[quote name='pcktlnt']If you want, you could try out Enchanted Arms (rpg). If you can find a used copy at Gamestop or EB it is 17.99 and then there is a 20% off PS3 coupon floating in the deals section.
RPG: Folklore
Fighter: Virtual Fighter 5 or purchase Tekken 5 from the Playstation Store.
Shooter: Resistance, Warhawk, Rainbow Six Las Vegas
Adventure: Heavenly Sword (very short game), Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted (Not sure if it is out yet)
Other consideration: Call of Duty 4 (shooter) , Eye of Judgment (card game)
Your SD can definitely play PS3 games until you move. But it depends on your tv, the text may be a bit hard to read. Just save those extra hundreds and put it into your bigger HDTV.
Have fun with your new purchase. I sure am.

Your list is flawed. Folklore isn't a RPG and Sigma isn't an adventure game. Basically actual JRPG's that are good aren't out for the system (hell I actually don't think any of the three has a great JRPG game out right now), with that said try Oblivion. It's a PC-Style RPG but is amazing. Folklore might be up your alley as it's an adventure game with a JRPG style to it (not a bad game but I hate the comic style cutscenes they should've just been normal for this type of game and with voice overs, not the comic style scenes that look like they belong in Viewtiful Joe or a new Comix Zone game instead). Ratchet is a solid adventure/platforming game. Resistance and COD4 are the best FPS's on the system (though renting Darkness isn't a bad idea, it's fun but just short). Heavenly Sword is a good action game, but very short.
I personally don't like Ninja Gaiden Sigma. To repetitive and it's design is flawed. I don't understand why this with a stupid story (with it's attempt to be like a big budget movie, yet it's actual story and what not is closer to some crappy b-movie ninja story) and horrible design/AI (yes it's terrible design, it's hard for the sake of being hard, and not because the AI is good, but because a lot of the times the AI is just cheap and cheats) got such glowing reviews (even the Xbox originals, at there time yes were amazing graphically, but still much the same, so the high 9's were wrong, to me the games about a 6).
Whoever said audio is more important than visuals you are out of your mind.. Have you played next-gen games on a good HDTV? The difference is huge and it's much better than playing on a SDTV. It's a bigger difference than playing with a sound setup. I'd go with a good HDTV first and a sound system later (though I've had a good sound system for years so my HDTV technically came later).
You can wait on the HDTV, as the games will still look better than any PS2, Cube or XBox games you have played on an SDTV, but there is a big difference when playing in HD as opposed to SD.
edit: some games coming out to look forward to as possible good games, Assassin's Creed, Haze, The Orange Box, Uncharted, Unreal Tournament 3 (might make it out this year just before Xmas).
let the truth be told!
