First mistake was a Sanyo TV... My experience with Sanyo TV's (collectively with my college buddies that purchased them from our local walmart) have not been great. From poor sound, dead pixels, color blurs, green spots in next to the internal speakers, etc.

Sanyo was your first Mistake... I am not sure a cheap coord would do this. I will say this, you should price SONY, see what they say, then try "Play N' Trade", they fixed my ps3... but nothing blew up on mines, just a bad BR reader... You may have to purchase a new PS3... then swap your HD (if it matters &/or compatible).

Other than that, I hope you get it fixed bro... and try to bubble your sanyo tv... Emerson [from ppl i know] have a better quality of TV's [Sanyo phones are sorta cool].

Im not 100% writing off Sanyo, Just my exp & exp of ppl I know.

ViVa La Ps3

This is a tough question... I cannot say MGS or FF because I like other genre's. But if I had to say those two, I would. But for me... all platforms or etc.

Medal of Honor (pc did it for me)
COUNTER STRIKE/ HALF LIFE SERIES + MODS (Golden Eye MOD! OMG!)
Call of Duty (pc was the best)
Socom
Battlefield
Mario (every/anything that MARIO is used to sell the game)
Rainbow Six (starting from the PC)
NBA Live (95 til 2005)
Madden FROM DAY 1
SEGA GEN Football series w/ Joe Montana then dub'd to be PrimeTime (same engine + Joe Retired)
Street Fighter
Virtual Fighter
Tomb Raider
Tenchu
Dragon Ball games including famicon!
JAKKS/YUKES N64 Wrestling Series from WCW World Tour through WWF No Mercy!
Shinobi (my fav Shadow Dancer)
Sonic was doing fine until... well gamers you know the deal...

My fav Series from that list, it's hard to say but MARIO. Why? With Out Mario... I Do Not Get ALOT of my Fav Games (non series and some like Sonic). Although, Mario has nothing to do with my WAR games, but MARIO did bring me into the Gaming world, when I could start actually remember things (no i did not own a GC nor do I own a wii).

If Mario is not an acceptable answer I'll say Medal Of Honor Series... because it was the FIRST war game that made me feel like I was watching a movie... MOH = Full Metal Jacket (the 2nd half) COD = Saving Private Ryan, especially when Tom Hanks get hits with the pressure of the grenade. AWESOME!

I can go all day, but these stick out first!
