Also yeah.. Rayman Origins… compared to the price when it originally released it should be discounted more than to $23.99
One PS2 Classic suggestion: Mega Man X Collecion.
Can’t speak for anyone else, but I would buy that instantly.
Btw why are both dissidia final fantasy games the same price $19.99 if the second one has more content… You should lower the first one $14.99.. So people wouldn’t be mistaken ^_^ and purchase the second one
I was buying Rayman Origins for 15 bucks… now I’m not sure. I feel cheated…
Awesome Update folks !!
Just want to see the Killzone 1 soon =)
I thought Rayman was going to be $14.99….
Is the game and all it’s DLC being combined into a single download (like what happened with the Hot Shots Golf Ultimate Edition a few weeks back) or does buying this give you the various seperate downloads?
Well, I was going to get Rayman: Origins for $15.
Ya blew it.
Also will u be releasing resistance retribution psp back onto the psn anytime soon? I really wanted to purchase it…
@ everyone….. pretty sure you can go to a retail store like Gamestop and get Rayman: Origins a lot cheaper.
used it goes for like $18. New probably $20.
Suikoden II.
Just make it happen already.
@JayBizzle311 – It’s downloadable for a reason, people want it downloaded to their console and for the price that was initially promised.
nah.. it’s still cheaper than the retail by a few dollars but still.. the principle of the point.. they already announced it for $14.99 and then at the last minute say it’s $23.99
there were deals on it a few months ago… I swear I saw it for like $15-$20 price range… maybe march??
either way.. I’ll probably be getting Infamous 2 since I don’t have that one yet.
check out the Dragon’s Dogma stuff and see if it’s worth it.
Who would buy a theme if you can’t even view it? What happened to previews?
Love the Assassin’s Creed 3 avatars and dynamic theme. Picked up a few avatars and theme plus I got Harley Quinn’s Revenge, awesome Playstation store update.
@TheJuggla17 I understand the principle of wanting it downloaded on your system… but if they change the price and a person wants the game they could just run out and go get it. A suggestion.. everyone is different.
I personally don’t care… I buy New.. I pre-order.. I buy used.. I buy digital. I own Xbox. I own PSN. I just game.
Under Siege only 5 now ? looks like i just might give this game a chance after all.
Yes it was 15 dollars back in March, thats when i bought my copy. Just waiting to see what free games Ill be getting in June, c’mon PS+ do not disappoint.
acr is $10 at best buy if u use a $20 off coupon buy a Mag if u not a member cost $5 single issue so final price is 15 bucks fyi valid thru 6/2 and game may also contain ac1
I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but I have been kind of disappointed with the pace of the PSOne, PS2 classics, and PSP additions to the PSN. I’m sure they take a long time to get green lit, ported over, debugged, and whatnot, and I know you’ve got your hands full with the vita launch, but I always find myself looking forward to the classics heavy updates the most. I don’t know if I’m the only one…
The flow of PS2 Classics has been pretty strong with the goal of getting one new one in there every week; but it may not always happen. But the teams are hard at work getting more of these titles ready to download.
