Playstation Network and PS Plus Discussion

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

You're definitely missing out. GTA 3 is just the tip of the iceberg.

Exactly. When(if) they put GTA Vice City on the PSN, I wont hesitate to purchase it. Even though I didnt play GTA 3 in 1-2 years, it is still fresh on my mind. Even GTA San Andreas is fresh on my mind, since I beat it a few times.

But, I am definitely waiting on Vice City. I havent played it in several years and I think I only beat it twice. The story isnt as fresh on my mind as the other games.

$100 in a huge month such as this may not be difficult to reach. Two PS3 games, or one PS3 and one Vita, normal PSN purchases...it could add up quickly.

Nice promotion, but I have to think about what I'd actually buy. I'd hate to do it just for the heck of doing it. If only it ran until the end of the year/world...

Nice promotion, but I have to think about what I'd actually buy. I'd hate to do it just for the heck of doing it. If only it ran until the end of the year/world...

If I can pull one game out in October from the pile, then I'll re-up on Plus for the remaining cost to get to $100. I was going to do that anyway when the time came (or have it auto-renew), but might as well do it now if I can get $20 back. No way I was ever going to miss out on Plus for Vita.

I'm watching the NBA2k impressions very closely - there's definitely a possibility of me going PS3 on that this year, and that would certainly cover this. Tired of the PC version getting the shaft every year, mods or no mods.

Persona 4 on Vita got bumped to November, which would have made this academic for me.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Anyone able to play online at the moment?

I just got disconnected from the EA servers (Battlefield 3/FIFA 13).

And when I tried to access the store I got some strange error (80710D23).

But this is only happening with the US Store, the UK account I have seems to be fine.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

Zero Escape sounds right up my alley. Loved Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and have considered picking another DS back up to play 999, as I've heard good things about that game as well.

Silent Hill on Vita should be great.

Re: Playstation Network and Discussion - The New Beginning

I've never heard of King of Fighters. What genre is it?

It's a fighting game, the series dates back to the arcade and NeoGeo hardware from the 90's.
