Jenova502 · Jan 22, 2013

Wow i need to upgrade my drive i thought 10gb ones like darksiders was a pain to get

FriskyTanuki · Jan 22, 2013

Ni No Kuni is 21.7 GB for those wondering.

snakeinthegrass · Jan 22, 2013

This is my biggest gripe with playstation. I only really use it for exclusives and playing blu rays and it seems like every time I turn it on there's an update to apply .. And the installation method for these games is unbelievable. My library is 1/10th that of my Xbox library and it takes up more space!

zechs34 · Jan 22, 2013

It seems only some of the update is up. Cant find the 13/13 sales anywhere!

Saix_XIII · Jan 22, 2013

Maybe it was mentioned before, sorry if it was, but the sale is live on PS3.

[quote name='zechs34']It seems only some of the update is up. Cant find the 13/13 sales anywhere![/QUOTE]
I had to search for the games manually, but they were up for me (LBP Karting and The Unfinished Swan).

Saix_XIII · Jan 22, 2013

There is a section on the left that says 13 for '13 now.

TommyLove · Jan 22, 2013

Nights into the dreams, The Unfinished Swan and Psychonauts for $9 :bouncy:

Kazaganthi · Jan 22, 2013

[quote name='breakfuss']...but...but... 3 > 2 > 1. One of the few series that got better with each entry.[/QUOTE]

Ahhh, what? I have to disagree, 2 blew bad. You couldn't even check your orbs collected stat, per location. Way too many (story) missions fail because of dumb luck, 5-15 retries were common. I liked 1 better because it was adventure-platforming. 2 was weapon-crap with bogus missions and a dumb GTA city knock off. 3 was merely ok, but the vehicles pulled it down again, imo.

Now if you were talking about R&C series, I could see that.

itzknickknac · Jan 22, 2013

[quote name='rpg']lol Ni No Kuni 22GB download + 22 install = 44gb needed[/QUOTE]

Yikes, I have 22Gb of free space. Looks like I need to upgrade my drive.

This exactly.

Also I just dropped $35 on the 13 for 13 sale. Got everything but Tiger Woods, J&D (already own), R&C (want all 3 on disc), and HOTD (already own).

[quote name='realit3y']If any of you guys are going to get the Shank 2 on this sale and needs some help regarding surviving and finishing wave 30, I'll be happy to help.

Currently I have rpg49ers on the list, you must at least have practiced a little.

I'm just waiting for my 1 month ps+ situation to be solved out by tomorrow and I can help him and others should you need.[/QUOTE]
I'm also willing to help some people if I find the time. I only have to review The Cave this week, so I should be able to do something.

Also why did Money get banned? I saw someone else asked a few pages ago, but didn't see anyone reply. I mean he's an ass, but at least he was amusing most of the time.

tylerh1701 · Jan 22, 2013

The blog says The Cave is $7.99. I'm assuming that's a typo? Maybe they accidentally swapped prices with that other Mad Dog McGee game, which I can't believe is $14.99.

Anyone on their PS3 can confirm this?

If you like the LBP aesthetic then go for it, it's actually pretty good.

BWOzar · Jan 22, 2013

In case anyone is on the value fence re: Jak and Daxter or Ratchet and Clank in the 13 for 13 sale, Jak and Daxter Collection is $15 on Amazon (sequels are $7.99 each on PSN) and Ratchet and Clank is $25.96 (sequels are $14.99 each on PSN).

TheFirstAvenger · Jan 22, 2013

Planning on getting The Unfinished Swan. I've heard nothing but good things and I really want to see what all the fuss is about.

Debating whether to get R&C for $3.75. I wonder if Sony will put R&C 2 and 3 for the same price later on. Hmm...

Saix_XIII · Jan 22, 2013

Is anyone else downloading things INCREDIBLY slow right now on PSN or is it just me?

EDIT: It seems to be speeding up when using background downloads, but in the store itself it was going insanely slow. By insanely slow I mean it said 80,000 minutes to download Unfinished Swan, Shank 2, LBP Karting, HotD Overkill, NiGHTS, and Warp.

I have R&C Collection. Does it include R&C 1, 2, and 3? The game's titles in the collection aren't numerical.

The Collection does include the one that's currently $3.75 on the store. When I said "2 and 3" I just meant the others in the Collection.

Edit: Beat to it.

I agree. Bought LBP Karting, Unfinished Swan, & HotD. Any of you guys have opinions on Machiniarium?

FriskyTanuki · Jan 22, 2013

Looks like Beats Slider is already free on the Vita PS Store, so you can get that now instead of tomorrow.

How often do psp games go on sale? As a new vita user since the black friday deal its upsetting that the psp section pretty much never goes on sale.

In case you don't know, there is a thread dedicated to selling digital PSN content. You can post there. Read the OP there before posting.

If I sorta liked Tiger Woods 2012, is there any value in 2013? I don't want to get sucked into buying the same courses again.

LazyTriangle · Jan 22, 2013

can someone link me the page where I can add funds to psn with paypal, I think I saw it in this thread but forgot to bookmark it, I want to buy Psychonauts and NiGHTS

tuffguycore · Jan 22, 2013

What's the feeling on escapevector(least I think that's what it was, on my phone here)? Is it worth 7.99?

SolidSnake86 · Jan 23, 2013

Gotta say, I let my PS Plus membership lapse a few months ago and I don't regret it. Most of the giveaway games and deals just weren't up my alley, though I suppose if I owned a Vita I would feel differently. I wish more PSP games would go on sale at some point.
