[outerfox]

Already grabbed the free Saints Row 3. Also bought and downloaded D&D Chronicles of Mystara. $15 is surely tame compared to what I've dropped in those cabinets many many moons ago.

 

[handsomepete]

So is Jak and Daxter collection for Vita just a hot flaming mess?  

 

[FriskyTanuki]

The big list of new deals is fully updated with what's there right now.

 

[jkam]

So is Jak and Daxter collection for Vita just a hot flaming mess?

I read a few reviews, sounded like a bad port. I've never played any of them and was actually wondering if it's worth going back to.

 

[spydey]

I think I'll get Flow and Flower at that price.

 

[TKtheknight]

Is it me or can you not do background download for Saints Row 3? I have to download it from the store and can't do background download lol. I was gonna do something while downloading too.

 

[tylerh1701]

So is Jak and Daxter collection for Vita just a hot flaming mess?

Reviews have been subpar. Doesn't sounds nearly as bad as FFA, but it doesn't sound great either...

 

[captaintek3304]

So when this LBP stuff says cross buy, is that between LBP 1 and 2, or is Vita included? I have 2 and Vita. Is it all three?

 

[MyWorstNightmare]

I guess I waffled too long on ACIII and Tomb Raider at 20.00 each. Oh well, they will be mine soon enough on disc rather than digital at that price. I'll just be missing out on the Tomb Raider bundle, but I already have Quantum Conundrum, so the benefits are mute.

I'm not usually that guy, but the word is "moot" not "mute".

Haha, yeah, I deserve that because I know the difference, and should have used it correctly. Happens a lot to me as I usually rush through emails. The other day, I typed a quick email, and said "we will be leaving hear at 7am." I re-read it later, and wondered what was I thinking? Hear?? Oh well.

 

[FriskyTanuki]

So when this LBP stuff says cross buy, is that between LBP 1 and 2, or is Vita included? I have 2 and Vita. Is it all three?

LBP, LBP 2, LBP on Vita, and LBP Karting (where applicable).

 

[Luxuria]

So when this LBP stuff says cross buy, is that between LBP 1 and 2, or is Vita included? I have 2 and Vita. Is it all three?

Vita included.

 

[guardian_owl]

I would say Flower is definitely worth it at that price even if you play it once.

I think I want Flower but I think I might as well wait for the Vita version since I'd probably play it there sooner than the PS3 version.

Might as well go ahead and buy flower now, the main point of the game is the experience I have a feeling the experience would be diminished on the small vita screen.

 

[FriskyTanuki]

Is it me or can you not do background download for Saints Row 3? I have to download it from the store and can't do background download lol. I was gonna do something while downloading too.

Do you have a bunch of stuff waiting to be installed or downloaded? That's the only reason I can think of that would prevent you from downloading it normally.

Lol thanks! I had God Eater Burst downloading. I had to pause that in order for Saints Row 3 to get into background download. xD

Yeah, that is the list I was using. Since it's not listed there, I guess that means it's not on sale, and $2.99 is regular price. PS3Trophies.org has it listed as $9.99 so it must have had a nice couple of price drops over the years.

In regards to that Move pack, I can't find any mentions of it ever receiving a permanent price decrease down to $2.99.  I think it might be an unlisted sale....I'd love for someone to prove me wrong.

warning

Last chance to buy the Toy Story Addon Packs!

17 Jun 2013

The Toy Story Costumes and Level Kit DLC items are leaving the store during the last week of July. Once gone, these items may never return!

Do not despair though, if you have yet to buy the Toy Story levels and costumes, then you have until the end of July to do so, and if you have already purchased the items, they will remain in your purchase history in case you need to download them again in the future.

[Pravado]

So i'm confused. I see the topic title has updated but not the original post. Am I missing something?

 

[Investor]

I'm doing background downloading of Saints Row the 3rd right now while playing another game. 81% complete so far, and moving higher.

Is it me or can you not do background download for Saints Row 3? I have to download it from the store and can't do background download lol. I was gonna do something while downloading too.

 

[dgwillia006]

Guess ill be buying it. The Incredibles stuff never went back up, lucked out and got it on Gamestops site

 

[FriskyTanuki]

So i'm confused. I see the topic title has updated but not the original post. Am I missing something?

You're missing everything, so be patient.

 

[Saix_XIII]

I am doing the best to find this info but am a little confused.

I have the LBP2 SE. I know it comes with the following DLC:

• LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack: Rise of the Cakeling
• Toy Story Level/Costumes (no trophies I assume)
• Pet costumes

Is the LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack: Rise of the Cakeling DLC the only Move pack there is or is there another one? If there is what is it called? If it is the same then I figure the only DLC I need for the trophy stuff is the Vita add-on and the Muppets DLC? Am I missing anything besides a ton of costumes?

Renegade Ops add-on bundle is $4.99, is this a sale price?

 

[Velo214]

fun fact. Eat Lead was my first plat. followed by call of duty World at War. wow seems so long ago!

lbp move - i remember another move pack, but it was free for ps+, like sackboy's prehistoric moves or something... i know that had trophies also.

also i got all the ratchet ffa trophies in 2 days (thanks wife for beating developer times) except the run/boost/glide trophy. hopefully ffa on vita isn't so broken i can't finish up this plat. cross save ftw.

i know this sounds archaic but i don't use a wireless router at home, so would i still be able to play cross crontroller (i know, 2 feet away hooked up with ps3 charger wires) but would that work, or you need remote play wireless?

"To use Remote Play once you've paired your devices, all you need is wi-fi. If you have a PS3 with built-in wi-fi network capability (more recent models, in other words), you just select "Remote Play" then "Start" on the PS Via, and "Network" then "Remote Play" on the PS3. Finally, select "Connect via Private Network" on the PS Vita and the two machines will establish a connection. The advantage of this method is that you don't need anything other than a PS3 and a PS Vita to play. The drawback is that you have to keep the PS Vita within range of the PS3's wi-fi."

that makes it seem like it would work with ps3 wireless network? so i should be good without wireless router and not have to keep my vita plugged in....

It's definitely a sale price. I bought all this LBP DLC a month or two ago, I wish I would have waited, but ah well. Anyways, the Move pack was $9.99.

The Move Pack is not on sale. It's still $9.99 like it has always been. What you're seeing is the costume pack from that LBP2 DLC that is made available for Karting, so it's not what you thought it was. Karting has Move support built in and hasn't gotten any Level Kit DLC yet, from what I can recall, so it's just poorly written in its description since you can see that they just sloppily copy-and-pasted it from the original DLC that isn't completely correct. I hope that clears it up.

I'll repeat this for the lazy: THIS IS NOT THE LBP2 MOVE DLC PACK. DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU JUST WANT THE COSTUMES FOR LBP KARTING AND NOT WHAT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL LBP2 DLC.

I'm heading back into the OP to finish the update, which should be done soon. I think with all of the fuss over custom spoiler issues in the CAG 3.0 thread inadvertently lead to a bunch of stuff getting deleted from the OP, so I had to fix that stuff in the process of updating it.

Sorta off topic but a new PS3 firmware is coming out tonight. I think it will allow us to turn off trophy notifications.

Turn them off? I want more of them! I want things like 'Hey, you're getting kinda close to a trophy, so keep going! You are highly accomplished and also people at work like you!' to pop up in the trophy box.

 

[FriskyTanuki]

Added to the OP beyond what was in the original list I wrote up:

PS3

Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest - $9.99 - Requires Move ND

Add-ons

LittleBigPlanet 2 - Summer Seasonal Creator Kit - Free N

Everything's updated in the OP for the Pravados of the world.

Oh my, praise the Sony lord above! I really hope it gives the option to toggle those notifications. I understand that some of you like them, but it completely breaks the immersion for me. Anyone who's played The Last of Us will know exactly what I'm talking about.

 

[Investor]

That sounds about right. Your PS3 comes with its own wifi, and unless you need to access the Playstation Network for firmware updates, patches, or anything else in order to play a game, you can simply remote play between your PS3 and Vita without a router once you have paired the two systems.

And there's nothing archaic about not having a wireless router at home or not. Purely a personal choice, so bravo!

Anyone know whether Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara has restrictive DRM?  Since Capcom published this, I'm wondering whether it has DRM like Final Fight: Double Impact.  If it doesn't, I'll probably buy it.

 

[rpg]

LBP2 Cross-Controller Pack needs 468MB on the Vita.

 

[ChrisRD]

Don't think Flow/Flower has ever hit this low -- Those PS+ prices are App Store levels. Loved Journey, so I'm definitely going to be downloading them both.

Anyone else have their system up after this goddamn update? It was loading, restarted, went black. Then I turned off the system, restarted it and now it'll load the PS3 logo, then it'll only keep the waving white stream with the Lilttle sparkles on it. God damn it.

The best thing they could do to trophy notifications for me is when they pop, let me press a button to see explanation of what it is. I always have to pause the game to go see what I actually did.

That's probably the main reason why I prefer achievements over trophies. The same thing can be said for the Xbox's message system.

Sorta off topic but a new PS3 firmware is coming out tonight. I think it will allow us to turn off trophy notifications.

Good. I've decided trophies and achievements have ruined games.

Same exact thing here, and the same thing just happened to my friend, too.

Word of caution, people: don't download the new update.

In a way, glad I'm not the only... But sorry man. My controller won't work (can't turn it on) and I can't turn it off holding the power button. Only the switch. If anyone finds out how to fix this bullshit lemme know.

Yep same reason I prefer achievements.

Edit: If I disliked both Journey and Flow. Is it a safe assumption I will hate Flower as well?

Yay for a worthless update thats taking 30+ minutes to download. I just wanted to play some Last of Us online.....

Also, does the Full Package DLC work with the downloaded version of Saints Row the Third? I really don't want to clear out HDD space and spend 4+ hours downloading just to find out.
