@84 Under Siege for $4.99, sold! Agreed, for that price, this game deserves a shot.

@ Everyone regarding Pure Chess, $7.99 for *each* version does seem high (everyone has their own internal price points for items) and then having Day One DLC on top of that is over-the-top for me. And that isn’t even where you buy the DLC once, and get it for both. Absolutely ZERO incentive to buy both copies given those prices.

Kind of an OK update. i like the fact Gravity Rush finally got a demo, granted i dont see why it took so long when some Gamestop (sadly none in my area) had the demo since the launch of the Vita. Resistance is another demo ill probably download. Ill probably download the NicoNico app. seems interesting, but i dont know.

All in all its an ok update. would be better if say we got more psp titles during this time, or maybe some information on when PS1 support will be open. Its just too fishy that we still have zero information about it except the bogus “Soon”. It does seem like its going to be released at E3 and if thats the case that pretty damn sad. Unless we were told beforehand, i dislike the fact they withhold content that is full and ready because of some gaming convention. Yes people want Ps1 support, but its nothing big that it needs to be held till E3.

All in all good update, but could be doing a lot better.

Sony needs to fire the idiot in charge of pricing already. Is it really that difficult to check what other retailers are charging for games, or does Sony just not care and would rather screw over their loyal customers? First of all, we were promised a discount on all first-party digital Vita games, yet Resistance is full price. Didn’t take long for Sony to renege on that promise. Next we have Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. I can go to any retailer right now and buy it for $40 or less for a brand new copy. The same thing goes for the majority of full games on PSN. Digital games should be cheaper than retail, not 25%-50% more. Sony’s vendetta against Gamestop would be much better served by making customers happy, rather than giving us the finger around every corner.

Free piece of advice: We cannot sell or buy used copies of digital games. Perhaps you should make it more enticing to buy digital.

If people really wanted Rayman Origins, they would buy it and not moan about it. Better yet, get off your butts and go look for it in a store somewhere, or maybe it’s to hard to walk and complain at the same time for some folks.

@99,

To be fair, this whole, buy once get two concept is a new one, so I will say it’s been a pleasant surprise these days that I shouldn’t come to expect.
That being said, it would be nice if at least the DLC worked on both. I think it’s odd that it’s day 1 DLC, but it might not have been the case when this game was released in Europe earlier.

May 29, 2012 at 3:14 pm PDT

@ Sergheiev

The second episode it scheduled for June. I know i kinda dont understand why they stated a monthly release when they did nothing for May. hopefully we dont have to wait till August for Episode 3.

Also i dont get why people are hating on other for a simple mistake. Seeing as how nowhere was it stated that the price would be raise on the Rayman deal its kind of obvious some people will be upset, and they have every right to express how they feel. How would you feel if a game you may want was having a sale then flat out changed without warning? I’d be upset too.

Great update… just bought Just Cause 2 Ultimate (and got mad for inFAMOUS 2 and MK Ultimate being waaaaaayyyy cheaper than my hero/kollector edition T_T) anyway, these Ultimate Bundles were a great idea! I just want to see some games I’ve been waiting for a price drop (such as Prototype (bundle it with Prototype 2 and/or make a sweet discount for Plus members pretty please!) Burnout Paradise (I’m kicking myself because I’ve missed last year’s HUGE discount on this one) and some other nice titles too…
Anyway[2] I can’t wait to see what’s coming for PS+ in June *-*

Oh, and a little suggestion: try making the digital game downloads cheaper than their physical versions (or maybe include some sweet stuff to justify the price, you know)

Prinny 2 should read PSP, surely?

Not a bad update for Vita owners, very glad Resistance has a demo, as I’m on the fence about it. Not paying full retail for the DLC version though, that’s absurd.

I’ve been critical in the past, so it’s only fair that I recognize the great work you’ve been doing recently, both in terms of the time of day for updates and I’ve been seeing more content I like lately as well (ps1, ps2, psn etc…)

Please continue your excellent work. Good time to have a PS3 (lots of great games lately on disc as well).

Already own my Rayman origins copy from long time ago but…

The change price at the very last second in Rayman Origin will hurt a lot the sale, i believe a ton of people will avoid buying it, even at this reduced and fair price, just because they will feel cheated.

I would been a lot better if you let the people know with a lot of anticipation, doing this in the very update is too irregular.

1) Rayman Origins was promised at $15. This is bait and switch. Not buying it at the higher price on principle, nevermind that I already have it on my 360. For $15, I would have bought it again!

2) Having to buy Pure Chess twice is ridiculous and unprofessional when all PSN/Vita simultaneous releases so far have included the Vita version for free. I’m not buying the same game twice, sorry. Making the Vita versions free for PSN purchasers drives Vita sales at this critical time.
Erlaxis
May 29, 2012 at 4:20 pm PDT

You know, $23 isn’t bad for Rayman, but the announced $15 price was better. The $8 difference can buy an amazing game like Shatter, for example.

I was willing to pay $15 for the game because it was a great deal. Now I will wait, for some reasons: first, I don’t want to get into this situation of paying more than the originally announced price. Second, I know that Ubisoft can give us better deals (they did with some other games recently, here on PSN). And third, I still have a couple of unfinished games on the shelf (including the Ultimate JC2 deal that came out today), so I don’t really need any new games immediately. I can easily wait some months before finally buying Rayman Origins.

Where is Episode 2 of The Walking Dead? The episodes were supposed to be released monthly, and we have yet to see or hear when Episode 2 will make it’s appearance. There has been speculation for a release date of today (5/29), however we know that not to be true as it is nowhere to be found. It’s not like it is a piece of garbage like Back to the Future, or Sonic 4. I don’t see anything very stellar about this week in releases. The only things that are worth anything are Resistance for my precious, and again for my precious the Gravity Rush demo.

I’m sure that having to buy twice Pure Chess in Vita and PS3 is entirely decided in the developer side. Having both systems i think i won’t buy either, to encourage developers who are more friendly with my pocket
BPinter
May 29, 2012 at 4:34 pm PDT

1) As a previous commenter posted: “Why is Resistance, a FIRST PARTY game, full price on the PSN? We were told there would be a discount day and date for all first party titles if purchased on the network.”
Agreed. At least, that’s what I remember hearing. Extremely disappointing and I have to say I feel as if I was fed lies.

2) I have been meaning to purchase Just Cause 2 after hearing such good things and being included in several “PS3 Hits You (Probably) Haven’t Played” lists… I’ll be picking it up today!

3) Rayman Origins at $15 would have been a definite buy for me. Love it on the Vita.
BPinter
May 29, 2012 at 4:34 pm PDT

4) Pure Chess as not a purchase-once for Vita and PS3 seems ludicrous. It is your right to do so, but c’mon… part of what makes other ecosystems (like Apple’s App Store) such a huge hit is because of the value to the consumer. I always look for apps for my iPad and iPhone that are “+” apps and designed for both iPad and iPhone and shy away from apps that require separate purchases (which is thankfully becoming less common). I understand the coding is different and there is optimization required, but most people don’t understand that. If you want to move products (games) make them flexible and let consumers consume them the way they want. I promise you, your consumers will reward you.

Ya know, i had purchased Rayman Origins on sale for $20 dollars some weeks ago. I then saw the June publish that said it would be $15 for Plus when it was supposed to come out so i returned the copy i bought and waited for the day it would be on PSN so i could buy it for $15. That got delayed till today and it’s not $15, so thanks but now i don’t even want it anymore.

Also when Disney Universe it PSN, it was $15 like stated so i don’t see what the problem is here.
