[quote name='token2k6']its great to see these DLC sales on Amazon, but why does it seem its only a trend at first? It's like its just there to peak interest, then bam! no more sales. After all, when was the last report of something being discounted on XBL thru Amazon since the 'Summer of Arcade'? which was just a bit after the service found its way to Amazon. I have a feeling these will pass, even though their tempting.
Will hold off on this for now. Do you have to have the disc, or have ever put the disc in the PS3 to play this?[/QUOTE]
you don't need the original game. but you don't sound like you are a ratchet and clank fan if you don't have the game, and as a fan myself, i'd have to say that even at $5 off original price, you have to think hard about buying this.
yea, well it remains to be seen whether there will be future sales like this on Amazon's PSN offerings. also, is it is just me, or one serious disadvantage of DLC over physical content is that DLC rarely gets dropped in price compared to physical content, especially permanent price drops. i know there are sales and such on XBLM (a recent one was PoP Epilogue) and rarely on the PSN store (like 50% off Atlus PSP games).
i believe this is mainly because b&m stores have limited shelf/stock space and are so more motivated to get rid of their goods by discounting them while digital stores like XBLM and the PSN store have no such motivation to them, especially if they have a monopoly on the content. e.g, we probably won't ever see things like the Ninja Gaiden Sigma packs or the R&C future xpac for that matter get permanently discounted in the official store. sometimes, and very rarely, dlc gets released for free a while after release, such as the halo maps, or resistance maps. we also won't see FFVII PS1 classic or MvC 2 discounted for a long time too, since there is high demand for those along with a virtual monopoly.
P.S. it's "pique", not "peak"
