I actually really want Fantavision. I'd buy it full price. It won't be Fantavision though.

Once again EU gets better stuff than US! Haha!

Seriously, this is extremely good news. Especially since the new PS store is really kinda shitty, so if/when this comes to US, I'll probably use it frequently.

I don't know that I've ever bought anything for my Xbox other than via xbox.com, soooo much more convenient. I can assure Sony that they'll get more bored-at-work purchases from me if they bring this over to the US than they would ever expect.

evophile · Dec 7, 2012

Has the Assassins Creed Revelations DLC ever been on sale on ps3?

I've been wanting to get the rest of the trophies and its been on sale at least twice on 360 (right now even) and unless I was asleep one week, I've never seen it cheaper on psn ?

After googling YOPO, I figured out it means You Only Pay Once. Though I don't see how that could have any affect as to whether or not we'd get a game for free through PS+.

[quote name='handsomepete']I don't know that I've ever bought anything for my Xbox other than via xbox.com.[/QUOTE]

Yep, me too. I've rarely bought anything from the 360 dash - just from the site. This would definitely be a boon to PSN sales so I hope it comes to the US (along with paypal). They're probably just ironing out the wrinkles there, first.

[quote name='Easystride']Hope that mystery title is DQ8[/QUOTE]

I like the cut of your jib. But I doubt it as the DQ games have been getting rereleased on the handhelds. Japan is getting DQ7 on 3DS.

Maybe a Vita rerelease of DQ8 might be on the horizon.

chetofvern · Dec 7, 2012

I loved Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? but that game will having you beating the crap out of your vita buttons i would recomend playing it on your psp but very much worth the 5 bucks !

Serious I'm just hoping it's at least a JRPG.

Woocls · Dec 7, 2012

Clarification? We don't know if Big Sky Infinite (or whatever it's called) is going to be part of the Instant game collection? I thought that trailer that was posted for it suggested it would be.

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kfDtcV57Z8 at the end it says, "For a limited time available at no extra cost to Playstation Plus Subscribers"

Bingo. There are times when I turn on my Xbox and a little later it pops up saying some game finished downloading and I forgot I even purchased it.

tylerh1701 · Dec 7, 2012

Nothing is confirmed either way about what game(s) we're getting on Tuesday. It's possible that we get Big Sky Infinity, and it's possible that we don't. My guess is that we won't, but that's just my personal gut feeling.

Thanks for the code Frisky!

frankmackeyspam · Dec 7, 2012

Code redeemed. Thanks!

FriskyTanuki · Dec 7, 2012

That trailer looks like it's using the intro to the gameplay video that appears often in SCEE/UK trailers and not for SCEA/NA trailers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_FcLPW5noc

This is an SCEE-style trailer and it uses that exact same intro where the PlayStation name appears after some floating PS buttons.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7SSJW6cDc4

This is an SCEA-style trailer and the intro after the ESRB screen is just the PS logo with that same sound you hear in any of their TV commercials, which isn't what you see in the Big Sky Infinity trailer.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kfDtcV57Z8

So my conclusion is that it's probably not going to be free for SCEA PS+.

realit3y · Dec 7, 2012

[quote name='Nohbdy']So it's not confirmed that Really Big Sky will not be in the U.S. IGC?[/QUOTE]

YOPO means you only purchase once since it was announced on the blogcast that it would be YOPO it means that it isn't going to be free that is for sure guaranteed.

Because it means that you would need to pay for it, also if the 2 games coming in the IGC were not mentioned that's because they are not mentioned and will stay not mentioned which means, since they said those 2 games are coming as YOPO it is further evidence saying that the game is not coming free for IGC anytime soon.

Woocls · Dec 7, 2012

Ok, well the Trailer (Show more button) reveals this:
The game will be available free of charge for a limited time to PlayStation Plus members in the European region.

So I guess it's just for the "European region" or it would probably say so.
Big Sky Infinity will be free for Euro PS+ but not for US.

Going by past experiences EU PS+ also go other free games on release day like Hell Yeah! Rabbit + Machinarium, while US got PS+ discounts or nothing, so I never even had my hopes up.

Make sure u are downloading the vita version not the ps3 version. Then run battle royale on vita so it installs.

Vita version doesn't show up on my download list. Only the PS3 version. Weird.

I think the code has been used up. I tried too. Not working for me either.

The Mystery title of PS2 that is coming next week will be :
click on the spoiler tag if you want to know it

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

So it's not that misterious anymore once you know it!!!

Fresh8142 · Dec 8, 2012

If that really is the mystery title... color me excited! I haven't played that in ages and damn was that game filled to the brim with fun!

Edit: after conferring with my other sources it looks like that mystery PS2 game is correct now I'm really excited!

FFX, maybe.

So did you guys miss me? I never played San Andreas so sounds good to me.

tylerh1701 · Dec 8, 2012

Welcome back.

I wish we would have seen HD remakes of III/Vice City/San Andreas but at this point I really don't think that's gonna happen.

[quote name='Tsel']Welcome back. You've never played San Andreas? That's crazy. Did you play III or Vice City?[/QUOTE]

I've only played Vice City. I pretty much skipped the PS2 generation, which is why I appreciate all these HD remakes. Granted, that doesn't apply here.

biledriver · Dec 8, 2012

Oh good. More Grand Theft Auto. That's great because how much the series evolved it's great to go back and....

Can't even fake it, incredibly let down. But I expected I would be.

wilflare · Dec 8, 2012

this probably got asked a million times
anyone got a link to the history/changelog of those instant game collections

Are you talking about a list of games that have been in the ICG since June when it was released? Because if so, I wrote a blog post about a month ago about it which has a full list up to date as of the day I wrote it. They don't have dates of when we got them, but I believe they are in order.
