New Purchase

I am thinking of buying a PS3 and was looking for whatever advice people have on where the best deals are, which bundles offer best value for money, which games I should buy to start off, that kind of thing. Thanks.

Have you played any of the previous Metal Gear Solids? If so, get 4 when/if you get it. Uncharted (+ sequel) should also be given good consideration. Also would be good to know if you have a 360, as well. At this point you're talking multiplatform games.

Your best bet would be to shop around for the bundle that "suit you sir"...:p

As for must have games, look here. Bound to be something to suit your taste.

Both Uncharted games and MGS4 are very good games, imo. Ratchet and Clank wasn't bad and there are some good games out early next year. PS3 release list

Thanks for the help. Pushtrak I don't have a 360. One console will be enough for me I think. I've never played any of the Metal Gear Solids, all I've ever really played are sports games, GT and God of War which I thought was brilliant. F1ingers, thanks for those links.
