you know it will but I'll give it some time and pick it up when it's half off, if not free for PS+.

edit: Handleit_44 said PS Blog comments say it will be $10. Forgot to mention it will be cross buy.

yeah it doesnt seem to worth it to buy any new downloadable games on PSN...just what for it to be free on PS+

Yeah, it's supposed to be $10 and I'm hoping at least a few dollars off for PS+.

$10 for two copies of the game and you still want a discount? :luuuke:

Oh, don't get me wrong, if it's just $10 I'm still going to get it. But with the pattern of the way things have been going lately I'm thinking it will be $8 for PS+.

PS Vita: no price cut for America, Sony confirms

PS Vita will not be receiving a price cut any time soon, Sony has confirmed.


Sony announced that it was cutting the price of its PS Vita handheld across Japan, during a webcast on Monday.

It sparked questions about similar cuts in the West, but Sony has stated that it’s standing firm on the matter.

Joystiq asked SCEE president Shuhei Yoshida if the PS Vita would get a price cut in North America, to which he replied bluntly, “No, it’s not.”

Meanwhile, speculation surrounding PS4′s pricing is growing. Michael Pachter and his colleagues at Wedbush Morgan have predicted that the console will launch somewhere in the $399-$449 price range, while UK retailer ShopTo is taking PS4 pre-orders now, with an expected price-tag of £399.95.

They need to drop the price at E3...

 

[Swarley]

When they dropped the price in Japan early this week, I was almost certain they would have done the same thing here last night. Baffling.

 

[jms493]

Drop the price of those dumb ass proprietary memory cards...

Retro City Rampage Developer Says Vita Version Most Successful

Despite the bad rap that PlayStation Vita has been getting as of late, developer Brian Provinciano (creator of Retro City Rampage) says that indie developers should give the system a second look. He also says that the Vita version of RCR has been the most successful.

In a tweet he sent today, Provinciano stated: "Indies should definitely jump onto the PS Vita. RCR's sold much more on PSN than XBLA and more on PS Vita than even PS3."

After some of his followers asked questions regarding whether that included versions of RCR released for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers, he responded: "This doesn't include PS Plus. It's _SOLD_ far more on PSN than XBLA. With PS Plus, there are a bajillion more copies out there"

He also compared PSN sales to RCR's Steam sales: "Steam's done far better than XBLA too, but PSN has still done the best."

He also appeared critical of Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade, tweeting, "[It took] two bouts of 6+ months of pitching, paperwork, negotiation just to get onto XBLA. It's absurd. They don't make it easy." and added, "It cost more to do the XBLA version than all other SKUs combined. Made more on all other platforms. XBLA: 'a learning experience.'"

Conversely he praised both Nintendo and Sony saying, "Nintendo's great to work with. Both Sony and Nintendo are welcoming to indies."

It's interesting, and definitely echoes what we've heard from other indie devs, who seem more and more disenchanted with Xbox Live Arcade.

 

[Twigg4075]

Huge shocker. M$ sucks big dick when it comes to a lot of things, most importantly Live and XBLA.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've seen one of these articles. You just don't see them about PSN, Steam, etc.

Minimalist platformer Thomas Was Alone comes to PS3 and Vita

Thomas Was Alone on PC, but now he'll have company on PS3 and PS Vita. Developer Mike Bithell is bringing his minimalist platformer, about the coordinated escape of a rectangle and his new friends the, um, other rectangles, to Sony platforms with Cross Buy this spring.

As you go through the levels, using different quadrilateral characters' different properties together, " you'll hear an awesome story narrated by Danny Wallace (Assassin's Creed) and scored by the epically talented David Housden," Bithell explains. "On PS Vita, you can use the touchscreens to select characters, or to control the camera."

The new console version of the game will include "creator's commentary," and will be the first version to receive a DLC prologue "about a square who is given a jetpack."

I saw a tweet about that last night and had no clue what they were talking about.
