They are doing this because they are going to announce Ps4 and it won't have any BC. So you'll all buy a bunch of Ps3 stuff before the big announce (6/4/2012)

Flame on bitches.

slixshot4344d ago

@Conzul You make me lolz... :)

Conzul4344d ago

No really think about it.

The image says the Offer is good through 6/4. That's pretty much when E3 starts. They want a buttload of purchases before some big announce happens.

slaton244344d ago

6/4 is a week most sales last one week dream on about announcement of ps4 maybe next year

MAJ0R4344d ago

Sure it's unlikely that the PS4 will be announced, but you never know. This also could be because of Steam and Amazon sales, and Sony are attempting to compete.

ShinMaster4343d ago

*sigh* it's a sale. 30/%50 off = Good.

Kevin ButIer4343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

Wow great titles... here I go Red Dead Redemption... what are the titles you are going to buy?

RumbleFish4343d ago

@MAJ0R: they don't really attempt to compete with prices like those.

rmedtx4343d ago

Sony supported the PS2 for years after the release of the PS3. I think they are still releasing games for it. I'm sure they will support it for a few more years.

Can't we already find these game prices on ebay ? And after playing the game we can resell since it's on a bluray.

orange-skittle4343d ago

All these games are old and I am sick of them trying to rehash old games at retarded prices. Repacking old games at prices that we could easily buy new arcade games for.

DJLB21154343d ago

*puts face in hands in sorrow*

some people :(

............

orange-skittle4342d ago

What are you...sheep? You keep buying games that you already bought just because they package it differently and include every in nice tight bundle? I don't know where you're from, but in my neighborhood we call that a sucka. Sounds like you're a sucka

bwazy4340d ago

I didn't buy many of these games, sorry the 7 billion people in the world don't have the gaming collection as you.

I'd keep going, but its way too clear that you're trolling on a redundant level.

LOGICWINS4344d ago

20 bucks for JC2 and ALL its DLC? SOLD!

Brownghost4343d ago

Terrible for pc but great for ps3

mushroomwig4344d ago (Edited 4344d ago )

They're definitely starting to push PlayStation Plus a little more now, hopefully at E3 we'll see some more features added to the service.

NastyLeftHook04344d ago

yeah, im glad they're doing this

gatormatt804344d ago

Yup. I'm a PS+ subscriber and IMO it's totally worth it.

BISHOP-BRASIL4344d ago

Man, I can't wait to PS+ to be available in my region. They said it would be available here down the road. It was almost an year ago, when PSN here finally received a PS Store. Unfortunately they never had a release date setted, I just hope they get it going this year.

TopDudeMan4344d ago (Edited 4344d ago )

Yeah 50% off is awesome. I may take them up on it if I can find some space on my PS3... :(

edit: tenton- thanks for enlightening me, that idea never occurred to me.

GraveLord4344d ago

@tenton
Sounds easy enough to buy a larger HDD but how will he transfer all his saves and stuff? The DLC and install data? all that will have to be done again and its a pain.

mushroomwig4344d ago

@gravelord

I'm not 100% sure but I think you can just back up your existing HHD using an external drive and then just restore it onto the new HHD.

TopDudeMan4344d ago

Mushroom, they let you transfer your stuff, but only if you have 2 ps3s. And you can't back up games.

homer4344d ago (Edited 4344d ago )

You can use an external drive. I did it, but it was a pain in the butt. I had some corrupted file, and I couldn't figure out which one it was so I ended up deleting all my games and installs. It then worked but I had a lot of redownloading to do. Still better than having to pick and choose, so I would suggest you go ahead and do it.

fei-hung4344d ago

If you have ps+ you can use the cloud storage facility for game saves dude.

Nimblest-Assassin4344d ago

agree with tentons

its a great investment... swapped my old 80gb with a 500

DigitalRaptor4344d ago (Edited 4344d ago )

@ GraveLord

yeah, it's a pain. Like fei-hung mentioned, you can use PS+ cloud storage to back up game saves and your media can easily be backed up to an external HDD, but game data and DLC etc needs to be re-downloaded/re-installed.

However, when you have your 500GB drive installed, that's it all done, and no need to worry about space for a long long time. That little inconvenience goes a long way and has been completely worth it since I upgraded almost 3 years ago.

Anon19744344d ago

Huh. I didn't know so many people were having issues. Mine was painless as it could be. Plug in usb drive. Couple of clicks to back up. Take out the one screw holding in the old drive and pop the new one in. Click "restore backup" and done. All my content, all my game saves, all my installed games. I thought it couldn't be easier.

I thought Infamous was excellent and but I had so many other games to play when the second one came out. Hard to pass it up now for $20. Same storey with LA Noire. I wanted to play it, passed it over for some other titles but now for $20 I think I'll give it a go.

cjflora4344d ago

The PS3 lets you do a full backup which backs up everything. All of it. Back it up, pop in the new HDD and restore. Easy as that.

Knushwood Butt4343d ago

I wish they would push it more in Japan: for the most part, all we get is free PS1 games that nobody has ever heard of, or discounts on ancient PS3 games that nobody plays any more.

Want a discount on Calling All Cars?? Well now is your time to sign up for the JPN PS+ !!!!!

To be fair, I mainly signed up for the cloud saves, but still..

showtimefolks4344d ago

i don't have ps-plus but damn man over the last few months games have been discounted so much and ps-plus get's extra $$$$ off so can't complain

about to sign up for ps-plus

the only game i don't have from the list is just cause 2 and i did get it at launch for full 60 and believe it or not was bored so maybe i will pass on this sale

they give you a island to play but in my opinion the content to fill the land isn't there

BISHOP-BRASIL4344d ago

I wouldn't say the contents of the island are the biggest problem... I mean, it's organized as a small insular country. There's those small vilages, 2 or 3 really populous city and tons of country side and natural environments.

The major problem is that, aside from the military bases, there's nothing happening. It don't feel believable, mainly because it's all dead on those long natural fields you need to cross... I mean, there's a ton of vegetation, but that's about it.

Add some animals to make those forest alive, better NPCs in towns, people doing something other than just walk around... Make this world breath a little. It would be a muhc better game.

On the bright side, there's tons of funny easter eggs to find in those islands. I was just parachuting my way into the forest when I found that huge hot air balloon that, to much my surprise, was fully functional! Than I just started to looking for more stuff on the web and there's like 2 dozens of really cool easter eggs there. I started exploring right away!

showtimefolks4344d ago

you know as much as people love JC2 and say you can do anything i rather have all those abilities yet have a smaller yet more believable world with more to do and a actual story

BISHOP-BRASIL4344d ago

I agree with you there. I love that big world, but as I said, it felt dead to me... If they can't make it believable in such a huge scale, they should just try it smaller, see how it goes.

15 PS3 Games That Would Absolutely Shine as PS5 Remakes

GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."

kenpachi9d ago

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming8d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long8d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming8d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple1018d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor8d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing698d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming8d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno8d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming8d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

L.A. Noire And Bully — Rockstar's Lost Gems That Deserve A Sequel As Much As GTA

Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."

Skuletor13d ago

How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.

Psychonaut8513d ago

I want a new Manhunt game. But that will never happen.

Demetrius12d ago

Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems

Demetrius12d ago

Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥

Skuletor12d ago

I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast22d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg22d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

CobraKai21d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow
