(NA) PSN Flash Sale: Surgeon Simulator $0.91 and more (ends 3/23)

Why do people want to buy digital games that they already have through PS+? This has always confused me. They're digital - you don't own shit anyway.
 
Got

Megaman x4/x5
Dino crisis 1/2
Gravity daze
Surgeon simulator

All less than 6 bucks

And considering i almost broughy x4/x5 for 12 bucks

Im pretty pleased
 
Let me preface this statement by saying this: Sale is amazing. Go get 'em boys.

Now, what is the thought process that goes into clearance-like [and even better] pricing for digital games? They're clearly not taking up any precious shelf room...

Surely the publishers/developers can't be getting much for the sales? Or how does DD content work anyway? Does Sony pay upfront $xxx for XXXX copies of a game then just sell at will and profiting majorly upfront? I'm assuming they've calculated that they're past their "net profit" point, if the aforementioned model is correct, so selling games for $0.90 is all profit at this point?

We put Cthulhu Saves the World on Steam on sale for under $0.50 recently. On a normal non-sale week, we might sell a few hundred copies, maybe even over a thousand. During the week that it was on sale, we sold tens of thousands of copies. So yeah, admittedly, you're not making much per sale, but when the quantity goes up so drastically, you're making a lot more money than you would have otherwise.

I have never played Klonoa worth it to try?

Hell yes! OK here's a quick solution for you: Buy ALL the PSOne games on sale ;D

according to 'the list'
https://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/281768-complete-list-of-pspminispsone-games-playable-on-vita/

star wars battlefront 2 can be transferred to vita from ps3.
so can kurulin fusion which appears to be sort of a tetris-y type game.


Has anyone played Soviet Strike or Nuclear Strike PS1? do either hold up? i read some reviews of SS and it got great reviews back then.

How good is Battlefront 2 on PSP? Might be tempted if that's the case
 
Ended up buying:
Klonoa
BOF4
MMX4
MMX5
Surgeon Simulator
Sam and Max: Time and Space

Would have bought, but already own:
Dino Crisis 1 and 2
Monkey Island
TM: Black

Ridiculous sale!
 
Picked up Breath of Fire IV, Katamari Damacy, Klonoa (mostly based on recommendations here) and Gravity Rush (we have a Vita TV, figured it was worth getting for whenever we finally get a physical Vita). Crazy deals, we already had just about all the other crazy good ones. Mildly tempted to get Pac-Man DX, but I already have it with all the DLC on 360 and PC so eh.
 
Guys, instead of asking if stuff is playable, just go to the link in the OP. Everything the game is compatible with is in the listing of the game. The only thing not listed is PS TV compatibility, and if that's what you're asking, you need to clearly ask that, because some things that are playable on the Vita isn't on the PS TV (such as the Mega Man games on sale)
 
Was about to pick up Surgeon Simulator, then I saw how difficult its platinum is..

Nope.
 
Wow how'd I just see this, these prices.. damn.
No excuse to jump into some of these PS1 RPGs I've been wanting to play.. let's see.


  • Breath of Fire IV (do i need to play the previous games?)
  • Wild Arms (should I also get 2?)
 
Klonoa and BoF are good.

Cool. :) Just waiting on Mega Man X4 and X5.

Also, I'm looking at the PSP lot, in particular Battlefront 2 and Dispicable Me (I remember it getting good reception). Are those Vita-compatible? I might just save my dollars.

Right now the cart has:

Katamari
Pac-Man CE DX
Breath of Fire 4
Tokyo Jungle
Klonoa
Mega Man X4
Nobi Nobi Boy
Galaga Legions DX
Echochrome

I have just enough for one more.

Edit:

yes at least for X4 and X5

Great! Thanks! :)

Edit: Bought the list. :)

FYI I have pretty much all the other stuff on there from an earlier flash sale. I also too have Gravity Rush via PS+ so I can't just buy it for keeps. :(

BoF games are like FF, you can play them in any order. And BoF IV is one of the best.
Wild Arms 1 is amazing too but I have not played 2 yet. really great classic RPG in a unique setting.

You don't need to play past Breath of Fire games.

Dude, it's 96 cents. How is it a question of whether to get it or not?
 
Amazing deals. I bit on:


Tekken 2
Dino Crisis
Dino Crisis 2
Katamari Damacy
Breath of Fire IV
Cloudberry Kingdom
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

All for about 7 bucks. Insane.

Anyone who doesn't have TOKYO JUNGLE: get it.

I loved the strike games back in the day and bought them again soon after I got my Vita. For me they didn't hold up very well. I probably spent about 20 minutes and then quit. I regretted paying $7.99 (i think) for them but it would be far easier to recommend them at this price.
 
So how badly has Fighting Force 1 aged? For reals I had 1 and 2 as a kid but never got far into them outside of using cheat codes haha.

How are those Mega Man X games? Never played any of the X games except the first one.

X4 and X5 are good, get in on dat ish brah!
