[quote name='jedimario']Also, has it been confirmed that PS+ renewals count towards the $100?

Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]

It was confirmed 11 minutes before you posted.

Sorry, I got distracted and did not press post for a bit. My apologies.
 
ok the 10% off pre orders day 1 digital, will they still be 10% off the first week like PLAY games were, where you only forfeit a theme? Seriously thinking about doom, but I would like to make sure bethesda doesn't ruin it with bugs.

Depends on the game, there are more specific details here:

http://us.playstation.com/day-1-digital/
 
[quote name='pasolini']I personally found the bolding very useful, but any means you choose to indicate new stuff is fine with me. I really appreciate the info you provide. Opposite what the person above said, i usually only read the OP and don't delve through the 388 pages of conversation to find out what's new each week.[/QUOTE]

Same. I'll miss the bolding. I scour the op weekly. I've since begun reading the thread too because I was missing stuff sometimes, but it was primarily the op I was going from.
 
Speaking of the $100 to get $20 promo this month. I was thinking of reupping my plus since it is done in December, but I am not sure what else to get.

Anyone know much about the Doom BFG edition other than the plus discount we are getting and the fact they are upgrading it and have Doom 1 and 2 included? I am really tempted by it, but never having played 3, anyone NOT recommend it? I already know of its good points so I was more looking for negative points to it if there are any to determine if I want it or not.

Thanks
 
Sorry if this has already been answered, couldn't find it. Does the PS+ discount on Tokyo Jungle end today?

(and if anyone can offer an opinion on it, please do!) Thanks.
 
Based on the PS Blog, no, the 20% off for Tokyo Jungle for PS+ users does not end this week.

Update: From Sega's blog:

Additionally, anyone who buys a copy of either game on the PlayStation Network will receive a free, exclusive NiGHTS or Sonic Adventure 2 theme for their PlayStation 3.
Not sure if the theme's dynamic or not.

[quote name='PublikDefender']Do you mean it isn't worth developing a character like Lightning before you beat the game, or just the regular monsters (because it is better to switch out to more powerful monsters as you beat them)?

OPPONENT: LIGHTNING & AMODAR dlc is the only way to add Lightning to your party, right? In the dlc episode, is it difficult to defeat Amodar and Lightning? Do you have to be leveled up quite a bit to pull that off?

I just want the fastest and easiest way to get Lightning in my party. And I want to use her until the end and level her up along the way.[/QUOTE]

Heh, sorry I didn't respond earlier; I just haven't checked this thread since last Thursday. But to answer your first question, when I said that I was more interested in fighting the dlc characters and taming/developing them was just an afterthought, I meant just for me personally because I did everything in the regular game within the 1st month of owning FFXIII-2, so I already had awesome monsters developed for every role. I never paid for any dlc before the sale this past week because I just refused to pay full price for what would amount to a higher cost than the original MSRP for the game if you were to purchase everything. Although I had absolutely no interest in the dlc weapons or most of the outfits and I already had Omega from preordering the game from Amazon. However, I have played with developing some of the dlc characters and will probably mess around with them some more just to see how they turn out.

As far as your 2nd question, which has already been answered to a degree, yes you will definitely need to be leveled up a bit to beat Lightning and Amodar. After having fought them, they seem like they would be the easiest to beat at a low-mid level crystarium development and weapons/accessories development and they would definitely be good for their roles through a decent portion of the game. But like the other poster said, you may be about halfway through the game before you are able to beat them plus from my experience, I have had an incredibly hard time taming Coliseum opponents (i.e. Omega :razz:) without a certain ability that increases your monster capture rate, even when I consistently got 5 stars. For Omega, I could not capture him until I got that ability. I was able to easily beat him with 5 stars about halfway through the game or less but I fought him at least 20 times before getting that ability, tried different weapons and accessories with passive abilities I thought might help capture him and nothing. Then after I get that ability, which was pretty late game, I go back, fight him 2 times and capture him. Then I didn't like the way I initially developed him, ditched him, went back and got him again the 1st time I fought him. :whistle2:?

Also, you can only get FFXIII style, Ravager Lightning from capturing her at the Coliseum; but you can get Warrior Goddess, Commando Lightning automatically from beating her dlc chapter I think and she is much better at her role for late game/post-game than Ravager Lightning from what I've read. Most people say she's the best Commando hands down but I haven't played her story yet. I'm not sure when her story is available to play; but I would assume that it's available as soon as you finish New Bodhum 003 since the Coliseum was open for me to fight Omega at that point and Lightning and Sazh's stories are both in the same general area as the Coliseum, to the left of New Bodhum 003 in the Historia Crux.

Anyway, sorry for the long winded answer, lol; but I hope it helps if you haven't already figured everything out. :)
 
PSN EU are getting Resident Evil 5: Gold, Bulletstorm and Hell Yeah! Wrath of Dead Rabbit. This month?

EU PS+ sure is kicking the ass of its counter parts so far >_

[quote name='Sir_Fragalot']Been reading up on Hell Yeah!, I really hope we get it free. If we don't, I will be buying it on Steam.[/QUOTE]

If we get it for free, it won't be for a long time. It's 20% off right now, so if they gave us that discount and then gave it to use for free a month later, that will piss off a lot of buyers.

I'm not saying that couldn't happen. I just really don't think it will.
 
[quote name='Zonic505']Not sure if I'm gonna get Alex Kidd. I might as well wait for the 3-game collections on XBLA to go on sale for $5 & get that instead. Plus I've already played the game a few times on Sonic's UGC.

& not surprised that JSR being available a week early is low in the polls. I'd much rather have a discount than getting the game slightly earlier.[/QUOTE]

The Alex Kidd in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection was the sequel. The one that's going to go on sale is the first game and was on Master System.
 
[quote name='Jesse_Dylan']$29.99 I think. Hope so![/QUOTE]

This is what I heard as well.

We'll find out soon enough though.
 
But guys, we get free football! Who doesn't love football. AMERICA, fuck yeah....

Sarcasm aside, I don't give two fucks about Blitz, so am really hoping for something good announced next week (at least RE5 Gold for Halloween).

Just because your nerdy ass doesn't like football doesn't mean plenty of others don't. Blitz isn't exactly football anyways.
 
Did anyone notice they used art from the original Little Kings Story on the drop page rather than NLKS?

I mean, they don't exactly look similar, its pretty obviously the wrong image.

I really doubt the new one can top the original. The art is fucking atrocious.
 
Ya, new updates are up.

Grabbing the demo for Silent Hill and Zero Escape on the vita now.

I also see the new additions to PS1 library to the vita too like Chrono Cross, BoF IV and etc.

New King Story for $39.99 is no good for me, I'll grab it at around $20 or less, I think.
 
[quote name='Umair56']$40 for NLKS? Ouch.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I was mad excited for this release, but I don't think I can bring myself around to spending this much on the title. From what I hear, the voice acting (or lack thereof) is terrible and there's some slowdown when there's a lot of stuff going on on-screen. On top of all that, it's not even a physical cartridge. I don't feel like the price is justified personally. I'm going to wait for a lower price-point.
 
[quote name='msriflegirl']Bah...I missed the sale on FFXIII-2 DLC :bomb:[/QUOTE]

Damn, thought it'd last longer, haha, ah well.

And they did go $40 for New King's Story, ouch, definitely waiting on a price drop for that.

Finally, yikes at that 1,000,000 Crystals Mega Pack for Treasures of Montezuma Blitz. I wonder how many people will buy that.
 
Damn why did NLKS have to be $40. I'm not sure if I should bite or not. It seems like this could be one of the games in the Instant Game Collection for PS+ in the future. But I do have a lot of BB credit.
 
Some game called Hyperballoid HD is on sale for $3. It's a brickbreaker type game, but it has trophies, so I'll probably pick that up. Foosball is also on sale for $6, and I'm pretty sure that's a cross play game for those who have a Vita.

Also will grab Alex Kidd for a buck. I may wait for my Capitol One card to come in though, or just buy them on Monday if I don't have it yet.
 
News:


  • A new section called Also Available is now present
  • ACIII is on no news about drm so it's cool to gameshare
  • The bundle for ACIII gold edition and ACIII Liberation gold edition is not present
  • NBA2k13 continues with drm and gets day 1 add-on with jewels one add-on is for the game to be commented in Spanish
  • New Little King's is actually 39,99$ like I stated it back
  • DOA5 has a got a free pack of costumes to download
  • Once Again the guys from the Blogcast and psn on general are fucking up Spelunker HD there is no ALL dlc package available that goes for 1$ for all DLC as opposed as it has written

We could use translations for some of these, lol. Is this how you talk?
 
Where does it say that there is an all DLC package available that only costs $1? Granted, that last sentence is written terribly so maybe you're trying to say something else.

Yeah I just bought it off of GMG for PC at 25% off. Comes out tomorrow for PC which is fine, I would rather Steam anyway.

What are the differences

Version before:

Spelunker HD — 50% discount (Regular Price: $9.99, PS Plus Price: $5.00) All DLC 80% Off (Regular Price: $4.99, PS Plus Price: $1.00)

SpelunkerHD_title_thumb_ALL.jpg

Spelunker HD is no stranger to Plus members, as earlier last month we had a similar deal for the game. Fans (and to-be-fans) of the game will be excited to note that the new DLC releasing with the October 2nd Store Update (Area EX9 and Area EX10) will be joining the rest of the DLC with an 80% off discount — about $1 per Add-On. The game itself is going back on the 50% off deal as well, so get on it!

Obligatory comment demeaning you for missing a clearly marked sale that was present for a week.





That being said, I only remembered to buy the DLC I wanted last night.
 
Yeah, I heard somewhere nlks would be $30 and wanted to believe it. Don't know why I'd think anything on the PS store would ever be reasonable. Ridiculous.

I think that Alex Kidd is different than the PS3 Genesis Collection one (Sonic Collection???).
Is that right? The disc version one was Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle?

It may just be me, but that image in no way says get every piece of DLC for $1 at all. It clearly says all DLC $1, meaning every piece of DLC is now priced at $1

Yes indeed this one is another title the other one was in the Enchanted Castle this one is in the Miracle World

Well then blame them for making a poor presentation and writing ALL DLC as in a bundle that for only 1$ you get everything from EX2 to EX10 but you could say they fucked it up when they put the discount to be 80% and clearly it wasn't so the image would be wrongly advertising right from the beginning, when errors are made like that
