EU PSN - January Sale is now Live

Thinking about buying Puppeteer. It's looks great and I've heard a lot of good things about it, but, how's the replay value? Is it a game you only play once or are there challenges, collectibles or other things aside from the story?

Collectable heads in each level and once you get heads further in the game there are sections you can go back to earlier in the game to access. Nothing substantial however. A playthrough itself is alone worth the asking price. Presentation wise, it's like nothing you've seen and it's such a pleasant experience to go through. Levels are quite meaty in length too, so it's not a short game by any stretch for the price. There are challenge levels as well and again need certain heads to access.
 
Virtua Tennis on Vita - FINALLY dropped from £39.99 to a decent price (and what a price).

Need a 64gb card, especially with Soul Sacrifice dropping today on PS+

Some others on there too, such as Brothers which I missed out on. Might even venture into Bioshock again for £3.50 or whatever it was. How was the PS3 version? I played it on 360 originally.


Anyone played NFS Most Wanted on Vita? How is the performance? Good game?
 
Was really hoping for a sale on Sumioni and especially Atelier Totori Plus, so this sale is not really good for me, the fact the Dragon Age 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 3 DLC isn't on sale (while their resopective main games are) is an extra bit of disappointment for me.

Wait, I was planning on getting 4 but it's worse than VT3? I loved that game. At least, are the challenges as hard as 3?

I just feel like VT3 is faster and more exciting than VT4. There are some issues with the forth game, regarding player's movement and so on.

Played the demo in the store,and was really impressed with the graphics. Was it already in the IGC?

No, never was in IGC as I recall. Bought it recently for 10€, sold it a few days ago for 17€ (I don't know why either). Might gonna buy it again digitally.

Just bought Brothers; I was waiting for it on PC but I'll just double dip when it's part of a Humble Bundle. Also I was charged the full price didn't receive my PS+ discount, they stole 40p from me those bastards.

It does have some re-playability though nothing substantial, but one playthrough is enough to justify the purchase at this price imo. Puppeteer, Ni No Kuni and Tearaway are some of the most charming games I've played and the presentation for Puppeteer in particular is phenomenal.

Tales of Graces f - Knight Edition was tempting me, but then I start reading the OT and see lots of responses complaining about the painful story, characters and voice acting, which were also the reason why I never finished Symphonia, so that'll save me € 14,99.

WIll probably get Brothers only.
 
wow wow i am really impressed by this, going for Steam i see

Would love to get a few like ninokuni but i have upgraded to the ps4, dunno if i would have time for those games

Uh, I never said the original price was wrong, I said the list is riddled with mistakes and it clearly is:
Ah, my appologys I misread it.
Three reason why I still buy from our store.

1. DLCs are region locked

2. PS Vita only holds one account at a time restricting me from using different accounts

3. Some games are digital only E.g ''Muramasa Rebirth''

I almost don't even buy any physical copies from our retailers. Why should I when importing halves the price of games?
They're prettymuch my reasons for still buying from the Australian store (that and I have about 5 years worth of stuff on my AU account)

I recently got a US account though and don't regret it, although I have to use a PSN card it's so much nicer being able to get stuff for cheaper there.

OP,

LocoRoco is not available for Australian store. Only the second one is on the store when I browsed and it's not discounted. You might want to update that but wait for another confirmation regarding this.

Anyone else has LocoRoco 1 up on AUS Store?
I can find it just fine on the Australian webstore (seems to be discounted as it should be too)

Oh no, I do recommend VT4 on PS Vita if you want to play a Tennis game on the platform, it's your only option really. And it's just 6€ so go for it. The game is just... partially broken I think. (Volleys are either too powerful or a joke, running feels a bit clunky, some animations are weird and so on.)

Bought tales of graces F hope it is any good :) doubting about picking up Muramasa because already own that on the wii and not interested to play it again unless the extra content is worth it. Also bought Ni No Kuni physical Friday so i am kinda pissed about that one lol.

Is anyone having problems with PSN at all, I got a voucher from GameStop for a year of PS+ (it's just a receipt with the code on it) and am trying to redeem it, but it's saying the code isn't valid.

Anyone experienced this before? Really annoying.

Only if it's for a different region from your PSN account.

Wow, good job SCEE, for once. Imo even better than the Steam sale, which are the same games over and over again. Will probably grab a couple games. Already got P4G for Vita yesterday. The PS3 is definitely going out with a bang. Will never finish my backlog across all the platforms I own...
 
Glorious sale!
Will go for

- Brothers (looking forward to it!)
- Spec Ops: The Line (it is really good GAF, isn't it?)
- Mirror's Edge (loved that game, to complement my digital collection)

Have doubts about

- NFS Hot Pursuit (loved the settings and levels in the demo but it is a bit dull and the controls are shite, aren't they GAF?)

Will not buy

- SSX (as I am a Tricky above all lover and the CGR Undertow review told me that then I probably would not love it that much)
