1)amiga revival: amiga collection or remakes(ala putty squad, sorry stardust, i want hd 2d games! XD )
2)fallout 3 spinoff: seriously bethesda, take fallout 3 as is(same environements, characters, enemies etc), adjust it for vita, make a new story(even shitty i don't mind), add a pair of new abilities and i' pay an insane, INSANE, amount of money

 

[Wazzim]

Wat.

How? I have it preordered for 23€ and that's only thanks to the 15€ off coupon Amazon.de gave out to people preordering a Vita.

They had a wrong price and a couple of gaffers were quick to preorder.

 

[archnemesis]

Wat.

All five launch titles from Ubisoft were mis-priced on Amazon.co.uk for a few hours. You need to pay more attention to the Cheap Arse Gaffer thread!

 

[Suzzopher]

I'm surprised Amazon still haven't cancelled the order to be honest.

Edit: Still thinking of cancelling my MvC3 order and waiting a couple of weeks for Street Fighter x Tekken instead.

 

[Number45]

Behold:

Spoiler

I'm sure they'll cancel it before long!

 

[Suzzopher]

If they do cancel them, I shall buy both Lumines and Rayman digitally.

 

[nofi]

Hope not, I did the same.

Ah, okay.

For I moment I pictured a horrible pre-launch bomba and Ancel's crucified body being dsiplayed in fronz of Ubisoft's hq.

It's true, I haven't checked the thread more than once every (other) day for quite some time. Every time I check the deals are on sites that don't send to where I live, are on systems I don't want the games on or snatched up by hotukdeal guys in seconds. Now there's a great deal and I miss it.

Damn first world problems.

PS: Is there a launch date for SFxTekken? Amazon.de doesn't even list the game for Vita and Zavvi says 22.2. as a placeholder date.

 

[Suzzopher]

I think Street Fighter x Tekken is the same day as the HD versions, 9th March.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I think Street Fighter x Tekken is the same day as the HD versions, 9th March.

That's some good news.

 

[Kafel]

I think Street Fighter x Tekken is the same day as the HD versions, 9th March.

I wouldn't count on this.

 

[Number45]

Is it sad that I'm more interested now that SFxT has Mega/Pac-Man in it? Literally zero interest before that point.

 

[Hasemo]

I think Street Fighter x Tekken is the same day as the HD versions, 9th March.

According to the official site, the Vita version's release date is "undecided":

■発売日：【PS3/Xbox 360版】2012年3月8日予定 / 【PS Vita版】未定

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Yeah, the more recent trailers show stuff like "PS Vita version also in development!" and don't mention a specific date. I think it will trail a couple of months behind the console versions.

 

[The Elite]

According to the official site, the Vita version's release date is "undecided":

Bah. I was just going to buy it on Vita. Hmm. Might grab the console version now.

 

[Suzzopher]

According to the official site, the Vita version's release date is "undecided":

Bummer

PS3 version it is then.

 

[Ainigma]

Sorry if this is stupid question...

Can I download and play the 10 free digital games (GT, Assassins Creed, Mod Nation, Wipeout Pure etc) I got with my PSP go on the Vita when it's released?

 

[Hasemo]

Yeah, since they're tied to your account.

As for the SFxT, I'm pretty bummed as well, since I was sure it comes out at the same time as the HD versions.

 

[Ainigma]

Thanks.

I hope in the future, publishers release dual format packs where you get PS3 and vita versions together for a reasonable price.

 

[Hasemo]

Thanks.

They're already doing it with some games, although I can't remember any other than Motorstorm.

 

[Suzzopher]

Pretty sure Yoshida said Ruin would be.

 

[Ainigma]

A Blazblue Extend or Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 bundle would have me sold.

2 weeks from release and still no PSN prices is a major clusterfuck, what is Sony even doing?

I'm wondering if they aren't going to reveal them at all. They may not want to hurt retailer presales.

 

[Suzzopher]

I can see them revealing the PSN only games prices and release dates ahead of the launch, but the actual games I doubt we'll know ahead of time.

 

[TheGrue]

Anyone know if UMvC3 on Vita has that card mode they patched in (Heroes & Heralds)?

 

[Takao]

I'm wondering if they aren't going to reveal them at all. They may not want to hurt retailer presales.

More like they don't want to crush dreams.

 

[Spiegel]

PSN prices = MSRP

They don't have to reveal them.

 

[Hasemo]

PSN prices = MSRP

They don't have to reveal them.

That would be a bit unfair, considering that the Japanese ones are much lower.

 

[Benjamin1981]

PSN prices = MSRP

Even MRSP prices aren't what Sony said they would be. In december there was a blog post with prices for their games. Now every game is 50 Euro on Amazon.de. SCEE can't be trusted when it comes to prices. They will fuck up the PSN prices big time and charge MSRP. Then watch SCEA price games with a 20% discount on PSN. The outrage on the EU blog will be glorious.

 

[Takamura-San]

The PSN app updated on my vita and I'm using an US account.

We may be able to see the prices soon.

I fully expect the American PSN to have better pricing for digital releases than the Euro store. I wish I could change my primary PSN account's region.

 

[StuBurns]

That would be a bit unfair, considering that the Japanese ones are much lower.

That was true of PSP too. It's not a question of fair, it's a question of market strength.

 

[Spiegel]

PSP games on the JPSN are lower priced too because stores don't sell games at the MSRP.

 

[Benjamin1981]

Just take Modnation Racers or Everybodys Golf for example.

MSRP in America is 29,99 dollars.

MSRP in Europe according to Amazon.de is 49,99 Euro.

I expect SCEA to charge 24,99 dollars for the download. SCEE will probably charge the same 49,99 Euro

How sad would that be?

 

[madmaxx350]

you just want to see the prices lol. But seriously though, I hope they do reveal them, at least tomorrow and oh! A PSP storewide sale would make me very happy.

 

[BadWolf]

They probably want to boost retail sales, announce the prices now and if lower then I can see a lot of ppl cancelling their pre-orders and what not.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

That was true of PSP too. It's not a question of fair, it's a question of market strength.

That's what my answer was going to be. I'm buying most Vita games retail anyways. Unless the inevitable great PSN sale happens. That's when, much like Steam, I jump on the games for reasonable prices.

 

[Takao]

SCEE is more likely to offer discounts on downloads than SCEA is.

Also, Hot Shots is $39.99 right now, and that's likely its MSRP.

How sad would that be?

MSRP for Everybody's Golf, Wipeout 2048 and most other big releases is €40 in Europe.
MSRP for FIFA, LittleBigPlanet and Uncharted is €50
Reality Fighters, Katamari, Ridge Racer, Asphalt and a couple of other games are €29,99.

It's basically a scam by SCEE but there is nothing we can do. Even SCEJ isn't as bad as these guys.

Sad enought to create a US PSN account to be the main Vita account. When I got my PSPgo, I made one. PSN EU prices are awful.

 

[Benjamin1981]

MSRP for Everybody's Golf, Wipeout 2048 and most other big releases is €40 in Europe.

I've looked up all the major online retailers here in Germany. Those games are 50 Euro everywhere.

 

[CrankyKong]

Just looked at an australian retailers site and saw Lumines costs $70!!
Compared to Uncharted for $60.

Surely the US Lumines isnt that high.
How big could its budget have been?

It's $39.99 US.
Uncharted is $49.99.

 

[dark10x]

Do we have any word on Ridge Racer yet? Is it still the same bullshit package that Japan received or did they add some additional content?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

RR will be a good 10 dollar PSN purchase.

 

[DBT85]

It's the same bullshit half a game for half the price yes.

 

[madmaxx350]

It's the same bullshit half a game for half the price yes.

was that confirmed?

Thanks for posting this. I locked in an Amazon pre-order at $29.99 just in case I decide I do want to get it.

 

[Jinfash]

Wow, I had no idea they ditched the $29.99 tier for first party games. Bomba prices it is.
