    We already know that nobody is forcing anyone to pay $30 for Far Cry 2. The complaints are not about that. The complaints are about the unreasonable pricing. People need to express their thoughts about these serious mistakes in pricing, so others are aware of the risk of paying too much for a game. Some people might even buy it by accident, and talking about it is a way to prevent that from happening. And when people stop paying those unreasonable prices, maybe, just MAYBE, publishers will reconsider their pricing policies for digital downloads.

    But we can be certain that we don’t have a chance of that happening if we keep accepting those ridiculuos prices.

  • march month next year my ps+ will expire and i will never make that mistake again,ps+ is a waste of money and time

  • I have another suggestion.

    For us PS+ members that pre-order, can our games be pushed via automatic download?

    I’d love for this to be downloaded and installed by the time I get home from work.

  • @149 I agree that 30 dollars is way too much I have said that earlier on here and yes i would like too see more reasonable prices for ps3 download games more like amazon prices that is a good place too look at for a good price.

  • Huh, I actually got a lot of these sale items just right now. Good deal…

    Mega Man stuff, TestYourself bundle, Boom Beats, Ninjamurai…

  • @149 words right out of my mouth as I was reading his comments.

  • Hey Morgan idk if ull respond or not but ive been a long time sony supporter ever since i was born i think i had a ps1 and i have bought all the systems you guys have realesed ps1 ps2 ps3 psp and all I ask if u guys is when Crash Bash will arrive on psn its been on Japans Psn for 3 Years what could possibly be stopping you guys from putting it up and whats up with the Dead Psp content havent seen anything good since the outage on psn ??

  • About FREDDY! darn Time…

    OH yeah FREDDY is in the HOUSE!

    Got FREDDY so I’m Good…

    By: DCS

  • Another sad week for PSP users. I’m not surprised since Sony is prepping for the the PS VITA but Sony don’t give up on (or forget about) the PSOne revivals.

  • $30 for a bargain bin game… absolutely ridiculous.

    why is there not a single release for the PSP?! way to support your products Sony!!!

  • Huummm…

    Driver Demo and Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost And Damned for me…

    :)

    See ya…

  • Far Cry 2 for $30? I can pick it up at a bargain bin for $9.99.

  • Im impressed

  • When are we getting splinter cell hd trilogy in the US?

  • FANTASTIC!!!

    AMAZING UPDATE!!

  • @gearhead32

    You must work for Sony because no one in their right minds would reply to everyone who has pointed out the obvious about the FC2 pricing. Hope you’re getting over time, bud ^_^

  • Far Cry 2 is cheaper new at your local retailer.

  • I use my PSP Go as my movie device now that they aren’t making ANY games for it.

  • Why is there no downloadable PSP games since PS Vita obviously won’t come out in the US before 2012???

  • Ya know what? I’m not even going to get upset over the price on Farcry 2. Instead I’m going to point and laugh like I’ve never laughed before at the idiots who actually pay that much for it.

  • Getting Freddy and maybe SF3, or not. will be getting Freddy of course.

  • More DYNASTY WARRIORS: GUNDAM 3 DLC is all I need. Some decent stuff for PS+ members too!

    ****PROUD PS+ MEMBER****

  • Please tell me when From Dust is getting released on PSN?!

  • street fighter forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • “You fail me yet again, Starscream”

  • Come to think of it; When is Cladun X2 supposed to release? I haven’t seen any news regarding it here, yet it’s supposed to be this month that it comes out.

  • Freddy kruger thats awesome!

  • Wow.. nice they could have atleast waited a few weeks before they screwed us with the MK content….. it would have been nice for them to announce that they would have done a season pass thing with all characters like they did with xbox. atleast i wouldnt have had to log on to realize that i could have waited a month or so get all 4 characters for $15 insted of $20. – i guess thats what you get for being a faithful early adopter..

  • Why are all these whiners always complaining to Sony about prices the publishers set?

  • It is such a weird thing to see many gamers here on this blog ask week after week including myself, for psOne titles and yet we do not get many. I would presume that there are alot of things that go into getting the green light to release psOne titles, but damb, I see this as such a huge missed opportunity.
    I’m very happy with the steady release of PSN titles and 1 party titles, but someone at sony needs to step up and get the ball rolling on getting more psOne titles released.
    I already purchased around 25 psOne titles and I think that Dino Crisis 2 was the last one that I purchased.
    I know members of the staff read and reply to many of these comments, so who ever is reading this, know that we have our wallets open and ready to purchase these titles, all we need from you ” SONY “, are titles to purchase….Gamers speak with their wallets.

  • Sweet update! Looking forward to PLAY!

  • I may have impulse bought Far Cry 2 at $20. Oh well, as many have pointed out it is easy to find cheap in store. Maybe a PS+ discount would help. After all, we already have the game downloaded from the trial.

  • Far Cry 2 … Amazon $18
    PSN $30

    Last Week:

    Dragon Age without Expansion … $30
    Dragon Age with Expansion … $18 on Origin 40% off sale.

    Your marketing department needs some serious work. The PSP digital download prices are just as bad. Valkyrie Chronicles is still $40, while the UMD is less than $20.

  • @164 LOL I i wish i was getting paid no problem just wanna help out and point out the obvious over price on Far Cry 2 and maybe this over pricing of ps3 download games will end wishful thinking but, hey might as well give it a shot.

  • I should be hired as a price consultant for sony on the psn store pricing it really needs a lot of help

  • Got RDR undead nightmare pack right away

  • Great update. Plan on preordering AT LEAST two of the PLAY promotional games.

    On a different note, any chance the PS3 will be updated so that Youtube videos can play in HD and not 240p? It looks so horrible…

  • Madden 12 demo!

  • Sorry, but I am tired of hearing about ps1 games!! Go to EBay and buy them. I never sell my games and still have all my ps1 and 2 games, if I want to play them I just break them out. This is 2011, not 1997!!!!!!!!! Quit whining and enjoy what’s out there for the ps3!

  • Oh em eff gee, these Mega Man games are JAPANESE?

    I mean the title and everything. The manual. Is it that hard to have a translation overlay/layer? Or just offer the English language version to the North American playerbase? Seriously.

    Stupid me for being all “Oh neat, the games I already have since the NES are cheaper, I’ma just get ’em for the PlayStation, too.”

    This is super Japanese with new menus and stuff. No idea what I am doing. I feel extremely lucky to be able to start up a playthrough. What the dang.

  • @189 I am tired of hearing the overboard whining about ps1 games as well I got my ps3 too play ps3 retail games and psn download games not too go back in time and play ps1 games I have a ps2 for that.

  • the freddy DLC is awesome!..i got the red dead redemption undead nightmare i liked this update, THANKS!

  • I realize the PS3 and the PC are two different platforms, but something really has to be said when PSN charges $29.99 for Far Cry 2, while I was able to get both Far Cry 1 and 2 from Steam for less than $10 not too long ago.

  • That a boy Morgan get that 1 reply in and take off for the day . The more things stay the same , the more things stay the same .

    :)

  • I would be thrilled to stop receiving Sega games as the “free” game each week for PS+ members. Every single one of these games is on the Ultimate Genesis Collection. PS+ hasn’t been exciting since the outtage in April. Please, bring back the PS+ I remember. I miss the quality.

  • @193 totally agree there is no excuse for charging 30 dollars for far cry 2 is way too much i could see maybe 15 dollars for the game but even that would be overpriced it should be 10 dollars with the dlc with it as well.

  • Please I Want inFAMOUS 2 ( Good & Evil ) Avatar For US Very Much .

  • :( Square Enix you are letting me down. I want to download Final Fantasy V and VI and Parasite Eve II and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

  • I gotta agree that $30 for Far Cry 2 is super expensive. I actually bought the game about a month or two ago and only paid $8.
    It sucks that there is nothing good this week. I already have Comix Zone (as part of the Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection). The only thing interesting for me this week is the Driver demo and the MK DLC. Glad I waited on getting the characters.

  • @catharasis,
    The thing is, pspGo users such as myself, sold off all of our UMD disks when we puchased the all digital pspGo.
    So we are forced to purchase all of our psp content from PSN.
    I think that we pspGo users have a solid argument when it comes to buying PSP/PsOne games.
    We cannot take advantage of sales from amazon/ ebay & gamestop/ like psp slim/phat owners, because of the digital nature of the pspGo, so the next best thing to do is voice our opinion to sony.
    My personal goal is to repurchase all of my favorite psOne titles that I sold,
    ie-
    Klonoa
    Ape Escape
    Alundra2
    Elimental Gearbolt
    Tobal #2
    Rival Schools
