i second guess on every purchase lately unless super cheap. I bought Quantum Conundrum for $15 a week before it was ps+ free for that 20 back with $100 spent deal. I didnt buy any of the sega sale games or the toe jam n earl games because sega has a record of ps+ freebies, tho most of those were day 1. I just bought sunflowers for my kids to play on my vita for $4 and i told them all, this will be free within 3 months, lol. that is life. can't complain about free stuff anyway. all the deals/cloud/auto sync is worth it and the freebies are just super icing.

To me, it varies by game. I'm not going to buy games like the new Ratchet & Clank or LBP titles because I fully expect them to be offered free by PS+ eventually. I do however feel okay about buying more 3rd party, niche titles like Persona 4 Golden.

No it's not. But it's $5 cheaper than than on Xbox, if that means anything to ya.

Their entire game library was on sale not too long ago. I wouldn't put it past them to have a discount on the download version.

Any opinions on Growlanser?

The combat takes some time to get used to but the if you like a game with branching paths and choices, you should like this one.

Worth noting that the english version of the game doesn't have any voice acting outside of FMVs where as the JPN version had voice work all over the place.

It's a silly name for a game.

Yeah, I like branching paths, plus I heard it had some dating sim elements in it too. Can't really resist a fairly new RPG for half off, now I just wish they'd discount Gungir and a few others.

How often do the free PS+ games rotate out? I have one month of PS+ I'd like to use on Dec 20th (my break) for Uncharted and Gravity rush but if I must I can use the code earlier to lock them in.

The general consensus is that the games in the current IGC for Vita will last at least until the end of this year. But you'll know when a game is being taken off PS+ one week ahead of time, just check under the expiring soon section of the PS store or the Update post.

After about ten days, I've finally finished redownloading all of my PSN games to my new 1 TB HDD, which ended up with about 320 games that take up about 500GB of space. I ended up splitting up my PS+ folder into folders for each group of games I've gotten (Minis, PS1, PSN, PS3).

It looks like Ratchet & Clank: FFA uses the All 4 One art style rather than the more classic style from the prior games.

I'm not just interested in PSX games mind you, more in what prices (of downloadable games) gamestop has to offer vs PSN. Thanks for all your effort!

I just sorted by prices and saw if any of them were below the standard $5.99 price and the two that were in the OP were regularly amongst the top PSN purchases on their site. It does seem like they updated the prices for Crash Bandicoot and Jet Moto 2 back to their regular prices, so I removed them now. The others seem to still be the same.

I'm looking at you Walking Dead.

I agree. It's the very reason I'm not buying either ToeJam & Earl game.
The last time I bought all of the $5 Sega Vintage Classics they gave them all away within a month or so.

I have a feeling we will be seeing more Creat games offered for free.
I've been staying away from PinballTastik.

What this guy said. Once in a lifetime experience that one.

Seconded.
