Ahhh, thanks. My scenario of lower price until you wanted multiplayer seemed odd but with Sony who knows.

[violent]

Fabulous.

They might as well put Echochrome II on the Vita. The big pull being it uses motion control.

Vita's got that.

So I'm browsing through the PSN store on my PS3. I don't think ganging on Atlus is the answer. Sure Xseed, NIS, and ok several others do have somewhat reasonable prices. Not steam level, but ok I suppose. Aksys is running around with bloated prices too. Square Enix and Koei can do better too. Sony still wants $22 for Janne d'arc? Namco with $40 3 year fighting games? Fighting games of all things?

While I poke at Square, if I downloaded War of the Lions, would my old PSP save work on my Vita?

Also I'm going to need to book mark some of these. Like this Gladiator Begins for $10. Wild ARMs XF for $10? I recall Gorvi saying this one was quiet good.

But 22 minutes for a 1.5 GIG game download PSN? Seriously. On a brighter note, it's Def Jam, for $10.

Also the winner of the PSN best games are on sale today. Some time today. <shrug>

Yes. Just transfer the save over via the PSP save data manager on your PS3, then copy THAT over via content manager to your Vita. I've done it with several games and it works just dandily.

[Chris_D]

Yeah, I'm interested in checking out Wildarms XF one day. $10 seems like a good price.

XSEED has been great about lowering their prices, and to be honest, the majority of their games are worth owning and playing. They’re slowly becoming my favorite niche publisher……

Yeah, I did this a few weeks ago, and while most prices are good, there are some standouts that just make you scratch your head. From memory, Square, Namco, EA, and Atlus were the worst offenders.

I don’t see why not.

Gladiator Begins had a demo if I recall, and it was shit. Wild ARMs XF, however, is all kinds of awesome. My favorite SRPG in a long, long time, if not ever. I put a good 70 hours into it and I’d gladly do it again. The only word of caution: the game focuses much more on interesting, unique battles and much less on character customization. You still change jobs for characters and learn new skills, but in my 70 hours with the game each character mastered maybe 3-4 jobs total. You have to specialize a lot more, you’re not going to have each character master each of the 15-20 classes available. Great game, though.

Sony normally doesn't update until Tuesday evening sometimes not until really late...

Yeah I was just in the store looking around. Nothing. Not even the best game awards price drops have happened. I'm expecting tactic ogre to be cheaper.

[Widgetcraft]

Looks like Dissidia 012 won the PSP game award... Kind of lame, I really don't like that game. 30% off this week once the update goes live.

I liked the first one quite a bit, but didn't see enough different about 012 to warrant another purchase.

Has anyone played both? If so, can you explain why 012 is better?

[Xerxes]

012? Fuck the folks that voted for that shit.

30% off isn't that bad a deal though.

[LarsenNET]

50% off for Plus subscribers.

[Xerxes]

As someone who still leans more to 360 than PS3, not sure of the major benefit.

For Plus? Some really great discounts and a good number of free games.

[Chris_D]

Plus Cloud saves.
