Playstation Store Sale

[Nesmaster75]

I quickly searched for it and couldn't find anything, so if it's already posted somewhere just close the thread.

The PSN store is having a little holiday sale. The most noticable game is Burn Zombie Burn for only $4.99.

The list includes:
Beaterator (PSP) - $19.99
Burn Zombie Burn - $4.99
Brain Challenge (PSP) - $4.99 (this game is always on sale...)
Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars (PSP) - $29.99
Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This (PSP) - $9.99
Tertis (PSP Mini) - $6.99
Unbound Saga (PSP) - $4.99
2 for 1 Mercury Bundle (PSP) - $9.99
Tank Battles - $6.99
TV Show King - $6.99

They aren't the best deals, but for anyone who enjoyed Zombies Ate My Neighbors for the SNES would like Burn Zombie Burn. I'm also debating on Unbound Saga for the PSP for only $5 too. Hope this helps someone!

On a quick side note, Final Fantasy VIII was also released for $9.99 for anyone looking to add that to their collection!

I want Badman, but I can't bring myself to buy it.
I wanted it on UMD and Badman 2 comes out on UMD in February. (Presumably for $20)

Edit: Looks like Amazon has it listed for $29.99.

Edit 2: The Badman 2 UMD includes the original one for free! Sweet!
"Complete original game included for free - Missed out on the original Badman? The complete first game is included with Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman 2 for free. Two games for the price of one."

Because I know they gave God of War trophy support, but that's a PS2 game. Maybe in the future, they'll get trophy support.

No, those are ports running natively on the PS3. They are not emulating the PS2 games as a lot of people seem to believe for no good reason.

There's no way Sony is ever going to put trophy support into PSX games. It should be too difficult a task to catch certain memory signatures that can be mapped to specific events in the game from within the emulator, but it wouldn't be trivial either and would require take a decent amount of work to set that up for each game. I think it'd be worth their while but Sony doesn't always make the money grab when it's staring them square in the face.

There is also the issue of PSP-compatibility and how they couldn't do trophies while playing on PSP. At the very least there would be a ton of complaining about the situation and then people would get the idea that there was something wrong with PSX games on PSN, that they didn't work correctly with the PSP, if they were buying them for PSP they'd be getting ripped off, etc and potentially sales would suffer. That last scenario alone would be a huge headache for Sony considering how many people are already clueless about the products Sony is sell to them. See previous paragraph re:GOW Collection for an example.

Alright. I think it was established in this thread already when someone said PS1 games don't have trophy support.

If anyone is still thinking of buying Burn Zombie Burn the game has custom soundtrack(patch 1.02). A nice plus while killing millions of zombies
