Sony has refunded people in the past for price changes, talk to their support and pray.

Visual novel. Realy popular among fans in Japan voted best game of all time etc, IIRC.

That's an incredible price, but I don't really need a digital copy over my Limited Edition one. 
Visual novel, regarded as one of the greats.

Still no English dub right?

Whenever a game has dubs, I usually choose the dub.
But with Steins;Gate, there's no way I'd want anything other than the original voices.

Why did I have no idea what this game was?
Is it something like 999/VLR? Or nearly as good?
Edit: Oh, it only has English subtitles? Bleh.

Fantastic game. Just make sure you've got enough party poppers to make it through the snore-inducing first couple of chapters.

It won't be getting one even though the anime has a dub cast.

Good deal! I bought the physical version for $19.99 on Amazon a couple of weeks ago, so I'll pass on this.
I've been playing on and off since getting it. This game is awesome.

Thank you, it's mine! I've been wanting to play this for the longest time and thought of it again today. Might as well take the plunge.

It's a visual novel like those games. There are no puzzles to solve, however. The gameplay consists of using your phone to send or reply to messages and call people. You can also choose not to reply, or not to answer a call. This is the only way to affect the story.
It may sound simplistic, but imagine being in a very tense moment, and deciding in a very limited time whether or not to answer that decisive phone call, or to press the "Send" button for that significant message. The game will throw those moments at you. It's very interesting.
Steins;Gate is definitely a fantastic game, and at this price should be tried by anyone.
I don't understand this mentality. The anime had one of the greatest dubs ever produced, so I don't see why the original Japanese audio can never be surpassed.
But anyway people, please buy this game!

I prefer the original audio w/subs, every time. Yet is subjective. This game has me verrrry tempted. I think I'm about to pull the trigger, I love this genre.

I have the anime blu-rays with the original and the English dubs. That was an informed post, not a "mentality".
You're free to disagree, however.

On the second chapter of this, I'm really quite impressed, especially the humour, had no idea it would be so funny.

Oh yeah, good point. Few games have made me laugh like this one.

Pretty much the same story but it explains stuff better than the anime does and it has more story stuff.

Trigger pulled. This deal is just too good to pass up. Can't wait to jump in!
it's like those but without the walking and the class trials and all. Just the reading part. But if you don't have something against certain anime cliches, you might like it. It's really good.
Duuude, you really don't want to replace the awesometastic japanese dub with some lowlevel english dub, i tell you.

One of the worst dubs, more like.
Anyone with an interest in video games and story telling needs this, stat. Like a few others here, it was my goty last year \o/ No small feat given that 2015 also had Mario Maker!
I watched the anime afterwards and also loved that, though the game comes out on top due to its greater detail.
I thought the dub was fantastic, in particular Okabe's VA really impressed me.

Well, the dub's localization was a bit overzealous. I thought the voices were pretty good regardless, I wouldn't have minded having them as an option in the VN if they kept the script the same as it is now.
The Japanese voices are still great though, anyone who disregards the game just because it has no English dub is missing out.

I wonder how much it would cost to dub a VN like this considering the amount of dialogue.
