well PS3 fans always waited for existing IP's from the PS2 to come over to the PS3...
thats why new IP's always get ignored

I'm seriously impressed. The sentiment on the internetz was that it wont sell. I was thinking 100k.

quite amazing, and it didn't got many advertising but the one it got was good.
and it's a niche title, but probably managed to steal some hearts

It found an unsatisfied niche and the sales have followed. Too bad im a whore and I'll probably rent this title like I generally do with all cinematic games.

Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

I'm having a hard time fighting the urge to drop 60 dollars to give it a go.

I think I'll get it in the 30-40 dollar price range.

This. I'll either rent it or wait till its $30ish
