Ended up grabbing Ys Celceta, DBZ Vita, and Neptunia V. From what I've played of Ys so far, it's fracking awesome. Going to wait until the end of the week on Sorcery Saga, see if it's a temporary or permanent drop.

Always look up Blog.US.Playstation.com and check the store update. It lists what games are perm. price drops or on sale.
Regardless if there's something you want and it is on sale, you blindly buy it and regret getting the game later if you end up not liking it =V
 
Avoid it like the plague ESPECIALLY on PS3. If you ever wanna play it, get the PC ver. for 60 FPS.
Heck the game's been on sale on PC for like $2-5 in the past.

It's not worth getting for free if you need to use download quota to get it. Seriously do not waste your time, there are so many good games to play.
Okay, thanks, I'll make sure to pass on this golden opportunity :D
 
So Wolfenstein preorder for $53.99 for PS+...Is this the first time a full priced, retail release is getting a discount for the digital version on PSN?

And how long will this discount last? It's enticing to jump at, but I feel like $6 is worth it to wait on early impressions... Has there been any extended gameplay previews of the game?
 
Considering my luck thus far with games I purchased going on 50-75% discounts after I purchase them (vagrant story, to:luct) I am trying to hold off just....a...bit....longer for trails in the sky. Fool me once(or twice), shame on you..yada yada
 
Oh, that. There are some US games on the EU store, I'm assuming VS isn't one of those games, right?

Can't say. I'm nearly sure that VS was released in the EU store before the "US import" thing, but my knowledge on this matter ends here (I already had created an US account to buy legacy titles in 60hz).
 
blah... can't buy Chrono Cross, Abe costume for LBPV, and the new Star Wars Pinball tables til next monday

oh well, Putty Squad should come today, and I can open it, install it, look at it, and then go back to playing Destiny of Spirits
 
All PSX Square (Enix) games on EU PSN are 50 Hz
At least last I checked >_>;

When did you buy VS and TO?

I'm sure that TiTS will go on sale around the time SC comes out.

But otherwise that game is great and is worth the $20
 
Vagrant Stoy is $3 on US PSN this week
EU GAFfers that played the PAL ver. need to grab this ver. if they like the game.
I got the EU version, but haven't played through it, so I'm not sure why I should buy it again. It's not like the creative people behind the title could ever work on a successor at S-E.
 
Uh guys, I was just checking on some "still to buy favorites" and... where the fuck is ZHP ? Search by name or subtitle is not working. Sonyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!

Edit - ok so now the search is ok. I swear I tried everything 5 minutes ago and PSN search turned nothing. Even looking at PSP games in Z-A sorting was no good...
 
So how many of these fire-sale games do you guys think will be given for free in the next months? :P


I'm guessing that at least Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will be free coming June/July.

If you play on PS3, get the game off US PSN. 60 Hz makes all the difference, and in the case of Vagrant Story IIRC, the combat is much better since the 50 Hz botched it.
 
Have you missed all of the shenanigans with Watch Dogs on Wii U? Unless they announce the next AC for Wii U, it looks like it'll be the Just Dance machine for them.

It is still not cancelled so that's better than nothing. And to be fair, they supported the Wii U much longer than they did with the Vita. The UbiArt download titles are still coming.

The game seems far more demanding than Rayman, the Vita probably just can't run it without a significant investment. Rayman Legends was already a difficult port.

Been pretty much on media embargo for the game but I can't imagine it being that demanding that the port would need significant investment. I believe with it being a turn based game they could have cut some corners cmpared to Rayman (framerate).

Hope it plays well in Remote Play.

Exactly. I got the game back in the PSP days off of EU PSN and completely couldn't hit the timings during combat. It was so frustrating.
Now I've learned from my mistakes and made a US account on Vita. Srlsy, 60Hz makes all the difference in Vagrant Story.

They've said it's much more demanding than Rayman, specially on the CPU. It runs at 720p on old gen systems rather than 1080p as Rayman did.

I'm betting MGR: Revengeance with be the big PS3 games (alongside Okami HD and something else) with the Vita getting Murmusa and Metal Gear HD Collection (which will be really messed up considering this sale).

With all of the Curve games that were part of the January sale landing on Plus, I have the expectation of sale games landing on Plus (we are seeing that already with Puppeteer landing on Plus next month).

Still, we don't know this for sure and both Rising and Murmusa are well worth there normal sale price, let alone a steep sale like this :).
 
Guys, is this official/genuine?

I'm sure it's been mentioned already, but:

Code:
[b]Title                                  Sale Price   Regular Price [/b]
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together    [b]$9.99[/b]        $19.99

Tactics Ogre, aka the greatest ever SRPG, aka the best PSP game, aka JUST BUY IT.
 
I like the idea of having HD Collections digitally instead of physically.

It makes me feel like i have some sort of built in PS2 inside my non backwards compat. ps3.
 
I am REALLY waffling on Chrono Trigger and Muramasa.

Chrono Trigger because of the load times, Muramasa because I am worried it will be on PS+ before I have time to play it.

I suppose writing that just made me realize I've made my decision.

Yeah, it sounds like you're better off buying something else.

I suggest picking up Celceta if you have an extra $10, i don't think its going to be cheaper than it is currently any time soon.
Also its a really great game.

go with vagrant story or cross over trigger

muramasa you can wait on - though it IS a good price and you end up owning the game...

Yup, my current cart looks like this:
- Ys: Celceta
- Tactics Ogre
- Vagrant Story
- Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection (Vita)

I think I'm just going to stick with that.
 
Are the Arcana Hearts games any good? Is Arcana Heart 3 for the Vita something I should get excited about?
If you don't like anime fighters? Probably not.

Love Max has been out in arcades for a year now; you can check tournament footage to get an idea of how it plays.
 
It isn't so much the general fact that people ask questions about updates and discount times that bothers me in the sale thread, but what actually annoys me a bit is when someone asks "oh god the prices are all wrong what is going on is it the same for everyone!" and someone further up on that same page has already tried to explain how things work. Like, that seems like the type of question you should at least skim the past few pages of the thread for to see if it has been asked/answered recently. But whatever, there was certainly a time when I didn't understand how the store update worked, but I was still a lurker then and couldn't ask even if I wanted to.

Also, good haul. Got Atelier Totori, Chrono Cross, Symphonia, and Time and Eternity. Yea, that's right, I bought T&E, what of it! Couldn't help it, had to see if the rumors were true. Already own P4G, Muramasa, Danganronpa, Ys and Chrono Trigger so I can't think of anything else from this sale I would even want. God PSN sales will be my downfall.
 
Picked up Metal Gear Solid HD on PS3. Already had the Vita version but I wanted Peace Walker. Got Armored Core: Verdict Day as well. Tempted to get Daylight, but ehh those reviews.

Also, did Demon Gaze get stupid hard for anyone else? Right at the beginning when you learn about summoning monsters with gems, specifically. I summoned one monster, who just kept summoning more monsters. Then I died and the game booted me back to the main menu.

thats a super solid list of games you got there.

literally hundreds of gameplay hours worth. i don't think you would even have time for the other games.
 
I completely expect Borderlands 2 to bomb
I hope not
Me too, it's the only thing stopping me from putting up the OT now.


I think even CoD Vita got more press than BL2.

I hate how Vita games in the states get no coverage, the game releases next week, and we barely have anything. You would think the Devs would be proud of making all that stuff work on the Vita. Guess its SCEA
 
Sorry Dragonball... I originally will go and buy you but Tactics Ogre came. I really loved that game back on my PSP. I'm ready to spam Archers and Dragon Knights against countless peons again.

A couple people mentioned that in the OT. You just got bad luck. :P

Did you try putting in only one gem?
 
Does buying the MGS HD collection give you each game as a separate digital download, or are they presented together as a compilation?
