Gotta top dat NPD chart.

Oh well, I was kinda not wanting it digital as it was a 3D title and I heard 3D effects suffer when downloaded (like a VoD 3D title). Plus the file size for everything 3D on PSN is HUGE but I'll definitely get Bioshock for $50.
 
I love these things. I never have a hard time finding stuff to meet the quota because I tend not to buy everything as it releases. I love combining these with sales as well - icing on an already delicious cake.

I have the premium edition of bioshock Infinite pre-ordered. Should i just cancel that and go for this deal for $50?

Oh boy, what a fantastic deal, Sony. $10 back for investing in a service you've already announced obsolete.

Not to mention the fact that spending money on PSN is foolish in the wake of all the PS+ freebies they give out. I've completely stopped purchasing anything on PSN except my subscription.

I wouldn't say foolish. It takes a long time for most titles to go free, and it's possible whatever you're interested in will never do so. Rule is dont buy anything you won't play immediately unless it's on sale.

Why? You already gave a select few of PSN users $10 for nothing at all. Now the rest of us have to spend in order to get it?
 
I heard 3D effects suffer when downloaded (like a VoD 3D title).

With PS3 games, there is NO difference in 3D quality whether it was downloaded or on a disc. The games aren't being streamed, they are just being played from your hard drive instead of a the blu ray.

Now on the PS4 what you are suggesting could be valid for Gaikai streamed games.
 
Why would I spend anything on PSN now knowing that nothing is backwards compatible with the PS4?
That's what I was thinking too. I have $50 in my wallet, so for me it's either another year of PS+ or games, since I can't get the money back. I'm going to wait until March to buy PS+, get the extra 3months and also the bonus $10.

Does it count if I already have the funds in my wallet?
Yes. You're good.

The service might be. But, we still own the license to these games. Say you purchase Bioshock from PSN. I'm sure Sony will figure out a way for you to reclaim that game through Gakkai. If Sony utilizes Gakkai this whole debat becomes moot.

This is the perfect opportunity to get PS+ until 2015. :p I figure I wouldn't have much of a problem getting the other 50$, since I am waiting for a couple of sale on PSN/Vita/PSP games. I wouldn't be surprised if we get another 10$ from Sony out of nowhere near the end of the year.

Awesome! I'll get Darkstalkers Resurrection, Okami HD, Chrono Cross, and one of the games that go on sale from the PSN awards.

Knowing Sony though, the ability to re-utilize the stuff you bought from PSN for the PS4 won't be active until like 1 year after the PS4 gets released.

Honestly people, upgrade your HDD to 1 TB, and dl all the stuff in your download list that you want, yeesh.

For games they are still going to buy!

Hey "logic guys" don't forget to spend an extra cent to reach the $50 and get your rebate

It is a great option for me
 
Atelier Digital?

Holy shit now I don't feel the need to buy day one because I'll never get a copy.

This is where digital distribution makes me happy.

No it doesn't. People aren't going to be intersted in paying a monthly fee to play games they already own with the benefit of input lag.

Hmm, I almost forgot about Darkstalkers Resurrection. There's some good stuff which I'm interested in so $100 shouldn't be much of a problem when I still have money from Sony in my wallet. :p I hope Okami HD can go on sale soon enough as I still have my PS2 copy so I'm not paying $20 for it.

Beware. PS+ 12 months membership is 49.99$, so you have to buy something else with it.

We are counting solo Plus 12 month sub purchases as $50. so you won't have to worry if you're total is 49.99, you'll be set. But that only goes for Plus 12 month sub purchases. I can't speak for other purchases that may be $49.99. Hope that helps!
 
Sometimes I click to see the hidden messages that are on my ignore list by curiosity and it never disappoints.
Wow, I wonder what I did to rile you up.

In any case, I'll still be buying stuff off PSN, just thought I would point it out that theyve sort removed some wind for the sails of that boat with their future console plans.

bad gameplay lol
I hate that they announce this shit on the day it takes effect. I just spent $30 on The Pinball Arcade and a bunch of DLC for it yesterday. =/

That's nice. Will we ever get Colony Wars on PSN?
