Nah, just the one. It's really well paid though and I have hardly any outgoings so i'm finding myself saving alot of money. It's actually a curse though, because I nearly bought a Wii the other day. And the worst part is, I wasn't under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time!!

PS3 games graphics hype threads inbound.

Anyway, congrats on the purchase, you're certainly more optimistic than NotStan was. Now go and buy FFXIII again, and enjoy the uncompressed 1080p cutscenes.

HUGE LOL at badgenome...

a big LOL at the bold statment...

@OP congrats on your new console and happy hours of entertainment juiced out of it!

Happy birthday and congrats on the PS3 purchase - you certainly won't regret it, it's an awesome console.

Make sure to experience Uncharted 2. It's wonderful.

You should get Uncharted 2, heavy rain, god of war 3. Killzone 3 online is free if you want to try out.

Would recommend UC2 and Heavy Rain for sure. GoW3 has some nice boss battles too, although mine has been collecting dust lately unfortunately as I had exams and only really played MP on 360 with friends!

Also, epic lols @ badgenome thread trolling.

Demos. Do not overlook the significance of demos. Many of the more hyped games have them. I recommend the Heavy Rain demo, personally. After you get it, be sure to give the game some attention. I know you're going to get a lot of lists but here's my short list of PS3 Must Play games--

Heavy Rain: Great graphics, great story, really compelling and immersing. Not quite like anything you've ever played before (aside from Indigo Prophecy). More movie than game but it really makes you feel like you're in control of what happens.

Valkyria Chronicles: One of the most charming games I've ever played. Once you get your squad the game becomes really addictive. A great strategy game that is fun to play, too. It's like Advance Wars mixed with a TPS.

Uncharted 2: Not as impressive as it was a couple of years ago, but still one of the best looking games you'll find this gen. It's the video game equivalent of a summer blockbuster. Nathan Drake's finest hour. Not as repetitive as part 1. Not as disjointed as part 3. It's a blast.

God of War 3: It's part of a trilogy so it would be wise to play the other two first. Still, the game stands alone and is, in my opinion, the best looking game this gen, at times. It's brutal and it has boobies.
