Braid is on the PS3?! Huh, I never knew. Anyhow, I don't disagree with Braid, but it IS available via Steam already, so I suspect he's already decided to pass on it.

Although some of these are on PC;
Burnout Paradise on the PSN is awesome (and cheap)
Shatter (PSN)
Fat Princess (for the wife)
Singstar series (also wife material here)
Batman AA
Infamous
Dead Space, Bioshock, Fallout (if you havent already played them)

outside of that I would say embrace blu-ray if you don't already have a player. Buy a blu-ray remote, buy the PSeye (or wait till the motion drops) Video conferencing is actually very good on the PS3.

anything else I can think of is more obvious than what I already posted

Demon Souls. Or Heavenly Sword, it should be pretty cheap now.

Haha Singstar. Great. My wife is Filipina/Chinese so she has karaoke in her veins.  I lost my Wii to Harvest Moon and now I'm gonna lose my PS3 to Singstar :P

Again thanks for the input everyone, greatly appreciated. Sorry I haven't been responding as much as I should but I've been doin a lot of work and looking up games on the side.

Demons Souls & God Of war Collection ARE Both Worth Every Penny .

For PSN Braid is Great .

IMO you GOTTA get both Metal Gear Solid 4 and inFAMOUS, 2 of my favorite games of all time (in addition to Uncharted 2 of course). Also, Little Big Planet is a must-buy; just give it a try and idk how u won't love it. Me and my 2 buddies (we're all 22-23 years old btw...) play LBP together and we have a blast. And one of those friends just got a ps3 and I think LBP was one of the main reasons haha. Anyways, the Ratchet and Clank series is also surprisingly enjoyable to play, crazy amounts of customizeable weapons! A lot of ppl love Killzone 2 in case u like fps's, graphics are incredible. Lastly, check out the resistance series if u have enough cash left. Resistance 1 campaign is amazing, plus online multiplayer. For Resistance 2, campaign isn't as good but they have online 8-person coop and that's a blast (this coming from a person who almost never plays online), plus up to 60-player multiplayer.

All right man, hope this helped. I only listed PS3 exclusives here btw. There are some other good games that are multiplat like Batman: Arkham Asylum. Anyways, have fun!
