Wal-Mart now has the $599 version of the PS3 in stock. I do want to get one, but since I just bought a new amp & a new center channel I better wait awhile.

What is considered the best of the new games for it? BTW, I don't like racing/driving games.

I dunno...I've never liked 'em, they bore me. The one driving game I enjoyed in limited doses was Gotham City Racing. I really loved that you could rip your own songs to the HD and play them back while you race. Very cool feature. Even so, I never managed to play for more than an hour per day, and never got very far before I utterly lost interest. My favorite genres would have to RPGs & your Resident Evil type games, with first person shooters right up there. For the original Playstation my all time favorites were Resident Evil, MechWarrior 2, Ace Combat 2 & Diablo. My favorite Xbox games are KotOR & HALO, and I loved the Legacy of Kain games & Castle Wolfenstein, too.

Fighting games are a bit like driving games to me, a little goes a long ways. I do really like Soul Calibre and the sequels- probably the best fighters ever made IMO.

I would like to hear all of this, but ask that we move it into a new topic - this is the sticky topic for new game purchases.
