Does the PSN version of Crazy Taxi have the original music, like the recent iOS received?
Posted by LostBoyNZ on December 19th, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Comment # 4
Would be nice if the Genesis titles on the iOS were also available on Android.
Also, why no Valkyria Chronicles 2 deal?

Yep, no love for WP7. Good thing I have a PS3, I’m definitely getting some stuff there.

Please note that games will be on sale for ALL PlayStation Network members…layStation Network games are on sale for North America only.
Contradiction

Now thats what Im talking about! I have $5 on my PSN right now, will be buying Daytona. Then getting Hell Yeah and After Burner Climax when I get another PSN card.

@Pblive — you’re correct, sorry about the way that is phrased. The sale is North America only — I meant to explain the difference in PSN and PSN+ price; I will change the way I describe it there so it is clear.
To explain: The sales & information we post from here are to my knowledge usually only for North America. Whatever sales we for Worldwide PSN audiences are run from other territories, typically.

I’ll be sure to pick up some of the iOS games and maybe the XBLA ones too!

was on the fence for Jet Set Radio android since I own on dream cast and vita and was planning on getting it for PC.
but with this sale and my Moga controller coming in the mail soon, How could I resist?
Might pick up more games on sale later
in other news, how about forwarding the idea of updating chuchu rocket android to have multiplayer? going up against only bots is no fun

Streets of Rage 2 on Android please. Include Xbox controller support and I will play until my fingers fall off.

Hello Guys. I’m trying to buy Virtua Fighter 5 Final Shodown – XBLA. But the price there still 1200 MSP. When, exactly, will this holiday discount be avaliable?
Once again, thanks for this great holiday gift for all Sega fans.

Why isn’t Super Monkey Ball 2: Sakura Edition on sale for Android too? It was supposedly in the last sale but you guys never actually changed the price for it.

Got an iPhone for work and I didn’t want to buy anything for it but you convinced me, just added my credit card and went hog wild on Sega purchases, even jet set radio considering I own it on PC and XBLA already.
Thanks SEGA!

When can we expect to see some of these great Sega games on the Wii U eShop (I have PS3 and X360 as well).

Just to give a heads up for XBLA users, Sonic Adventure 2 is 1/2 off only today

Wow, thanks for putting SMB2 on sale. I love you guys! While I’m here, how about Shenmue 3? It wouldn’t even have to be original – just retool the Yakuza engine.

Please fix the price for Virtua Fighter 5 FS for the italian marketplace, is still 1200 instead of 600!!!

Confirmed from #12 – VF5 Final Showdown still shows as 1200 MSP on XBL. OMG. BBQ. Would love to pick this up at 600MSP.

Comment # 26
Your PSN sale info is incorrect – at least some of them, for example, you have the SEGA Geneisis Collection listed for only $5 but on PSN it’s coming up as $9.99. What gives?
Posted by xAn on December 21st, 2012 at 10:50 pm
Comment # 27
Has anyone else had any issues with the sale on PSN? Sega Genesis Collection on the PSP is still listed at the full price of $9.99 rather than any sale price whatsoever.. It’s not a bad deal even at $9.99 but it’s supposed to be on sale, right?
Posted by JordanRinehart on December 22nd, 2012 at 2:56 am
Comment # 28
Yes I notice the Sega Genesis Collection (PSP) is at the wrong price too! Hoping they fix the price to $4.99 because that’s a good one to have to the collection. Can someone notify Sega or Sony please!!!!!

Comment # 29
Too bad I missed the Sega Rally Online Arcade sale on XBLA, now I can even buy it, since it’s been delisted… But hey, at least I got all the discounted Sega games of the season. Except for Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown, because, as Tina pointed out above, it’s still 1200 points… Weird.

I can’t find the Sega Holiday Bundle listed on the PSN store… Help?
Posted by Richard on December 22nd, 2012 at 10:54 am
Comment # 31
Yeah, Sega Genesis Collection doesn’t seem to be on sale on PSN. I also can’t find the Sonic Rivals bundle.

Comment # 32
Thanks for the sale, SEGA and happy holidays but a quick notice.
I see on the list that the Mega Drive/Genesis Collecton is supposed to be on sale in the US PSN store. If you look on the store, it’s still going for $9.99?
Please fix this, SEGA. I already have a physical copy on PSP, and just want a digital on for the Vita. Thanks again

Not seeing the sale price for VF5:FS on XBLA… What’s going on?
Posted by X4arms on December 22nd, 2012 at 11:32 am
Comment # 34
360 VF5FS IS STILL 1200 POINTS SEGA/MICROSOFT!!! Please fix this asap or please make it clear that it is or is not going to be on sale. Not sure if I should just pay 1200 now or wait a bit longer for the 600.
Posted by spdbeaver on December 22nd, 2012 at 3:01 pm
Comment # 35
Hello, I’d like to point out that one of the prices is incorrect. The list on this blog says that the SEGA Genesis Collection for the PSP is available for $5.00, but on PSN the title is available for $9.99 (the original price was $15.99 and not $9.99 if I remember correctly.)
It would be great if you could check the price again on MediaGo (which is the software I use to buy PSP titles.) Looking forward to your response!
Posted by Eric on December 22nd, 2012 at 3:45 pm
Comment # 36
Great sale, I already own a number of these titles, and would like to pick up Mega Drive Collection. As others have posted, the price is still listed at 9.99, I assume this is a mistake. Sony PSN or sega, please address this.
Thanks

I would love it if in the next two SVCs they were Sega Master System Collections. Particularly if one were RPG related with Phantasy Star, Golden Axe Warrior and Y’s. And the other was more adventure related: Wonder Boy III – The Dragon’s Trap was a terrible omission from the Wonder Boy SVC and would make a fine addition here. As well as Alex Kidd in High Tech World, Psycho Fox and Astro Warrior.

Are all XBLA games on sale? Because only a few are listed.

Why hasn’t anyone looked into the issue of the SEGA Genesis Collection price not being on sale for PSP?

I am going to second commenter #17′s concerns. I want to buy the Sega Genesis Collection but it’s showing up as $9.99.
Posted by Nohbdy on December 26th, 2012 at 9:46 pm
Comment # 42
I really hope you look into the lack of the Rivals bundle and the price of the Sega Genesis collection being wrong; I’ve been meaning to pick them up, and I really want to take advantage of the sales.

Please, SEGA, cut the price for Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown! And BTW, happy new year!

As mentioned several times above, the Genesis Collection for PSP is still listed at the wrong price, and the Sonic Rivals bundle is nowhere to be found on PSN. Please guys, fix this soon.

WOW what a huge difference in the number of games available on Google Play vs iOS. It would be great to see that change. There are far more Android users than i-devices.

Please please please make a Sonic Spinball version for Google Play! That is an awesome game. I had it for my Sega Genesis, it was my favorite game. Having epilepsy, finding games I can play without causing brain problems, is challenging. Sonic Spinball didn’t upset my epilepsy at all.

Hey people waiting for the correction on the genesis collection PSP pricing, I finally got an answer from Sega Customer Service.
Basically, they said blame SCEAs PSN team, and they apologized for the name error.
Read the details here and let them know how you feel:

Please bring the Thunderforce games back on a HD collection. I bought a sega genesis again just to play them. I would like all 6 games to be on one disc on the PS3. Or atleast get them all to be available on the US PSN store.
