Bionic Commando: Rearmed on PSN is now half price photo

Starting today and continuing on until May 21, the PlayStation Network version of Bionic Commando: Rearmed is going to cost only $4.99. At that price, you'd have to be borderline crazy not to get it. In case you hadn't heard, the game is good. Really, really good.

What's the catch? The discount is being used as a promotion of sorts for the console-bound Bionic Commando, which is dropping on May 22. I guess I've been out of it lately, because I had no idea it was being released so soon.

As for why Rearmed on Xbox LIVE Arcade isn't on sale, I haven't got an answer for you. Perhaps Amazon will one day make up for it?

This is in Europe too, right? Its been one of those games where I keep telling myself i'll buy it, but never get around to.

If this deal is true to England, i'm having it the second I see it.

@Discarded Couch Sandwich:

I bought it for 5€ from the Austrian PSN-store today, so I think the answer to your question is: 'Yes!'(I think it's 4 GBP in England.)

They're not dropping the price on XBLA because they're not competing with inFAMOUS on Xbox.

The official Capcom blog notes that the XBLA version should go on sale for 400 MS points on May 25.

Curses, why can't it be cheap on XBLA? We get some crappy brain knowledge game as our "deal of the week."
More like deal of the WEAK m i rite.

No trophies, my inner trophy collector just said no to this offer then.

I had the same problem with mm9, nothing but nostagia kept me from forgetting it.

Got it! Didn't take much time to make that choice, just like the time I brought Penny Arcade episode 1 when I discovered it was less than a fiver the other day, rather than the usual £7.99. (or the ridiculous 1600 MS points it's still at)

Oh, by the way, Penny Arcade episode 1 is less than a fiver for those who want to pick it up!

You forgot to mention that rag doll kung fu also got a 9.99 usd discount, effectively making it free.

I'll wait until the 360 version drops in 2 weeks. My PS3 is still busy with God of War 2.

It's got no trophies? :( I was going to pick this up at this price if it did but as it is I've finished the PC one... suppose you've gotta decide if the old style costume for the new game is worth it to you :)

Bought it, although I have it on 360 I have to be connected to XBL to play it since I bought it(and like 2 other games) on my friend's 360. And yes, I've tried to license transfer like 6+ times.

I'll pick this up in a heartbeat if it drops to 400 ms points on XBLA. Something about this game just didn't seem worth $10 to me.

I may hafta grab this. It'll be my first PSN game. Not a bad choice, from what I hear.

Bought this fine game the day it came out.
If you don't already own this, what's your excuse?!
The game is amazing.

Oh shit! I'm getting this ASAP! I've always wanted it on PSN over XBLA due to the better D-pad but held off because of tight wallet syndrome.

Also, just like Emrah said, RagDoll Kung Fu is free right now!

Five bucks for a game that is easily worth twenty? NO EXCUSE.

On a side note, my jaw hit the floor when I saw that scene. It was just so hilariously over the top.

I heard it was going to be £4.99 in UK... then I was pleasently surprised it was £3.99... about the same price it would have cost on the Commodore 64, had they ported it.

Ah, nostalgia.

If you guys don't have it, buy it. It was worth $10, and it is so worth $5.

pleasure in contemplating. Just from amiable reluctance to grieve me, buy meloxicam online
