(The CCS sale price for DR1 is $23.99, and for DR2 is $27.99 – both prices in USD and CAD.)
any news on the sword art online sequel coming to the states?
http://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2014/11/sony-computer-entertainment-america-provide-consumer-refunds
so when are we going to see this?
Sword Art Online -Hollow Fragment- just for $15.99? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D will be mine tomorrow!!!!
Borderlands 2 please!! :)
Zero Escape is listed as 12.49 even though I’m a plus member?
OMG I’ve been waiting so long!!! I’m buying so much!
Did you really say system continues to deliver some of the best portable gaming experiences around? Where are the 1st party games from Sony itself? Most of the 3rd party games are good but i miss 1st party game you guys made; how about adding some old games to the PS Vita like rogue galaxy as HD Remaster. I would 100% buy it again if trophy’s are added.
Wish the Vita happy B day and hope it gets more respect by getting awesome games and more new comers to buy the handheld for games. >.<
I’ll pass, most of the games have been cheaper in the past or free.
No Tearway? Meh
Thanks for the sales and freebies. Vita is such a great device, love it!
NO KILLZONE LOVE…… bouhou!
I want “Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth”, “Gundam Breaker” and “Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Tag Force Special”, please bring then to us!
Call of duty: Declassified and Jet Set Radio for me!
Finally some love for the Vita! Thanks! :D
I’d love it if Nep PP went on sale like Nep Re;birth 1
Now that we have Suikoden II, I will start pleading a new game:
999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. this is a perfect game for Vita! Any chance?
All I’ve been waiting for is Walking Dead Season 2!!! It’s never on sale damnit!!! Its been on sale on all other systems except Vita. Wtf?!?
As Frejim said, “I’ll pass, most of the games have been cheaper in the past or free.”
I like my Vita a lot, but considering I own a smart phone, most of these “sale” prices are quite hilarious.
Wow, 3 its been 3 years since the Vita arrived stillborn. It makes me wonder what life would be like had it survived
THANK YOU!!! Sword Art Online will be mine.
wow all those games neither of the Rayman games are available :-/
Atelier series for me and Hatsune :) – Perfect!
I’d love to purchase Urban Trials to own permanently, but downloaded on PS+ a while back.
Any way to make that happen.
Also, castlevania drac X is worth a play through.
We need more AAA games fact! just got a new ps vita and i like it
Thanks for reminding me, I actually forgot that I own a Vita. :-/
I was really hoping to see Killzone on the list. I’ve been waiting to buy that digitally for a while now (I missed a previous sale)
See, this what I am talking about. It was because of Plus that I started telling everybody I know they should get a playstation. I started the generation with only a Wii and 360 and ended playing ps3 almost exclusively. Never would have thought it. Going to have to get another 128. I have 5 memory cards and they are all full lol.
Not sure if this sale extends to PAL regions but either way, I won’t be buying any more Vita content. By removing apps like Youtube and Maps as well as not producing any AAA software for the system, it’s obvious Sony has chosen not to support the Vita. So why should we? Negative criticism is ignored and any attempt to ask questions to Shuhei Yoshida, Scott Rohde, Shahid Ahmad is arrogantly ignored and blocked. Celebrate it’s birthday. I doubt you’ll be celebrating the next one.
Please tell me that eventually prices for memory will drop. This is the single only thing that is holding the Vita back. All of these great games on sale with no where to put them…
How’s that Sword Art Online?
Ok guys, now I need help. I can only get one. Should I buy Sword Art Online or Tales of Hearts R?
Sony… Stop this nonsense. This makes 3 good sales back to back. My wallet is crying. Have mercy.
I’m hoping whatever else is on sale this week is better than this. Many of these were on sale cheaper not even that long ago. Nothing special here. Let’s keep seeing those ps1 and psp games sales though! Those are awesome! Still want to see Valkyria chronicles 2, wild arms xf and parasite eve go on sale!
I can never get over the pricing of Angry Birds for $39.99 when it’s on my phone for $0.99. Absolutely ridiculous.
I have to echo the complaints on this sale. Yeah, its great to have a sale, but there really isn’t any splash to this. For a birthday sale you’d expect to see more of the big AAA titles like Assassin’s Creed Liberation, LBP Vita, Uncharted Golden Abyss, or Killone Mercenary. None of the best games on the system are on this list.
That is of course if Sony wants anyone to be interested in those type of titles on Vita again. Even the absence of the Ratchet and Clank collection and God of War collection is not good. The Jak and Daxter collection was a terrible port that suffers from serious frame rate and control issues.
Sony, if you want people to get excited about Vita again, you have to do something that is actually exciting. This just isn’t it.
Typo: “And in case you missed it, make check out..”
I hope this means that we will see more AAA support at E3, i mean God of War,Motorstorm,inFAMOUS,Killzone Mercenary 2,Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper would be great announcements.
Love this sale finally VITA gets some love and man i love jrpgs
This is cool the vita has been getting some love, but I hate to mention a lot of these games were already given out on PS+
I just bought a PS Vita less than a month ago. Been playing it everyday since I bought it. With this sale, I see it was worth buying! Happy 3rd Birthday PS Vita!
if I can throw out 2 recommendations. God eater burst and hdnr1. Both games are fun and have a enjoyable cast.
Happy Birthday Vita!
I love you the way you are!
It’s about time they put a lot of that stuff on sale. Gotta have super cheap games to warrant the purchase of a super expensive memory stick. Nice to see someone at Sony remembered they still make the Vita.
Atelier series <3
I wish the God of War collection was apart of this sale.
What I don’t understand is that it’s called a 70%/80% off sale, right? But if you look at most of the games on sale, they’re only 50% off. Wonder if this will be changed.
Wow, I just got a PS TV.(Just not into handhelds).
Definitely getting SAO. I wish Hyperdimension Neptunia ReBirth1 was compatible :(
Any recommendations?
It is very difficult to verify if a Vita game is compatible with PS/Vita TV. It’s been released for only a few months. It does not seem like SCEA is putting any resource or focus to make sure it is successful. I love my PS TV but I have to say that you guys need to work harder on supporting it.
Please! I need advice; DBZ Battle of Z or Black Ops?
I know that Black ops had a lot of flaws when it launched, and I usually don’t expect that much of a shooter. In the other hand; I wanted to try the Battle of Z game, but it was always at, almost, full price (PS3).
Being a DBZ fan and a shooter fan…. and broke; I don’t know what to choose.
BEYOND!
