What are the different prices for?
Also, I remember a lot of PC folks saying that such price drops would never come from Sony/Microsoft.
Once a year vs. every day. As I've said in the past, if you want people to switch to digital, give them incentive to do so. Having sales like this is a start.
Also, the Playstation+ service is a good service, lots of good games for free.
PS+ is well worth the price of admission. Just for the price drop if you purchase about $50 a year off the store. You can go round and round you don't 'own' stuff but with the value delivered why would you stop paying for plus? Take a look at the stuff you could play for $50 a year. I would rag on the free game live gold people get but I can't do it without being an asshole. That doesn't include BF3 and Uncharted 3 that just hit the last few weeks. You MS only folks really should ask for more for your money.
I'm a MS only guy, like I've stated, but I tend to be pretty picky with the games I do buy. I'm definitely not a volume gamer, I don't think. Getting a half dozen games for free, that I'd never touch isn't much of a bargain either. I do see on a lot of forums that I'm pretty atypical, with playing almost strictly multiplayer titles, so there ya are.
Also, for the record, I'd pay more for Live. I enjoy it.
Multiplayer wise I'll be picking up Blops 2 for the PS3 finally and also Mortal Kombat for the PS3 (already haz for Vita).
We should probably set up a night for Blops anyway, and also for MK if enough of you pick it up. it's a fun button masher and the fatalities aren't as difficult to pull off as the OG versions.
Single player wise I'll probably pick up Alice, Arkham, and The Ratched collection.
No need to setup a Blops night... Between TLOU and Blops, I play very little else right now.
There are a core few of us that are on regularly.
Well now I feel like setting up a Blops night! Feel free to be on the other team. I need a good boost for my k/d twitch boy ;-)
I prefer digital downloads over hard copies. I'd say it's for convenience but I'm pretty sure subconsciously it's because I'm a lazy fuck and don't want to get off the couch to switch games. I'm not a collector anyway so it works out for me but it's good that there will be an option.
hah,
bring it. If I swear at you, it's not because I don't like you... it's because I'm bordering on lunacy.
Bordering my ass. You have a pseye right? Nix wants to watch you go banana poop on twitch tv. I agree.
Well. This should be streamed ASAP.
I'm on the other end of the scale. I enjoy a wide variety of games and I'll play just about anything. Most of the plus content ends up with me playing a bit and deleting for room.
Don't let MS know you're willing to pay more. I'm sure they would be more than willing to charge you for features built into their os.
PS+ is a great value at only 49.99 a year. I get to try a lot of games I would normally pass up on and with it I've gotten to enjoy games like Spec Ops and The Cave. I feel I'm getting more bang for my hard earned buck. Spec Ops alone used is 20... I'd beat it, trade it and lose money... so why not throw an extra 30 on it and get 64 games a year? Seems like a no brainer... a lot better than deoderant ads and commercials for 60 a year.
Might give it a try on the PS4
