A bit of a novel, but I hope you find this helpful, OP.
First, to comment on what happened on your call with Microsoft: maybe it's possible you just got one of the really bad reps? But then again, they got a supervisor involved and they still wouldn't just fix the situation for you? Especially seeing as you hadn't even used your subscription... that is pretty ridiculous. Well, I'm confident that you'll find the PlayStation experience an enjoyable one.

Honestly, this is probably the best time to try out a PS3. We're closing out on this generation of consoles and some of the best games of the last few years have been PlayStation exclusives. Especially if you've been using an Xbox 360 this whole time, you're about ready to meet a whole new world of incredible titles.
Quick edit: Just wanted to clarify... I'm including links to Amazon just as an easy way for you to learn more about individual titles. But just as /u/undeadwolfy mentioned:
>You can buy most of these pre-owned at a decent price. Some are digital so they're not much cheaper but still great.
So first and foremost, I highly recommend anything by Naughty Dog -- they are arguably the best developer in the entire industry right now. They released four titles on the PS3: Uncharted 1, 2 & 3 (each game is a must-play), and the absolute masterpiece that is The Last of Us. You've probably heard plenty of praise for The Last of Us (and it is well deserved), but I would recommend saving the best for last. It's such an awesome game that, after completing it, nothing else I played interested me anymore. It took like a month to get back into the gaming groove, so I'd save that 'til after you beat the Uncharted trilogy. It's that good.
Aside from that, there are some other great titles I'd highly recommend. I don't know what kind of games you're into, so I'll just list all those that I've liked, personally:
Not to mention plenty of other great exclusives (Rachet & Clank series, Resistance trilogy, Valkyria Chronicles and more) and the tons of PS1 and PS2 games on the PlayStation Store for cheap, playable on your PS3 if you want to go old school. (Not to mention the many PS2 games being rereleased for PS3 in HD glory... I'd recommend Shadow of the Colossus, which happens to be free for PlayStation Plus members this month... hint hint.) Of course, all the multiplatform games are also here (Battlefield, Bioshock, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, etc.).
That said, however, if you really want to jump in the game, PlayStation Plus is worth every penny -- a ton of free games each month (and we're talking major titles, in addition to a handful of indies), plus a large variety of other system-enhancing features and discounts. And if you're looking at getting a PS4, getting PS+ is a no-brainer. For one, it is required for online multiplayer on the PS4 (no such requirement on the PS3, but hey, they've got to make their money somehow). But what's awesome is that one PS+ account will work across both the PS3 & PS4, and enable you to get free games for each console for as long as you are a subscriber, with free games on the PS4 appearing on day one.
Welcome to the new age. Now cue up some Imagine Dragons and get ready for a freaking awesome experience. We're glad to have you.
The previous posts have covered the exclusive PS3 collections pretty well so I'll focus on multiplatform ones. Several of these are a bit rarer since they seem to have come out later on and (maybe?) don't have as many copies out in the wild. Also, check out Glyde - they have a lot of great games for cheap, and all the games I've bought from them have been in better than advertised condition. Their shipping is quite slow though.
Ultimate Action Triple Pack - Sleeping Dogs, Just Cause 2, Tomb Raider. Great games here, and I've beaten all of them. If you like action check it out.
Ultimate Stealth Triple Pack - Thief, Hitman Absolution, Deus Ex Human Revolution. Not played any of these as I dislike stealth but you may enjoy them.
Bioshock Trilogy - You have two options here depending on how much you like the series (and DLC). Bioshock Infinite black label copies (not the Greatest Hits ones) say on the box that they include Bioshock 1 on the disc, so you can either buy a copy of Infinite (+ Bioshock) then get a base game copy of Bioshock 2. You could even combine this with the 2K Power Pack and get Mafia II and Darkness II. Not played Darkness II but Mafia II is really good. The more expensive way (but you get the DLC which for 2 and Infinite is really good and helps to tie up the story really well) would be to buy a copy of the Bioshock Ultimate Rapture Edition that includes 1 + 2 and all DLC, then buy a Bioshock Infinite Complete Edition copy. Regardless of which option you choose, make sure to play the games in release order.
2K Essentials Collection (Bioshock 1, XCOM, Borderlands). Only game I'm personally interested in here is Bioshock but YMMV.
About the only other one I can think of is the Mass Effect Trilogy, which is pretty highly rated (and the only way to get a copy of Mass Effect 1 physically for the PS3) but it's out of your budget for now.
You're in luck, in light of the new console generation most the greatest hits available for the PS3 are available for half their original price or less some even available in combo packs.
• Any title from the Ratchet and Clank series. The original trilogy is available on one disk on amazon with remastered HD graphics for $19 as well as All 4 one for ten bucks.
• The UNCHARTED series is praised as one of the best exclusives on the console to date and will not fail to impress.
• If you're a Sonic fan or not these games are fun.
• A few other gems that are worth a look.
I love games!! I've been playing games for a solid 14 years, ever since the original Gameboy. I'm still a kid at heart!
Maybe not my favorite, but funniest, gaming memory was way back from second grade. I was playing Pokemon Blue version, working my way to catching the legendary Zapdos. After a long while I had finally reached the Pokemon and was just about to start the battle with him, when my Gameboy died. Being the dumb kid I was, I hadn't saved.
I cried so hard my parents took my Gameboy away for a week!
Bioshock Infinite or God of War Saga please! You're awesome for holding this contest!
Bioshock Infinite.
I've heard so many great things about this game. I just want it so bad.
This mic that I've been drooling over is $61. If that doesn't count, then BIOSHOCK.
What a pickle I've found myself in. I just wanted to retrieve a pickle from the pickle jar, but I ended up with my hand covered in pickle juice! And then I remembered I'm allergic to pickles. What a pickle to be in.
