nealbo85 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 So with the impending PS3 store shutdown I've hopped back to my PS3 and was thinking of picking up some digital games. Of course, most PS3 games can be grabbed from eBay etc. for pretty cheap but I've noticed that some of the rarer physical releases can be quite expensive. Because of that, I'm looking to see if anyone has any idea or recommendation for decent games that for whatever reason are cheaper digitally than physically that I can grab before the shutdown. I expect the list will be reasonably short but just want to make sure I don't lock myself into expensive physical copies once the store shuts down.

Popular Post Dreamcast12 Posted April 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2021 This list is far from complete but these are games who are on the more expensive side of the used games market. Also some of these games already increased in price. Odin Sphere Leifthrasir VITA/PS4 God of War® Collection VITA/PS3 Fighting Climax VITA/PS3 Ratchet & Clank Collection VITA/PS3 Metal Gear Solid HD Collection VITA Alice Madness Returns PS3 Drakengard 3 PS3 Splatterhouse PS3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofArcade Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Puppeteer is another one to add to the list. It's inexpensive on the PSN store and goes for about $70USD on eBay regularly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvanticore Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Might I ask a question? I finally brought a PS3 today because I wanted to play the original God of War games, Red Dead Redemption and the original Demon's Souls which I own physically now, whenever I look at games on the PS3 store I see games have a price but when I click on them there is no purchase option, is this because I don't have funds on my account at the time or something wrong on my end? I want to get some of the old PS1 games like Soul Reaver and the original 3 Resident Evil games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get some of the old PS1 games like Soul Reaver and the original 3 Resident Evil games No, this is because the purchase button is invisible on some games. If you click where it *should* be, it should still work. I'm sure others have better info, since it hasn't happened to me...but it seems to be more and more common with PS3 games. I just wanted to let you know it's not on your end, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, a bargain seeing as it is £15.99 on PSN. Or you would have to fork out around £90 to buy it physically off Amazon. The cheapest I can find it is £40 of CeX - https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail?id=5055277015818&categoryName=playstation3-software&superCatName=gaming&title=yakuza-dead-souls-(18)&referredFrom=boxsearch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check ebay for more information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slava Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Every PS1 game basically, if you're interested in those. You'll find games like Parasite Eve on the NA store for just $6. On Ebay, it's at least 10 times more for a physical copy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateReindeerMD Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 The PS1 classic, Klonoa, is cheap on the PS3 store, but hundreds of dollars for a physical NA copy. The Japanese disc is pretty reasonable though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
