Greetings PlayStation.Blog readers,
October marks the one-year anniversary of the release of Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars (SARPBC), our first self-published title, and we feel like having a party. But what kind of birthday party would this be without gifts, right? We want you to come celebrate with us. So how about a birthday where we give the gifts to YOU! From October 15 through October 29, you can download SARPBC for just $4.99 in celebration of the game’s first successful year! Yup, not one week, but two whole weeks to get in gear and download one of PSN‘s most explosive and addictive games for only $4.99!!!
Like our fans, we here at Psyonix absolutely love SARPBC and its die-hard community; they are the best fans an independent developer could ask for, which is exactly why we want to recruit more of you! We know you’re out there, so let’s make the SARPBC community explode! Hop online, get in the Battle-Car arena and show us what you’ve got because if you’ve been waiting for the right time to get this game, there’s no better time than now!
Have you had the opportunity to play SARPBC? Have you acquired all of the trophies and/or uploaded your awesome goals and saves to YouTube using the in-game editor? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave a comment or two below.
Oh, and before I let you go, be sure to follow us on Twitter @Psyonixinc and sign up on our forums at www.psyonix.com/forum. And to all our dedicated fans already out there, thank you for all of your support and to one heck of a year!
Sweet
$4.99 is sweet!
Sold!
Good deal.
It’s my birthday as well.
Thanks
Yeah this is kinda annoying..to see price drops and realize u paid TWICE the amount. :/ well atleast there will be more people online now huh..mission accomplished sony. how about some exclusive stuff for the early loyal fans..like a new car or something :p
I bought this game LAST October for $14.99 and it was worth every penny! I’m still playing it to this day, and it’s a bargain for $4.99. Buy it, you won’t regret it.
For $4.99, I no longer have a reason not to buy this. I’ve heard great things about it, so I look forward to it!
Lol, now they change the price=). I will be buying .detuned and playing Uncharted 2. But thanks anyway.
Yeah, if you haven’t, pick this game up people. For 5 dollars it is the BEST deal on the PSN.
Great Job Psyonix!
Happy Birthday Ftwrthtx, I hope you and other potential new players love the game as much as our current fans do!
nYc, we LOVE our loyal fans like you more than you realize! That’s why we released the new arenas in August for free and will always release new SARPBC content for free. Oh yeah, look for some promotional giveaways soon, likely to be announced on our forums. ;)
I’ll be buying this tonight, even though it won’t be played until I finish Uncharted 2 and Demon’s Souls. The demo was a lot of fun, I can’t believe I forgot about the game.
Nice. Might have to pick this up with .detuned today.
great great great game, i was hoping to wait till it dropped to this price but i bought it about a month ago… amazing party game
to bad my credit card wont work on the psn…..and im to broke to buy a 20 dollar prepaid card…will amazon have it for this much?
Hey everybody! I’m a European SARPBC player who bought it at the European release back in February. To this day I’ve yet to let go of it. It’s just so amazingly addictive!
This game is for ANYONE who wants a good time with there friends, or wants to get some challenge online (While still having fun).
Also, if anyone is interrested in making montages, machinima or just short replays of their awesome goals or saves, then this is the game to get! It’s got the coolest replay editor ever!
I, myself, enjoy making montages… Here’s my latest one: *Free advertising*

If I were you I wouldn’t even wait for the PlayStation Store to update. It’s great!
Awesome game, now there’s no reason not to own it.
Go buy it people!
jerk_man, working on getting it on Amazon, but unlikely it will happen within the next two weeks unfortunately (not Psyonix’s delay – we’d love to have it there for you)…
Good competitive pricing. Now I’m motivated to spend a little cash on this. Since day one I thought the $15 price tag was ridiculous so I never bothered. Jordan, the key to having a block buster hit on PSN is to have a undeniable price (between $5-$10). Speaking for myself and a few friends, we don’t buy anything that’s $10-$15+ on PSN. My only two exceptions were Wipeout Pure and Lumines.
This is a really good game and if you still haven’t gotten it, the $4.99 price tag should not leave you any reason not to purchase this game.
See, this is how you publish on PSN. Release a good game and build a fan base, then keep all DLC free.Psyonix obviously realized that paid-DLC will just split up their community.
This is way better than the likes of Fat Princess where they expect us to pay for a single map!
Lame game. dont waste you $$ on this one.
I bought this game the day after it released a year ago for $15 and I’ve played it like it was a $60 game. I had to put away Resistance 2 to play this game because its just so fun and addicting. $5 is a steal for this game. If you don’t already have it, get it before the price goes back up to $10.
Hands down the best PSN title that is available! I would love to see like a thousand more people playing this game online and get some 3v3 ranked going finally. I’ve had this game since day one and it is the only PSN title that i keep coming back to for more! BUY NOW!!
Needs more info on how Dissidia will be up today.
I like the game but the heavy tearing of the graphics give me headaches. It would be so great if the game would run with vsync on, maybe a little bit slower! Other Unreal Engine Games dont have this issue, i wonder why!
Hi Tojeka,
We do have VSync available in the game\’s options if the tearing bothers you. We have it off by default because many of our players prefer faster framerate over VSync, but if it\’s stopping you from playing please try flipping that option to \”On\” and play some more!
Hey tojeka,
We have an option available in the \”System Options\” that enables VSync for players that prefer having it on.
We leave it off by default because most of our players have reported preferring the faster framerate achieved by leaving VSync off, but if it\’s stopping you from playing, please turn it on and see if that helps! Thanks!
