Have A $500 Budget, And I Want To Buy A Playstation 3 With The Best Games For It… What Should I Look For?

I have no more than $500, can’t get any more. I want the 80 GB playstation 3 with the best games for it. Where should I buy my stuff.

well if you put the tax together, buying a 30 dollar game, and the 400 dollar console means your at about 485 dollars already! so i would probably buy warhawk, or pacific rift, or assasins creed, those are all 30 dollar games… here do the math

Two deals I’ve come across:
* Get a Sony credit card (new account), buy a PS3 from Sony’s online store and get a $150 credit. (that would make the 80GB PS3 $250) but this comes with no other accessories or games.
* Walmart.com is selling the 80GB PS3, extra controller, DVD remote, and your choice of game and blu-ray movie for $470 (approximately $50-60 in savings) this offer is only on their website – not in stores. You must choose 1 game and movie from their list.
Keep in mind that the PS3 only comes with the standard AV cable, which won’t provide you with a HD picture. So if you have a HDTV, you’ll want to either pick up the PS3 component video cable, or a standard HDMI cable. Don’t spend a fortune on a HDMI cable. A $10 cable works just fine. If you can’t find them for that price, check out http://monoprice.com – they sell good quality cables starting at $7.
If you’re going to be watching DVDs or blu-ray movies on your PS3, you might want to consider getting the DVD remote, which sells for $20-25 separately. The PS3 controller can be used but the remote makes it a lot easier.

I live in england so cant help you with what store, but I would advise you get the console with the most up to date release you want included with the package, then get the rest of the games second hand (and search either ebay for a second dual shock or pick up a cheap sixaxis only controler for your mates to use!)

I would look for big time suppliers of those things that have good selection of what you are looking for with reviews. They usually have the best prices as well because they sell so many of them.
http://www.ps3-buy.com can show you some good ideas. Good luck
