I'm not saying that out of spite, just simply because I also have collected for the 360 as well and there are far more interesting, unique, hidden gem, and quarky games for it than the 360. On top of that there are a lot more exclusives for the PS3. I think the PS3 will enjoy a much more vibrant collecting scene than the 360 in a few years because of this and some of the reasons I mentioned in my original post. --- End quote --- I look forward to learning about some of these games then! That's not saracasm- there does seem to be a shift in focus on what games get attention once a system starts to roll into the 'retro' time of its existence, that just didn't get coverage during the heyday of the machine due to being slightly underwhelming graphically, or an odd genre for the time, or just poorly advertised. These often end up being some of my favorite titles, so I'm always excited when a system is old enough to start getting 'hidden gem' type content out there. --- End quote --- Yeah, there are a ton of non-AAA games on it that got little to no press when they came out and outside of niche audience they mostly went unnoticed. It's hard to say whether right now is the best time in terms of price to collect for the PS3 (that goes for the 360 and Wii as well), but at least we have Gamestop right now which through their inventory search system makes it easy to track down some of the rarer titles on the PS3. I can't say it's library is a quarky as the PS2, and definitely not the PS1, but there are still a lot of cool, interesting, fun games for it. |

Increasing demand for 6th gen games locally. --- End quote --- this says otherwise: https://www.pricecharting.com/console/playstation-2 https://www.pricecharting.com/console/xbox --- End quote --- Pricecharting also says the average Atari 2600 game is 20$ and that NES hasn't peaked. |

PS3 being able to play PS1 and PS2 is huge and the crazy GameCube feature on the Wii is very nice. --- End quote --- also you can store PlayStation 1 save files onto any PlayStation 3's internal hardrive and never need another PS1 memory card again!, and have almost unlimited PS1 storage on the 250 and 500 gigabyte internal hard drive super slims. OR PS2 memory cards if you have an older model PlayStation 2. But you can also have PS2 memory card on a PS3 new model but you still can't play PS2 games on a PS3 super slim or a regular slim TO UPGRADE YOUR OLD MODEL PLAYSTATION 3 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND UPGRADING IT'S INTERNAL HARD DRIVE TO THIS 2.5-inch SATA notebook hard disk with no more storage capacity then ITB and formatted to only FAT32 format |

The multi system games in my experience usually cost more on the 360, especially collectors editions. The most enjoyable to collect for is obviously going to be the system you like playing most. The exclusives for each console in my opinion are going to be the ones most sought after. |

Xbox 360 is cheap as chips except for some games wich are usually not on the market and even if they are not that expensive by any means not that ps3 is pricy in the first place. the cheap games on ps3 are a bit more expensive than xbox 360, Also sought after games such as nier command a higher price on ps3. As far as the actual expensive collectors editions go as say the rare first CE of assasins greed and allot of the other more rare once in europe the ps3 versions have way more value sometimes even multiple times even though the xbox 360 version is just as rare if not more. I think the only saving grace of the xbox 360 will be the better shoot em up department, especially on the import side, that's the only main difference since there seem to be way less interesting games on the xbox 360. |
