Trust NIS to get the job done. With the PSPgo officially launching tomorrow, NIS has revealed that its library of PSN games will be appearing on the PlayStation Network for your downloading pleasure. Not only that, but the games will have their prices slashed to ribbons, just as they bloody should be.
The games will range from $4.99 to $9.99, and here's what you can expect to see on the PlayStation Store tomorrow. Be warned it only lasts a week though:
Blade Dancer: Lineage of Light
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
Dragoneer’s Aria
Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This?
Mana Khemia: Student Alliance
Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?
Not bad, not bad at all. This is exactly the kind of thing the PSN should be doing to make the download-only PSPgo look more attractive. Who wants to buy a digital download for the same price as a boxed retail game? Only a frigging idiot. Good job NIS knows its customers aren't idiots, right?

Going to be all over Disgaea and Mana Khemia too! WOOT! !NIS++
Man, don't pick Prinny, such a disappointment... But if you don't own HIOPBWDIDTDT? then you should totally pick HIOPBWDIDTDT?, HIOPBWDIDTDT? is one of my favorite PSP games... EVER!
I played the demo and simply didn't get it. I guess I'll have to give it another go if you're recommending it that highly.
WHAT D:
Why was prinny a disappointment to you?
Major Kudos to NIS for being the first publisher (minus Valve I guess) to realize they will get more digital sales if the digital version is cheaper.
Also, HIOPBWDIDTDT? :P
Also, also, those are some good deals. At a max of $60 for everything, those are still cheaper than most retail games.
Back on topic, while not all the games listed are personal favorites, kudos to NIS for offering its downloadable customers some tangible incentive.
You need to realize that most commentors on Destructiod, and most other game oriented sites, are convinced that their opinion is the only opinion of any value, and are either unable or unwilling to consider the value of another perspective. Unfortunately, if you are looking for a reasoned, or intelligent discussion, you've come to the wrong place.
My Disgaea 3, on the other hand, it's still in the wrapper and I'm still waiting for the trophies not to mention the DLC pack that will make the game at the a 100€ price point.
PSPgo gets released tomorrow and my hight point of the day will be finishing L4D's new DLC.
Get it right Jim.
You don't have JOURNALISM.
I'm coming to realize this all too quickly. Here's the thing though. Jim's not a commenter here. He's the author of the article. He's not new to this, and he ought to damn well know better. Of course he's entitled to his opinion, but my own opinion is that he just gave us a one-sided, unreasonable, personally insulting, and immature display that reminds me an awful, awful lot of the same type of people that he so loves to hate. Hypocritical and just plain old lame.
Look at the bottom of the page, the very bottom, and this is what you'll see: "Destructoid is an independently-run publication forged by our love of video games and the gaming community's need of accountable enthusiast press living the dream since March 16, 2006"
Jim, you're a senior editor here, and yes, we need some accountability around here. If you're going to write in innumerable articles and comments that you're above this kind of idiocy, then you really ought to start acting like it. Consistently.
I added in the information. Thanks for setting me straight and feel free to go get fucked too if you like. <3
Why the hell can't I just download psp games on the psn and play them on my ps3?
I wish they'd release an app for that. I'm totally with in that I never play portables, despite owning a ds and psp.
This is a great deal. And totally proves that developers have authority over games prices and it's not Sony at work. Contrary to the older post flaming the new Persona release on psp, by Jim, which implied that it was Sony's fault that the digital copy was the same price as the physical.
Not calling you biased so much as quick to point fingers sometimes Jim, but it's cool. I'd prolly do the same given the chance.
Oh, well. I'm going to d/l the Prinny game now.
Nope, it's going on now. :( If you check the thread that Jim linked to you'll see the price range is actually 4.99-14.99.
Still tempting, but 9.99 would be a much easier sell
That's not even mostly between $5 and $10
