Man, well my budget has been totally blown for now but I have more than enough of a repectable starter collection. Thanks so much for all the suggestions. In case you're curious, here's what I picked up:
► The Last of Us and Batman: Arkham Origins (came with the system in ****ty paper sleever, grrr)
► Afrika
► Journey Collector's edition
► Uncharted: Greatest Hits Collection
► Silent Hill: HD Collection
► ICO and Shadow of the Colloses HD Collection
► Katamari Forever (this game's amazing! really all I've been playing so far)
► Valkyria Chronicles
► 3D Dot Game Heroes
► Dragon's Crown
► Aqua Pazza ( <3 Atlus, found a first print limited edition for $19.99 brand new)
and on preorder:
► Dark Souls II: Collector's Edition
► BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Limited Edition
So essentially 17 whole games I wanna play for what it would've cost me to get a PS4 with two games I have no interest in playing. I think the choice was clear
