Gamers are understandably upset after three weeks of PlayStation Network downtime, developers are losing out on potential sales, and the resale value of PS3 games is reportedly taking a hit.
According to VideoGamePriceCharts.com, which tracks the prices of videogames sold through online shops like Amazon and eBay, the average resale price of 10 select PS3 games has dropped 7.4% since the beginning of the PSN outage on April 20. Those same 10 games (dictated by a list of the most popular games posted by Major Nelson), by contrast, have seen their resale value go up 0.7% during that same span of time. The resale value of Call of Duty: Black Ops, the most popular multiplayer game on Xbox Live, has increased 2% for 360 copies compared with an 8.9% drop for PS3.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Awesome! I'm gonna pick some games up then....Like stocks, buy low.
You shouldn't be selling your SonyPlayStation®3 games anyway.
And yet, according to vgchartz the PS3 system is still outselling both of the others by 20k a week despite the PSN outage. I guess the world doesn't live and die on online gaming alone.
Good.
sales data say otherwise...troll harder.
