I hope you're implying that the people that have PS+ are the best people. You improved my self-esteem!
In terms of Hydrophobia ownership, we are the best since we didn't pay any money to own it.

As a heads-up to everyone, the LBP sale doesn't end this week, so you don't need to rush to buy it before the store updates today.

I own hydrophobia on the 360 and PC but for .60 I feel like I should buy it again. I joined Plus too late to have it free on PS3. I'll play it someday....right? lol.

 
Does anyone know of a way to buy an item you'd previously gotten free in IGC?

Escape Plan that cheap makes me want to buy it, incase I someday stop PS+ing or they end the program.
Don't you have to get customer service to "reset" it on your account because once you get it in IGC it considers it tied to your account the same as if you bought it?

 
Dyad is a great game just really hard. There's a Platinum trophy that will take some time to get but loved what I've played so far. Well worth the sale price and I also remember they were talking about making a Vita version as this game would be on the Vita.

So what games is worse from PS+ sales:

Amy or Hydrophobia: Prophecy? Those 2 titles never seem to leave us alone. I'm glad I got Hydrophobia free cause it would feel like money wasted no matter what amount.

Thanks, man. Still trying to decide if I should buy LBP for the Vita. This gives me a little more time to decide... Either way, knowing my luck it will be added to + next month if I do buy it. I'm not even sure I like LBP.

I just noticed that the Sports Champions 2 bundle with Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest is $9.99. I don't think this is a specific sale, but probably a result of a price drop or something for Sports Champions 2 where they never got rid of the bonus game that you get for purchasing it.
Good thing I just sold my Sports Champions 2 on eBay for $30. If I still had a Move, I'd probably pick this up. I had quite a bit of fun with the first game.

Well, thank you for the link. I just bought and hopefully I can play it with my nieces. It shall be a decent game for a week for them.

would totally pick this up if I had a move. Thinking about getting one next time it hits $40-ish, since it works with PS4.

By move do you just mean the motion controllers, navigation controllers, and the eye?

A couple of weeks ago I ended up getting two sets (the motion/navigation controllers) and a eye all for $50. I thought that was a good deal. I actually like using the move a bunch on games like The Unfinished Swan, Heavy Fire, and Heavy Rain. The sharpshooters are also kind of neat with HotD Overkill.

the whole package, and I agree, that sounds like a great deal. I'd definitely replay Heavy Rain and Unfinished Swan if I got one, and I like the look of Medieval Moves. Just waiting for the right price (when I've got the cash) :)

 
If you haven't played Zero Escape, I would totally recommend it!  You don't really need to play the previous game (999) but it helps understand some bits of the full story when you complete it

Just an FYI. At gamestop they are preowned for $24.99 (motion) and $19.99 (navigation). A buy2get1 coupon works on accesories as well. So it would be ~$45 for two motion controllers and a navigation. Which isnt that bad.

I know preowned controllers suck but you can personally pick them out and they have 30 day returns if you end up not liking it or they are messed up.

sounds good, though I used my PUR resub coupon a few weeks ago so I will have to wait. No biggie, I'm in no rush. Thanks for the heads up :)

 
Hydrophobia: Prophecy - 80% Discount – PSN Price: $2.99, $0.60 for PS Plus members :lol:
Yeah, I'd be all over this, but I'm one of the "best" as Frisky mentioned and owned it via PS+ for a long time already.

The 360 version is worth $0.60, and the PS3 version is supposed to be better than the 360 version. So it's an easy recommend to anyone who doesn't have it.

AGH, haven't you learned yet that I'm illiterate?!

Edit- So it's just Flower, Flow, Draw Slasher and Hamilton that are expiring discounts wise?
The Deus Ex DLC sale might expire today as well. I was actually gonna go home and play Deus Ex for an hour or so and see if I liked it enough to justify $7.50 for main story DLC. Guess that won't be happening unless the DLC sale doesn't actually expire during the update.

 
Is escape plan worth it if the demo was deleted after less than 5 minutes...twice? I wouldn't even ask if it wasn't so cheap. The cheapness tells me to buy it.
I bought Escape Plan the last time it was on sale and enjoyed it a lot- enough to beat it and buy and beat all of its available DLC. I love the art style and distinct personality of the game, though some of the levels get pretty difficult/frustrating because of the Vita's secondary controls (gyroscope, front touch screen, back touch pad, etc.). It's perfect for some pick-up-and-play gameplay on a handheld, though!

The Missing Link is pretty good if you like the main story but I personally still had a hard time buying it on PC until it was under $5. The rest it is utter cash grab garbage.

anyone play EYE OF JUDGEMENT on the VITA says the demo can be played on the vita but it cant... 15 is sort of a steep risk
I'm in the same boat with Patapon. Know they're great games but having tried different PSP games on the Vita some fit better than others. That and I dislike how hard it is to figure out how much things are actually discounted on PSN.

Nice find, Frisky. Snatched it up fast in case this is an error. I really enjoy the first Sports Champions and told myself I would get the second when it hit the bargain bins, but that never happened (cheapest price I ever saw was $25, and that was on Amazon, I've never actually seen a physical copy of the game). Medieval Moves is just icing.

 
You can always ask. Patapon got a price drop to $5.99 from $9.99. It should work amazingly well on the Vita since it's just controlled by the face buttons, though I'd just recommend the second game instead since it's a bit better for the same price.

Sports Champions 2 was on sale for $10 during BF last year at Amazon, but now you get a second game with it for that same price.

 
PSN Maintenance Scheduled for Tuesday, June 25th

Our teams worked hard over the weekend to ensure that this update can be released later tonight (night of June 24). This will allow you to hop into the store tonight ahead of tomorrow’s store update post, and pick up your purchases prior to the Tuesday downtime. Since this is an early update, be sure to take advantage of any current sales now, while you can. We recognize that Tuesdays aren’t the best day for these, but it was required. As noted, we did our best to ease the pain that this may cause.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/06/24/psn-maintenance-scheduled-for-tuesday-june-25th/
quick question

so zero escape will not be updated till tomorrow after the downtime or is it planned on tonight

cause the next page says

June 25th PlayStation Plus Update

Good find. I wish I could get more than $2 for my Medieval Moves disc, but I'll still probably pick up this bundle here shortly.

 
Might end up buying Muramasa on the store depending on the size even though I want the LE. Gamestop keeps dicking around with the release date which is getting annoying
 
So it doesn't sound like we'll be getting the July PS+ reveal during Thursday's Blogcast, just FYI.

I don’t think we’ll be moving forward with that format on the Blogcast. I may show up from time to time to discuss some other Plus or PSN related topics, but as for the monthly reveals; I think we’re going to stick with fully announcing on Mondays.
 
Also, here's Morgan addressing the issue of EU PS+ getting their monthly schedule earlier than ours, and if that may be possible in the US:

Kinda just the way it is man. It’s our announcement schedule, and we like to frame it at the start of the month. Plus, I like to make sure everything is as locked in as can be. Would rather the information be correct and timely, rather than rushed and anger you guys if it turns out that something needs to change.

If you want the LBP Summer Seasonal Creator Kit, you better get it now since it's only available until the PS Store is updated today. It also includes the Vita version since it's Cross Buy.
Thank you and thank you to the web store as I would have forgot about this before it updated.

Damnit, Frisky, makin me add two more games to my backlog.
 
Also, here's Morgan addressing the issue of EU PS+ getting their monthly schedule earlier than ours, and if that may be possible in the US:
I appreciate that he addressed it, but I interpret his explanation as "EU has their act together better than we do."

The truth may be that he has constraints and problems with a different size scale of service, but he didn't give any of that kind of detail in his answer, so we're left to guess. Actually, he didn't really answer the question, just dodged it as usual. On the EU blog, they'd probably give you some actual info as to why, it seems to be more their 'thing' to do that.

I hate you all, my resolve is weakening... though here's an unboxing and the case isn't quite as impressive as it looked in stills. Looked a little more silver in the promotional photos and in the video it looks to be a pretty flat gray.

Hmm, nothing for me this week, but I would recommend the "Creat Studios Summer Survival Pack" ($15.99), because Mushroom Wars is a great game which is worth that price alone, and getting 6 other games free with it would be a nice bonus.
