I think The Walking Dead will finally be the episodic game that I can keep up with, as it's about 2-3 hours to get through an episode and has far less clutter to it than the typical Telltale adventure game has.
 
[quote name='gettinmoney662']Looks to be a good update. I'm also lookin forward to tryin out Sumioni.[/QUOTE]


Ooh I didn't know there was a demo for it! Can't wait to see how much it stinks (based on what I've heard).

I was actually going to import the JP edition then I patiently waited for the US edition. Of course I find out it's digital only, and well that's just something I don't agree with.
 
[quote name='tylerh1701']

Someone in this thread once said something like "If I only had $50 a year to spend on video games, I would get PS+". At this point, I have to agree with this sentiment![/QUOTE]

You know...I read this not long after you posted and decided to come back online and quote it and respond.

I signed up for + late last year when Target had their ad misprint. I bought two years worth and it was the first time I've ever had it. If I had read what you posted before having + for a few months I would have said it was crazy talk. But now that I've had it for a few months, I going to go out on a limb and say you may be correct. I know in just the short time I have had it I have gotten for free Back to the Future, Shift 2, Shank 2, Farcry 2, Silent Hill, Simpsons and an assload of other GOOD games. I already had the Sly Collection otherwise I would have been happy about getting the first one for free (and this applies to some other freebies that I already had). Plus I remember getting some sweet discounts like Trine 1 for five bucks. Now Trine 2 and SotN for free? And I know there are other free games I got that I'm forgetting to mention. It is definitely 50 bucks well spent, let alone the 15 from the misprint.
 
Is this price still valid on this:

Daxter and Secret Agent Clank Bundle - $14.99

I can't find it on my Vita. I'll try checking via my PS3.
 
^Oh! Cool that plays on Vita??! Target has that bundle(Daxter and Secret Agent Clank Bundle - $14.99) for the same price in store..PSP, of course.

Mortal Kombat (known as Mortal Kombat 9 by the fans) introduces a number of game-play features including tag team and the deepest story mode of any fighting game. Players can choose from an extensive lineup of the game’s iconic warriors and challenge their friends in traditional 1 vs. 1 matches, or take on several new game modes.

With access to a variety of exclusive weaponry and equipment, your actions will tip the balance during the most dangerous time period mankind has ever known.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 w/ Stimulus Package – Return to today’s war front with the second chapter in the Modern Warfare series. Modern Warfare 2 continues the gripping and heart-racing action as players face off against a new threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse. Playing as as Sgt. Gary “Roach” Sanderson, your international squad of elite soldiers battle through harrowing combat scenarios that range from snowy mountaintops in Siberia to the crowded streets of Rio de Janiero, Brazil and beyond, facing a terrorist force hellbent on redefining the boundary lines of today’s modern warfare.

In a bid for freedom, the humans harness the spiritual forces of Dragons and triumph. Tranquility and harmony exist between all.

And the journey to discover today begins. Unleash the spirit of the Dragoons. And discover your destiny.

Max Payne is a relentless story-driven shooter about a man on the edge, fighting for his justice while uncovering plot-twists and twisted thugs in the gritty bowels of New York during the century’s worst blizzard. Using the innovative Bullet Time mechanic, players can slow their sense of time in order to focus shots in intense encounters for deadly accuracy in life-or-death gun duels.

Rayman 2: Revolution – Ubisoft’s personable and popular cartoon hero is back and more ambitious than ever in the PlayStation 2-exclusive re-imagining, Rayman 2: Revolution. Now in full 3D and blending humor, suspense, and blinding speed, Rayman must escape an intergalactic zoo by using the powers of his still-imprisoned friends to open the door to an even greater power to free them. Unique to the PS2 version of the game are a number of brand new stages, a harder difficulty level, and a progressive upgrade system that gives Rayman a number of abilities not found in other iterations.

Was thinking about Disney universe for $15 for PS plus, but was able to score a copy at my local best buy for $8. Others may want to check BB if they are considering it.
 
[quote name='Layd Dly']After playing Hot Shots Golf so much on my Vita, i broke down and spent the $20 on the HSG Out of Bounds Complete Collection since it was only $19.99.[/QUOTE]

Haven't played Hot Shots in awhile. How many extra courses does the bundle have? Not too concerned with skins and the like.
 
Just checked the "last chance" section of PS+ and saw Sonic CD and House of the Dead 4 deals ending on April 30/when PSN updates on Tuesday.

Does anyone know how long the Sega PS+ sale will last?

Specifically, the DLC for Sonic Unleashed and Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, hoping for another week so that when I get paid I'll still be able to get those pieces of DLC.

If it's not in the "Last Chance" section it should go on for at least 1 more week.

Have you checked the OP? When I see what's in the Last Chance section, I make sure to add the expiration dates to those items and anything else on there lasts for at least another week.

Trine 2 is on sale or free with PS+? I ask because I played the first one and loved it. If it's on sale for $5-10 I'll grab it. If it's free on PS+, I'll probably grab it and play through it before June when my PS+ expires.

All of those games you quoted (including Trine 2) are FREE for PS+ users so you'll want to get it before your subscription expires in June.

If there's no price, there's no cost to get it.
 
Does Media Go have everything on PSN? I looked for Shank 2, Need for Speed Shift 2, and House of the Dead 4 and they don't show up. My account is non-Plus, and I just bought a Plus card and was about to apply it, but not if I can't grab those games.

Edit: Silent Hill, Canabalt, and Farm Frenzy 2 show up as free for PS+ members. Mystic Garden is not free. Shank 2, NFS: Shift 2 Unleashed, and House of the Dead 4 don't show up at all. This is fucked up; get your PS3 fixed asap if yours breaks.

Media Go only lists PSP-compatible stuff, which is stupid.
 
Is that sarcasm? I was wondering why it was called "Media Go" but your explanation makes a lot of sense, and I can't believe I didn't see it looking at the titles I listed.

I only wish I figured it out sooner. Now I'm sitting on a $50 PSN card and a 12-month PS+ card and can't do jack shit with them.

Thanks to both of you. I finished the original and I thought it was well worth the price that I think I paid at the time($10).
 
Okay, this might be a silly question, but how do accounts work on PS3? Could I actually use someone else's PS3 to log into my account, redeem my PS+ and PSN cards, grab the shit I want, and log out?

I agree. I think Trine 1 (along with a PixelJunk pack) was the first thing I bought on PSN, soon after I got my PS3. I think I paid $15 and it was well worth every penny.

I've since become a CAG and developed an embarrasing backlog, so I never got around to buying Trine 2. I'm super excited to get it free this month, I think it will be my favorite freebie yet from PS+. Can't wait to download it tomorrow.

Every time I use xbox.com to purchase stuff through my web browser while at work I get annoyed that the PSN website store doesn't offer the same service.

As long as you haven't shared your personal account with others before, it should be as simple as that.

You'd just create a new user on their system, login with your account info, redeem your codes, buy the stuff you want, and then you could deactivate your account on his/her PS3 to be safe.

This is news to me. I figured PS+ would have been added by now to Medio Go.
It has been awhile since I last used Media Go since I have a PS3 now.

You can access the PS+ Minis and PS1 Classics that have been given out, but nothing else that's offered on PS+ works on PSP.

Maybe in the future. I'm gonna pass on the PS+ giveaway since I want own the castlevanias and my + expires on 2013. I'd rather pay when it gets a discount for regular members.
 
[quote name='gettinmoney662']I'd play it for "free" and if I really want to play it again in the next console cycle and I no longer have Plus, then I would just buy it again. We're talking about a difference of
