^Add all the items you want to your cart on PSN, then check out, and one of the funding options will be the exact amount you need. That's the only way I know how to do it.

If you're just checking out through the PSN store than yes, any amount over $5 will be added automatically at checkout and you won't be left with any change in your PSN wallet.

Aha! Thanks. Does anyone know if PayPal is available/working when you add funds via PSN? Also, I need help choosing between Psychonauts and the Unfinished Swan. I know that both offer unique experiences, and it appears that Psychonauts probably provides more bang for my buck. However, the uniqueness of the Unfinished Swan has me intrigued...

I thought I read somewhere that you have to add a minimum of $5 when you add funds to your account but that you could pick a specific amount beyond the $5 threshold. It looks like I'm getting three $2.50 games for sure (Nights, Warp, Machinarium) and possibly either Psychonauts or the Unfinished Swan. My total cost is either going to be $7.50, $10 or $11.25. I currently have a balance of $0.35 in my wallet, so I'd like to be able to add $7.15, $9.65 or $10.90 to my wallet so that I end up with $0 in my wallet after my purchases. Is it possible to do this? It doesn't appear that you can do this via SEN, but can you do this by adding funds via PSN? Thanks.

If you just go straight to your cart and hit purchase, it'll add the specific amount you need, as long as it's over 5 dollars, which in this case it is. I bought $17.50 worth of items and had 2 bucks left in my account and just hit purchase and it took out exactly $15.50 from my card so I didn't have to add $20.

OK, so that's confirmation for Jak. Anyone try LBP Karting yet? My purchase depends on disc-save compatibility (and yeah, I checked the other thread and no update from anyone yet). C'mon, someone must have done this!

Psychonauts is one of my favorite games of all time. It's got some clunky level design and the platforming isn't as tight as it could be, but the story and characters are fantastic and the writing is top-notch. If you've never played it, I'd go for that. At the same time, it's regularly this cheap on Steam, and in a better edition as it were; if that's an option I'd just wait and snag it for PC at some point in the future.

Amazing game. Bought it for $15 and thought it was worth every penny.

I'm not a PC gamer, so I have to get it for either the PS3 or 360. I know the Xbox version of Pyschonauts is better. I just don't know how realistic it is to expect that it would drop to 200 points at some point in the future.

Dangit. Two people in succession have nothing but praise for Psychonauts and the Unfinished Swan. I may have to cave and get both along with the other three games I mentioned...

Yeah, for crap's sake, people, just buy the damn thing and stop asking about it. $3.75 is a ing steal (I also paid $14.99 for it).

There has been constant praise of The Unfinished Swan since the list was announced on Monday, so people continuing to ask about it should just read back a bit.

I know that. I was just thinking of getting either TUS or Psychonauts. Now you guys have me thinking I need to get both.

Well, personally I'm passing on Psychonauts because I think I have the Xbox (if not also the PS2) disc somewhere. If it was a PSN release with trophy support I'd get it - but as an emulated PS2 game I'm passing, even at that price. I played the game a little back on the PS2 but never get near the end so I'd probably have given it a shot if it was a PSN game. As it is, I have Nights and Machinarium from this sale and will probably get Warp as well (and LBP Karting if anyone can confirm disc-save compatibility).

Or they can download the demo and see if they like it.

Are the Ratchet and Jak games the PS3 HD versions or the PS2 games?

I can't find this info on the PS Blog.

If it were me I'd say you can pass on psychonauts - I personally don't think it's aged all that well, but it's also something that sees sales more often that the average game. I haven't played TUS yet but I'm certainly curious (other than the reports of motion sickness which isn't all that exciting).

I'm beginning to lean that way now. I'm stuck in the clutches of Skyrim right now, and I can see myself taking a break from it to play Nights, Warp and Machinarium. Also, I can see myself taking a couple of hours off to play through a single run-through of the Unfinished Swan. However, I can't really see myself getting into Psychonauts especially when I have the J&D, R&C and Sly collections sitting in my backlog.

I thought $15 was a bit too much for the game, hoping for $10, so this seals it.

I don't get how the unfinished swan is getting such good reviews. I played the demo and it was really boring. Skimmed around some gameplay vids on youtube and it looks like the entire game is just firing blobs to make things appear... really don't get the appeal to that.
