I'm pretty damn sure Grim Fandango will eventually be a PS Plus Freebie, but for $6 (and PS4-Vita Cross-Buy), I think I might go ahead and buy it now anyways.

chase3001

Please do I'm sure as soon as you buy it, it will be free for everyone else.

Michael Corvin

Sweet. Grim Fandango for Sept. Thanks for taking one for the team Decker!

The Questyen

I picked up Grim Fandango and Home.

Decker

Shit (Gone Home, Super Time Force Ultra) for September. Grim Fandango for October.
You're welcome.

mattysemo247

Gone Home? I thought that got canned?

Ringo20000

I posted this in the ps4 thread but it might be useful here as well. I found this site that will allow you to organize and search your download list on the playstation store:

http://repod.github.io/psdle/

Decker

Sorry. Grow Home.

Decker

Sorry, but that looks a little sketchy to me and makes me a little nervous, despite the reassurances on the website. I wish Sony would put together some sort of search engine themselves.

Decker

Done. For $6, I can live with it going free eventually. Might as well show Tim Schaeffer some Playstation love at that price.
Good News : it includes a free PS Vita copy with Cross-Save
Bad News : The Vita version is a 7.2 GB file! That's like over twice as big as Borderlands 2.

XavierMike

Wow,

I have a 64GB card, but I'll still have to delete a few things to buy it.

Decker

I'm completely baffled at that file size. I've played the PS4 version for a while -- the game looks pretty good but it uses prerendered backgrounds and isn't particularly hi-rez. It's fully voiced, but other than that I have no idea why the file is remotely that big. Even on the PS4, it's "only" a 4 GB file.

cleaver

Are you sure it's 7? Sometimes they list the combined file size for cross buy titles, like the God of War collection lists something way bigger than it is.

Decker

I doubt that's the case here since there is no way to download Vita games off the PS4 and there is no PS3 version of the game.

Maybe they're wrong, but here's the listing for the Vita version :
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-...IMFANDANGOPSVI

Jcheckel

It's the combined file size. The download of the Vita version on the PS3 is 3142MB.

Decker

Okay, but combined with what? There is no PS3 version of the game and you can't download Vita games on the PS4.

edit : I guess that's the combined file size of downloading a copy of the PS Vita game to your Vita and to your PS3. Stupid to label it like that then.

Keith6601

It's the download and install so that's why it's doubled. You can have the room for the actual game, but if you don't have the room for both, it yells at you.

Decker

Well the new PS Plus Freebies are up. Congrats to all of you clever consumers who selected the $7.99 Grow Home to be the free game of the month rather than the $19.99 Armello or Zombie Vikings which receive 30% discounts instead and will now cost $13.99 instead. I salute you all with my new Bionic Arm :

Gooter

I voted for Armello

LorenzoL

Hey don't blame me! I actually voted for Zombie Vikings.

astrochimp

Well shit!

Sorry

joeblow69

Yep, just tried all 4 ... crap, crap, TeslaGrad seems like it might be interesting, but I couldn't kill the very first boss (yes, I'm LAME).
Xeodrifter looks like it could be a super cool metroid clone, but it's too frustrating to me. I don't have the patience to die that much at the beginning of the game. Why does everything retro have to be HARD? why can't it just be FUN?

Decker

Joe, you're far too insightful to be a modern independent video game designer. You should go find another line of work.

joeblow69

lol ... my problem is this whole idea of "free" games... it puts me in the mindset that if it doesn't grab me by the balls in 5 minutes, I move on. If I had paid $10 for Xeodrifter, I'd probably still be playing it right now.
