$35 worth of software for the price of admission (let's be honest, since you pay into Plus, it is *not* free) is quite nice, irrespective of whether or not you want the content.

Beats the hell out of whatever $3 'mini' they're giving you each time.

I will agree with this. I was not interested in this that much, but its a hell of an offering for plus. If Sony pulls off one or two big more things like that it justifies the price of plus(finally).

I prefer digital content myself, but 40 shipped is a good deal for those that prefer a physical copy of the game(s).

Plus, on PSN, with gamesharing, you can get it for 9 bucks a person.

Weren't the PS2 versions of the Splinter Cell games much worse than the Xbox versions?

So, I guess this is where we discuss Playstation Plus issues now, then? There used to be another thread for it and I just recently noticed I wasn't seeing it any more in my subbed threads. Without seeing it, I almost forgot to check for PS+ stuff the last few months. It was a complete surprise when I saw Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves show up there the other day - I didn't even know it existed let alone that it was free for PS+. That was awesome. Throw in Shatter from the month before, and the Sam & Max stuff now and PS+ has all of a sudden gotten very good to me after disappointing me for a while there.

Would anyone suggest buying the Mag DLC at half off? I just got the game cheap from Amazon over BF and wasn't sure if I'd ever play it but my son might. Is the DLC pretty critical for it? Like, if you don't have it you never get in games and such?

If you want the complete MAG experience...go for it. It's $2.50...

I'm really tempted to get the Marvel Pinball for $9.99 but is there a chance it could go on sale in a month or something?

It has to do with deals the retailers cut with the big 3, and their agreements not to sell outside of the EU.

Best bet is to find some retailer on Ebay and have them ship it to you in a good buy it now price. I did it with Disaster Day of Crisis for Wii, and a few other EU only games over the years.

Hmm I am really tempted to get a 3 month PS+ card now that Sam and Max are there. This way I can get that PS3 Replacement Plan for cheaper. Anyone know if the discounted MAG DLC is PS+ only or is it for anyone? Getting MAG either tonight or tomorrow and probably going to get the DLC.

I doubt it... content like that at least has to be three months old to drop.


I'm contemplating getting a PSN+ account, but I'm 50/50 on it honestly...

Ok , probably stupid question , but with Sam and Max season 3 , is it recommended or essential to have played seasons 1 and 2 to enjoy or understand season 3 or is each season pretty much completely stand alone?

I asked this in another topic and people said you can play Season 3 without playing 1 or 2 but you will miss out on some references. If you want to play S1 and 2 soon then keep an eye out at the steam sale that starts in the next few days. Last year I got the entire tell tale collection which included S&M, Monkey Island, Wallace and Grommit, Strong Bad and more for like $50.

They've had the games cheaper than that on their website (telltalegames.com) this month during the 25 Days of Telltale sale.

Some pretty good deals on the HK store for the Christmas sale. I picked up Patchwork Heroes (PSP US version) for $5, they also had Rockman 9, TMNT Turtles in Time and a few others for around that price point.

They also had a Christmas theme for free, (haven't checked it out yet) and that's all I can remember at the moment.

In the UK store they had lots of free wallpapers for this darts game coming out. Two free Prince of Persia themes and some new videos for Resistance 3, Deus Ex 3, Echochrome 2 and a Yakuza 4 story trailer.

There's more in both stores that's just all that stood out to me at the moment.

Does it still tie to your main account as far as ownership and achievements when you buy from the foreign stores?

Eat Them! looks interesting, but will wait for reviews.

Glad to see the SNK classics, too. Still hard to buy too much when PSN+ may mean discounts and/or "freebie" later.

Few games look interesting. Hopefully there are a few games on sale as well and maybe something for PS+

Really hoping. They give plus members a discount on those snk titles. I'll buy a few if the price is right.

Woah didnt know Eat Them was launching so soon... def on my radar for a bit.
