Keeps asking me to download an update every time I try to download a purchase. Edit: Any PSN comic book recommendations? Currently, trying to get all the free comics onto my download history. I won't have time to read/preview any of the freebies until it is too late. I'm guessing there will be other venues of accessing the big named comic book companies like Archie, DC, Marvel, etc. I'm trying to find/get all the comics that won't be easily available.

You won't be able to re-download your comics after mid-January. They're completely removing them. Get all the free ones you want, but I certainly wouldn't spend any money on a dead format, especially with scanned comics so prolific on the 'net.

Mega Man 9 - $9.99
Mega Man 10 - $9.99
Hardcorps: Uprising + Add-On Characters - $22.48
Resident Evil Code: Veronica X HD - $19.99
God Hand - $9.99
Double Dragon Neon - $9.99
Okami HD - $19.99

Total - $102.42

There are other games I want as well; but these are the ones that I see myself playing the soonest out of all the ones I want. I know Mega Man 9 & 10 have been out awhile and I think I might remember there being a sale at some point on 9 at least; but I'm not 100% sure. Hardcorps has only been out about a year and a half now I think; but that's something I'm pretty sure I'd play immediately because I played it some over at my friend's house who owns it, I enjoyed it and he and another friend still play it online. Code Veronica X and God Hand have only been out for around a year I think so I'm a little hesitant on those. I'm even more hesitant with God Hand since they haven't done any price drops on PS2 Classics yet that I know of and since they have with plenty of PS1 Classics I could see that possibly happening at some point. Double Dragon Neon is pretty much brand spanking new but I downloaded it for free with my PS+ trial that ended last Friday, I really enjoyed it and it will be even more fun if/when they release that online co-op patch I heard about. And then with Okami HD, I've been itching to play Okami with its original controls (i.e. not horrible motion controls) for quite sometime so I think that I would play that pretty soon after purchasing.

But anyway like I said before, it's highly probable that I could have missed sales on these before I started checking weekly and still probable even since I started checking weekly, given that I seem have some sort of advanced, mutated super adhd that leads to me just skip right over items in a list way more than I should. So if I'm listing stuff that's already been on sale and/or likely to be on sale in the future aside from DDN and Okami, please let me know. Thanks.

I know for sure hard corps was free for psn+ and double dragon currently is. I'd rethink your list and just get psn+, that's just my opinion though

Ya pretty much everything you listed has been on sale before, and probably will again (maybe not God Hand or the Hard Corps DLC, and those Mega Man games have been stubborn in dropping).

I didn't realize you weren't PS+. I'd 100% vouch for signing up for that, but if you're just not interested you might as well buy whatever you want. The biggest discount you'll probably ever see on most of those is 30%. They've really crippled the non-PS+ deals since PS+ came around.

If anyone's interested, I have a 16GB and an 8GB PS Vita memory card that I'm getting rid of. Details are here: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=329448

I was about to suggest the same... Playstation Plus FTW.

PS Plus games for 'Free' are actually more expensive... Here is how:

Example scenario 1: No PS Plus, Double Dragon is $10. Pay once and play it whenever you want.

Example scenario 2: Yes PS Plus, Double Dragon is $4 a month, forever. If you quit PS Plus, you lose the game.


Look, I used to have PS Plus ... And I love me some PS3, and unless they changed the 'quit and you lose it' thing, the only thing PS+ is good for is discounts on games and DLC -- not 'free' games.

Sure, if Double Dragon is the only game you want...

This is about as bad as it gets for PS+ Valuation

Your logic is bad and you should feel bad.

I only have a PS+ subscription for Digger HD. So far, it's been the most expensive game I've ever bought.

I'm not flaming or trolling or whatever... I LOVE ps3, I promise. I wanted to love Ps+ when I had it. The discounts added up occasionally, -3 here, -2 there...

Couldn't you say you pay an eternal monthly fee on all your free games, not just Double Dragon? Convince me, seriously. And I'm too old for crabby responses.

I like this math, since it took me a bit to realize it only equates if you count double dragon as the only value for a full year of plus. Since I am bored, I will point out your one flaw. If there is one game you want per 3 months, then you're almost breaking even. With 12 games up front, Vita support in the future, 1 - 3 games added a month, avatars and themes for free, discounts and sales, you're bound to break even at SOME point in the year.

If there was a "I want to quit Ps plus but want to keep some of these freebie games" fee, I would pay it. Like, keep X of these free games for Y dollars.

I'm a day one + subscriber and I think I've actually come out ahead so far.

Example Scenario 2 - you'll have to "show your work" to get credit and a good grade, your inputs seem totally incorrect.

Nobody has even addressed my ONLY issue, the 'free' games and the option to keep them. 3 dollar discounts I liked, free avatars are nice, early demos are fine.

GT, How many games would you lose if you we're to quit Ps+?

Nlks isn't a sequel I don't think...

Yes, you pay an eternal monthly fee on all your free games. The point is, as the games add up, the eternal monthly fee becomes pennies per month per game. It's not $4 a month to keep a game. It's $4 a month to keep every game you've ever downloaded while you've been with Plus.

face it blink u are wrong

Where do you get $4 month from? Dividing the ps+ subscription cost by 1 game? That's bad logic man. Divide the cost by all the games you get in a year and you're looking at less than $1 for your one year rental. Try to rent a game anywhere else for $1/year.

Double dragon neon is not a game i need to own for life. Anyways, who's to say if you buy it outright (your just buying a license to the game btw) that you'll still be able to play it 10-20 years down the road.

I get your point and it's valid to a degree. Not starting a debate but concerned purchasers should see both sides of the debate
