$7.99? Was expecting $9.99. Bought.

 

[gofreak]

Nice IGN review.

TTP was hawking me on this earlier too, which is a good sign.

Thursday might be a relatively expensive day on PSN (this + Fury).

 

[Wollan]

Definitely picking this up. 9.0 score @ IGN as well. Videos alone though should convince you of a polished game.

 

[GeoramA]

Buying the game and the awesome soundtrack.

 

[Slaylock]

I can't find the wrestlers.

I'm still on the fence on this one. I wish there was a demo.

But I loved Gripshift, so I'll probably take the plunge.

Here's an interview with Mario for the OP:

[kassatsu]

Anyone know what the euro/pound price will be

€7.99 | £6.29 ?

 

[Loudninja]

$9.90 AU thats all I seen from Mario.

 

[Hypereides]

Shatter the official thread made of sexual orgy & nerdgasm special effects

Cant wait.

 

[evlcookie]

$9.90 AU thats all I seen from Mario.

$10 AU? That's it? SOLD! Guess i will be playing this on friday night and the weekend.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

IGN review solidifies this as a buy. Well done Sidhe.

 

[Bearillusion]

I will buy this. Another Mario game for the PS3 is a good thing.

 

[Loudninja]

I will buy this. Another Mario game for the PS3 is a good thing.

That sounds funny

 

[dralla]

oh this game would be perfect for the youtube uploading feature

 

[Mario]

Thanks for setting up the official thread.

Anyone know what the euro/pound price will be

€7.99 | £6.29 ?

€5.99 | £4.99


Also, I mentioned it in the other Shatter thread, if there are any Wellington based GAFfers interested in Shatter and 18 or over, send me a PM (less dodgey than it sounds).

 

[kassatsu]

€5.99 | £4.99

Thanks, updated

 

[Stillmatic]

Am definitely getting.

 

[Dead Prince]

Am buying. hopefully people buy it enough they bring out some level DLCs ;D

 

[Audioboxer4]

£5?

Seriously?

:lol

Spoiler

Sososososososo gooooooooood. Day 0.

 

[Mario]

£5?

Seriously?

We decided Europe had suffered enough.

 

[Audioboxer4]

We decided Europe had suffered enough.

I thank you kindly for such good pricing. I would actually of paid around £6/7, but this makes it even sweeter.

You guys should look into a PSP version, that would be awesome.

 

[El-Suave]

€5.99 | £4.99

Great price, when currencies are actually converted on PSN like it's been done lately, most of the time think it's almost "too cheap". In the back of my head I still keep thinking that 1:1 $:€ conversion would be normal and fair. It's still a nice surprise when we're being treated fairly.

 

[hesis]

Good stuff, will most definitely buy.

 

[Corran Horn]

Is it bad that I spent like 2 minutes trying to find the wrestlers in the picture? :lol

Getting, love these brick breaking type of games.

 

[Hypereides]

We decided Europe had suffered enough.

Mario you lovable hunk of kiwi meat.

As a european I am giving you a standing ovation.

 

[Chris Remo]

I read this as "Shatner Official Thread" and got excited

 

[Agent X]

Just two more days until this game is mine!

 

[kadotsu]

I was expecting 8€ and would have bought on Day 1. 5.99€ is a steal. Best of luck to Sidhe.

 

[soldat7]

$7.99 + 10 levels...I hope there's DLC.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

I'll buy it.. looks cool.
But that IGN review is useless. it's written by Daemon Hatfield.

 

[Audioboxer4]

$7.99 + 10 levels...I hope there's DLC.

10 stages, not 10 levels.

Each stage has about 7 levels?

 

[Mario]

$7.99 + 10 levels...I hope there's DLC.

10 worlds each with 7 levels, a Boss battle and a bonus stage plus seperate Boss Rush Mode and Bonus Mode, all with leaderboard support.

 

[UnluckyKate]

We decided Europe had suffered enough.

Well thank you kind sir.

Finaly someone who want my money. And who will get it.

 

[soldat7]

10 worlds each with 7 levels, a Boss battle and a bonus stage plus seperate Boss Rush Mode and Bonus Mode, all with leaderboard support.

Well tie me up and call me Shirley. I read it wrong. That's an awesome deal.

 

[Steroyd]

We decided Europe had suffered enough.

This makes me so happy I could cry. T_T

 

[TTP]

Well tie me up and call me Shirley. I read it wrong. That's an awesome deal.

And it's a 60fps game, so it's even more awesome.

 

[BeeDog]

Day 1, damn at that price. This game looks pretty fucking awesome!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

And it's a 60fps game, so it's even more awesome.

Let us pray

 

[Kiriku]

€5.99 | £4.99

Wow! At that price, there's no doubt.

 

[TheExecutive]

The 7.99 price point is sweet enough but 70 levels with 10 boss levels and 10 bonus levels, oh and the best brick breaker possibly ever?

One should prepare oneself for a psn hit. I am glad I just found out about this game because the sufferring would have been too great to bare. Day 0.

 

[BlindMonkey]

£4.99 Day 1

 

[Torgo]

Buy it!!!

Here's a lengthy gameplay video from E3.

That's me playing and Mario talking.

[Shins]

I read this as "Shatner Official Thread" and got excited

I'm not alone!

 

[CHRP718]

Day 1, going to buy a PSN card for this 2morrow

 

[Lain]

The 5.99€ price is great. It really shows that some people do care about us EU gamers.

 

[Tiduz]

will buy as soon as it goes up

 

[kassatsu]

Anyone know if they trophy list has made it online yet?

 

[RavenFox]

You know after watching pulse I hurriedly launch the PSN store to purchase it and didn't pay attention to the release info lol. I was like Holyyy Sh....... I need this bad. That gamersyde vid didn't help either. Bless you Mario

 

[No_Style]

$7.99 is a nice surprise. Will buy for the awesome beats alone!

 

[Fuzyfrog]

How much is it on the NZ store ?


$10

You guys shouldn't be surprised the soundtrack is awesome

Very very strong electronic music scene in NZ. We make arguably some of the best drum and bass
