Codename STEAM (digitally), about 15 PSN games thanks to the flash sale, and...

a Mega Man amiibo.

You got the new Fossil Fighters.

If that means I win, then I apologize for the Uncles part of UnclesBoobs. *nods* Can we still be friends?

Thanks for posting about this - totally would have missed the sale otherwise.

Purchased the following games during the Sony flash sale:
* Breath of Fire IV (PSOne Classics)
* Dead Head Fred (PSP)
* Nuclear Strike (PSOne Classics)
* Soviet Strike (PSOne Classics)
* Mega Man X4 (PSOne Classics)
* Mega Man X5 (PSOne Classics)

I've wanted Breath of Fire IV for a while, but never had enough incentive to actually buy at regular price. This set of six games was cheaper during the flash sale than the normal price for that one game would be.

Playing the four Strike/Mega Man X games will be a blast, while Dead Head Fred was just a random pick to get over the $5 mark. Seems like a pretty solid haul considering...

I didn't pay for it, but I switched out a platinum colored Gamecube controller for a spice colored one aty friend's store. Everything is coming up Milhouse.

Just bought a buncha games at <$1 each from the Playstation Store flash sale. Thank goodness you can buy any game right from the web version of the store or I would have missed it.
Um, when's Nintendo gonna get this feature? Predictions? Sometime this decade, maybe?

wow thanks for pointing it out, I just barely got in before I had to start getting ready for work. Picked up about 25 games from this.

Wait. So they just put up a bunch of games really cheap for a very brief moment?

Considering the flack Nintendo is getting over people not being able to buy limited editions of games or Amiibo because of how fast they sell out when stores open them up for pre-orders, I'm sure there would be even more complaining if people missed out on a flash sale. I would say 10 years before something like this might occur as they will be mobile gaming only then so that would be a great thing to do on that platform.

The PSN Flash Sale was basically on for the weekend and ended at around noon today. I knew about it but forgot about it until this morning, after I left my house and my PS3. Hence my relief that I could buy all the games I wanted through a web version of the PS Store. The deals were pretty great.

If Nintendo had a "finished" version of the e-shop through their website that let you buy whatever you wanted and have it download to your system, that'd be just swell. You can do that on Playstation Store. Right now, you can just buy a select few titles through the Nintendo website e-shop but at least you can set them to download remotely, so that's nice.

Didn't they say they were going to do that before the Wii U launched, and then it wasn't there until like a month ago, and even then just kind of half there?

Triforce Hermit · « **Reply #1609 on:** March 23, 2015, 05:42:51 PM »

System Shock 2: Like Bioshock, except less casual and less artistic. Whats not to love?

Deus Ex: Never got into Human Revolution, but I figure to give this a try since its supposed to be better. So far I'm kinda impressed with it. Kinda like a stealthy Perfect Dark.

A friend got some discount bundle on Steam & gave me a trio of games he didn't want. Surgeon Simulator, Blaze Rush, & The Joylancer: Legendary Motor Knight. I have no idea why that last one lags when it graphically resembles a NES game like Shovel Knight.

Finally pulled the trigger on Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition. Although I like fighting games in general, Tekken has never really been a series I got into... but the absurdity it employs was too much to deny.

Walmart (Canada) has it for $15 which seems pretty reasonable if you can find a copy.

While on sale, I finally bought Valkyria Chronicles, the 2nd reason I got Steam. Really excited for it.

Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds was on sale on steam this weekend. The background/foreground jumping reminds me of Fatal Fury 2...

Oh... sale price? Sign me up too. $7 for an amazing game (with all DLC included) is ok by me.

I'm still really glad SEGA ported this game over to PCs. It's such a great series, anyone who enjoys tactical action should really give it a shot! Now if only part 3 would come out in the English...

Bought a few throwback games on eBay. NBA Courtside 2002 and NHL 2005, both for Gamecube.

Picked up my order of the physical version of Child of Light for the PlayStation Vita. It's a physical version for the Vita... in 2015... for a game that originally released almost a year ago digitally... Your guess is as good as mine, but I'm not complaining!

brianblivesay · « **Reply #1618 on:** March 31, 2015, 09:34:18 PM »

Recently bought Destiny on PS4, Shadows Of Mordor, and I may purchase the remastered Dark Souls 2; also bought an Atelier game on Vita, Rorona I think.

Found Donkey Kong 64 at a thrift store a few weeks back.

My latest gaming purchase are FIFA 2015, GTA San Andreas, Prince of Persia T2T. I am playing those games and they are nice and enjoyable.

Found a used copy of Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D + Prima Guide for $30 CAD.

Pretty happy with that, because I had recently been thinking of buying at full price to have the game during an upcoming flight. Not sure I care about the Prima guide... but am considering it a free bonus for now and might try to sell separately and recoup a few dollars later.

Legend of the Mystical Ninja from the eshop. Had the original back in high school but made the mistake of letting a friend borrow it before he & his family apparently moved back to Cambodia...

I'm a sucker for art books, so I threw down the dough for the collector's edition of Rodea: The Sky Soldier. As someone who has been following that title since it's announcement waaaaaaaay back, I have my expectations for the title set very low, but I do expect it to be one of those Naka games that is fun to master.

Plus I get the Wii version and the Wii U's "upscaled 3DS" version all in one go.

I bought Wii Sports Club last week. It's out of stock everywhere and my friend only had one copy at his store. I paid the full $40 since it's $65 on Amazon. I suspect this is out of print.

I'm torn on Rodea. Really want the Wii game, but the price ($75) is steep even if that is for a 2-in-1 deal.
Hope you post impressions about the game!
