The OP lists FFX/X-2 HD as on sale for the PS3, but I only see it on sale for the Vita. Is it a mistake?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I hated the demo for Fist of the North Star 1. Is the second particularly different or improved?

And, as much as I've heard from a few gaffers that LP3 is underrated, it's the kind of game where I'd need to play a demo first.

It's more of a larger horde brawler compared to Ken's Rage 1. It also has a much needed dodge move and you generally move a lot faster compared to KR1. Apart from those improvements/changes, it's pretty much the same as KR1.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

so can I get FFXIV: RR on PS3 at this ridiculously low price, install it on my ps3 and then upgrade to the ps4 version for free?

yes

 

[FerranMG]

Not the same. With FF7 you are buying a PSone game that runs on all devices with PSone emulation capability, PS3, Vita and PSP.
With cross-buy you are getting to different versions of the same game for the price of one.

Cool, thanks for the info.

 

[Reckoner]

This time I'll definitely get Ni No Kuni. Was holding for a possible Plus release, but I see it is probably going to take some time. 5 euros for that game is like nothing anyway.

 

[Whitebison]

I'm tempted with Lost Planet 3...

the thing is the game is 10,79€ so I have to add 15€ because of that 0.79€ damn...

 

[RoadHazard]

Hmmm, might pick up Demon's Souls. Currently playing Dark Souls and really enjoying it. Yeah, I know I'm doing them in the wrong order, but eh!

 

[Xeno_V]

Does it make sense to have 2nd thoughts about the price of FFX / X2 for Vita?
The price is definitely reasonable as we are talking about a recent release, but knowing that the retail version costs around 25 EUR is making me have some 2nd thoughts.

 

[Xeno_V]

I paid 30 quid for it on PSN a couple of weeks ago.
No regrets, its gorgeous, and I never got the chance to complete it back in the day.

I have finished both games btw and I won't replay them asap, but I would like to have them and also see them remastered some time later..
It's funny btw that as many people here I went through the PAL FFX version and I didn't even think back then that this was not how the games was supposed to run. Thankfully the 50hz days are a thing of the past now.

 

[OgTheClever]

Anyone know why the FFX/X-2 deal isn't coming up on PS3? I can only see the Vita one.

I hope it's just an oversight. FFX on PS3 is the only thing I want from this sale.

 

[Deband]

Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix or the PS1 version? One of the best falling puzzle gamess, and a lot of fun with friends too.

The HD remix one, that's the one going to be on sale, right?

 

[eddfromtheriver]

I want a big PSN sale in Japan.

I know right?, oh no... i meant i want a big in Japan sale for the US PSN Store...

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Persona 2/3 still £40? Wha gwan?

And missing image on Vita store for the Big in Japan section lol

Edit:

I'm a can't-read-for-toffee fool

Yeah, seeing some stuff go live early raised my hopes falsely, darn.

FFX in particular was atrocious, huge black borders that completely messed up the aspect ratio.
This remaster is twice as valuable for people that had to endure that atrocity.
In hindsight it's unbelievable what we had to deal with for so many years.

 

[Fezan]

ok guys i gave up to hype and bought Ni no Kuni. Lets see what the fuss is all about

 

[Zhao_Yun]

I know right?, oh no... i meant i want a big in Japan sale for the US PSN Store...

Didn't you had one in May during Golden Week?

 

[Dragon1893]

For that price it's worth it for the visuals alone.
It's a great game but the terrible companion AI and some difficulty spikes will test your patience.

 

[dock]

Namco Fighter Collection
Was €29.99/AU$39.95/£19.99, now €14.99/AU$17.95/£7.99

Tales of Graces f
Was €29.99/AU$44.95/£24.99, now €9.99/AU$26.95/£14.99

Both prices are wrong.
Namco fighting collection = £10.99
Tales of graces f = £7.99

Not sure about other prices

 

[mrklaw]

Hmmm, might pick up Demon's Souls. Currently playing Dark Souls and really enjoying it. Yeah, I know I'm doing them in the wrong order, but eh!

Never finished demon souls after accidentally attacking someone in the nexus and they wouldn't stop chasing me, so I gave up. I skipped dark souls II so I could go back to this instead.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Ninokuni, ToX, ToGf and ToS HD for 35€ - not bad, not bad.

Now i need time.

Why is Zone of the Ender 2nd Runner cheaper than the first game ? Did they screw up the port ?

 

[mktrOOp]

What is the difference between MM10 and MM10 complete?
Which is the better game? MM9 or MM10?

 

[dock]

The store has crashed for me 4 times.

I have a bad track record with not finishing RPGs, but I always want the Tales games!

I am not a jrpg guy but lets see what happens

 

[cw_sasuke]

MM 10 includes all DLC, at this price buying the regular edition would be dumb.

 

[d00d3n]

The OP lists FFX/X-2 HD as on sale for the PS3, but I only see it on sale for the Vita. Is it a mistake?

I am also wondering this ... I do have a Vita, but would prefer to buy on PS3.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

Didn't you had one in May during Golden Week?

If we did i sure don't remember it being nowhere as good as this one...

 

[mktrOOp]

MM 10 includes all DLC, at this price buying the regular edition would be dumb.

Oh cool, I didn't know that MM10 has DLC. Now I'll have to decide which Mega Man I want.

 

[Little Old Man]

Some of the games lack a PS+ discount then?

I've not even played my PS3 copy of FFX/X-2 and I'm tempted by the Vita version for pick up and play, but I'll pass for the time being, too much of a backlog to justify the cost.

Some excellent prices though!

 

[MUnited83]

Shinobido 2 not yet on sale, Lego Batman not yet on PS+. Goddamit.

 

[mrklaw]

EDF 2017 on vita is fantastic if you like your EDF games

 

[anderedna]

If we did i sure don't remember it being nowhere as good as this one...

There was. I'd say it was a good one. I picked up a couple of games on that week.

 

[JimmyRustler]

The OP lists FFX/X-2 HD as on sale for the PS3, but I only see it on sale for the Vita. Is it a mistake?

Yea, it is. I just booted my PS3 to notice that FFX deal is Vita only.... What a disapointment.

 

[Sordid]

Wow, time to snap up Ni no Kuni!

Edit: My wallet is only ~£1 short but I have to top up by at least £5 to buy the game. Wtf. Has it always been like this? I must've forgot if so

 

[Jucksalbe]

Oh cool, I didn't know that MM10 has DLC. Now I'll have to decide which Mega Man I want.

You want 9 (or both).

 

[MRORANGE]

This is actually a pretty good sale, got a lot of games to pick up from here.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Yea, it is. I just booted my PS3 to notice that FFX deal is Vita only.... What a disapointment.

Oh Sony come on... Maybe they forgot ?

 

[JP]

It's well worth the price and there's always been a £5 minimum, there are costs involved when companies accept payment by card so quite a few do this. Some don't but I think most do.

Not much in the sale that I don't already have, I've upgraded Virtua Fighter 5 to the Complete Edition, Dead or Alive 5 Core Fighters to the Ultimate Edition and Mega Man 10 to the Complete Edition. No new games, just a matter of tidying up the content for games I already had while the price was low.

Yeah it's pretty standard, has been around for a while now. Don't let it put you off Ni No Kuni though, it's a ridiculous price for what you're getting and you'll probably find something else to spend the £4 on at some point.

 

[Benzychenz]

Which DLC are you referring to? The Bladewolf and Jetstream ones should be free. Though, that could be a US thing. I'm not certain.

SCEA needs to work with publishers to get some of these deals. I'd buy MGS and FFX HD on sale here in a heartbeat.

Yeah, it's a US thing.

It'll cost me AUD$25 to get both right now, not worth it.

 

[Jacqli]

Is the portable version of Earth Defense Force any good? I already have it on 360, but at that price and on Vita...

 

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Damn. This one sale is leagues better than the Summer Sale here in the US.

Enjoy, you lucky Europeans!

 

[Kaybe]

It's great. I haven't played the 360 version but it runs really well and it's native resolution.
There's supposedly some new weapons and missions, and there's also a new character in the Vita version with its own set of weapons. And online co-op which I believe the original didn't have.

 

[mktrOOp]

Bah, I'm so pissed of. I wanted to redeem my 30 days trial PS+ code, but unfortunately it expired three months ago and right now I have to download a huge ass update to get to the PS store. This is why I hate the PS3/Xbox 360 generation, everything is so inconvinent.

Edit: It seems the first update was a PS3 system update. Now I have to download a 65MB update for the PS store, yikes.

 

[Jacqli]

Thank you! It sounds great. I have been watching some videos too and it seems the number of ants is large (I was worried about that after seeing Borderlands' port). And I have to say I did not play much the home console version, but I recall it has only local coop (which was very funny, I hope there are people on vita playing it).
You conviced me!

 

[Raonak]

fuuuck. a lot of good shit on there.

 

[Bishop89]

Is it only the vita version of ffx/x-2?

I guess that will decide which version I will be getting.

Also, why are there so many games with prices still not updated, such as the persona games.

Speaking of persona, Im kind of new to the series. Have only touched 1 + Golden, Are 2 & 3 closer to the first game or to Golden?

Not really a fan of the random encounters in the first game.

 

[Jintor]

Think FFX/X-2 will ever go any lower or end up on +?

Might grab it... but don't plan to play it for months... but I'd feel good knowing it's there ==;;

Because they're listed as going live on the 3rd, probably this afternoon (Evening where I am).

Persona 2 is closer to the original in gameplay. Persona 3 is very much like Persona 4.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Nah it's supposed to be the Vita AND the PS3 version, but i think they'll have to fix it, some RE are not discounted yet as well.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Demons Souls and ICO Classics.
