With the recent news that NaughtyDog are shutting down the servers for their major PS3 games, my "someday I should return to the PS3 and buy everything I could possibly want before it's too late" feeling popped back up again yesterday. I've been meaning to go back and get the inFamous games anyway, but I used the moment to clear out the PS Store whilst online.
For just under £50 of PSN credit, I downloaded and installed:
Driver (PSone Classic) The inFamous Collection (inFamous, inFamous 2 and inFamous: Festival of Blood) Splinter Cell: Double Agent Splinter Cell: Blacklist (Digital Deluxe Edition)
Lara Croft Avatars x6
Sonic the Hedgehog Avatars x2
I'd always steered clear of those two Splinter Cell games before; at first, because I heard that Double Agent doesn't run great on PS3, then because Conviction went Xbox Exclusive and then because Michael Ironside didn't voice Sam Fisher in Blacklist. But I figured the regret of never being able to play them would be worse than having those concerns realised, and I might play them before I play inFamous (which, if I like, will lead me to the PS4 for the sequels and therefore be a much bigger, more time-consuming undertaking).
Might also return with another £20 credit to nab the pair of Rainbow Six: Vegas games I saw on there, just because I was always kinda curious about them.
So that's basically my summer's gaming sorted.

@Ralizah You can never own too much Gunstar Heroes. I already have it on the Wii and PS3. I was even on the global leaderboard for the game on PS3 at one point.
@RogerRoger Infamous was the first PS3 game I ever played back in 2009 when I first got one. Loved that game so much. I need to try the sequels eventually.
@SilentE Always good to hear another positive impression; I picked them up on the recommendation of a couple fellow PushSquarians, so any more just reinforces that I've made a good choice. Thanks!
Will post thoughts about the sequels as / when I get to them.

Bought the PlayStation Classic Mini with the Days of Play sale. For that amount you can't really go wrong. It has a lot of games I never even played back in the nineties.
Highlight so far: Ridge Racer. Runner-up: Intelligent Qube.
Would I recommend it? Never over the SNES Mini at least. I'll get enough fun out of it, though.

@Knuckles-Fajita Ah, cool. Might be pushing it to expect my local to have an N64 in the window, but still could give 'em a try, I guess. Glad you found a good one!

@RogerRoger You can go on the CEX website and see if they have stock in a local store. You put your post code/Town in and the nearest stores that has stock will list. Used to do it with PS4 games all the time.
