Can get it for 32 on Amazon. Sony is overpricing it for Digital. Does that mean that the price won't be dropped on PS4 until 2015?? With Gamefly there is no "finish in time". You just rent it for as long as you want to and its $20 a month for 2 games out at a time. Even less for 1 game out at a time. You can even get the first month FREE!


Because gamefly is available in every country right? Or are you one of those, "Only the country I live in matters" kind of folk?



Thanks jlmurph!

Under the circumstances, given that it's a semi upgrade for a new system, it's perfectly acceptable. Not the worst cash grab I've seen anyway.

Lol really? So you're saying that a remaster of a less than 1 year old game is the same as a 10 year anniversary? Looks like I can't take you seriously either.

 

Oh yeah, and Halo 2 had the best multiplayer on console. Re-making that is easily giving me 15+ days of play.

Did you forget TLOU actually has multiplayer, and some people regard it as a very good multiplayer experience? But what does time have to do with it? If someone hasn't played TLOU then getting the PS4 version is a no-brainer, and it's such a brilliant game that it is worth buying just for the SP. It's like buying movies, they don't change at all but you still watch them more than once, if they are excellent movies. TLOU is the sort of game I will play again because I want to experience it again. But I'll only pay for it once.

The only games I ever re-bought were Mass Effect 2 and 3, in oder to get ME1 on disc for PS3, and Dragon Age Origins, because that was the only way I could Awakenings so many years down the track.

I think MS should bring Halo 4 over to Xb one. Though the likelihood of current Xb one owners not having already played Halo 4 is lower than the likelihood of current PS4 owners not having already played TLOU.  I myself would have got Tomb Raider Definitive edition for PS4 if it didn't happen to be on the PS+ instant game collection for PS3 the day I joined PS+.


While I never said I had a problem with the Idea of a TLOU remastering for people who haven't played it. He calls me a hypocrite for liking the idea of a 10 year anniversary remake of Halo 2. I like your movie analogy but I wouldn't spend full price on a remastered + prettier Man of Steel or Fast and Furious 6 if it was coming out this summer. Yes Halo 4 would be nice on Xbox One, but I wouldn't pay $60 for it even with all the DLC because the experience has already been available for so long.

Sorry if its not available in your country but it is available in the 2 biggest home console markets. Is renting not available where you're from?

I honestly don't know why anyone would buy it. Seems like a great rental if you've never played on PS3 though. Or if PSNow is out by then in US you could do that for like 5 bucks maybe since it's more of an experience heavy game. But even so, people won't think of that and buy it anyway.


This is because you constantly downplay everything Sony. Let me guess you thin the remastered Halo comi g out is the greatest idea ever...


Well yeah...its a 10 year anniversary for a game that wasn't in HD.

You sir are a hypocrite. I know to not take you seriously from here on thanks

And Last of Us has the best single player on console. ^^

Which supports my point of why you should just rent it ^^ Thanks.

Hey I was never arguing with you in the first place bud ^^. You're welcome.

If you have played this already and can't afford the 60$ price tag, but still want to experience the game on next gen, then a rent is fine!

But if you haven't played the PS3 version and want the complete version with all DLC as well as improved graphical fidelity, paying for the 60$ version is right for you.

Never understood why people cared so much as to what others do with their own money, but hey, welcome to the internet.

I was answering the OP in my post. He's skeptical about the price tag so therefore he should just rent it.

I think OP is in the mindset of thinking 60$ is too much IF, and only if, you've played the game already. As you can see, he says "play a game again".

So, as I said, if you've already played this game and don't have the money to pay full price, a rent is fine. However if it will be your first experience, then paying the 60$ isn't all that bad because then you'll also have it in your game collection, unlike a rent where you have to send the game back.

Plus did I also mention TLOU has an outstanding multiplayer component? Won't be able to play that for too long with a rent =P
