I may also use that post for more referential stuff in the future, which will prompt a new thread once some of my ideas to overhaul the OP start to materialize.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you put into this thread every week, I've always found it very useful as a reference. I know you get a ton of moaning and bitching about this and that, but it's always been great for me.

The one thing that I do, however, lay solely at the feet of Sony and not the individual is the fact if you've gotten a game off the IGC and it later leaves the IGC and goes on a regular sale, you cannot purchase that game to keep. I dont know why they wont let you *give* them money. I wonder if they are even aware of this 'negative loophole', because it seem like something they would have tried to address.

I wasn't aware of this. Kind of scary actually. I think it's more of a bug than anything else that they aren't really aware of. Like I said before, they are just awful at online distribution planning.

Unfortunately I already have Bioshock 2 on disc and dont like fighter games . Seriously though, I dont think its too hard for them to offer the same amount of games they do now while allowing us a choice. Sure some months I may not like the choices but I can still choose the one I might play or avoid the one I already own. Thats value and a happy customer, and offering 2 games is really only costing them 1 as you can't have them both (win/win). It just seems so obvious I dont understand why they dont do it.

do you need to do anything special to activate cross buy or is it auto for qualifying games?

No. You buy one version and both are added to your download list.

Auto.

Because offering choices requires them to negotiate with publishers to include even more titles that may or may not be chosen by people. I may be wrong but I think after the hack, all the titles offered were first or second party developed titles which makes negotiating deals a lot easier.

I don't know if it is "so obvious", but the business logistics involved are complicated and are probably not worth the effort to them. They have enough trouble with their current system planning and deploying things.

Does anyone know if Two Worlds II is vastly inferior to the PC version? That $5 price along with no ridiculous DRM is tempting.

I really would like to pick up Rayman, but my problem is the lack of storage space on my Vita.

The fact that I would have to remove games to be able to play it is actually preventing me from picking it up.

I'm going to have to hope that the retail version will drop to $15 at some point soon so that I don't miss out on the game.

Didn't someone on here say a few pages back that Best Buy PSN codes are emailed to you? Hoping I get mine before Gungnir is no longer on sale.

Just do it. Rayman is the best game on the system by far. You can always put those older games back on later.

If I were you, I'd buy the bigger size card (if you don't already have the biggest) and sell my old one, especially if you plan to keep the games you buy.

boy do I regret having bought that AC3 bundle at launch... half price shit

#1 CAG rule is never buy games at launch if your main goal is to save money, that being said, what you pay for is to play the game first if you can't wait. I bet you already beat it too so don't feel too bad!

This x2.

When I could afford it I almost always jumped on pre-orders and such to make absolutely sure I could be playing ASAP. Even when my backlog was already massive. Now, that only happens for must-haves which is incredibly rare.

Any chance of a Journey sale anytime soon? Haven't really been keeping up with PSN sales but I have money in my wallet and been waiting for Journey to go on sale. Are the sales up on the store now all that's coming for this holiday or is there a chance for more?

Answer: Gamefly

They sent me Hitman & Farcry 3 on launch. Beat the latter, still working on Hitman.
I'd definitely buy Farcry 3 in the future at a lower price though because there were tons of side stuff to do.

I thought it'd at least be half off by the holidays, but I guess not. That, Sound Shapes, Papo & Yo, and Okami could use a discount.

Journey's selling VERY well and keeps winning awards and it's barely been discounted since release. They might do another small discount because of the VGAs but I wouldn't hold your breath for half off.

Capcom can be a little stingy with downloadable game discounts that aren't Resident Evil, but who knows.

Fingers crossed for sales on:

Disgaea 3 Vita
Valkyria Chronicles 2
Super Stardust Vita
Journey
Unfinished Swan

Is there an emoticon for a little dude praying to the PSN Gods? If so, insert HERE.
