Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE should buy Guacameelee at that price! It's my downloadable GOTY.

Still no word on whether you get a Pinball Arcade discount for owning the Season One tables on PS3 already, and no word on Cross-Buy or discount on the Vita version for previous owners of Terreria. Annoying, this late.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I've passed up Guacameelee! before waiting for it to hit PS+, but that is pretty damn tempting. Really wish it worked with PS4 as well.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Probably going to switch out hard drives soon on my PS3. I have a PS3 Slim from 2011 and am wondering if I should switch out the 160GB that's nice and full with a SATA or SSD (if the price is comparable) and at 5400 or 7200 rpms. Any thoughts?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I bought this 750 GB HDD at 5400 rpms. It works beautifully and almost silently. It's a total deal at $50. My review is up there somewhere.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

You wouldn't go 1TB for ~$25 more? Or is 1TB too much? I read somewhere the bigger drive can make for choppy game play - is that just nuts?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I'd go with one of the hybrid drives for a PS3. It'll help with load times and is your best bang for your buck compared to a true SSD. Something like this:

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I'd read something like that. Not sure if it's true. I will tell you that a 750 drive is HUGE, even for me, even keeping not only every PS Plus PS3 freebie, but a bunch of Vita stuff on there as well.
If there are lots of reviews that the 1 TB drives are working great in the PS3 Slims, go for it. But I can just confirm that $50 drive I bought works perfectly.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Okay at last we got our answer about what sort of a discount owners of PS3 Pinball Arcade get :

So half off + 10% Plus discount makes S1 tables $13.50. Good enough for me! :banana:

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I found a 1TB hard drive for $61 on Amazon and put it in my cart, but didn't pull the trigger. A few hours later, it jumped up to $70. That price shifting nonsense is garbage.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

So what is the largest drive you can put in a PS3 and still have it operate OK? 1TB? 2TB? I'm almost full on my 320GB. The free PS+ games are taking up so much space!

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

New hard drive arrived today. However, every time I try to use the Backup Utility with either of my external hard drives (a 2TB Seagate and a 320GB Seagate, if that matters) it says "Connect storage media at the save destination." The 2TB is brand-new and the 320GB has plenty of space and I definitely know it's already FAT32 formatted. What am I dong wrong here?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

I figured it out. Turns out it wasn't FAT32 formatted. Said it was but through another utility I found that it wasn't. Unfortunately, I downloaded some bloatware I'll have to hunt down and destroy on my system now before I found out Seagate has the Seagate DiscWizard to help do FAT32 formatting specifically for Seagate external drives.

Thank you Activision for some truly terrible deals. Saving 10% on the absurdly overprice Angry Birds SW for PS4 is bad enough, but asking $35.99 for The Amazing Spider-Man for the Vita???? That's a shoddy port of a bad movie that came out like 20 months ago. I got the 3DS version at Target for like $12 over a year ago, I think (for my son, not for me).

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Got this email today. Really good deal -- it's not like we won't eventually spend $50 in out PSN Wallet, might as well get an extra $10 by funding it now with Paypal.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Is Castle of Illusion worth $3.75? Anyone play the HD Update yet?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Great prices for both Mickey games if you are a plus member.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Wonder if Epic Mickey includes the Vita version?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Wonder no more : It doesn't.

The only full retail games with Cross Buy are PSASBR and Sly Cooper Thieves in Time. And R&C FFA (which isn't really a full retail game, though it was sold on disc).

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

People say that as horrible that Epic Mickey 2 is on the Wii U, it is even worse on the PS3 because of the controls. I have no clue if that's true but it makes sense to me.

EDIT:

How in the world did a Castle of Illusion HD remake get by me exactly? This if the first I've even heard of it. Consider it bought right this second.

EDIT:

When will these prices go live?

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Thanks. Too bad though. I would have been willing to give it a spin at that price.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

Tomorrow sometime, lately it's been late morning on the left coast, but it's oftentimes 3-5 PM PT before the store updates.

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

There's a Demo to check out, at least

Re: Official PSN Games Thread
 

So here's a question: if I'm playing a PSN mulitplayer game online like Grid 2 on my PS3, can I play it with a friend who has it from PSN but is playing on a PS4?

My guess is the answer is no but I think yes would be awesome.
