The PS3 advocate/gamestop manager mentioned a midnight club game and I looked at him like he was crazy.
He said it was going to look really good... All I could think was "come on, we're talking GT and you mention Midnight Club?"
Did you see my story about teh EB manager that tried to convince me that Ninetendo couldn't make a quality product and that the PSP was teh worst device ever built - because if you drop it it will break. But the 360s on the other hand are awesome and have no problems, outside of the red rings. He was even going so far as to try and stop another guy from buying a PS3. He was willing to lose his business to support XBox.
I have only seen one EB/Gamestop employee that met me on my gaming level. When Gran Turismo 3 came out I went with my then girlfriend to pick up a copy and she looked at the store clerk and asked if it made sense that I played GT for 6 hours straight. He said, "Just six?"
In general, never ask these guys for advice. They seem to either be fanboys or when you mention GT you get them saying things like, "Well, it looks nice but really what is the fun of having to work on a car and adapt to the course?" I even had one guy tell me it was just too realistic for him and that made it not fun.
Honestly, the only person that can tell you if you will like a game is yourself. Personally, I suggest a rental service for nearly every game. I know that I did not find Motorstorm to be as great as DN, but it was still fun. I just realized it would gather dust. If I didn't rent I would have probably wanted to buy Heavenly Sword and Lair up front, but now I know there are different reasons that they might not be instant purchases. So, I am waiting for my rentals to come in to try them first.
I doubt I will buy anything with a PS3. I'm sure the first few weeks I have it there will be nothing but GTHD.
Now I've just got to get the money.
Planning to trade everything in, the only thing I'm keeping is Ace Combat 5 (in case it ends up being the last PS AC). (oh, and I'm keeping my gamecube + RE4)
There are enough free downloads to keep you busy as well as GT:HD. I know I still have Virtua Tennis and DiRT that I occasionally play. I also kept the Resistance and Motorstorm demos until I bought Resistance and rented Motorstorm. And virtually every single EA sports title has a demo. They all suck, but they are there.
As for money, I would go on Ebay and see what the same titles are going for there and have that written down when you go to trade in. If they can't match that price then throw it on Ebay. I'm actually trying to sell a lot of my stuff in a yard sale my wife is having with a friend. I am giving prices higher than EB will give me, but cheaper than they sell them for. Both myself and the buyer win that way. I think the only loss I might be taking is Time Crisis 2 w/ two guns (Guncon 1 and a third party gun) for $10.
I'll be very surprised if we don't hear about a new Ace Combat game being develped for the PS3, but even if or when it comes out I suspect I'll still be keeping AC4, if nothing more than a nice reminded of all the great fun I had playing it.
I hope they make one. The only one I played was AC4 and I loved that game. I was too much into GT4 to stop long enough for AC5 or AC0.
Kent I'm sure buying the system alone and just trying out all the demos is a good way to start but be warned that some demos are not good representations of the full game. You may want to check out some of the PSN games too.
I suggest Super Stardust HD, and I have yet to find anyone that disagrees.
Also, utilize the PS3s other abilities well and you won't notice your lack of games. I spent weeks just playing with networking and making it do all kinds of fun stuff for me. It made watching all my race footage and videos much nicer on my televison.
Might have to trade in carbon(PS3) and PGR3 for it...

If they only want to give me 20 dollars for the box then why not let a friend take the box?
