III to mine what seemed to be a unique type of resource in the known universe.
Jim is part of that expedition, and while it pains him to have to be separated from his wife and newborn child for over a year in contract, it pays well and he will be able to provide for his family back home by assisting in mining the resource known as thermal energy.

The questions in Jim's head won't let him rest until he finds the truth behind it all and lead the plot toward the events that transpired in the original game.

About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks Lost Planet 3 for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Lost Planet 3 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2013.
