Obligatory "Holy crap get Persona 4 Golden" comment. Seriously, $15 is a great deal.

& DAMN at Tales of Symphonia Chronicles being $10. I wanted a physical copy but $10 for two RPGs is so tempting.

I wonder if I should rebuy Muramasa Rebirth since I sold my copy a month after getting & completing it since I forgot about the DLC....though I couldn't get PS+ price since Vita is tied to my old sub account.
 
Everyone who has a Vita should buy P4G. Even if you are remotely entertaining buying a Vita, you should buy P4G

Holy shit. $5 for Hot Shot's Vita! Buy it everyone!

EDIT: Oh, it's the Vita version for PS3. Still worth buying!

That is an awesome list, I'll definitely be picking up quite a few of those. Might even dive into the Atelier series to see what it's all about.

This. One of the best games I've played in years.

I'm gonna need a bigger Vita memory card....Muramasa for 7.49 is super nice.

And damn..Tales of Symphonia is hard to resist for 10 bucks. I would rather have trhat physically too but.....

Hot Shots is the PS3 version, not the Vita one unfortunately :(
 
This softens the blow for me that the US didn't get Muramasa Rebirth on Plus in May. Been wanting to get it and I'm willing to go for any price under $10. I'll be considering a couple other games, too.

How good/shit is Chrono Trigger on Vita? Feeling like it is time to beat it again, haven't in a year or so.

If you have a choice? Just get Chrono DS. Otherwise Chrono PSN is okay.

ZOE's port is still shit awful, right?

Oh shit, gonna spend at least $50 and still have to buy child of light and dying light for ps4. To top it off I won't even play any of this stuff until I'm done with ds2 smooth and silky edition.
 
Metal gear hd vita at a decent price about time. That's a solid sale. Now, to buy things and get annoyed when they're free on psn+ in a couple of months.
 
Dragon Ball - 5
Saint Seiya - 10
MAYBE Ys - 20

I'm going to stick with physical for fighters and mecha games, but damn those deals are disgustingly good.

You already have P4G, right?

Still haven't finished Totori, but I can't say no to Meruru at that price.

How was that Dragon Ball game on Vita?

Well i guess i'll get atelier and muramasa for my vita. Already have Ys iV moC, and i'd recommend it for this price, defiitly worth it.

Might aswell put that ps+ subscription to a good use while it last.

The load times are shitty but for 3.49 its not a bad deal. It is just the PS1 version if you want to look up the reviews on that.

Yep, US. Jesus we never get that much PS+ discounts. Fuck EU store.

Btw just a heads up, Muramasa most likely will be part of give away PS+ since it's this month's EU selected game so you might wanna skip this deal.

Holy crap, the Chrono games will be mine. Even if PS1 Trigger runs like shit, I can't say no to having it on Vita for $3.49. I wanna get the MGS Collection on Vita as well, but I'd rather get that physically eventually. $9 is a lot cheaper than what physical copies go for nowadays though... I'm conflicted :/

I will be buying quite a bit in this sale, methinks
 
Some sick ass deals there, bro. Anyone have any opinions on the MGS HD Collection for the vita?

It's pretty good, but the Vita one is only MGS2/3 (unless digital versions give you PW, too). MGS2 runs at 60FPS most of the time and 30FPS in some rooms, MGS3 was a mostly-smooth 30FPS. Very well done, IMO.

Haven't played it personally, but they did a major patch a while ago that apparently turned it into an awesome game.

ZOE1 is still....a meh port at best, but the ZOE2 HD version is 100% golden super smooth awesomeness after the patch. It's worth it for that.

This Hot Shots is the same one on the Vita, correct?

Yes

It's a port that is damaged by terrible load times, but 3.50 is a hell of a lot less than the minimum of 20 dollars you would have to spend to get the DS version
