Just FYI, my local Target has Ratchet and Clank PS3 on clearance for $40. Not that great of a deal, but they have a metric ton of them. Stuff doesn't linger in their clearance section long before it gets slashed even more, so it's worth checkin the price if you happen to be in there the next few weeks.

It's been $41 for about three weeks now. Most Targets have probably slashed it further by now, assuming they still have any. Mine only had two left a few weeks back.
Also Uncharted was cleared out at the same time as well.

Anyone hear of Gamestop getting in PSN cards this week? I know all about the leaked memo that GS is supposed to get them sometime in 2009, but I had a few employees tell me they're supposed to get them in sometime this week, they just have no clue when. I have some GS credit to burn and this would be perfect for it.

Everyone needs to buy Eden. I'm definitely in for Echochrome, I forgot all about that game. Are the free level packs still on the marketplace?
Are these prices effective immediately?

What are the other sales that occur during the year? I remember one this past summer I believe. Do they do a sale for Christmas or anything?

I went ahead and purchased SFII. It would have been definite at $9.99, but I was undecided when it was announced to be $14.99. I became even more undecided with the launch of the $5 game sale. Decided to just get SFII for now. I haven't played Street Fighter in years and was never a die-hard fan, but I imagine I'll enjoy it.

I think that when they started, you had to buy a certain amount of "funds" and then redeem out of that, but later they changed it so you can just buy something for the exact amount without adding funds. There is a minimum of $5, so if you were to buy something that costs $1.99, you'd spend $5 and have $3.01 available for a future transaction.

DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
What the hell is Novastrike? I've never even heard of it. I'll pick up Commando 3 for sure, I loved that demo even though most reviews were not too kind to the game. Of course, I bought the rest at full price (sigh).
And the free bonus levels in echochrome are downloadable in-game. Unfourtunately, they're not individually selectable; you just play whatever pops up next.

Is there a better way to organize the downloads in the PS3? I'd love to separate the demos from the full version of games that I've downloaded. Currently I have to scroll through a few dozen titles to locate the occasional full game.

I also recommend Eden. I paid full price maybe 6 weeks ago, and it's been a great game. Garden 7 is a pain in my ass, but...
I picked up The Last Guy (played the demo three days ago and thought, "Fun game, but $9.99?" Lo and Behold!)
I also picked up Echochrome.
While Call of Duty, etc. obviously look awesome on PS3 and are very fun, it can sometimes be the simple concepts/games (Eden, Echochrome) that really display the next gen formats. E.g. Eden is a fairly simple game, but (to me anyway) seems to rely on you having a nice big t.v. to look at the environment. While the controls may have been physically possible when Mario first came out, I don't think it would have been much fun. I guess this is kind of how Pixar movies seem to be the demo DVDs for blu-ray at places like BB... simple clean lines, big vibrant colors. Fun stuff.

Press the "triangle" button while the game is selected to open the menu; select "information." Change the album name to whatever you want (such as "Demo" or "Downloaded" or "PerryD's Favorites" or whatever). While you're looking at the game list, the square button changes how they're grouped: all (one long list) / by album (what you want) / by format.

Yes there is an Eden demo, or at least there was when the game came out in July.

Picked up Echochrome and a demo of that block puzzle game (no, not Lumines, the one where there's three different areas that are sold separately and in a bundle). Thinking of paying full price ($7 or so for all three locales) for the puzzle game, the demo only gives 3 minutes per locale.
Any good puzzle games?
