A much younger (too young for Force Unleashed etc.) sibling wants to play the PS3. My dad wants to get one of those discs I've seen before that has a whole bunch of the classic arcade games on it for the sibling to play. Anyone know where to find this? I've googled, searched Amazon, Ebay and several Gamestops, to no avail.
Ideas where to look? (For the record the sibling is 6, so any other suggestions for that age range are welcome)

Btw when I said arcade games for him to play, I meant the sibling, not the dad. Would edit to say that but the edit button is not working....

Well, I would recommend the sega genesis collection that was released about 6 months or so ago. There is alot of great stuff on that, and it is very cheap. I'm not sure there have been alot of arcade re-releases for the PS3.
There is all kinds of great stuff on the PSN though.
Um...Kids love rock band right?
Nope, I'm out of ideas. Disc-based PS3 stuff that is actually worth playing tends to be at least T rated stuff.

In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.

Too true man.
I'll look into Sega genesis.

Might be too much of a challenge yet but you could look at the Lego games (Batman, Indiana Jones & Star Wars), nicely kid friendly done, for instance you know that scene from the Temple of Doom where the priest rips that man's head out of the chest? Now he 'just' pushes the guy in the lava, but it's not bad, the person only gets a nice tan!
Never running out of lives also helps for kids not to give up too soon. And finally you're able to play it in 2-player coop so he could play with a friend or an older relative might help him past a tight spot.
I'm actually playing Lego Batman together with my wife now and it's some good silly fun. What helps is that there's always loads of other stuff to discover in the levels for which you need to go back with other powers/characters.
