Gamestop.com, even after factoring in shipping. Still, I'm going to make it a point to make a trip over there sometime soon and have a look around.

Do you give them a lot of patronage?

I think you'd enjoy Folklore quite a bit. Game seems right up your alley.

Flower and Ratchet: Tools of Destruction if you're on a budget.

Well, I have no clue on the situation in Canada with pricing, availability, etc. so I'll just recommend away anyway

- Flower is of course an absolute must, you must get it, even if it's not the title with the most longevity. It's downloadable though.
- LittleBigPlanet is recommended both for it's very fun coop, and for all its online levels. Despite all the crap that people build, some levels are exceptionally well made and will add quite a bit of longevity to the game. It should be pretty cheap as well, if Canada is anything like the rest of the world.
- Critter Crunch is another downloadable game I will recommend heartily. It's a puzzle game with both great singleplayer and great multiplayer, both online and offline.
- You should also be able to find Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction at a low price. If you like it, Quest for Booty should be next and finally, A Crack in Time, which is by far the best PS3 game in the series.
- Uncharted. Great games, pretty self-explanatory I'd say
- Batman: Arkham Asylum. I honestly can't believe you don't already own this, it is a fantastic game.
- inFamous is also a very good game, I certainly liked it a lot for its comic book style.

There, ask away for more

my mate that lives in canada told me that infamous was 32 dollars so get that ;)

I just picked up a PS3 also....first game I got was Dead Space

good game plus it was only 20 dollars (US)

Yeah us Canadians really do get hosed gaming price wise. GameStop USA has it for $20 US. But Gamestop.ca doesn't have it listed anymore. Try ebay.ca. I remember when I bought Infinite Undiscovery and Fable II, the games were close to full price in Canada but cheaper in the US so I bought from some Americans on ebay. No import duties. And yet Canadian economic nationalists want to make us feel guilty for importing American? Hey, if Canadian-located retailers like Futureshop, Best Buy Canada, Amazon.ca and Gamestop.ca want to be successful, they need to give us the same kind of deals the Americans get. If not, screw you guys, I'm gonna keep importing from Amerricuh! Fuck yeah!

Like I said, look around ebay.ca. They're not selling it at sub-$20 but you can still get a better deal. Not just used but with brand new sealed copies. It's amazing how many gamers are selling brand new sealed games on ebay. That's what happens when gamers buy way too many games and don't have the time to play them. lol.

Honestly, for budget gaming, I personally prefer a rental subscription. It's not for everybody though. I don't return to my old games all that often (for the most part, just for achievements really. lol) and I prefer being able to play a lot of games to playing fewer gamers with a much heavier time investment made for each. For gamers that enjoy gunning for 1000/1000 or they like to play online a lot, renting doesn't make much sense for them but for me, I find going for 1000/1000 to be tedious for most games (defeating the purpose of playing videogames for me: to have fun) and I find that I'm not the type to want to play a game online on a regular, on going basis (like Halo 3 and Modern Warfare players do). It has it's fun and then it wears off for me after awhile. It depends on the person. Some people like to eat McDonalds every day for eg. whereas with me I'll get sick of a certain type of food if I eat the same thing for too long.

omg... how could i forget about folklore? tu'shay outlaw.

Amazing game. and very under appreciated game, i still play it from time to time myself, without the game having trophies an' all. its also PS3's first RPG to be honest.

I buy many of my games used.

Redflagdeals.com has a great trading community. I'd recommend looking there first. Kijiji.ca is also a good alternative, depending on where you live.

As for recommendations, I'd say Pixeljunk Monsters. Unparalled charm and a unique take on the Tower Defense genre. Plus it's only $10.

Disc-based? I know you're a SRPG fan, have you tried your hand at the Disgaea series? If so, Disgaea 3 was great and, I'm sure, can be found relatively cheap.

Like I mentioned earlier, I find futureshop usually has good deals. Oblivion,bioshock and AC for 40 bucks. and then I picked up MGS4 and Dead space for 40 bucks. Staples was getting rid of all their stock round new years and i picked up infamous for 17 bucks plus tax.

If I remember correctly, bestbuy.ca is having a 10$ sale for bioshock now that part 2 is coming out. and all their sites ship for free if you spend over 39$. I find with the price exchange and all. were getting better prices than down in the states. maybe not as many deals, but better prices. Anyway if you look around. you'll find the deals. I find if there's a store that doesn't lower prices of older games (in montreal at least) its ebgames
