The web store?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't think of any examples of Namco doing a GOTY/Ultimate Edition of any of their games. So that seems like an unlikely thing to occur.

The controller should look like a DS3 with dreamcast/wiiu touchscreen built in. I'd also not put it past them to rip off the kinect in some way.

Aaaaaand not a single thing you said is a confirmed fact. All rumors and speculation.

And flash memory is so cheap these days, there really is no excuse for there to be NO onboard memory for game saves. The MSRP price announcement was a bit of a bait-and-switch.

"Oh, you wanted to PLAY the Vita for $250? Nah, sorry."

I can't tell if you're denying the existence of the Prepare to Die edition (which is wrong) or saying that Namco doesn't re-release games in the US (which is right).

The Top-Selling PSN Content for January 2013:

2013 is already onto a great start. Exploring the unknown and painting the world with depth via black paint, The Unfinished Swan takes the lead for the top PS3 & PSN sellers for January. This highly unusual and unforgettable game is both absorbing, and gorgeous in its subtlety. Other titles of note include Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, Far Cry 3, TOKYO JUNGLE — all spectacular examples of their individual genres. Zooming into hearts and top 10 in a couple of the lists is LittleBigPlanet Karting — a whimsical take on the standard kart game, completely full of fun that only Sackboy and friends can provide. Among the Add-ons and DLC, there’s no surprise that Call of Duty: Black Ops II’s Season Pass blasts all the way to #1, with Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt from Borderlands 2 coming in a near 2nd place. Curious to see which games European players are picking up? Head over to the EU PS.Blog to see their top sellers.

Looks like the 13 for '13 sale had a big effect on the list with at least most of them making their respective lists, if not all of them.

Rocketbirds: Hard-Boiled Chicken is out for Vita next week. Owners of the PS3 version will get a discount on the Vita version along with a new Budgie for the co-op mode. Players of the PS3 demo unlock a different Budgie for the Vita version.

If you want to learn a little bit more about Aqua Kitty, which is free for the next week for PSM devices.

I'm saying that I can't recall Namco re-releasing games with all of the DLC, which are typically labeled as GOTY or Ultimate/Complete Editions. I know they released Dark Souls on the PC with extra content, but I've yet to see anything about it coming to PS3/Xbox 360 and I don't see a history of re-releases to suggest that it's likely to happen.

And that's where you're wrong. The Prepare to Die edition (or 'with Artorias of the Abyss' version) was released on both ps3 and 360 in Japan and Europe. A US version wouldn't be that outrageous.

EU and Jap get all kinds of things that the US doesn't... I would take the length of time since those came out to be a good sign that we won't be getting them. It's been since Oct and we haven't even heard a rumor about it? I'm going to say it's pretty much a sure bet that we won't get them.

Good call, didn't think of that.

Only issue is it doesn't work on most devices, including the iPad.

Why not come out and say that instead of being a jerk about it? I said I might have missed something since I haven't paid much attention to the game at all.

I would hold on to the vanilla edition, so much fun with the base unpatched game like Bottomless Box glitching, item cloning, infinite humanities, etc.

No big surprise to see that the deep discounts helped spur big sales numbers. Hopefully that encourages them to do more.

I really enjoyed Rocketbirds on the PS3, I never got a chance to do the co-op campaign though. Depending on what the discount is, I may be tempted to re-buy it.

i really, really wish broken destiny was cheaper

19.99 is a joke

Not sure if serious but doesn't that kills the whole Dark Souls experience?

Some people are scared of challenges.

Totally agree.

Caved on FF4 Complete and Dissidia 012. Have a bunch of GS credit, and $10 each seems like the right price to get them on my Vita. And dang do the fancy new sprites in FF4 look nice on the Vita's screen!

The only thing I can't believe is that I'm interested in playing yet another iteration of this game. SNES, GBA, DS 3D remake, and I'm pretty sure I played the PSX port of the SNES cart, too. Oh well!

Really wish FF6 would get some love. Even a high-res version of FF6 ala the PSP FF4 Complete would be an instant purchase.

So, this has probably been asked many times, but just wanted to make sure:

All of the FF games are self contained and can therefore be played in any order, correct?

Thanks

Considering the universal acclaim for FF6, it's rather shocking how little they've done with the FF6 game in terms of remakes/spin-offs and such.

Yup. play in any order but I would play in order just so it feels like the graphics are getting better and better.
