Nice to have a date at last!
No, there are a few other games I am interested in. I just never got the push over the edge feeling I am getting with this game.
See my above statement. Thinking this is the push I have been waiting for.

Don't worry man, I pulled the trigger on a PS3 because of this game (just got it 2 days ago). Of course, there are other exclusives I want to play like Uncharted 1-3, Last of Us, and Dragon's Crown but Journey was definitely the tipping point for me.

Most anticipated game of the year right here.
Question: Does the game only have online co-op play or can two people play on the same console? My girlfriend is probably going to hog it for a while. :|

Would be bought except I lost my Japan account during the hack... Forgot password and email. Is it still possible to set one up or did they block that?

AFAIK, unless changed, you can only meet strangers online, and are unable to communicate with them in any way other the in game "gestures".

Got it, so like Demon's Souls. I'll probably be buying another PS3 soon then lol. Wish this was on Vita.
Oh! my! goodness! So excited! thatgamecompany makes me so utterly happy!
Edit: It may be too soon, but part of me wishes this had a Move control scheme. Something simple, like hold the T button to move forward, in any direction you point. And the Move button for Jump or Call. March, please hurry up and get here.

Speculation over on thatgamecompany's forums is that the game will be released one week prior to the 13th, perhaps on the 6th, for PS+ members.
Could it be true? Maybe! And maybe everyone is just overreacting.

It looks like the PS Plus stuff may be scrapped for the time being.
And the game is coming out in the U.S. before Japan, so you don't need to get a Ticket for the JP PS Store.

Sony will be commemorating the Japanese release of Journey with a promotion involving thatgamecompany's previous two games, Flow and Flower (or Flowery as it's known in Japanese). The two games will be combined in the single "Zen Pack" for a limited time. This will be priced ¥1,000, a savings over buying both games at their regular ¥800 price.
Those who buy the Zen Pack will also be given a discount on Journey. The game will be available to Zen Pack buyers for ¥1,000, down from its regular ¥1,200 price.
The Zen Pack will be available from March 1 through March 14.

Well now it's official.
I need to replay Flower a few more times to get in the mood.

Perfect. Can't wait.
Well, you do have to factor in how much it costs to import all that data.
I know i know. Interweb connections are very expensive.
Only finished UC3 once, but I thought the sand/desert in UC3 was quite underwhelming after how much ND hyped it up. Aside from your footsteps dissolving, I really didn't find it too impressive. I don't even remember there to be a lot of sand particle effects like that Journey gif. I really need to play it again and platinum the game.

Were/are you disappointed with Flower's price tag? If Journey is a comparable experience - and it looks like it's shaping up to be - the price is pretty much a nonissue to me.
How does that work for digital download stuff on PSN and XBLA? How does it know which state's tax rate to use?
I love Flower, but Flower was 9.99. I was expecting Journey to have the same price. I'll still buy it, but I do hope it's longer than two hours.
I'm not from the US, so I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think XBLA takes the tax when you buy MS Points based on your billing address, and PSN does it at the point of purchasing the game, also based on your billing address.

Finally. I was starting to get a bit worried. GOTY for the first half of 2012 confirmed?

Gravity Rush and Journey = me so happy
It'll be 12,95 or something like that. They don't (usually) do conversions like 1$ = 1 for games, mostly just hardware...
True, but only for PSN games, well some are still 1:1 I believe, but retail games are still 1:1. $59.99 = €59.99
