FlyingMonkey9 · Feb 20, 2013

Will probably buy trials with the 10 credit- wish it was cross buy but will probably buy on vita if it doesn't take up too much space

Seems like a good game for portable

GT · Feb 20, 2013

the 10bucks credit was a nice surprise this morning. Thank you Sony. Now put together another 13/13 sale please.

thefurrypanda · Feb 20, 2013

Sweet free money. Get something from next weeks sale

TrumpetDan · Feb 20, 2013

[quote name='letskissthesky']Yet again, as with every free promo credit, I have received nothing. Best Buy and PSN hate me and all I do is shower them with money.[/QUOTE]

I received mine after 1am, so they may be just rolling them out all day today.

breakfuss · Feb 20, 2013

I received the credit as well. Now come onnnnnn, Sony, papa needs a new Super Stardust Delta sale!

Hopefully they follow up this surprise with some even better news tonight. Or, maybe it's preemptive consolation, lol?

doubledown · Feb 20, 2013

I know Sony said they are trying to make up/refund the people that bought a FREE PS+ game and it charged them. Maybe it is related.

CaptainEnforcer · Feb 20, 2013

That's true. Anyone who received the credit buy one of those "free" games last week?

venturin · Feb 20, 2013

[quote name='Zonic505']You have 3 options when it comes to Capcom Arcade Cabinet (Capcom has listed all the features, including the list of games & release dates here):

1.) Buy each game individually for $4 when they're released. This'll cost you about about $56, and you have to wait 2 weeks after the pack containing said games were released to get them individually. Ex. You have to wait until March 5th to get Avenger or 1943 separately.

2.) Buy them in packs of 3, $5 for the addition of Avenger & 1943 out today (since Black Tiger is given out for free to get a taste of the hub), with the others being $10. Destructoid has a review up with a listing of when these'll come out. This'll cost you about $45 total.

3.) Wait until May 21st and get all 15 games (owning all 15 games unlocks 2 bonus games

1943 Kai & Vulgus

) in a single pack for $30.[/QUOTE]

Thanks.. This post was helpful to me

Brother Daz · Feb 20, 2013

[quote name='CaptainEnforcer']That's true. Anyone who received the credit buy one of those "free" games last week?[/QUOTE]
I didn't buy any of those last week and got the credit so I don't think that's it.

destro4eva · Feb 20, 2013

Was a PS+ member for a month, been buying PSN games for my PSP for the past couple of years and the credit showed up last night.

I will be using this towards Pinball Arcade tables or the Star Wars Zen tables next week, cha ching!

Vanquish is a blast for those that have PS+, it's really fun.

Miami_13 · Feb 20, 2013

I just got a PSN message from [PSN] and it reads...

$10 Credit
Thank you for being a loyal customer and fan of the PlayStation Network.As a token of our appreciation, we've sent you $10.00 to spend on the PlayStation Store! Click on the link below to redeem your credit. Code expires 3/5/13

I just redeemed it and it worked. Anyone else get this?

EDIT: Seems others have got it as well.

anotherpoorgamer · Feb 20, 2013

Just checked before I got Vanquish, The Closure, and Mega Man X Maverick Hunters.
I didn't get the PSN message. :whistle2:

Soma_Cruz · Feb 20, 2013

The credits might be random. I'm a plus subscriber, spend lots of PSN and no credit. Unless they're rolling out all day or something. Was the PS3 version of Urban Trial delayed? I see the Vita version on the store but not PS3.

I didn't get mine either and I'm on the same boat.

Hopefully they're rolling them out as the day goes on since it's Sony's big event day after all. I could think of a few things I would use that $10 for.

The PS3 version was listed last night when I checked, but then the store crashed on me, so maybe there is an issue today. The game looks pretty good. I'm tempted to just get it for Vita since it's not cross-buy. Greg Miller from IGN gives it an unofficial 8/10 for whatever that's worth...

Fresh8142 · Feb 20, 2013

Also got the $10 credit

Pretty awesome!

Now my dilemma is what to spend it on! I might wait for the gamer's choice voting to end and the sale prices to pop up next week

I bought it this morning and downloaded it. (2 hours ago or so)

xplode427 · Feb 20, 2013

Haven't played megaman x since I owned an snes so this is fun.

Any suggestion on what order to beat the bosses? I beat the intro but then I started with the chill penguin level and died quickly.

Weird, it popped up when I searched for it(but doesn't display under new PS3 games) but as soon as I went to page I was kicked off PSN. Maybe it's telling me I should buy the Vita version. XD

Honestly, you can literally beat all of the with your blaster and your normal health. It's all patterns.
Chill Penguin, Electric Gorilla, Storm Eagle, Flame Mammoth, Armored Armadillo, Octopus, Boomerang Kuwanger, Chameleon.

Miami_13 · Feb 20, 2013

Anyone know of an app or website that I can stream the PS4 event on my iPhone tonight?

lokizz · Feb 20, 2013

got my 10 been a plus sub since day 1.

wrencrest · Feb 20, 2013

I got the $10 credit last night while I was playing Dead Space 3. That was a cool/nice surprise while playing.

I have been plus since day 1. I have had a few bucks sitting in my wallet for a while now. I havent bought anything within the last month or so.

TEC · Feb 20, 2013

I've been a Plus member for over 6 months and a PS3 registered user since 2007. I haven't gotten a code.

Tabe · Feb 20, 2013

I'll be using the Ustream app.

Soma_Cruz · Feb 20, 2013

The store seems to have been down(on the PS3, was busy on PC so didn't check there) for the last half hour or so. That may explain why I was having trouble with Urban Trials.

note: Now I'm able to get back on.

crunchewy · Feb 20, 2013

I "purchased' Vanquish and the Megaman game in case I ever get a PSV.

You can play full PS3 games on Vita?!

He's saying in case he ever gets a vita it will be in his download history to redownload in csae they take it off ps+. I did the same thing cause I love megaman evven though I don't think I'll ever get a vita/psp

kitsunisan · Feb 20, 2013

I just want the ability to play Odin Sphere on my Vita, I know the thing can handle it.

I didn't think I'd get a PSP either, then I decided to pick one up when gamestop put used PSP GOs up for $50 and I like it quite a bit. With only one nub I doubt I'll ever guy any FPSs, but it will be great for 2D games, RPGs, PS1 games, and the like.

crunchewy · Feb 20, 2013

I think the confusion was that I lumped Vanquish in with Megaman... but mostly wren was just being an ass.

I'm hoping that part of the announcement today will be a PS Vita price cut (there's already a price cut in Japan), as well as a price cut on the memory cards. Maybe the latter is the pipe dream....

FriskyTanuki · Feb 20, 2013

[quote name='PancakesAreLove']Watch Frisky doesn't get one. :lol:[/QUOTE]
Thanks for jinxing me.

Jodou · Feb 20, 2013

No $10 here, but I think the only thing I've ever purchased on the store was Castle Crashers years ago. Really hate these random selection things because all they do is piss off the people that get nothing.

CrimsonPaw · Feb 20, 2013

You're right Crunch, they need to cut the memory card prices by at least half. I can guarantee that I would have spent at least another $20 during that Final Fantasy sale had I had a 32Gb card (versus my 8).

It takes one to know one!

But seriously, I was a little confused and excited if it somehow Vanquish was playable on Vita. I keep trying to find reasons to buy one but so far no luck.

DCpinoy · Feb 20, 2013

i got a 10 dollar code! pretty happy since i don't think i buy too much stuff from the PSN Store. Also just downloaded Vanquish, glad i held off on buying it for so long. damn it's a big download!

breakfuss · Feb 20, 2013

Theres's an img attachment to this thread labeled 'PSN stupidity'...

Kotomine · Feb 20, 2013

From an XSEED email I got:

Ragnarok Odyssey DLC now available.
New DLC every week until the end of March!

tylerh1701 · Feb 20, 2013

[quote name='breakfuss']Theres's an img attachment to this thread labeled 'PSN stupidity'...[/QUOTE]

io somehow attached it in this post.

affa · Feb 20, 2013

for those that want to , you can actually watch the live meeting on your PS3/tv.

go to 'what's new' (under the psn/account heading) and click on the meeting. it opens in a browser... it ends up being about 1/4 the size of your tv (centered) but for me that's better than my pc.

PimpLimp · Feb 20, 2013

It seems like the PlayStation website is being overloaded right now. But Wired has the stream up on their site and it's running fine.

MR_E · Feb 20, 2013

[quote name='breakfuss']Hopefully they follow up this surprise with some even better news tonight. Or, maybe it's preemptive consolation, lol?[/QUOTE]

Lol...good point. Maybe, instead of trying to figure out what the people who got the $10 have in common loyalty-wise, we should figure out what they all have that Sony is about to screw them over on tonight...

Boosters in trophies are going to get to start being paid for just boosting others trophies WTF? Noooooo

gettinmoney662 · Feb 20, 2013

Hahah, pretty unrelated but I'm watching the Joystiq comments during the Playstation presentation and all it is is just complaining about every feature announced. I hate gamers so much.

PlayStation 4 will not have native PS3 backwards compatibility
http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/playstation-4-will-not-have-native-ps3-backwards-compatibility/

PS1-PS3 have been confirmed to not be playable without a future update that will require Gaikai's streaming service. There will be no physical BC, even offline BC, including these PSN games since the PS4 will not have the physical guts of the PS3 or an emulator. This was all just said onlive at the PS4 meeting.

Now why am I mentioning this? Well...because I said it in this same thread pages ago. Hall of shame? Shaming begins.

[quote name='FriskyTanuki']So you're starting all of this shit to try to be our savior and show us the light to not buy anything on PSN because of hypothetical situations that you assume will happen for the next console? Get that shit out of here and take it to the PS3 forum if you want to keep talking about it. I don't want your crap further derailing this thread.[/QUOTE]

Egg on everyone's faces from those pages and especially you. I'd say this is pretty important since this is a service that transcends just the PS3 (PSP/Vita/PS4). Even PS+ content worthless because it's not playable directly on the PS4.
