Closure looks like a lot of fun and freebie days are always exciting. Why the heck would anyone want the weekly schedule to change?

I'm not seeing a lot of feedback on Derrick the Deathfin? The trailer looks neat and it's only $4. Does anyone have any thoughts on the full game?

I'm definitely tempted by the confusingly "new" fourth game called Alien Breed. I'm a sucker for classic games and I never played the original. $8 is still too high for me to bite on it for now. I'll wait for $5 or less and, judging from the path the other 3 have taken, I don't think I'll be waiting too long.

I had no idea that was there. Thanks for the heads-up!

Is there a direct link you are working from or are you just looking here:

Over a year now. They were pricematching an NIS sale in late 2011 and never readjusted the prices back to their normal prices.

could you link the thread you are talking about? i just checked the ps store and the disgaea psp downloads look like the same prices at gamestop. maybe i'm missing something.

Everyone swears VC2 works on the vita? I tried putting the demo on some 3 months ago by connecting the vita and couldn't get it to work.

It works - I've done it. Download through PS3 and transfer the application over.

It's on the first page of this thread. There is a link to the digital download copies for those prices on gamestop.com.

The demo will not transfer over but the full game will. I tried the same thing with the demo recently.

Is the Final Fantasy games still on sale, or was that a weekly sale?

I logged in last night well after the store updated for this week and the FF games were still on sale. I was on around 10pm ET.

End dates for the sale are generally listed in the op (if known) and/or marked with a red asterisk indicating they'll expire with the next update (as is the case with the FF sale). It's safe to assume the op is updated if the title is current. Because Frisky's a badass.

Call me blind, but I looked for the indicators and the ending date before posting and I didn't see it.

Two week sale on the FF stuff, folks. Ends with the next PSN Store update this Tuesday.

THIS. Thank you for answering my question.

Just finished La Pucelle Tactics (PS2) a couple of nights ago. Now that it's $9.99 on PSN, I would recommend it to any NIS fan.

It's no Disgaea, but it is still a pretty solid tactical RPG; I'd put it at a 7/10. Instead of creating characters, all characters you recruit are monsters you capture in battle, which is a nice change, but it leaves character customization a bit dry when you can't reincarnate and such. The story touches on some interesting themes (religion, blind faith, witch hunts, a full explanation of the enemy's motives rather than just being "evil"), but they could have done more to explore some of those themes.

Onto Makai Kingdom next...

No prob.

I keep waffling on if I want to pick up a few of these to play on the go and for the faster loading times even though I own them all on disc. So I'm really aware of when my time runs out.

No idea. Most the people who have suggested it said they're tired of "weekly disappointments" and would rather get it all out at once. Which is terrible logic. Maybe someone here can give a slightly better reason as to why they'd prefer monthly updates over weekly ones?

Derrick the Deathfin is a good amount of fun. There are about 32 short levels, where the goal is to get from the beginning to the end of the level without dying. You have a "Hunger Timer" that quickly drains, so you have to be eating other fish frequently or collecting gems, otherwise you'll die. Gems and flaming tires are the two collectibles in the game, and each level gives you a bronze/silver/gold rank after you complete it, so there is a little bit of replay value if you want to go for 100% of the trophies. I'd say it took me about 5 hours to 100% the game.

The controls are pretty decent, they just take a little getting used to. It's a cute, fun little game that I'd say is worth $4.

People want the monthly PS Plus update to evaluate whether they want to renew/buy a subscription. Still dumb, but i'm sure that's some of the logic behind it.

Derrick the Deathfin seems like it would have been a better fit on the Vita. It almost looks like a precursor to Tearaway.
