Actually, they do have that...for free...but it's only available to their employees. I think they're calling the program "layoffs".

EDIT: Ah, nevermind, I scrolled down further and saw that there's Foosball 2012 Demo, and Foosball 2012 Vita, so I guess the first one is the PS3 version. It still says Vita above the title in small text, so that threw me off.

I had the same exact confusion. The header text always says "PS Vita" even though apparently the Demo is the PS3 version.

I started Unfinished Swan today without really reading anything about the game and was really pleased with how different it feels. The feel of it is like Portal or Minecraft to me but really not at all in terms of gameplay. A little bit of Flower. It's tough to describe. The story is charming and touching so far as a parent. I love that the soundtrack sounds just like Brian Eno.

Here's a link to the 15 months of PS+ for $49.99 deal on the PS Store. It'll last until 3/4/13, so you don't have to rush to get in on it.

Good looks Frisky. This is the original deal they had for plus when I signed up and even though I'm not close to expiring I'll probably end up adding another 15 months before the deal ends.

That PS+ sub deal is tempting, and the offer last til March when my sub runs out! Perfect timing!

Thanks for the heads up!

I already got Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed, but I'm so tempted to get LBPK. Something about being able to get Deadpool in a Karting game just hypnotizes me.

I'll jump on this when I get more money.

They're really two different games with different feels. Sonic is more traditional karting (and is definitely the better game in the kart racing area), while LBPK feels more like a LBP game...play through levels in the story, emphasis on collecting prize bubbles, some minigames and different gameplay types (battle mode, a "capture the flag" type mode) to mix things up, and, of course, customization. I'd say they're different enough that they're both worth having.

That's infuriating. I hope that going forward companies are doing more to license songs to cover both the original release of a game and the possibility of subsequent (or simultaneous) digital releases.

Yeah, it won't make GTA VC any better or worse in any meaningful way but it just seems like the game is somehow less complete when things like this happen. There was a certain vision for the title and now it is compromised.

I'm trying to pick up Mega Man 9 for free, but I own Mega Man 10 so it will not allow me to add the free package of the two games to my cart. Are there any workarounds for this?

Rockstar probably had no idea that people would still be interested in GTA VC 10 years after it's original PS2 release, so why would they want to pay extra money to have licenses last longer/cover more than what they thought would be necessary at the time?

Sometimes it's the artist/rights holder's fault. Whoever currently owns the rights to Michael Jackson's music has a lot of power and can sell shorter licenses for more money.

From what others have said, you can get MM9 or 10 for free if you go to that individual game's product page if you already own one of the games.

Regarding LBP karting. My son bought it and I played it a little with them yesterday. The karting is pretty weak in comparison to Mario Kart. The game feels slow and a bit dull. However he likes the game and especially the ability to create tracks and download tracks. So if your in this for a good karting game, I don't think you want it. If you like the idea of creating tracks and such, you may have fun with it.

iv got ps+ til july 2016... i think im good
thanx frisky for your great thread.

You'll have to get Mega Man 9 by itself. Link to Mega Man 9 marked free for PS+ members


I love that we can finally link to stuff in the store.

nothing this time around

How the hell?

Also what's the chances Okami HD is gonna see $10 or less?

Also also, I'm tempted for the PS+ thing but I don't know I'd play the free games. I've only had my PS3 for 2 months now but I've only gotten maybe 1 free game I'd actually play.

Also also also, can you still use PS+ trials to extend your time if you are paid? Thanks!

A lot of CAGs got a year of PS+ from a misprint in a Target ad. It was supposed to be $14.99 for a 3 month subscription but the ad showed the year card.
