So the biggest game on the instant collection is a comic looking fighter?? What in the hell.

Thrinn · Dec 11, 2012

[quote name='breakfuss'] :rofl:

That's ridiculous! Why is this game so big? Seriously -- it's street fighter, lol.[/QUOTE]
There's 39 characters, each of which has brief opening & ending HD movies to explain the characters' stories.

[quote name='callmewoof']Meh, 30 levels free is free. Haven't played lemmings since the DOS days of yore, so anything will be nice. Who knows, maybe its actually worth buying more levels. Will play and find out.

(Lemmings 2: The Tribes. Bonus points if reading this reminded you of the box art)[/QUOTE]

The 30 levels are great so far. It's fun just for the nostalgia of an old game I played as a kid. I have a feeling I may get burnt out after the free levels, but the add-ons are just a couple dollars apiece. I might buy them just because I appreciate them making the game (of course I would mess around with the levels anyway).

I'm glad I bought a 1Tb drive before getting PS+. Also...I love living in a country with unlimited bandwidth.

If you had gone to the blog page (http://blog.us.playstation.com/) and hit "View older entries" The Drop is the first one on that page... unless you're looking for the PS+ update which is clearly shown as their top story on the front page.

Here is "The Drop" for this week, which was posted Sunday.

Here is the "PS+ Weekly update", which was posted yesterday.

Here is Frisky's post about "The Drop", which was 8 pages back.

[quote name='Romeo']Ah, let me adjust... store update news. That is always posted days in advance. I know the PStore itself doesn't update until Tuesday afternoon.[/QUOTE]

The Sony Blog posts on Sundays "the Drop" which includes only locked in content for the Tuesday update. It does not have sales or other last minute titles. The Song blog also has a podcast that goes over what will be on the store on Tuesday, but doesn't always include everything either. They also post on Monday the PlayStation plus content for that week.

There isn't a one stop source for official Sony information, however the folks over at playstationlifestyle do a coming to the store article that is pretty inclusive to include "rumor" content too.

What you're looking for is posted on tuesday afternoon. They post the complete store update when they update the store. Shocking, I know...

paddlefoot · Dec 11, 2012

Is Crimson Gem Saga only on sale until the store updates later today? I completely forgot about it and won't get home until 6:00 EST.

tylerh1701 · Dec 11, 2012

^According to the OP, no. But I'm not 100% sure where Frisky got that info from.

I myself forgot to buy Prinny last night, but I'll be home in about 2 hours so hopefully the store hasn't started its update process by then and I can grab it.

You guys clearly aren't listening to Romeo, he wants a pointer to the PSN Store Update that is posted DAYS in advance. Please help him! He sure needs it. Not being sarcastic. I hate when I can't find info I'm certain exists!

Holy crap! Do you know if we can just install the Arcade Edition stuff if we have regular SSF4 on disc?

[quote name='whitereflection']Holy crap! Do you know if we can just install the Arcade Edition stuff if we have regular SSF4 on disc?[/QUOTE]

That seems unlikely. The store has no way to know whether you own the game on disc.

Do you have Meijer stores in your state? I was able to use a $10 off $49.99 Santa Bucks coupon to get a $50 PSN card for $40. The coupons are available in the store and on the website but can only be used in-store.

You can just buy the DLC like I had to do back in the days and your normal ssf4 copy will become a ssf4:ae good luck

The only stuff in the OP that I know is ending this week has red asterisks on them. The rest is unaccounted for since most of it doesn't have a listed end date anywhere that I've seen.

If you want something and don't know when it ends, then get it now while it's still there.

Just... wow.

Completely deflates any interest I have in downloading the game and selling my disk copy.[/QUOTE]

LOL! I know... I own most of the PS Plus games but I usually download them anyway for convenience. But 18 GB?!? That's like an entire overnight download on Sony's slow PSN.

Really? GTA III was $9.99 like all other PS2 Classics, so that's surprising if it's true.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/12/11/playstation-store-update-269/

Seems to be true. Instead of the Square Enix tax on PS1 Classics, it's the Rockstar Tax for PS2 Classics.

Yes they did but typo errors are common for them don't worry it will be corrected until 5 hours after Grace or Morgan check the comments, so it's not exactly an error but only a little rush.

Obviously they mean next week since we already knew Rochard was only available for a week.

And that San Andreas price makes me a little angry actually... Rockstar is more than a little full of themselves I think. I hope it doesn't sell and we get it free for PS+

Don't think this is a mini... it was a full UMD psp game. Although maybe the digital format is considered a mini? I dunno. Was hoping somebody had some experience with this game... I know its a dungeon crawler like the etrian Odyssey games (more or less) and I hear people talking about those games all the times on this forum so I hoped somebody had an idea about it.

FriskyTanuki · Dec 11, 2012

Class of Heroes is more like the Wizardry games than Etrian Odyssey, as the exploration aspects of EO weren't in what I played of COH. It just wasn't a very interesting game to me like EOIII was, though I've heard good things about COH2 as far as the improvements that were made over the original.

Might have to consider Class of Heroes again....I tried it a bit before as a huge EO fan, then kind of raged after I died 2 battles into my first dungeon run

tylerh1701 · Dec 11, 2012

Pretty lackluster week on the deals front. I think I may just pick up Puddle for Vita and call it good.

@gettinmoney - I feel the same way about Black Knight Sword. I haven't actively researched anything about it, but the developers behind it have a good pedigree, and the descriptions I've read make it sound like a game I'd really like. I'll probably demo it, but it's definitely still a wait-for-a-sale game.

breakfuss · Dec 11, 2012

Started watching the video, and stopped right @ :32. Suda51 is beyond overrated. If he had any hand in that game's development I'm staying away.

DemonsMaster · Dec 11, 2012

18 GB for SSFIV Arcade Edition is a freaking joke. I feel like someone did a horrible job of compressing this.

But alas, it is free.

I was gonna go buy it but then I stopped because I have a gigantic backlog and not waiting for a sale would be stupid.
