Bit expensive for POP, cheaper on XBLA, does it have trophies?

Is it the same pop as on xbla?

Also surprised at the cost--psn is normally quite a bit cheaper.
I wondser if Sony are starting to experiment with how sales fare when they charge a bit more?

I personally would guess that cheaper prices equate to more sales. I for one wouldn't hesitate to take a punt on a game for less than a fiver, but at 8 quid you are starting to get nearer the price of a second hand year old full price game.

Having said that, wipeout HD seemed like a bargain at 11.99 as it was effectively a full priced game, and I bet at that price it sold in huge numbers!

Long and short--no pop sale for me, despite being quite interested.

The games seem to have had a price rise across the board.

Bought the PoP game, no trophies - which has kinda tarnished it for me (I know! Tell me about it, i'm just a bad man!). It's okay, cannae really tell how HD quality visuals benefits it. Just looks like an okay PS2 game tbph.

I bought POP. It's nice, but I wish the £8 had done a better job of putting me off. I just needed something to do to fill the time I'd booked off for LBP.

PoP and Novastrike are both third-party published, Sony didn't set the price for those titles.

POP is nice, but Novastrike is absolute gash. It'll stay on the hdd for a trophy or two but thats it.

It looks like an Amiga game. If only it played like one!

.::: Wait, does this mean Puzzle Quest (PSP) finally has been updated to remove the companion bug? If so, this might become an instant purchase.

Too expensive. Therefore I will not be buying.

Puzzle Quest is ridiculously expensive on European PSN. It's $14.99 in the US. Plus, over there you get to choose between the PSP version without the expansion and the PS3 version with the expansion - each at the same price.

Which sort of explains why I haven't bought it yet. Choice is evil.

@Cyhwuhx

IGN reviewed the PSN PS3 version of the game, released October 9, gave it 9.3 and said:

"(...)you no longer need to worry about your companions not helping you in battle."

I assume this is the bug you are talking about. I don't know about the PSP version, though.

Actually, that makes my response sort of useless. Oh well.

Yeah, PoP doesn't have trophies....Sony has to do smth, I mean cmon, the game is on a frikin Playstation Store. Every game at PSS should have trophies period....

Also PoP isn't as badass as I thot it would be, and no trophies made me feel like I wasted my money.....should have just get mega man with addons instead *sigh*

These are a bit over priced. I'll wait for a nice juicy price cut.
