NBA Jam: On Fire Edition is the next free PSN game for Plus members: http://community.us.playstation.com...s-for-January-1st-2013/m-p/39155915#U39155915

According to another poster... it seems Chronovolt is going to be the next vita game.

Nohbdy · Dec 28, 2012

Meant to say in January. Sorry.

Soma_Cruz · Dec 28, 2012

[quote name='rieper']Almost broke down and got MG:Hd Collection but then i noticed the 3.3gb install .... Wow thats a deal breaker considering how limited the space u get on vita memory cards. And besides i can easily see this game dropping to $20 in the near future, so for about $2 difference i can save about 3gb of install space.

My 2 cents.[/QUOTE]

Amazon had it marked down to $20 for one day earlier this month and I bought it, sure to happen again(and probably for longer once the game is older).

If the deals are true, YES! Sound Shapes! :3

Hmm that kinda sucks. But according to that post it also says we're getting Sound Shapes for $7.35, which is absolutely amazing news!

whitereflection · Dec 28, 2012

Also Skullgirls for $7.35 and Tokyo Jungle for $10.49. Hopefully even less with Plus.

tylerh1701 · Dec 28, 2012

I can't seem to replicate any of the PS+ deals, but I definitely see where it says NBA Jam and Chronovolt will be free.

EDIT: I lied. Yes I can. Tokyo Jungle is definitely on there as well under PS3 Deals.

SonicXtreme · Dec 28, 2012

LOL, normally i hate these types of posts, but i think in this case it's a little funny: i got a ps3 for xmas, and signed up for ps+; decided i wouldn't buy many games online sans classics that cost more for discs, and i made one exception; NBA jam bc ive played it more than any other game on xbox. just plunked down the $15 for it yesterday so i could play with my ps3 friends who have it. Go figure literally the only game i buy on the platform ends up being the first extra free game

. Never buying anything again haha.

handsomepete · Dec 28, 2012

Well of course I'm going to buy Tokyo Jungle, Sony.

jwk94 · Dec 28, 2012

[quote name='handsomepete']Well of course I'm going to buy Tokyo Jungle, Sony.[/QUOTE]I still regret not picking it up when it was first released and discounted. Now that Remote Play for the Vita has been patched in, I will without a doubt be buying it this time.

What a total slap in the face. I'm gettin a 360, at least they know how to treat their customers.

ZincAlloy · Dec 28, 2012

[quote name='perfectmf1386']From what I've read you have to overlook a few quirks with the mechanics of the game but overall people seem to enjoy it.

I purchashed it near launch while under the influence of alcohol. I grew up with a drunk, abusive father. Watching the opening, or scene near the begining (again, I was intoxicated), I freaked out, broke down in tears and turned the console off. Those with issues that stem from abusive parents may want to be wary. I really want to play, just got to muster up the courage.[/QUOTE]

Damn interesting enough buying it now thanks!
I can't wait to get NBA Jam (I loved the originals), Skullgirls, and Soundshapes. F yeah!

kanamit · Dec 28, 2012

[quote name='gettinmoney662']What a total slap in the face. I'm gettin a 360, at least they know how to treat their customers.[/QUOTE]

Well played you 2, but I think in this case its going to be more about not wanting another sports game. Also I believe EA is shutting down the online January 11th.

The first one, not the On Fire Edition.

captaintek3304 · Dec 28, 2012

I'd get Bulletstorm for less than $10. I played it a while ago on 360, but never got around to finishing it.

Which reminds me. Wont be surprised is PlayStation allstars goes free before june.

captaintek3304 · Dec 29, 2012

Sorry, I think I'm having a brain fart here. People here and on the PS forums keep saying they're upset we're getting "another sports game". Um...NFL Blitz, and what else? I checked my download list going back to June, and that's the only sports game I see. Unless you count the Hot Shots 2 PS1 download from a few months back.

Zerok · Dec 29, 2012

[quote name='Jack_Frost']Which reminds me. Wont be surprised is PlayStation allstars goes free before june.[/QUOTE]

Ehhh, I'd expect LBP Karting to go free for plus first. Sure All-Stars has dropped to $40 but Karting has dropped to $25 several times, I think the first time it dropped was like two weeks after it came out.

WNYX585AM · Dec 29, 2012

[quote name='handsomepete']Well of course I'm going to buy Tokyo Jungle, Sony.[/QUOTE]

Not sure if this is sarcasm, but I definitely want this game. Everything thing I hear about it is pretty positive and very intriguing. The remote play for Vita is also a feature i'd like to try out.

Either one seems possible, but LBP Karting seems correct. Plus, I think there may be more potential DLC to sell for LBP Karting than PSABR so that probably makes it a little more attractive for Sony.

TimesTicking · Dec 29, 2012

eh.. so no Okami HD deal?
Dammit... might as well buy the game now for the full price.

PimpLimp · Dec 29, 2012

[quote name='Jack_Frost']Which reminds me. Wont be surprised is PlayStation allstars goes free before june.[/QUOTE]Not gonna happen. The game still wont be out in Japan for over a month and it's already been announced that some of the games first DLC will be free for a limited time. I'm willing to bet that a game with this many Sony franchises vested in it will NEVER be free on PS+.

Zonic505 · Dec 29, 2012

Not big on sports games, but considering how NBA Jam is more on the unrealistic side (which tends to interest me more, like Mario Power Tennis or Sega Superstars Tennis), I might try it out.

Still need to try out Sound Shapes. Problem, either I can get it cheaper, but not get the Vita version, or pay a little bit more & get both versions. Guess I'll have to see if the game is worth it to get both Vita & PS3.

Actually most of us are joking, mentioning what we expect others to say. I'm kinda looking forward to playing NBA Jam. I just saw what other people were saying on that blog frisky posted and expected it here.

If I remember correctly, the PS3 version is just a port of the Vita version sans touch controls.

Wait is the sale not for both versions or are you saying that you can get the PS3 version cheaper elsewhere?

Zonic505 · Dec 29, 2012

[quote name='PancakesAreLove']Wait is the sale not for both versions or are you saying that you can get the PS3 version cheaper elsewhere?[/QUOTE]It's Cross Buy from what I remember, so if you buy 1 version, you get the other for free. However, because the account I mainly use on my Vita is my sub account, I have to use the master account to get PS+ content, which means if I got it via PS+, I could only access it on PS3.

Okay that makes sense, I thought for a second there that the sale was not including cross buy.

Just curious, why do you have a sub account for your vita?

Just curious, why do you have a sub account for your vita?[/QUOTE]I got a PSP about 4 or 5 years ago, & I had to make a master since I wasn't 18, so the sub was mainly used by me & had all of my purchases on there. Then last year, I got a PS3 & while it annoys me I gotta switch to the master to access PS+ (which I learned months AFTER I got my PS3 PS+ can't be applied to a sub), I can still play anything I get on there since PS3 allows multiple accounts. It was only recently that I found out that Vita only allows 1 account per handheld & sharing content isn't allowed. If I didn't have a bunch of stuff on my history list & trophies, I would've switched over to the master account long ago.

I don't get why Sony won't do what Microsoft does for Xbox Live & allows you to turn a sub account into its own, separate account once it's 18.

What is this whole thing about 18 thing? Couldn't you just lie about your age to not have restrictions? That sucks about the whole switching thing though, it would really annoy me. I really wished sony allowed 2 accounts on the Vita, I have 2 main accounts (one old and a recently made one) and both have quite a bit of purchases on them.

Zonic505 · Dec 29, 2012

Even if you're 18 or older (I'm 21 now), a sub stays a sub account, no matter what. In any case, it's not a huge issue when it comes to PS+ on PS3 (aside from the free avatars. Never understood why only avatars are account locked), but had I known about PS+ on Vita & the fact I couldn't separate/promote a sub to master like Xbox Live, I would've stopped using the sub and had switched over to my master long ago.

Guys so it's probably that Tokyo Jungle will be discounted for Non-Plus Members too?

Yeah, NFL Blitz is the only other sports game we've received. I'm personally bummed cause once again I already have it. But it is kind of a niche game that really won't appeal to a certain population. I predict (and this one is really a stretch) that there's going to be a lot of complainers on the blog on Monday about it.

[quote name='TimesTicking']eh.. so no Okami HD deal?

The last 2 weeks have had about 12-14 games on sale. The posters over on that forum revealed maybe 4 deals next week. So obviously it's not for sure that Okami won't be on sale.

That being said, the game hasn't even been out 2 full months yet. A discount would be awesome, but I think it's a little bit too early to expect it to happen.

[quote name='Lord Xoan']Guys so it's probably that Tokyo Jungle will be discounted for Non-Plus Members too?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, more than likely it will be 30% off ($10.49) for non-Plus members.

PancakesAreLove · Dec 29, 2012

[quote name='Lord Xoan']Guys so it's probably that Tokyo Jungle will be discounted for Non-Plus Members too?[/QUOTE]

I'm guessing it is going to be like all the other $14.99 games and be $10.49 regular discount with PS+ users getting it for $7.34.

So I hope to see Okami HD discounted too and I'm done!
