Not likely, it probably won't win anyway. (probably on the sale because it's far behind)

I'm glad I have NA Plus over EU.

That's like saying we shouldn't get a sale on a game because it's already been on sale on XBLA or Steam.

Anyone who wants PvZ probably has it on at least two platforms by now. While it's explicitly better than nothing and I'll still tie it to my account, I'm far from excited.

I voted for it.

Don't even talk about the shitty iPhone/iPod Touch/Android versions that offer a fraction of the content of the console/PC versions. Any comparison to those versions doesn't count because of the huge difference in quality.

Where is it free to play for the browser version? The only ones I've seen are demos that require $10-$15 for the full game, so that doesn't really count against it.

The Vita version is only a year old, it's better than the PS3 version with a Platinum trophy, and is still a great game that people should play. The only good versions of the game are on console and PC, so the only issues I see are from the PS3 version being offered for free and if you got the PC version for cheap/free. Though I've played through the game on five platforms now for a total of at least 15-20 times, which is still a ton of fun each time.

Are either of these worth the sale price? I know both got poor reviews, but are they worth sub-$10 or just avoid altogether? I am wondering if the reviews were based on expectations and not the actual end result (especially for ModNation).

Little Deviants - $12.59 PSN - $8.81 PS+
ModNation Racers: Road Trip - $13.99 PSN - $9.79 PS+

Little Deviants has a demo, so you could try that. It's just a minigame collection of stuff to show off the Vita's various control options.

If you want a good kart racing game on Vita, Sonic is the best one out there. ModNation isn't as good as it should be.

Persona 2 Eternal Punishment confirmed to be $9.99.

Well, considering it's Atlus, it'll probably be $4.99 soon enough.

As did I, no worry now since it's going on sale anyway.

Thanks, I didn't think to check for a demo of Little Deviants. I wish there was a consistent demo for all digital items like Xbox Live (or at least a consistent criteria for when a demo is available).

Would have liked book of memories to go on sale, i was under the impression that game didn't do all that well but the price is still too high. Also the mgs hd collection would have been cool.

A lot of those games on sale for the anniversary, vita owners who have had the system since the start probably own them, just because there weren't many offerings. But i guess they gotta save some stuff for later on.

This is my problem with most of these choices... I'm sick of heavily discounted games or free games that we're getting again. Don't get me wrong. I prefer heavily discounted games that were fantastic to crappy games almost noone wanted anyway. PvZ is an almost 4 year old PC port... This isn't something we should be clambering for more of.

Lol. I was hoping it would cost a bit less, but $10 is still a great price. I'm just glad they got one of the versions on the PSN. Better than nothing, really.

Pretty lame. I like P2 just fine and think it's an overlooked classic, but they know darn well this should be at the $5.99 price point and not the premium $10 point like FFVII, Resident Evil, etc. If this game was so great it wouldn't have taken 7 years to see another one

It's pretty good but has a really bad localization(iffy translation, cut content). Really shouldn't be $10 for a shoddy rerelease. Still much better than prices for the physical version on ebay/amazon/etc though.

If you want Reality Fighters on the cheap, it's $8 at Target.com.

i got mgs hd collection a while back when it was on sale for 17something, funny thing is i bought hot shots golf that same week for 6 or 7 bucks, now its only sale for more than twice that as an "anniversary" sale. but i agree with you, silent hill is suppose to be so bad, but you cant find it anywhere for under 30 bucks

Thanks Frisky. With a Target RedCard, this would have been a much better deal for me than the digital version. However, it forced me to look up the reviews right now, and Reality Fighters sounds pretty terrible. I think I'll pass.

That's Silent Hill fans mostly who say that though. Usually I hear it's competent action-RPG if not all that great. I'm waiting for it to drop to 20 because I enjoy a dungeon crawler now and then.

I liked the demo a lot. But then again, I'm not really a Silent Hill fan, so take that into account.
