Those prices are likely for renting the games for a specific time period. Uncharted 3 and Far Cry 3 each have prices which are blue and have a logo beside them, and it looks like it says "from" above the price. The Last of Us has a white price, which is how the store looks today.
I've already lost my BF4 single player save several times, although I think that is an issue with DICE's programming as it has occurred for many others on the other consoles.
It's all a matter of stock. I still haven't seen a PS4 on store shelves, and the store clerks that I've talked to all say that there have been a tremendous amount of people inquiring about them. I've seen stacks upon stacks of Xbox Ones, however. My local Best Buy, which is in a relatively small market area compared to many other places in the US, had over 100 PS4s in stock a few weeks ago, and they all sold out on the day they received stock. I'm glad I was able to get mine on launch day.
Depends on the game. I wish there were more for games like Battlefield, which is multiplayer focused, but for something like Tomb Raider, I don't like online trophies, unless they are not very time consuming.
It doesn't support Android 3 right now, so I am unable to get it. I hope they update it to be able to support my phone, even though it is considered by many to be ancient at 2 years old.
Maybe Yoshida is hinting that since we expect several big game announcements, we won't be surprised with no big game announcements. It sure would fit in with his sly humor.
Does anyone know if it is possible to upload footage only to a specific social group on Facebook rather than to your entire Facebook friend list? Personally, this is the only way I would upload footage until YouTube support is added.
Anyone know of a good way to stop my ears from bleeding? Anyway, it still doesn't look very impressive, so I will be sticking with BF4. I'll probably only get the PS4 version, but it will also share the multiplayer stats between PS3 and PS4.
@Sammy I think that is how it works. I normally play Battlefield and just briefly played COD BO Declassified and MW3 but the matchmaking seems to be more like COD with a host and no dedicated servers. I didn't really look at the screen between matches as I was typing my impressions here, but it seemed to be a single lobby because some of the same players were on both matches.
Zenith was great too! Both maps focus a lot on vertical gameplay, which adds a lot more strategy. There seems to be a lot of upgrades that you can get from the cash you earn. The beta has sold me on a preorder.
First impressions are extremely positive. I played the free for all on Inlet and am about to start a match on Zenith. The multiplayer graphics still look great; probably even better than Killzone 2. The game handles well, and the map that I played was good.
I'm also playing through the 1st Uncharted for the 1st time after having played every other one. (Craving Naughty Dog before next Friday!) Also playing Soul Sacrifice.
Note that this is the manager of the Middle East, Africa, India, and Turkey. Those are regions where even the PS2 is still selling well, so it likely mainly applies to those regions. The PS3 will likely have longer legs in those regions, therefore they will want to keep support. I think that nearly all of Sony's support will be going forward with the PS4 within a few years.
PS3 alone, my backlog is around 25 disc games, with many more games from Playstation Plus. I'm also building quite a large backlog for the Vita and 3DS. I still have many PS2, PSP, and DS games that I likely will never get through. Overall, this would be well over 100 games in my backlog.
I hope they will get a CEO who is able to reverse some of the hate that many gamers have for EA. EA has some of the greatest franchises in gaming, and it is a shame to see them limited by poor leadership.
Journey certainly deserves the nominations that it has been given. I had a good laugh when I saw that Black Ops II was nominated under game innovation.
Aftermath arrives in December with 2 weeks early access for premium members and the 5th expansion, End Game, arrives in March of next year. The third expansion, Armored Kill, arrives in September.
I would love for this to be localised in North America. I've been looking for an easy way to record video on the Vita and PS3. That amount of yen would probably translate to about a $200 price tag in the states.
As long as the PS3 is still supported for 10 years like Sony said, I will be fine. I will probably wait a year or so after the PS4 comes out before I get it. I really just hope that the rumors about the used games are false.
I hope this issue gets fixed. I never really play the minis on my PS3 because when I sit down to play my PS3, I prefer to play bigger games and I feel like the minis are best suited to be played on a handheld.

Re: Borderlands 2 Is the Purple Loot Your PS Vita Deserves
I don't think it has all of the DLC, as I didn't see Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep or Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt listed.

I've been playing Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed 4, Killzone Shadowfall, and Resogun

Re: Poll: How Many PS3 Games Do You Hope to Finish Before Fully Focusing on PS4?
My disc backlog on PS3 is 50+ games, not including games from Playstation Plus. I'll likely never get through it, but I am still getting PS4 day 1.

@get2sammyb According to a PS Blog comment, that is what they are planning to do.
Re: PlayStation 4 Takes Control of Game Informer Magazine
I thought for sure that it was based off of the bad ending because I didn't see how it would be possible with the good ending.
Re: North American PlayStation Plus Awakens with Sleeping Dogs
Nice lineup, I wonder if they will completely refresh the IGC on E3.

Re: Yes, Your Soul Sacrifice Demo Saves Will Be Compatible with the Full Game
Four hour demo?! That is as long as many games nowadays.
Re: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Offers an '80s VHS Vision of the Future'
I doubt it would have any type of Xbox exclusivity considering that the PS3 version of Far Cry 3 had exclusive content.
Re: Talking Point: Why inFAMOUS: Second Son Shouldn't Be a PS4 Launch Game
Considering that I am somewhat interested in nearly every announced PS4 game, I wouldn't mind if they were staggered a bit.

Re: Guess Which Game Got the Most BAFTA Nominations
Journey certainly deserves the nominations that it has been given. I had a good laugh when I saw that Black Ops II was nominated under game innovation.

Final Fantasy X is being remade for PS3 and Vita.

Aftermath arrives in December with 2 weeks early access for premium members and the 5th expansion, End Game, arrives in March of next year. The third expansion, Armored Kill, arrives in September.
Re: Battlefield 4 Beta Confirmed for Autumn 2013
I would rather have Bad Company 3 next year but more Battlefield is never a bad thing.
Re: Escape Plan's Asylum DLC Costs Just Two Cents
The price got changed to $.25 instead, which is still a good deal.
Re: Sony Patent Details Advert Delivery Mechanism for Games
Maybe this has something to do with the cloud gaming thing?
Re: Feature: Why We're Excited About PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Someone on the PS Blog asked about a Vita version and Omar responded saying, "a Vita version would be pretty cool!" E3 announcement maybe?
Re: GameStop Knocks $50 Off PS3's Price
I think you also get Batman Arkham City for free in stores.
Re: Sony Announces Nasne for Japan
I would love for this to be localised in North America. I've been looking for an easy way to record video on the Vita and PS3. That amount of yen would probably translate to about a $200 price tag in the states.
Re: Sony Tempts Japanese Gamers With Free 4GB Vita Memory Card
I'm expecting a big E3 showing from Sony that could announce some system selling games.

Re: Call of Duty Gunning for PlayStation Vita This Year
As much as I don't like COD, if it would bring more Vita sales, I would welcome it. What would really be good would be a Battlefield game.
Re: Sony Reveals American Prices For Memory Cards and More
I find it odd that 2 8gb cards are cheaper than 1 16gb card.
Re: PlayStation Vita Launch Details for North America
Sony Online Entertainment is not first party?
Re: PlayStation Vita Release Date Announced
I'm satisfied with that date, it will give me time to play more of the big titles on PS3 releasing over the next few months.
