Vita games on PSN will be cheaper than retail ( up to 40% less? )

love how you get a discount for downloaded games yet people just complain about memory card prices and call it a scam... You can just buy 1 memory card and swap your games over between PC or PS3 whenever you need too. It seems people are trying to make excuses to say that its not reasonable to do this.

How much are those memory cards again?meetroid8

Its good to see they learned their lessons from the failed full retail not a test psp go where they kept digial versions as expensive as the retail.

Why not? There isn't nearly as much overhead for digital distribution.

That 40% figure is old, I hope it's true though.

I wonder, how many games would it take to offset the memory card required to download these games?

5 games?

They gotta make those memory cards worth it.

Damage control for Vita software sales flopping? :lol:

Nobody buys retail games online compared to retail.

[QUOTE="helwa1988"]40% off of digital downloads. but they charge for memory which you will need to put all those digital downloads on. who do you think you are fooling sony? i see what you did there.ShadowMoses900

Lol yep. this guy get'ts it. Still it's not so bad. I do prefer to have an acutal physcial copy though.

Could be good news. On handhelds and on the PC I always prefer digital games. On the consoles I go for the physical cover.

...this guy knows wats up...

i cant wait to have to buy a 100$ memory stick to store my games and music.

thats great...but they can still take the 32 gig memory card and shove it up there ass, my music alone is 32 gigs who are they fooling -_-

I intend to go digital with or without a discount. Just seems more fitting for a portable game system, I think.

A discount would be nice, though I doubt they'll do more than the 10% shown by Best Buy - of course, I'd love to be wrong.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="meetroid8"] And what is the average size of a Vita retail download? I'm just wondering if the memory card price might balance out the PSN price reduction.zarshack

[QUOTE="kairikh"][QUOTE="zarshack"]Why would you put 32gb of music on a handheld device? do you have 32gb of music on your phone or an iPad? Hell even the ipod touch a device made for music only goes upto 64gb memory, but we are talking about a machine which functions primarily as a gaming device.

Right... I'll believe that when I see it. :roll:

They are offering discounts on DD games day one. Even with Steam, I hardly see this. I buy from XBLA, PSN, Wiiware, WiiVC, Steam, GOG, and others. Day one discounts is something we should have seen long ago.

The companies save on case, instructions, disc, middlemen retailers, require memory space from the users, and in some cases impose online DRM on the DD copies. It's about time we see a day one discount for DD games. Publishers know they can charge the same damn amount but give us less, and it's annoying.

Sony is offering an incentive to users going for DD with day one DD discounts, something the industry should have adopted long ago.

We will also over time see discounts for Vita DD games as we do on XBL, Steam, PSN, GOG...that's natural.

-------------

He's (and others) are calling you a fakeboy because you are angry about DD game discounts...when you should either :

1.) Not care because despite the small discount in day one DD, the tradeoff isn't your thing. You will just buy the games retail and be happy.

2.) Not care simply because you may not be buying a Vita.

3.) Saying outlandish highly improbable for no good reason. We see this all the time in SW, fakeboys spin good things into the worse news ever. That doesn't mean you are a fakeboy, but that you are posting like one from his perspective.

4.) Build up your GS account. Your account is brand new, so that is always suspect, but it's growing pains for all of us

5.) Post your pics of your systems/get a cool sig like I have that shows your trophies/gamerscore, etc. You have no sig or way of identifying you own the PS3 you are selling because of your anger over day one DD discounts when you said in this thread "Well I am selling my PS3, Way to **** over retail fans Sony you arogant @$$wipes" because of day one discounted DD games.

So, there you go fellow gamer. BTW, you just joined today, so welcome to Gamespot.com.

We should be seeing some sizable discounts with DD games.

So vita games were 40% cheaper on PSN in Japan, 10% cheaper in the US, anyone have any idea how much it'll be in Europe ?

I'm guessing 0%

A bit shocking response to a good thing (DD day one discounts), especially considering the PS3 has nothing to do with this Vita news.

I do agree, the complaint was extreme. :P

I'm actually happy about this and I have faith in Sony. They have had their fair share of nice discounted ps3 games. How much was Borderlands this last summer on PSN? I know they aren't as good as steam and my favorite PSP game still isn't on PSN but still they have shown many improvements.
