Hello again!
Joel DeYoung from Hothead Games here. At long last, we’re thrilled to be able to tell the PlayStation community that Braid will officially be making its way to the PlayStation Network on November 12 for $14.99. The gang here at Hothead has been working hard to bring this amazing game to you as soon as possible.
Along with today’s announcement, we thought you’d enjoy taking a peek at the Braid trailer and a few screens of the gameplay experience. Check ‘em out below:
Stay tuned next week to catch an in-depth look at bringing Braid to PSN – It’s been a real pleasure working with Jonathan Blow and Sony on this project and I’m looking forward to sharing more details of that effort with everyone here. See you soon.
It’s great to hear the Braid is on its way to PSN soon. Though I haven’t played this game yet, I was impressed by it when my brother played the 360 demo about a year or so ago. Are there any plans for a PSP version of Braid or is it strictly for the PS3?
There may be improvements, i think that the 360 had native rendering 720p and this release does 1080p native, and maybe there are some unannounced extras..
Like the “level editor – option to import mods, like UT” given the PSN openness (here hoping)
Anyway i must mention that we are talking with a brave developer (Hothead Games) that opted to port this game to Mac and PS3, the original dev was Number None, Inc. (360, windows)
So thank you guys (Hothead Games)for betting on us, just show us a little love..
You what’s funny about all these people complaining about the $15 price point? Its that, even if this game was released a year ago, it would still costs $15 today. People here seem to think that downloaded games decrease in value as time goes by. It doesn’t work that way, this isn’t some old game taking up space on a shelf at some retailer.
That is why game prices go down, because they are old games that are taking up shelf space for newer ones coming out. They need to get rid of those in order to make room. When you have something that is downloaded, it not taking up space from a newer game. That’s why they don’t receive price drops. The only time that they do is when either the game sells poorly or its part of some special promotion.
If you are getting so huffy over Braid’s price, why would you continue to pay $10 for a game like Everyday Shooter when that was released over a year ago? Besides, its not like the developers are giving any special treatment to a single platform since Braid costs the exact same amount on the PS3 as it does on the 360.”

I could have not said this better myself. The pc demo really sold me on the game. I almost bought it during the $5 Steam sale and then I found out that it was coming to the ps3. I will gladly pay $15 for this game. Keep in mind i could have bought it $10 less on pc a few months ago.
Hi,
I’m really happy to see that Braid is finally coming out on the PSN. Will the game be available in Japan? If not, will it be available for purchase on Amazon.com?
Thanks in advance,
Shibataro
Unfortunately it will not be available in Japan since Sony Japan restricts PSN sales there to Japanese publishers. It will be available in the rest of Asia and Europe though.
