Nice! Will have plenty of games for my new Vita.

Thanks.

Looking at all the good sales this week on ps store makes my head hurt..Going to buy all the vita games and then some. The retro city rampage demo i played on my vita was fun so i will d/l it for sure.

How long will it be available? Im away on vacation now and wont be back till next Wednesday

@Havok83 From now until 12/30 according to the ps blog.

On a related note: Does anyone know if this game is 'cross play' compatible? I.E. is Retro Rampage one of those games where your PS3 save file automatically gets sent to your Vita and back to your PS3 so your progress is the same on both platforms??

Nice really stoked about this one!

This is actually a free game to keep once your PS+ runs out, right?

PS+ is actually stopping me from buying games. I don't know if this is Sony's intent, but I held off on RCR and now I'm glad I did, and I will continue to hold off on future games.

Same here. This is why I have not bought Journey yet even thought its going on sale for the 2nd time.

Yeah, it is. It's not automatic though. You have to go into the game, and select cross-save. Then it'll instantly upload to the cloud.

Awesome! Really wanted this and I'm glad to see its free.

Edit: it's not free yet...?

Y for somethi.g

Prob not. I seriously dont understand.what's so hard for people to understand about plus. If its FREE, u own it until your plus membership runs out, and it comes back if you renew it. If you pay for anything that is a plus discount, its yours, forever, no matter what.

It probably works out for them. I never purchased many PSN games anyway. Now they get a guaranteed $50 from me every year, that they never would have gotten without PS+. The only content I purchase is DLC and the sales have made that more likely. Im sure this is likely the case with alot of others as well

Sorry about my last post, I'm on my phone. Lol.

I understand that, however the way it is listed here is a little misleading.

Retro City Rampage (Sale: $10.49, PS Plus: Free, Regular: $14.99)
Retro City Rampage PS Vita (Sale: $10.49, PS Plus: Free, Regular: $14.99)

It looked like it was some sort of holiday bonus that it is yours to keep forever or something... was just wondering... relax.

I see what you refer to, but it will not be a keep forever game. The way to confirm is it when you go to purchase it in store, you will be given a "warning" that the game is available only during your PS+ subscription.

I feel the same way as you. Ever since I got the AC:L Vita bundle from Amazon on BF, I've bought zero games.

Thanks for the clarification!

Any idea when the store updates this week and when this goes free? Right now the game is removed from the PS vita store.


On my vita there are some games that are under "your instant game collection" yet aren't free or even discounted.
