Today I traded three of my PS3 games along with $24 for eight PS2 RPGs.

The games I traded are:

• LittleBig Planet - I enjoyed it, but grew tired of it relatively quickly. Trade value - $37
  
• Resistance 2 - A shooter without splitscreen is a game I'd rather be without. Trade value - $37
  
• NHL 09 - Great game, but I may as well have traded it while it still had some worth. Trade value - $37

The games I received:

• Star Ocean: Till the End of Time - Haven't played before. Just finished SO1 and starting SO2 for PSP.
• Tales of Legendia - Was kind of iffy about this one. Loved Vesperia, but disliked Eternia, Mythology and thought Symphonia was average.
• Dragon Quest VIII - Regretted selling this one. Glad to have it again.
• Dark Cloud 2 - Loved it. One of my favourite PS2 games. Can't wait to play through again.
• Final Fantasy XII - Only played through the game once; the least amount of times I've played any FF (excluding II, III and XI)
• Tales of the Abyss - I hear many good things about this. Very much looking forward to it, but I keep seeveral reservations.
• Disgaea: Hour of Darkness - A classic. My favourite sRPG. Wonderfull game with countless hours of gameplay.
• Persona 3 FES - I have never played Persona. I loved Nocturne, so I'm confident this will be great as well.
• All of which are their original versions. No greatest hits.

So, what do you think? Good deal? Bad deal? What should I start with? Are there any other games I should have looked for?

Really feeling the lack of RPG's this gen and am looking more suggestions.

Good deal. I think you should start with Tales of the Abyss. It's the shortest one out of the list you haven't played. Maybe Legendia is, idk. Personally, I hated Legendia and didn't like Abyss, but I hope you enjoy them. If you loved Nocturne, you should try out Digital Devil Saga if you haven't already.

but Resistance has splitscreen :S !!!

most of the time i would say no for trading ps3 for older gens, but honestly yeah thats a good deal, those are all great games. Looks like a rule of thumb fails here.

good deal

Sorry, I should have rephrased that. No story mode split screen.

A very good deal to be hoenst. i am just thinking to meself why lbp. i love that game lol

Haha, why did you even ask? Sure it is! You're just showing off your new amazing "old-school" game list. =P

You're lucky to have found Tales of The Abyss.

I was browsing for it but didn't see it. I'll be sure to keep a look out for it. Thanks.

I thought the game was great but I only really enjoyed it while playing multiplayer. But, whenever I had people over playing multiplayer we always preffered to play other games (GH, Singstar, Soul Calibur, Pixeljunk Monsters namely)
