Just in case there's anyone that doesn't know, San Andreas in the XBLA store and has been for a couple of years now.

ollie1 · 11-12-2012 06:23PM

Is San Andreas not on the US store yet? I created a US account and can not see it anywhere.

Meaning thats the first PS2 Classic game to go above the $9.99 price. TBH its a bit too expensive for a game so old. Guarantee this will be €15. Stupid price. €10 is already overpriced.

If it's 15 quid there's no way in hell I'm buying it.

I hoped it was a tenner. Im mad to buy resi 4 hd but 20 quid is too much for aps2 game even if it is a hd upgrade.

Im not saying it will be, but all PS2 Classics are $10/€10. This is the first thats gone above that amount. I wont be buying it at that price. It can be bought on PC/Mac for €5 or less through steam when they have their sales. And lets be honest. It doesnt need a beast of a computer to run.

I couldn't wait any longer and borrowed copies of Vice City and SA a few weeks ago. PC (self build 2008) is more than capable of playing both with everything maxed out. Point and click on a PC, different experience to PS3 and it looks much better.

It's going to be €14.99 http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/12/11/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas-ps2-classic-coming-to-ps-store-tomorrow/

That's a disgrace to be honest with you. They know this was one of the most anticipated PS2 Classics so they've decided to hike the price.

11-12-2012 11:23PM

The EU store's a complete joke, they still haven't released CS:GO (they aren't going to really) and every game that's released on both eu/us stores is more expensive in Europe because they've never heard of exchange rates. Despite Sony's beliefs 15 dollars does not equal 15 euro.

Its only 11.50 according to current exchange rates so they are trying to get an extra 3.50 euro from us compared to the US Store.

Remember that US folks have to pay their state sales tax on top of the $15.

Its ridiculous, there is no reason to hike the prices up 50% for an 8 year old game. Its cheaper to buy GTA IV from Zavvi than it is to buy a PS2 game. What a JOKE!

Feck that anyway, piratebay. Here I come!

It's showing up for me. I'm just deciding whether or not I want to pay €15 for it since I own the game already but can't play it on my PS3

mrDerek · 12-12-2012 02:03PM

iv spent 15e on worse things b4

Beefy78 · 12-12-2012 02:07PM

I'll be buying it. I've got it on PS2 and I think I may even have it on PC but I'll definitely get €15 worth of value out of buying it on PS3.

mrDerek · 12-12-2012 02:08PM

nevermind got it

I also have it on PS2. I feel im getting conned having to pay for it again.

Meh. I've got films that I've bought on Blu-Ray, DVD and VHS. It's no different.

If you've got it on PS2 and don't want to pay €15 for it again then just play it on your PS2.

Penn · 12-12-2012 03:11PM

Have it on 360 (must get back to playing it actually). It's insane how poor the game looks now. Still fun, but looks like sh*t

I recently played through it on PC and was surprised at how well it has aged. Apart from the cutscenes I think it looks very good, especially when you compare it to Vice City.

At least with VHS->DVD->Blu Ray the quality of the product is getting better.

It's €5 lads, it won't break the bank. If the price is that big of a deal, dig out your PS2 instead.

Its not that. Its the principle of it that annoys me.

Well I downloaded it anyway. Obviously I wasn't expecting any improvement in graphics, but I honestly think it looks worse than it did on the PS2. Even tried it on an old TV and the aliasing is desperate.

Beefy78 · 12-12-2012 06:44PM

Yeah it's not aged well. I tried to play it on my launch PS3 a couple of years ago and couldn't deal with the graphics. I'll give it another go though.

Real shame because if any game deserved a polish-up then it was this one.

Well, I think my 360 version is suffering from bad blurring, popup and screentearing, but even then, it's insane how huge the city used to feel when I played it first and how empty and clunky it feels revisiting it. People give out about Liberty City in GTAIV, but you'd think there was a lot more than 4 years between their releases, new hardware or not.
