I think a timed discount for PS+ subscribers (like Sony did for FF7) would go a long way toward solving the issue of overpricing. They could probably even get away with charging $14.99 for ALL PS2 games this way...just make them half-price for PS+ for a week after release. Nintendo did something similar when it started releasing downloadable Wii games for Wii U.
I really like the art styles of both Death's Gambit and Rain World. Small Radios Big Televisions looks interesting, but I still don't understand exactly what it is.
Thank you for posting this! I was already able to score most of what I wanted this year from Best Buy's early access deals for Elite members earlier this week. Picked up Bloodborne, COD Ghosts, Dark Souls II, Helldivers, Star Wars Battlefront, and 3 months of PS+ for just over $100 total. Also got quite a few preowned PS3 and PS4 games from Best Buy's B2G1 sale.
Happy to see Freedom Wars on the list, since I very reluctantly removed it from my Best Buy shopping cart yesterday before ordering a few other things. I wasn't sure I'd see the game for less than $10 again in the near future, but free is a lot better!
Have Demon's Souls or the Dark Souls games ever been on PS+ before? I'm planning to pick them up during Best Buy's B2G1 on used games for Black Friday, so it would be nice to get one of them for free instead.
I'd settle for Sony just patching Golden Abyss to be playable on the PlayStation TV. There's no reason why the touch sections couldn't be replicated with the DualShock 4's touchpad.
@Paranoimia Question: that old IGN article says that one of the advantages of that method for adding trophy support is that games wouldn't have to be re-certified. Since adding trophies this way is now a reality (as proven by the three newly-released Star Wars PS2 games), why are we seeing the games mentioned here getting re-certified? Was the IGN article just wrong about that?
It would be great if they added PS4 and trophy support to PS2 Classics already purchased on PS3. I already have Twisted Metal: Black purchased but unplayed on my PS3, so nice to see that one announced already! A few others I have and would love to get trophies in are Red Faction I & II, the GTA "Stories" games, and Red Dead Revolver. Also, it would be really cool if these trophies displayed as being for "PS2" rather than "PS4" on the XMB!
@B3ND3R The flying controls were indeed horrible in the PC beta, which is a big reason I wanted Battlefront on PS4 instead. Still very much looking forward to playing it, too, despite all the complaining around the Internet.
@Tasuki I went into the beta (on PC) with no intention of buying the game, but I came out of it really wanting to own it. The sheer production values made it a more immersive experience for me than the vast majority of games are. It's hard to say at this point exactly how deep the game really is, but I liked what I played (and saw on Twitch earlier this week) enough to know that I'll definitely get my money's worth and more.
I just bought a PS4 on Wednesday, but won't be opening it until Dec. 1. So until then, I guess I'll have to live vicariously through these What Are You Playing posts. How many people think they'll be playing Star Wars Battlefront come next weekend?

Imgur is a good website for uploading images as well, especially if you don't want to bother with Twitter.
