Well, as far as Kingdom Hearts' habit of crossplatforming goes, if you waited like me, then you can save money and practically get all the games on console.

I plan on getting 1.5, 2.5, and 2.8.

1.5 and 2.5 are both on PS3, and each of them costs about $20 and contains two playable games and a cutscene movie. Not only that, but they have the Final Mix versions of the games.

1.5 has KH1 Final Mix, Re: Chain of Memories, and an animated voice acted cutscene movie of 358/2 Days. They were actually trying to make a console version of 358/2 Days so that 1.5 would be a bundle of 3 playable games, but they ran out of time, said "Well, we've got the cutscenes," and decided to turn it into a movie.

2.5 has KH2 Final Mix (which has extra cutscenes that add to the story), Birth by Sleep Final Mix, and a cutscene movie of Re: Coded (which, honestly, is barely important to the Xehanort Saga, as far as anyone can tell. All you need to know is, there's a book that contains data versions of the worlds, and Maleficent wants it).

2.8 will be for PS4. It'll have Dream Drop Distance (converted to be a console version), a brand new game of A Fragmentary Passage (I guess it's more like A Fragmentary Passage Part 2?), and a voice acted cutscene movie for Kingdom Hearts X, which is apparently also going to be relevant to KH3, considering it holds info about ancient times leading up to the Keyblade War (which Xehanort won't shut up about), and at Japan's D23, people recently say Daybreak Town (KHX's main hub world) in KH3 graphics. Soooo, in KH3, we're going to Daybreak Town.

The content that 2.8 contains actually really explains why it's called 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue. People keep bitching about that not making sense, but it actually does. KH3 is the Final Chapter of the Xehanort Saga, and 2.8 acts as a Prologue because it contains the game that happens most recently in the timeline before KH3 (Dream Drop Distance), a new game about Aqua (and probably also Riku and Kairi) (A Fragmentary Passage), and a cutscene movie about ancient times leading up to the Keyblade War, which is relevant because (Spoiler, if you haven't seen anything from Dream Drop Distance) Xehanort seeks to recreate the Keyblade War to summon the X-Blade.

So, yeah, at this point in time, all you actually need to get all the KH games is a PS3 and a PS4. Lucky me, I have both. <3
