Anyone seeing these deals?? $8 for the PS4 version of Injustice? Now there is one deal that you digital only people can relish in.

Edit: And I don't know how to play Backgammon but I might pick up the PS4 game for $2.

I'm seeing some of the prices (like Festival of Blood for $2.44), but others that are being mentioned (like Injustice and MvC) do not show up for me yet.

How are there fees and such set up? Receive payment with PayPal?

Nope, no fees, but all transactions are done in their currency : coins. 1 coin = $1 You can buy games with cash on it or from coins that you do for sales. But no fees. Also when you sell you pay shipping, but when you buy you don't pay shipping so it off sets. Good for people who sell just to get other games, it is an easy trade system. If you are trying to profit with cash then it wouldn't be for you. But you can avoid the fees, which is big. I just sold Madden 13 Vita for 13 coins, cost $3 to ship. Also sold Lego Lord of the rings for 7 coins, $3 to ship as well. Was able to buy saints row the third for 5 coins, I have a balance of 15 coins to use on other games.

 
Yeah I might drop a few bucks in this sale as well.  I'm trying not to buy PS4 games though, and just letting my PS+ collection build up.  

Also both Dragon's Crowns are $20 again.  How much longer til their $10.  Also probably a (bad) sign that we won't be getting the Vita version in August.  fucking EU.

Wow, Madden Vita is not rare again? I sold mine for $43.65 + $3.99 shipping in February. I can't keep track of all this. I know I missed the boat on MGS Vita rarity.

Right when it went on sale for like $9 on PSN, a billion retail copies came out of the woodwork and the price hasn't gone back up hardly at all...so I'm still sitting on it.

But hey, at least you can have a grand ol' time running through Blackgate again for $4.20, right...? :roll:

No. fucking. Way.

Maybe if it was the PS3 version so I could see if the new map helped at all.

I actually do recommend the game for $4.20. It's not THAT bad if you can tolerate the map. I just can't imagine me ever trying to play through it again without an improved map system.

Hey guys!  You can buy that shitty TMNT game for only $9.99!

EDIT:  Or $8.99 as the prices change before my eyes.  I know the store is updating.  I get it.

It was fun I just ran it old school and didn't use the map at all.

No thanks--PS+ or bust.

This sale is more ho-hum for me since I can easily get LEGO Marvel :)ps4:) from my library and I beat Arkham Origins already, but that's still a good price for them. I'll probably just go with Injustice on Vita.

Ah, yeah I'm saving for a PS4 right now.

Serious question time.

If I liked AA and AC is Arkham Origins worth it for $8.40?
Click to expand...
I'd say yes. I thought the main story was stronger than in AA and AC, though the combat system is slightly worse since it doesn't feel as tight as in Rocksteady's games.

The multiplayer is balls, though.

Totally. It is more of the same. A little more buggy, but I actually really dug the story. Possibly more than the bad guy parade that was Arkham City.

You guys are making me want to play this. I'm used to seeing nothing but negative comments on it. Might bump it up on the play list.

 
Thanks guys, I thought I heard some of you liking Origins.  I had dismissed it because the reviews werent that great.  I dont care about MP so that doesnt matter to me anyway.

Sold!

Backlog get it man!

I think I can hold off on Injustice if only because I'm waiting for the new DS4 colors, but Lego Marvel has a fun demo and I haven't actually bought any of them before so I'm not sick and tired of the Lego formula yet. Plus the Marvel fanboy in me relishes the idea of seeing all of the characters included.

Injustice I got for free on the 360 and only played about an hour of it. The lure of Zatanna is not enough for me.

Yeah Arkham Origins never had a shred of a chance. When it came out that Rocksteady wasn't developing and that it would have tacked on multiplayer it was dead in the water to both the media and to gamers. Definitely don't skip it just because others made up their mind about it long before the game was ever even released.

 
For anyone considering the Lego Marvel games and only want to pick up one version, I personally preferred the Vita version to the PS3 version.  While most of the levels are generally the same on the 2 versions, the challenges on each level were much more fun than all the collecting and side missions inside the hub on the console version.

I had always planned on passing completely on Arkham Origins.  At that price, I am slightly tempted.  If enough people were buying so we could boost the MP part to get the plat (I think that takes like 8 people though), it would definitely cause me to buy.

I bet my local library doesn't have any games worth noting, but I really should go down there and grab a library card anyways. Worst case, be nice to have an easy place to borrow ebooks from.

Wish the Redbox here would get PS4 games.

I have it sealed on disc, but will likely sell it off and pick up the digital. I think a few people played the MP a while back though, so they may not be interested in grouping up. And 8 sounds like a lot to get on board for multiple sessions.

A side-scrolling shoot-'em-up...Hmm... :whistle2:k

I did see it. Then I looked at trophy guide. I then didn't see it any longer.

Sweet, I didn't back up my Velocity save on before I got rid of my memory card so now I get to start all over. fuck that.

did .. did I just win?

seriously though, I'll give credit to those of you that platted it but I'm not sure I have the dedication. I currently have 4 - count em, 4 - perfects out of 50. fun game, frustrating perfection requirements.

 
Wouldn't that be awesome if PSN started doing a $1 weekly deal on a random older PS3 PSN game?  I'm sure there's a bunch of old stuff I've missed out on that I'd happily grab for a buck.

Are you sure it doesnt have them? You have to go to a backdoor URL to check for PS4 games. The option is not there on their main page layout.

http://www.redbox.com/browse/ps4-games

I was surprised after someone told me about that to see that the local red box locations do have a handful of PS4 games.

If you can Perfect 40-50 you can plat the game. I just started with level 50 and worked backwards on getting the Perfects. The only super challenging ones are the ones where you have to speed through the whole level. All the rest only take 2-3 retries at most.

 
Have looked before and it's the same story. Considering the number of thefts I've had to call them about I don't blame them for not wanting to put new games in stock.

Oh come on. 40 hours to 100% and massive frustrating difficulty? If I didn't already have it I'd buy it again.


Nightmare unlocked
Complete the fifth world on "impossible" 0.38%
ULTRA RARE

Note: I don't have that, that's just the rarest trophy from the list.

Note 2: Rumor has it the Soldner series might be ported to vita, so heads up on that.

Shit that's a good super hero sale. Probably gonna grab AO and Blackgate and Injustice. Can't decide if I want Vita or PS3 for Injustice, but I'll probably trade visuals for the $4 discount.

I'd be up for AO multiplayer boosting if people are interested.
 
I'll definately pick up Arkham Origins since I loved the first two games in the series. (I know it has a different developer)

How is Blackgate?

Also, what is the diff between Lego Marvel on PS3 vs Vita. (I did not like Lego Batman 2, btw. Should I stay away?)

The Cursed Crusade is only $2.99

 
Vigilante said:
It looks like the original, not Soldner-X 2.

But it's only $1! :joystick:

Oh nice. Because this one has a subtitle I thought it was the sequel. But you're right the sequel definitely has the number 2 in it. So this is the one I don't have. Definitely buying it.

I'm not a completionist so if I beat the game once or twice and get a couple trophies from it I'll be more than happy than spending $1 on it. Doesn't bother me in the slightest that it has a hard trophy list. I mean, all 13 trophies aren't going to be mind-numbingly hard!

I just checked at that URL and there don't seem to be any near me. :(

I don't think I'm going to get anything from the sale. I don't like fighting games and Lego games I've never been that excited about. My kids like them but they haven't wanted one for a while. The first Batman game is still in my backlog.
