Any chance of Tokyo Jungle or Unfinished Swan being on sale next week?

So no Walking Dead deal like the other systems?

Tokyo Jungle has a banner with $10.49 as the regular price so it'll probably go on sale. It might also have an additional Plus discount.

Unfinished Swan ($15) and Walking Dead ($20) have banners with their regular price so they probably wont go on sale or maybe they haven't preloaded banners for those games. I'm hoping the lack of WD sale price is cause its gonna be free for plus members early next year like they did with Back to the Future this year.

50% off on Sound Shapes works for me. After playing the demo a few days ago I was already thinking about purchasing it. Hurry up Monday!

 

[Wonko_C]

Yeah it is. Another cheap, boring fighting game. I don't pay $4 a month for that crap.

Bioshock 2 was decent though.

There is no accounting for taste but this, god it hurts so much. *Hugs first-print edition of KOF XIII. Don't worry, my baby, I'll protect you from the bad man.*

 

[Cudder]

Walking Dead would work really well on the Vita, actually.

This is only true if you ignore the fact that it's blatantly false:

• 2nd January – Bioshock
• 2nd January – Guardians of Middle Earth
• 2nd January – Mortal Kombat – excluding Australia and German
• 2nd January – Gotham City Imposters – Australia and Germany only

Wrong. You're blatantly false.

The next Store update is 9th January.

It's a trick question! The answer is, of course, SCEE doesn't know what's going on, since the SCEE blog is the source for the January 2 updates.

Walking Dead episodes 1 & 2 were free on PS+ months ago.

This post reminds me just how awful the January update is. Good lord, what are they even thinking?

 

[J-Tier]

Exactly why I ended up buying the entire series. Wouldn't have cared otherwise, good move.

 

[lucius]

I am not interested sports or racing games if they decide to keep going that way at least give us their MLB game, Gran Turismo or one of the Need For Speed games. I still like Plus, but you have to be insane not to like SCEE offerings over SCEA.

What's interesting is that PS Plus has actually had a change of guard this year and still the quality has been pretty amazing. Same goes for Sales as well.

 

[el retorno]

I seriously don't understand how SCEA can win. Nothing they do pleases anyone. Every week there is so much hyperbole about how this is the worst thing ever.


I would like some psp or ps1 games for vita though but I'm estatic for the value in getting for 50 bucks

 

[kassatsu]

SCEE won't see store publish until Jan 9, not sure if that includes PS+ stuff though.

Europe has Red Dead Redemption, Batman Arkham City, and Vanquish. -_-

 

[LiquidSolid]

Europe has Red Dead Redemption, Batman Arkham City, and Vanquish. -_-

We also have SCEE and the EU PSN, so we're still worse off.

 

[Macho Madness]

Europe has Red Dead Redemption, Batman Arkham City, and Vanquish. -_-

Which is exactly why I want more PSN, Vita, and PS1 games.

 

[Agent X]

NBA Jam: On Fire Edition is one heck of a freebie. I liked the demo a lot, and although I didn't purchase it, I think it's a game worth buying. I'm very happy with that choice.

I've already got Sound Shapes, but for those who don't have it already, I think it's one of the best games released this year, and would highly recommend it. Skullgirls for half off sounds like a good deal, too.

 

[flowsnake]

Uh, that was in September? Don't trick me like that. :/

what does IGN have to do with it?

 

[Tizoc]

Oooh Walking Dead might going for $11?
If it's this week guess I'll be getting: Sound Shapes+WD.
How much is SS on PSN BTW?

Yeah it is. Another cheap, boring fighting game. I don't pay $4 a month for that crap.

...but it's hype as fuck!

It has a fun and satisfying combo system.

 

[George Claw M.D.]

So, I didn't want to create a new thread or bump an old one for this rant, but since it's somewhat PS+ related, I'll vent it here.

PS+ has caused me to finally run out of HDD space on my 320GB PS3. I have a spare 500GB HDD that I'll upgrade with, but before backing it up, I cloud-saved all my copy-protected save files. While browsing through the PS+ cloud save folder, I noticed that I could sort the saves by name. "OMG!" I thought. I excitedly went to my PSN games folder and ... NOPE. Still can't sort by name. WTF, Sony?! It's a simple additional line of code to add a feature that many people have been clamoring for through several firmware updates. It's ridiculous that Back to the Future episodes are scattered across my games folder, because I downloaded them at different times.

I love PS+, but it caused some bad feelings to resurface.

 

[Melchiah]

Can we have a separate thread for all the criticism about the US service? It's getting tiresome to see a post after post, and a page after page, people complaining about the same thing.

You mean about the lack of deals? Some months are better than others. Come on now.

This is GAF, complaining is an art form.

i agree 100% it's so annoying seeing the same complaints every single month. it's a damn good service but jeez you make it seem like it killed your family and all of your gaming budget for the year or something

 

[KAL2006]

Better yet we need seperatly PSN Plus threads for different regions.

 

[polg]

Better yet we need seperatly PSN Plus threads for different regions.

This. I was coming here to rave about PS+ (NZ here) but I see so many unhappy people specially in the us.

In the meantime, I get more free games that i can play on ps+ and I get the chance to try others I would have never played (bulletstorm, borderlands, vanquish)... So I'm a PS+ happy camper. Also free MK for vita! o/

 

[Melchiah]

I'm definitely in favor of the separation.

 

[jvm]

When you are driving away people with incessant negativity, it is time to reconsider your posting habits.

I'm looking forward to the new SCEA offering.

 

[Delusibeta]

This post reminds me just how awful the January update is. Good lord, what are they even thinking?

To be fair, it's obvious that they stuck a deal with WB Games for a bundle of Plus stuff, and had to plug in a hole in December with Batman and Kombat Vita. Still, I'm up for some cheap Jet Set Radio.

 

[Valnen]

Agreed, I don't need to know what Europe gets, just makes me jelly.

You're asking for a bandaid on a broken bone. How about ask Sony to put out better stuff? That's the easiest way to stop the complaining.

 

[Binabik15]

Uk PSN plus or Gernan PSN plus?


Trying to gez my brother to get it, since I have GA already and Vita account sharing is bad.

This is true, and to be honest, it's probably unfair of me to complain so much about it.

I wish there was something for me though.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

How do I find out how many days I have left of PS+?

Not a big pile of difference, Motal Kombat and censored games aside. However, generally speaking UK PSN is usually cheaper and can get around aforementioned censoring. The downside is having to import PSN credit (but there's plenty of sites that will be happy to do just that).

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Read the OP.

Thanks.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

PS+ paid for it's year with the initial games. Complaints? LOL!

Thanks. I'll definitely pick this up. Especially now that it's cheap and has the remote play patch.

 

[Dragun619]

hm, wonderin why this thread kept getting bump, especially since it's not Monday yet. So we're getting NBA Jam: On Fire Edition & Chronovault?

Well, if Nba Jam is fun to play local multiplayer then I'll grab it. I was surprised with NFL blitz because it was actually really fun playing with friends. And we're also getting a 50% discount on Sound Shapes and a discount on Tokyo Jungle?
Sweet, will buy when I get back. At least the PSN Plus discounts are enough for me. (Got One Piece: PW, RE4, bunch of Sega games, etc.)

 

[Melchiah]

The same applies to the Netflix thread, but you don't see us Europeans constantly complaining about a worse service there.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Wait, so is the NBA Jam that is going to be free the retail one or the one released for PSN later?

That's sort of a whole different problem. This isn't because of licensing.

The retail game only came out on the Wii.

Ah, didn't realize that. Always wondered what the difference was.

 

[Melchiah]

The source of the problem might be different, but the end result is the same. I think some common courtesy should be shown, and refrain from filling the thread with negativity, no matter how much the situation might piss someone off.

Thanks for trying, but until a mod steps in and expresses a similar frustration and lays down some ground rules, this is how it will go. It's ok. I'm content and life is good, so let them grouse.

 

[Derrick01]

I don't understand why it's so hard to look past negativity anyway. If you have a question or whatever just say it. Not everything in life has to be flowers and sunshine.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

No it didn't. It came out for the PS3 and 360 a few months later.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I thought it did! What was the difference for the on fire edition then?
