[sprocket]

I just realized how cool this game is being on the psp and ps3. Can you share save data?

 

[KTallguy]

Wait, US store too?

Definitely

 

[Saterium]

Assuming it's like every other PS1 game on the PS3, then yes.

Wait, US store too?

Yep

 

[rollingstart]

are there any reason that someone who owns it on CD should buy it for PS3 again?

 

[pswii60]

Why is it not in 'Featured Items'? Do they not want it to sell?

 

[Christopher]

I'm buying it, if you wanna share - let me know.

I agree. This whole connectivity crap between platforms is really neat.

 

[dallow_bg]

Since this is the exact game, code and all, of our beloved PSX SOTN discs, this thead is more like a LTTP thread.

Also of note, it's $10 compared to $6 like the rest of the PSX games.

Nintendo VC tactics come into play.

I tried to send you a PM, but it wouldn't let me. :\

But you can trade for other PSN games.

 

[lyre]

All according to IGA's plan.

 

[M3wThr33]

Like I said in the PSN Update thread, it's a toss-up between buying this or waiting for Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP.

 

[Souther]

As cool as it was that konami released this on the 360. The fact that its now on the PS3 and you can also port it over onto your PSP makes it even better.

Comparison shots of SOTN on PS3 running upconvereted with and without filtering vs 360 version would be cool.

Also music in this game rocks

 

[reminder]

Why is it not in 'Featured Items'? Do they not want it to sell?

Now it is.

 

[Wario64]

$10? wtf? And no leaderboards or enhancements

You don't think konami had a hand in the pricing?

 

[BobTheFork]

Sweet, i never had a chance to play this before. i'm definatly going to pick this up... in a few weeks.

 

[Ryck]

You know what would rock, if I could just go home and rip my Ps1 disc of Sotn to my ps3.

 

[CajoleJuice]

$10? wtf? And no leaderboards or enhancements

But unlike the Nintendo VC games, that's actually CHEAPER than what it gets on eBay.

 

[Andy787]

Holy shit. That was totally out of nowhere. Now throw Metal Gear Solid up there, damn it.

Is this $6 like the rest of the PSone titles? If so, sold. I was just in the mood for something to play on my PSP. Awesome.

 

[M3wThr33]

I'm sure with the PS3 SDK out there, that may happen soon.
I mean, the PSP had the POPstation cracked on it to rip your own PS1 games.
I had a portable version of Driver!

 

[Souther]

This is true.


I will not be buying this. I won't support their incredible lack of effort on bring PSX games to NA for months and months and months, and when they do? They release ONE game, and it's $4 more than the original PSX games from launch.

I'll just get the PSP version.
My new PSP will have TV out soon.

 

[UntoldDreams]

Like I said in the PSN Update thread, it's a toss-up between buying this or waiting for Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP.

Wait... Isn't the PSP game coming a version of the Japanese "Castlevania Rondo of Blood"? That's a different game then this one isn't it?

Rondo of Blood never made it over to the USA.

 

[commish]

SOTN purchase confirmed. Sweet. I never played SOTN. MY PS was dead by then.

 

[M3wThr33]

Rondo of Blood never made it over to the USA.

Look again.

It'll contain:
Symphony of the Night
Rondo of Blood
Rondo of Blood Remake

I agree with your point about support but SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT for only 10 dollars....man if you only knew how many swap meets and 2nd hand video game places I ravaged to find my copy....

 

[krypt0nian]

Everyone who didn't pick it up on LIVE ARCADE must buy this game!

 

[OokieSpookie]

I paid 40$ for this on disk not too long ago.
$10 to play it on PS3 AND Psp ( until Rondo hits) is well worth it.

 

[dallow_bg]

Hehe, good thing I've had my copy since release day.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

But unlike the Nintendo VC games, that's actually CHEAPER than what it gets on eBay.

Difference, here, is that my PSX disk of SOTN runs on my PS3, but I can't plug my Star Fox 64 or Paper Mario into my Wii. The VC games require owning the original systems, as well.

Anyway, I'm skipping this, since I got the 360 version and the original PS1 non-Greatest Hits edition too. I'll just wait for Dracula X Chronicles.

Definitely recommend it to those who haven't played it yet, though.

Not only that...if you have a HD TV you can also play it upconverted aswell.

 

[USC-fan]

Wow didn't see this coming!

This will be great on my psp. I wonder how good it will look with ps3 filters.....

 

[Dante]

10 bucks for play on PS3 AND PSP aint bad at all.

 

[kuYuri]

$10? wtf? And no leaderboards or enhancements

Well yeah, that's how the games are supposed to be. Direct PS1 rips practically.

Anyway, did its release really warrant a new topic? :lol

 

[snorggy]

sucks that this is priced at a premium over other ps1 games otherwise this would have been an instant purchase... now i am deliberating...

how much was this on xbox live ?

 

[UntoldDreams]

Look again.

It'll contain:
Symphony of the Night
Rondo of Blood
Rondo of Blood Remake

Hmm.... Didn't know that but I see what you were saying now. Thanks.

I guess I'd still like to plug and play between PS3/PSP so this will probably work for me personally still.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

$10 (800pts) also.

 

[vercity82]

anybody wanna share will pay some towards less of a hit that way

 

[Creamium]

Look again.

It'll contain:
Symphony of the Night
Rondo of Blood
Rondo of Blood Remake

and a fourth mystery game! I will wait for Dracula X Chronicles.

 

[antiloop]

Of course it did. It's SOTN ffs.

 

[theBishop]

How long is Rondo of Blood? I'd rather wait for the PSP game, especially at $10 (at $5, i'd jump instantly).

But if Rondo is long enough on its own to justify the cost of the PSP game, maybe i'll play Symphony early.

 

[Doel]

$10? wtf? And no leaderboards or enhancements

You can play it on PSP as well, but I agree, its pretty steep considering the other PS1 games are half that.

 

[WTFing]

pics please

 

[Vyse The Legend]

and a fourth mystery game! I will wait for Dracula X Chronicles.

We know what the fourth game is already.

It's the cutesy super-deformed version of Rondo of Blood that would appear if you used a SM 1.0/2.0 card in your PC-Engine back in the day.

Edit: See it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9AnnFOYg64

 

[Grayman]

I am tempted to make this purchase. Since it is a 2d game it won't look half bad like first gen psx games do.
