Yes.

You're stuck with it forever. If I wanted a physical copy, I'd go to Best Buy, pay the exact same $59.99, get one of the first 3 movies on blu-ray for free with it, get $10 off the new movie in theaters (comes with the blu-ray), not waste hard drive space, and be able to sell the game if I don't like it. It makes no sense to buy digital in this case. It's not even just release week with bonuses like the blu-ray. I guarantee this game won't go on sale digitally for AT LEAST 3 months. I'll definitely be able to find a physical copy for $40, or maybe even less, within a month and a half.

You're preaching to the choir man. I'm glad the digital version is available for those that want it, but no way in hell do I buy those games unless their at DEEP discounts (e.g. Burnout+DLC for $8, PoP Forgotten Sands on Xbox for $5)

Well Tyler I'm a Vita owner since launch and own 12 games. It's a great system but there are some titles that are downloadable only that have caught my eye. I'm not one to complain about Vita sales on the PSN. Don't get me wrong they would be nice to see.

I think people have gotten spoiled by PS+ cause of release day games free. Some people feel entitled to get all the new release stuff cheap. Since Sony doesn't feel the need to put Vita games on sale they must feel they are making enough.

As I feel the same as you with digital games and purchasing them only when they drop on the store. I know I will be waiting for a while for certain sales but have other games to play until the sale happens.

It's very fun, but challenging without a group. Also somewhat repetitive and the controls can be a pain.

spiderman on psn is only $30 each if you have a game sharing friend.

Don't get me started on Sony lowering the number of PS3s you could share your stuff with from 5 to TWO. I guess Sony figures you won't ever have more than 2 PS3's so you don't need the three extra slots.

they probably figure if you can afford to own more than two you can afford to buy their content more than once. you can switch which ps3 systems have your content with ease though, just not running at the same time.

kinda like how my family pool pass doesnt include my uncle and nephew etc

Why not? Because it ruined game sharing? The amount of households that have more than 2 PS3s is probably less than 1% of households with a PS3.

aww pac-man's not on the list, that suxs, i wanted to keep that game but just have it tied to ps plus.

I've been watching this topic closely for a while now and it's great. Thanks for keeping all of the deals so organized! I finally got a PS3 again after 3 or 4 years and it's the Uncharted 3 bundle.

I'm grabbing the 12 free PS+ games, but the downloads are crazy slow. I forwarded all the suggested ports and think that might have fixed it, but I can't check right now because I'm installed Saint's Row 2, which has been installing for about 15 minutes or so. What's the typical install speed and are downloads generally slow from PSN? I have a terrible memory and I can't remember if that is normal or not.

I hope y'all don't mind me asking that here. I figured at least some of you have grabbed that game from PS+ and installed it and would be knowledgeable in that department. Thanks again.

if you're doing what i think you're doing is gonna take forever, how do you expect to use the hard drive for download and install at the same and still want faster installation, your HDD is working at its max writing the data you're downloading and the one you're installing, i recommend wait until everything is downloaded and after that proceed to install everything

I actually had 3 at one point myself. So it would've been nice to be able to share across all three of those plus the one my buddies' brother in law has and still have a slot left over.

I've heard that installs are slower when you're downloading stuff, so you could simplify things by turning on automatic update to let the PS3 turn on during the night to install the games for you.

You almost never buy a game over $10 but you have three PS3s?

Thanks dEvAnGeL and FriskyTanuki, that makes sense. I'll give it a shot.

I remember the first time it installed for me, amd didn't realize it would. Envisioned little gremelins in the middle of the night doing gaming sessions after stealing one sock from the dryer

lol.. press Start during the Puzzle Fighter demo and you'll see "Achievements" on the menu. Do the same on the full version of the game and it's mysteriously gone. I was looking forward to trying for those achievements, even if they were in-game-only, damn.

Either way, great game!

One's a 60gb I paid $40 for from someone selling it to a local shop, a second one I had was my original PS3 slim 120gb that I sold to a buddy a year or so ago and my current 160gb model from Amazon's Warehouse Deals.

I also used to have a 40gb, but I traded that in towards the 120gb slim.
