Why is the Sly Cooper Bundle actually more exensive (by 2 cents) than the separate games? I even got the collection on Blu-ray for 20$ in store, brand new…
10$ for them separately, fine, we’re used to stand alone things to be more expensive, but 30$ is a little much for the bundle.
Somebody want to tell what the deal is with the LittleBigPlanet 2 Oddworld Munch Costume is it like a promo for the HD remake and what about Strangers Wrath?
When will Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy II (Both PSP games) be on American PSN? Cause It’s on Europen PSN more than 1 year.
@42 bagheadinc
I’m now thinking it’ll be released around Christmas time, just like the MGS and PotC packs.
$10 for De Blob 2…done!!! It is a great game for those of you wondering. Ahhh tis the season for a month long game drought. Merry Christmas everyone!
@Oowamoowa
Looking back at the very first paid avatars (LBP) it would seem the price has always been $0.49. Its been over two years since their introduction. I doubt Sony will ever comment on their pricing at this point.
@John-Shooter
You worry to much. Remember Qores second year? It was way better than the first!.. Except for the fact that it was way, way worse.
@JumpMan33
Yes they are. 3D is on the games boxart.
@rostin79
Bundles have been like that on PSN for a long, long time.
@Zezzler
Games that were previously only released at retail.
@Big-Bad-Boss
Look at all of the people with paid avatars and + symbols next to their names. Or the shovelware with measily discounts that sold out instantly on Amazons recent lightning deals. People will buy anything at any price.
@Bladesofgold
Given the proposed price of Vita memory cards I know I’ll be waiting much longer than a year to get one :o
do any of these games besides the Sly Collection & MW2 have platinums? maybe De Blob 2?
I believe all PS3 Full Games should have platinums
