Waves, PC – £3.49
One of my favourite games of last year. It has more particle effects than all the other games put together, and it’s just a hell of a lot of fun. Not to be missed at this price.

Unconfirmed: Uncharted: Golden Abyss, PS Vita – 79p
Unconfirmed: Uncharted: Golden Abyss, PS Vita – 79p
Here’s an email I just got:
Just a heads up on the new PS Vita store on the PS3 Store if you buy the new Uncharted DLC Treasure Map it actually downloads the full game (3.4GB), it 79p so thats the cheapest Vita game at launch, better hurry before Sony plugs this.
Not sure if he means on the Vita section of the PS3 version of the Playstation store, or the one on the Vita itself. Will try to confirm.
Why not give it a try?
Cheers General Frags for the tip off.
Let me know in the comments if you can get this to work. -

PS Vita launch lineup 17% more expensive from PSN than retail
Despite claims from Sony that “there will be a discount on the downloadable PS Vita titles from PSN”, it seems that comparing the recently revealed PSN prices for PS Vita games for UK customers are actually on average 17% more expensive than the retail equivalent prices.
Everybody’s Golf – £29.99 on PSN, £27.95 at The Hut.

Ridge Racer – £16.99 on PSN, £14.95 at Zavvi.
Dungeon Hunter: Alliance – £29.99 on PSN, £29.86 at Shopto.
F1 2011 – £44.99 on PSN, £29.86 at Shopto.This is only comparing prices at release, clearly the retail versions prices will drop over time in conjunction with market forces, whereas the PSN prices will only drop when Sony and/or the publishers decide it is time for them to drop.
What do you reckon to that? It seems crazy to me that they are making the download versions (which are better for the environment, encourage people to buy more of Sony’s expensive needlessly proprietary memory cards, and can’t be traded in) more expensive than the version that come in a plastic box, particularly after their claims that PSN versions would be cheaper.
It seems to me that Sony are more interested in keeping retailers happy than letting their customers access games in the most convenient way without compromising on value.
Will this impact your plans regarding getting a PS Vita?
