  • ‘Smart As’ is the Vita title? Really? The only thing interesting in this update was the Battle of Z sale but its the Vita version, which i’d rather play on my ps3.

  • Cool! another great update =D

  • Yeah guys, Smart As isn’t plus material =/

  • February plus update please?

  • Thank you!!! I love “brain games” and have been wanting Smart As… Think I’ll snag FF XIII-2 as well!

  • So hitting the Final Fantasy sale!!! Missed out on it last time. it will not elude me again! Thanks so much for doing it again!

  • Any chance we can see some DLCs discount for Vita games and PS3 games? Like Gravity Rush, Dead Space, ect.

  • best sale ever

  • I’ll be grabbing DBZ for Vita. FFXIII-2 for $9 is so damn tempting .___.

  • always nice having FF sales

  • What about Outlast for PS4?

  • Nice Final Fantasy Sale

  • Nice change of pace game with Smart As. I really enjoy the variety offered in the IGC. January has been a very solid month. Only thing I’d like to see different for Plus is more DLC sales, which tend to be grossly overpriced for most games, even ones 3 plus years old.

  • I hope Vita Tv gets announced for the west just because I want to play Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection on the big screen. If you own a vita or a psp BUY this game! What a steal :) I already own but will probably pic up part 3 and 5 and with that my FF collection on Vita will be complete until 10 :)

    Wouldn’t mind if Square put the PSP anniversary edition up on the store but they won’t :(

  • I really hope the February Vita IGC offerings are a hell of a lot better than pitiful January!

  • Nothing for me this week :-/

  • Smart As is better than a PSP Worms game but still not all that great. I hope Vita has a better month next month.

    Thanks for the discount on DBZ! I planned on picking it up and this only makes the decision easier :D

    Nice FF sale as well, though I already have all those Im sure others will enjoy

  • Which game will be replacing Don’t Starve as a PS4 IGC title when it gets swapped out?

  • Don’t Starve is leaving, What new PS4 is coming out next month?

  • when is next months being announced? Thursday I’m guessing, hope soon we get more then 1 PS4 title cause I got nothing Dec, didn’t enjoy Jans game and if Febs is the same as eur, then I won’t enjoy again. Only good I got for Vita were things I owned so I hope Dynasty Warriors doesn’t end up on it again making me get what I have already lol. ModNation I wouldn’t mind tho, I loved that game but no PvP was what made me get rid of it lol. But this is all personal opinion, won’t reflect on anyone else but yeah. I just want Crash to work on my Vita and nothing else would even matter lol

  • February ps plus instant game collection please :D

  • It should be noted you don’t need the original Dissidia Final Fantasy if you purchase Duodecim, as the original Dissidia can be unlocked on Duodecim.

  • Nice sale. Thanks for finally giving us FF series on Sale.

    Why are FF VI, FF VII and FF VIII missing though?

  • @18
    The game that will replace Don’t Starve is a real survival horror game – Outlast supposedly next week.

  • Outlast is coming to PS4 on February 5th and has been already leaked as the next PS4 game on the IGC.

  • Smart As is a great addition to the IGC. Anything with John Cleese is really pretty good, and this game is a good one.

  • What about FF 7 and 8? no sales?

  • @19

    Outlast was already announced for February as the PS4 title.

  • Will the Final Fantasy XIII-2 DLC be on sale as well?

  • That FF sale is exactly what I need! Been debating on whether or not to repurchase Dissidia Duodecim digitally since I bought my Vita last month, and since Duodecim is my all-time favorite PSP game. With this sale, I’m permanently ending that debate. Thanks for this! :D

  • I’m curious to know what games come in the Curve Studios Mega Bundle. Do I have to wait til tomorrow?

  • Please more PS4 content. Thank you. I still love my PS3 but I just can’t stop playing with my PS4. :D

  • Not trying to be greedy or anything but the Plus discounts seem to be non-existent.

  • I hope you guys consider putting that EDF Vita game in the IGC at some point. I’ve been wanting to try it but not quite sure I want to spend that much money on something I might not like. If I do enjoy it though I might even toss a few bucks at the DLC and pick up the new one coming out too.

  • Any idea on when we will be able to pre order Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes on the PS Store?

  • In the future, could the titles listed be links directly to the store? Just makes it easier to find the games or get to them directly. Thanks for the sales! I left Xbox for Playstation and I’m glad I did!

    • We don’t do that to prevent people from accidentally purchasing the game at full price, since the games don’t go free in Plus until the Tuesday store update.

  • No FF VIII sale this time around? :(

  • when will we know feb IGC? hopefully we will get something better for the vita, this month sucked.

  • Aw man I just downloaded FFXIV the other day…why couldn’t my urge to try it out hit a week later lol

  • the Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy is only for PSP or can be played on PS Vita?

  • @1: Smart As… is actually a pretty decent Vita game that, sadly, nobody bought.

  • Anything about the Playstation Now beta? It was supposed to start at the end of the month, and nothing has been said at all. Has it been delayed?

  • Playstation Plus has been giving us titles like bioshock infinite, brothers, grid 2 and borderlands 2 with a small subscription fee ($50 is small for a year). Having said that, I expect a AAA table every week. Get me Splinter cell: blacklist and Ni No Kuni in February so that I have played all titles from my 2013 wishlist.

  • @14 Origins is better than the FF1&2 on PSP. As it includes both, doesn’t have that weird gross neo FF look square is applying to everything, doesn’t mess with FF1 magic system ruining the game like the PSP version, can be played on PS3 too.

    And it doesn’t have load time issues like FFV or FFVI on PS1 either. It’s an excellent port much more faithful to the original versions than the GBA or PSP ones.

    If you have a PSP-2000 or 3000 you can get a TV out cable for like $5 and play it on your TV that way too, although you may have to use the zoom function on your TV.

  • When I saw FF sale I was going “Yes, I can finally pick up 8 and 9!” Saw 8 missing and went “At least I can pick up 9… Oh yeah!”

    The PS4 game next month I would bet would be Tiny Brains.

  • I’m glad that Smart As is on the IGC. That’s a game I probably wouldn’t have played but now I get to try it out. I still have Soul Sacrifice to play also. FFlll for $8.99 awesome!

  • Might have to pick up Final Fantasy III on the PSP, to this day it’s the only numbered Final Fantasy I have not played.

  • I’m excited for Smart As…! It was always a game that looked interesting to me, and the Beyond! crew always spoke highly of it, but seemed overpriced when it was released. Happy to be getting it free!

  • Can i play final fantasy I,II,III,IV and V in vita?

  • Hey Kristine: Dragon Ball Z isn’t part of the IGC. xD

    • That’s why it’s under “discounts” ;) Looks like that part wasn’t bolded though, so it’s easy to miss.
