I might get VT4, still deciding on it. Only have an 8GB card thats already pretty much full of untouched games, also want to save for the Best Buy blowout, i just cant decide :(

Damn it doesnt have a demo. Is the gameplay anything similar to Mario Tennis (Excluding the special shots and all that jazz of course). Weird question i know, but i just know i wouldnt like a slow paced tennis game

Check it out for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jci7mp6NzJ8
 
Not bad then, i might have to find room in my budget for it, just not really a fan of downloaded retail games.

Also nice at the One Piece release date, looks amazing. Hope it takes my spot as favorite DW spinoff (Currently held by DW Gundam 3)
 
Picked up P3P. I'll probably never finish it, and possibly never start it, but it's worth the $10 knowing I'll always have something to sink my time in to if I'm stuck with my PSP.
 
I notice a lot of good PS1 classics are only about 5.00 Stuff like Legend of Dragoon, and Arc the Lad, Grandia, ect. Are these sale prices or their regular prices? I didn't see them listed here. I have all these on disc for the PS1 but it seems most can be played on the PSP which would be kinda neat. Im wondering if I have to buy now or if theyre usually at these prices.

also sorta considering Rainbow Moon. I keep hearing great things about it but im not a huge fan of DLC only games

^_^x KD

Yup, $5.99 is the standard price but some games (mostly Square RPG's) are $9.99.

Yeah most of the PSOne Classics are $5.99 regular price.
 
Anyone had experience with downloading Persona 3 off PSN and playing it on the PS3? I heard there were some issue with saving the game and that its been known to delete save files.
 
The one time I buy something not on sale (HSG Vita) so I'd have something to do at night on vacation and it goes on sale for half price the day after I got it. Grrrr!! Oh well, what am I gonna do?
 
Wizorb is awesome and I'll probably pick it up. If I wanted to play it between my PSP and PS3, is it possible to move the saves back and forth from both devices?

Not to mention the retail game has been 19.99 at Walmart for a couple months now.

[quote name='dgwillia006']Just an FYI to anyone who is still waiting or interested.

Gungir can now be transferred to the Vita from a PS3[/QUOTE]

That works for lots of games that don't officially work on Vita yet. I transferred all the digital games I bought for my PSP to the Vita.

Not for Gungir. It was nontransferable, had to go through the Sony approval process after release. Just got changed sometime this week

Unchained Blades is another that just recently came out and still cant be transferred yet

yep, there are some few issues, some monsters you see light flicking and etc and yes there are issues with the saves so make sure to make at least 3 saves slots and when you save make sure it is saved and don't just turn it off after saving the game.

And this is why I went with P3P instead.

FES is much better but yea, I'd look for a disc before dealing with that.
 
I was expecting malicious to be a $15/$12 game. At $10/$8, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting it. Maybe Foosball as well.

Shame that buying Puddle doesn't give you the PS3 version as well. That will probably keep me from buying the game.

Thanks for the info! Maybe I'll opt for the physical disc for my PS2. It's too bad a patch wasn't made to fix these issues for the downloadable version.

[quote name='gettinmoney662']PSN Buying 101: Never buy anything on Monday.[/QUOTE]

Yeah yeah, I know, but I figured it would be a safe bet. Had any major Vita game ever gone on sale up to that point? And I did want something to play on vacation. Just bad luck.

or maybe I"M NEVER BUYING ANYTHING FROM PSN AGAIN!!!!! SONY YOU LOST A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!!!!!
 
If I already own the disc version, but no DLC, is it worth getting the Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds $20 bundle? It might be nice to have the convenience of not needing a disc, but not if the DLC isn't any good.
 
Persona 3 FES PSN has been fixed according to this. I've never had any problems with it myself. I've bought the damn thing five times now (Persona 3, FES, P3P, FES PSN, P3P PSN--excessive? Yeah. One of the best games of all time? Definitely.)

Buy it.

I bought them all too. Going to get P4 again when it comes out for Vita too.

Awesome! I'll totally download it today - it's cheaper off PSN than getting the actual PS2 disc. Glad to hear the problem's resolved.

they fixed everything?
just curious on one thing, I remember they said something about like if you bought the game you only get to download the game twice, so if I re-download the whole thing I won't be able to download it the 3rd time now since they have patched it?

There is no download limit on games.

There is a limit on how many PS3 systems the game can exist on. That limit is 2 systems.

oh I thought it was a limit of 2 downloads, ic ic. thanks! :D
guess I am gonna redownload P3 and play it again XD
 
I'm playing P3 FES now with new game plus. I have to say, having the main character be level 72, with a full compendium, millions of yen, and the best equipment, is kind of a letdown. I'd rather have just carried over the skills (academic, courage, charm). Oh well. Gonna play P3P as a girl soon anyway, so I can cheat my way thru FES. Never played The Answer either so that'll be fun!
 
I am a PS+ newcomer so don't bash me for my ignorance:
I know Infamous 2 will not be playable after my PS+ privileges end, but how does the system detect it if I cannot go online? Or does it require a online connection to play the game every time?
 
any idea why persona 2 is 15 bucks instead of 10? Seems kinda odd to me. I was actually considering getting them so i can keep my copies sealed. Maybe skip out on P3p since i have several of the UK CE for that one.

I see several posts talking about p3 being bugged.. were you guys talking about the portable version or the older PS2 version? Im assuming the PSP version since you mention a patch or fix or something. This makes me wonder though if the UMD versions i have are messed up. Can you patch a UMD game or was the issue only in the digital version?

Other than that im eyeballing a few of the Atlus games since it would be cool to keep my sealed copies sealed. Anyone know which of those are some of the better RPGs? I heard Crimsongem Saga was pretty good.

im specifically lookinjg at
Class of Heroes
Hexyz Force
Crimson Gem Saga
Riviera: The Promised Land

I heard class of heroes is kinda meh. Oh and im pretty sure Kenka Bancho is on the sale list too isn't it? But i dont see it listed here

I think the "Expires" time is set to the time that your PS+ is supposed to expire. If you don't connect to the internet at all, and you keep setting your clock backwards, maybe the game will work forever, but I dunno for sure.

Then you heard wrong...this is the 3rd time I've posted this for people interested in this game, take this mini-review to heart, and be forewarned about what you are potentially buying.

[quote name='uncle5555']
However I have sunk like 40+ hours into Crimson Gem Saga and unless you LOVE grinding, I'd say stay away.

Which is sad, because it is a quality game, but you must grind, for levels (and SP points for skills) and money (especially money) since the items in this damn game are so expensive, plus you need all of the advantage you can get (enemies stay the same level as you are). Also later on you pretty much use your special moves to win fights easily since the normal moves are so weak they aren't worth messing with and cause you lots of headache healing up all the time, especially when you have to grind so damn much (for money and SP).

Plus they force you to use certain characters (for the endgame) and the ending sucks (watched it on Youtube when I decided I'd had enough grinding) and it was one of the most unsatisfying things I'd have ever seen.

So if you can get past those elements, go for it, I probably wouldn't be so hard on it, if I wasn't so disappointed by those elements since the game is very high quality, it's just the game itself sucks so much because of those elements that make it frustrating to enjoy and finish, let alone recommend. =/[/QUOTE]
