Rag Doll Kung Fu to be free for a limited time?

PSN games have always delivered a great value for a meager price. Now, it looks like the deal is about to get even sweeter. Advertisements on several gaming sites have been spotted, indicating that Sony may be giving Rag Doll Kung Fu away free for a limited time.

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

to show the ads live...none are provided in the story.

[XxSolid SnakexX]

but I think it's a glitch because when you gou to games it says 9.99 but when you go to sprint it says free???

[lordgodalming]

True story. I'm downloading it right now for free.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Off were the Store.???

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Sweett Im downloading it now!!

[S M N]

In Sony we Trust

[darthv72]

Were there any other free psn games that I may have missed? I'll gladly get this one but I am just curious if there had been other promo titles given away up to now.

[gaffyh]

Yes I can confirm it is free, just go to the store, click the ad, go into Sprint and download the full game from there. This is a crazy deal, the game usually costs $10

Edit; It's only the US store guys

[lokiroo420]

darth it is the first of its kind outside or qore where several games have beengiven to annuals.

[darthv72]

Thanks for that. I had gotten many a free games from XBL and it is good to see Sony starting to offer similar goodies. Maybe sony should offer up a free movie or tv show once in awhile.

[Rich1631]

There was one over on Gametrailers.com, I wonder what is up.

[DasBunker]

if the ad in the pic. is real i bet it has something to do with sprint.. maybe like get the sprint service before may 21th and get a psn game free.. or summin.. looks too good to be true

[The_Devil_Hunter]

No its on the store for free..no catch...or is there.

[dznutz00]

maybe it has something to do with the new palm pre that coming out soon?

[antt3]

Yeah, I'm guessing you'll have to either buy a sprint phone or activate service or something, and then they'll give you a free game. But I guess we'll find out.

[SpaceSquirrel]

No strings attached!

[micro_invader]

All regions? I've already got the game, just asking on behalf of everyone else.

[SpaceSquirrel]

US only. But i think you can make a US account to dl it.

[Tetsuryu]

I can confirm this as well; downloading it right now (US Store).

[SafeRat]

Can't say no to a free game :D

[UltimateIdiot911]

No idea how the game is, but it's free. So I'm not complaining.

[Klopek]

Just made a US account. Nice ;)

[na2ru1]

Absolutely a blast when you play with mates. And the visuals are very sharp. Just another 1080p with LBP graphics. Achieving gold and plastic on many challenges is a bit tedious though.

edit: it sucks i know. i think it's only for USA though so no biggy for me.

[poopsack]

yeah kinda sucks that we had to pay for it though.

[S M N]

just make a US account, it so easy

i already have
US
EU
JP
Hon Kong

Accounts

[villevalorox]

well if its free ill be mad at myself because i just spent 10 dollars on it a few days ago.

[mcfebras]

Yes. It's true...

In the USA store it's free. I'm downloading it right now.

[cmacdonald]

Bonus game!

[PirateThom]

Downloading now!

[The_Assassin]

Wow so basically sprint has a deal now with Sony and did any one else notice that sprint has a section for themselves in the psn store

[antt3]

Yup, from the playstation blog:

"Hi Everyone –

For the first time on PlayStation Network, we have partnered with Sprint to bring you the PSN exclusive game, Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic, for FREE in the U.S. store. That’s right. The game is free to download this week. Check out the Sprint channel on PlayStation Store to access the game, free Sprint videos, wallpapers and an exclusive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Monsters XMB Theme.

Also, Bionic Commando Rearmed is on sale now for $4.99 (original price $9.99) for one week only, so act fast!"

[callahan09]

It's free right now. I'm downloading now. Awesome! Now I'm really glad I didn't buy it yet.

[Mikelarry]

better than free

[budbundystyles]

Free of charge, no questions asked. Just downloaded it.

[-x.Red.x-]

it's freee

thanks!!!

[slave2Dcontroller]

It really is free DL right now as well. THANK YOU SPRINT AND SONY!

[Simon_Brezhnev]

well im pretty pissed off i payed for it den

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Why a question mark?

I just downloaded it.

Feel sorry for those people that bought it though :S

[gauntletpython]

I think when they posted the article, the deal wasn't live yet, just the advertisements were up.

[antt3]

Yeah, originally it was "speculation" based on some ads that were seen around on the net. (consequently, that's why in my first post I was a tad cynical, saying that we would probably have to buy a phone to get the free game... :-P ) Glad I was wrong.

[gtafan]

Downloading right now. woohoo I just got 10.00 dollars back for no reason on my PS3 investment. It's so cool I am getting money back in my pocket. It pays to be a PS3 owner. Would also like to thank N4G and the contributor for bringing non-flaming news and instead a little reward for reading alot of the junk on here.

[Godmars290]

Are you saying that you bought the game before this deal, decided to DL it again and and got your money back, or that the money you spent on it is back in your account?

[gtafan]

No it means I don't have to spend money to get it right now. Because I was pretty close to buying it anyway so I saved some money. By not purchasing it. Come on man it's a joke some people are pretty lame.

[Microsoft_Spokesman]

Confirmed for free, downloading now!

I live in Canada and I was able to make a US account and it still worked!!!

Thanks Sony.

[ARog34]

...I open the store, and see sprint FREE Rag-Doll, WTH... downloading NOW! Is this too good to be true? This game is made by Media Molecule, if I'm not mistaken, the same devs for LBP!!!

AWESOME...! I guess it is true... oh yea, hopin' on Home now to get FREE appt!

[Godmars290]

And they just put it out too.

@Above:
They're offing a free Apt in Home RIGHT NOW. Fantasy setting set around a tree with a face and fairies in its branches. 4-5 fire pits you can turn into waterfalls and two large side rooms for furnishings.

Damnit, I think Sony just got me - I need matching furnisher. A BIG screen TV when they ever offer it. Maybe two.

[Whoooop]

The game doesn't feature online so I guess it isn't selling that well. That may be the reason they are giving it for free temporary so they can sell more later on by word of mouth.

That's just my theory... Anyway, it's nice to get it for free.

-Downloading

[ARog34]

...if it has Trophies?

at least something good about? Idk, a free game that is usually $10 is a REAL DEAL... holy cow! But, doesn't it also have offline multiplayer at least?

[Klopek]

It has trophies.

[ARog34]

-Quicky Review-

~First play was quite fun, just tried the tutorial, and made a character, and it appears to be a relative deep game!

~Yes, there is multiplayer (no online), but that's sufficient.

~Motion controls are crazy, and I guess I need to work with them more... the game is actually, ridiculously fun... woulda payed $10... but I DIDN'T lol!

[deshon09]

i love the price

[J@D]

free rulz!!!11 I must said ^^

[FireJackal]

One question,the game is good?
Anyway is free so that doesn't really matter =P

[Ldubbz]

on N4G, I think we can all agree free is good.

Will check this out tonight...but is this game any good? Looks like IGN didnt think so...

And Bionic Commando is only $5 like someone posted earlier, and will be 400 points on LIVE on the 25th of May.

[Traveler]

Cool. I'm going to go download it right now.

[cardgenius]

Game sucks. Now I know why it was free. Controls are way too loose for a fighter.

[Cajun Chicken]

Taking advantage of with my US code as we speak. Also, I haven't been on the PS Store for a while, how long has it been since Daxter has been free for Pain?

[Redempteur]

few hours only ..this week on Us store is great

[Cajun Chicken]

I can't wait to hear his soundbites on PS3, surely this means something, I also meant 'account' not 'code' for any confusion caused.
The EU store (my actual region) is pretty good too. Been a while since I've been on the PS Store like I said, might get me some more Pain locations.

[FunkYellowMonkey]

Cheers, NICE! :)

~funkyellowmonkey(ps3 id)~

[TwistedMetal]

psn mature community and network greater then all other console online services. also more free stuff in home available for download as well. im gonna go to Ea sports complex in home and play some poker while my dls finish. ps3 is the best and thats a fact.

[Persistantthug]

Will my original profiles Name and password be affected?

I'm asking because my current (and only) Online name/password is saved, and I don't remember the Password that I set up...so If it somehow gets erased/deleted, I'm kinda screwed.

So yeah....will I be screwed?

[Redempteur]

each account is separate.
so you can create as many as you want

BUt since you forgot the name and/or password of one , you can recover it on the e-mail adress you provided when you registered the first time

[LiquifiedArt]

It'll send you an email.

[Silly gameAr]

I was going to get a PSN card just for this game. Hell yeah.

[LiquifiedArt]

IS SO MUCH BETTER THEN MICROSOFT..

AHAHAHAH

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

BUBBLES TO ALL SONY FANS!!
BUBBLES TO ALL SONY FANS!!
BUBBLES TO ALL SONY FANS!!

[no-spin]

they support me too

I was going to buy this game. Now i get it for free! damn it feels good to play online for free AND get free games.

inFamous day one buy: because is a AAA game and to support Sony studios. PS3

[ZILLA]

this is why we own the KING OF CONSOLES!!!

[Lekumkee]

DL'ing some of the wallpapers and theme also just to show my support for promotions like this(hopefully other ppl do the same). I think this is great, you actually get a new-ish game and a "real game" at that, not some corporate crap like "Yaris Racing". TY!! Sprint/Sony... This is how you run a promotion!!!

[Shani]

yey... just got the game.. seems pretty good.

now I have US, EU, JP and Canada account...
