Dr. Raymond Soneira of DisplayMate Technologies separates the best smartphone, tablet, HDTV, and multimedia displays from the worst with his Display Technology Shoot-Out series. And his newly crowned 3DTV champion might just give you some major 3D buyer's remorse:
The Nerd Stash: “The PS3 marked a turning point in the industry, and among the sea of popular titles came the rare games that are worth more now than ever.”
I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.
I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions
Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .
Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.
She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

“As a reimagining of a classic 2D platformer, Rocket Knight remains one of my favourite modern examples of the genre so let's see why.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
With over 5144 games on the PS3, it is easy to miss out on some great games. Here are some of the best unknown games on the PS3.
I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.
Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.
WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly
It had a lot of potential
Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.
I'm still not ready to ditch my 1080p projector yet. When they make a projector compatible with the passive glasses, under $2500 - I am so there. 3D done well is fantastic and in my opinion truly ads to the viewing experience. Haven't tried it in games yet, but given the 3D nature of games I would imagine it would be a natural fit. Not really sure what this has to do with N4G. More of a techspy thing, isn't it?
I got passive and its great. My friend hated active but loves passive. Only 650 on amazon folks. GOW O looks great! Waiting for the uncharted 3 and splinter cell collection.
Now if you got a Tv already don't worry about it. jaggies do work against 3d in some cases. Socom 4 is pretty fun too
His conclusions about active and passive are quite flawed, he talks about passive 3D overcoming its weakness of only being able to do 540 lines by having your brain "fuse" two 540 lined images to produce full HD 1080. If that were true active 3D would have 2160 lines because both eye would see 1080.
The the test also contradicts 100% of TV reviewers who say passive produces jagged edges and scan-lines, due to the interlaced resolution. When you have this much contrast in viewpoint, you know something wrong.
