This Thursday November 12, Braid descends upon the PlayStation Network. And that means I’m one happy camper. On sheer style alone, Braid is worth shelling out $14.99 in my opinion. But thankfully, it also happens to have some stellar gameplay that revolves around a time-reversing mechanic, which will keep you on your toes as you solve Braid’s numerous puzzles.
Don’t trust me? I connected with Joel DeYoung (you heard from him last week) from Hothead Games via PlayStation Eye, and he takes us through the ins and outs of Braid for PSN. And yes, there’s plenty of in-game HD footage to give you an idea of what you’ll get on Thursday.
When $9.99, I will buy it.
Remember when console cartridges cost $40-$50 and we paid that cash without thinkin twice about it. You still have to consider these are quality games at a fraction of the price we used to pay.
Man, this country has turned into cry babies and cheap skates. Buy it or don’t buy…don’t CRY about it!
Keep doin’ what you’re doin PSN!!
The price dont bother me, and the fact that its freaking really old dont bother me. Its the poor character design. Get a better artist next time please and thank you.
And the reason it took so long for this to come to the psn is….?? $15? no way. seriously guys, what are you thinking? This isn’t 2006… – News Flash – WE GOT GAMES NOW!
pantS,
That was then, this is now.
Then, there were reasons, the technology was not there to release demos to people at a cost effective/reasonable ammount.
The costs associated with developing games (or any software for that matter) was higher, the companies making the software also had to worry about packaging materials, instruction booklets, case, shipping…ect.
Now in the event of a digital release (production cost is as low as it gets), there are no excuses.

I also remember a time when people were not getting ripped off by these crappy publisher/developers. So we shouldn’t complain about getting rip off
On sheer “this game has been available on other platforms for over a year and can fairly regularly be picked up for as little as $5” alone it isn’t worth $14.99.
Wise man once said, patience is divine but never pay full price for late games.
braid was fun on the xbox.
i still never tried the speed run.
have fun. its a great game.
This game is worth the $15 for most people. I’m sure some won’t be satisfied, though I won’t say why to avoid being offensive.
The game is still $15 on 360 and PC, there’s no way it will be dropped to $9.99 any time soon until the other guys see a price drop as well. Might as well suck it up now and enjoy a great piece of gaming.
Even though there won’t be a permanent drop, Sony may be able to work out a promo sale of some kind like how Steam sold it one weekend for $4.99. That’s when I got it :)
$15 does not bother me, what bothers me are companies that sellout. I take it Microsoft’s $$$$ is more important to Hothead Games than PS3 consumers.
“No Sale”, i cannot support Hothead Games.
Sorry. Gotta go now, the knife in my back still bothers me.
Not sure where you\’re getting your information, but Microsoft hasn\’t paid us a dime for Braid. We loved the game when we played it on XBLA, so we collaborated with the game\’s creator to bring it to PSN (and to Mac). We love PSN and want to get more great games on the platform!
