Where are the cheap games on the store? Is there any way to identify them?
I'm not talking about the minis and the PSOne 'classics'. I'm not even talking about the bargains that appear for a fortnight and then go back to full price.
I mean the original PS3 and PSP content that can be purchased for less than a fiver, week in, week out.

Now I should add that I don't endorse any of these games. Indeed some of them don't really count as games and some that do are undoubtedly rubbish. At least one no longer has any online support... But I'll leave it to you good folks to reply and point people to the real bargains in this list.
For my money you could do a lot worse than pick up Shatter or PixelJunk Monsters for the PS3, Puzzle Quest or LocoRoco Midnight Carnival on PSP.
Oh and let me know if you looked down that list and saw something amazing you hadn't realised was so cheap!
