*Note: If I missed anything, leave a note and I'll add it to the original post.

no more heroes and endless ocean for me.

Well, I can't afford them all right now, but eventually No More Heroes, Advance Wars: DoR, Endless Ocean, and maybe eventually One Piece: UA

No more heroes = must buy

advance wars? i didn't see that on the list :P i'll get that too :)

Nice well done. Nothing too big on the PS360 side :( Save for Paradise.

i would buy no more heroes.

For me I will probably get Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. Although nothing interest me on PS3, I will be able to catch up on previous releases.

Definitely getting Burnout Paradise, I might get No More Heros too.

No more heroes shall be mine!
