So, that’s less than €10 for the entire season. That’s a really compelling price! Thank you for that offer, I’m finally going to see what everyone has been raving about!

Was well worth the 20pounds it cost in the beginning.

Was thinking of getting the disced version so I don’t have to download and install, but this is a good deal. Will definitely check out the first eps and probably get the others too. Don’t like the TV series but the Heavy rain influences get me interested.

Brilliant sale guys, €10 for the entire season is amazing. I was wondering though if you will have any other sales up for those of us that already own them?
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:26 pm by Chris Howe
We also have the expedition sale and the resident evil sale running at the moment, maybe there is something in there for you??

Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:31 pm by yorkypud1976
got this already and for that price its a absolute steal guys, one of best games iv ever played, heres hoping for a second season of episodes soon.

Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:32 pm by Jacko_the_lad
I urge anyone who hasn’t played this to get it now. It’s a wonderful game and at that price you have no excuse not to get it.

Is there any reason to confuse gamers by calling a thing season pass, when one time its just DLC and you still need the game, and at other times it is standalone?
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:46 pm by Chris Howe
This is what the publisher calls it so we have to follow that. In this case the Season Pass is the collection of episodes
12
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:45 pm by SuperJag86
Ok so for Plus members the season pass will be about £9 yeah?
With 50% per episode its cheaper to get all 4 remaining episodes which will be down from £4 to £2 giving a total of £8.
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:51 pm by Chris Howe
Well yes that is true but there is a premium theme within the Season Pass as well
13
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:51 pm by orstus
Hi Chris, not related question but please respond. Is there any chance of release “Z” on PSN Store? It’s a classic and briliant PSOne game. Not so long ago it was re-released on iOS but controls are weird. I prefer buttons you know
.
I know you probably don’t want to make promises but… please tell me something.
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:59 pm by Chris Howe
I just checked in with Jawad to see if he knew something I didn’t but alas neither of us believe this will be coming anytime soon

Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:52 pm by DiscworldDeath
I’ve purchased this for the PC on Steam. This is a good deal, you guys are going to have fun! ^_^
(BTW, Chris, before I purchase it for the spring break for myself, could you tell me if Disgaea 3 for the Vita will go on sale/join PS+ in the next 4 weeks? :3)
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:06 pm by Chris Howe
no Disgaea 3 will not be in Plus in the next 4 weeks
15
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:56 pm by law952
this is great I’ve got PS+ for 90 days so I’ll wait until the 2nd April to activate the code and get most of + and then get The Walking Dead at this great price.
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:08 pm by Chris Howe
Great decision we’ve got some good games coming up in Plus over the next couple of months, look out for a post about April on Friday
16
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:57 pm by crusher915
is “The Nation’s Favorite” a permanent section? also was there a post about it that I missed?
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:09 pm by Chris Howe
No it is not a permenant section
17
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 1:58 pm by Golwar
Are you sure about 10€? While SCEA usually simply goes 50-75% off, SCEE bases it’s additional 10-25% for Plus usually on the reduced priced, not the full price. Thus I’d expect to see a 11.25€ price tag for the full season, not 10€.
With episode 1 being free, it would then be cheaper to get the 4 remaining episodes for the half price. It really wouldn’t be the first example where it makes more sense to purchase the content of a bundle separately. Happens frequently enough with DLC bundles.
Anyway, waited long enough to see that sale so I won’t let it pass. I ignored all Steam sales for TWD as I consider it to be the perfect couch game and finally …
P.S.: Any news on a Sound Shapes sale?
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:10 pm by Chris Howe
Afraid no news at the moment, might be working on a little something else for Sound Shapes

Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:00 pm by Voodoo341
Can you confirm that no Walking Dead episode will be added to the PS+ IGC for at least one year? Without it I wouldn’t touch this. Also labelling this as a season pass is totally confusing. You need to feed that back to Telltale.
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:12 pm by Chris Howe
A year is far too long to say something like that, who knows what will happen by March 2014
19
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:09 pm by hayzink
Thanks so much for this one Chris it’s been a long time but finally here.
I’ll pay more for the pass to get the theme.
Next up disgaea discount please
Thanks again

Already completed this on “the other” console that we don’t talk about. I will be delighted to play through this gem again though, consider it sold!

Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:19 pm by JulioBH
I have Ep 1 & 2 for Plus US. If I buy Ep. 3, 4 e 5 will work on US version?
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:20 pm by Chris Howe
Yes they should do
22
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:20 pm by Azuardo
Great deals on this one, I’ll definitely be picking these up on Wednesday!
What are the chances of discounts on Okami HD and Skullgirls in the future?
Keep up the amazing work on PS Plus. The IGC has been immense these past couple of months. I really hope you can keep it up!
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:49 pm by Chris Howe
Probably not discounts but you never know what can happen
23
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:23 pm by Golwar
Thanks Chris, I got the hint.
Btw. do you guys have the issue on your to-do list, that one can’t purchase a game when they already got it via Plus for free? In some rare cases people might want to support the developers, hehe.
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:56 pm by Chris Howe
I must admit that it is not on my to do list at the moment but I can mention it to the Store ops team
24
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:24 pm by Dr-abdulelah
hello Chris Howe
any chance to see discount on smart as… (psvita game )
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:56 pm by Chris Howe
Tbere is nothing planned at the moment, but I will see what we can do
25
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:25 pm by Tender_Brans0n
Hi Chris, thanks for securing a great deal on Walking Dead. Played the trial version and loved it! Bring on Wednesday!
On a side note: could you please look into Dante’s Inferno Super Bundle in the Expedition Sale? Please make the sale price for the rest of us Europeans.. Pretty please?
26
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:31 pm by Robinworldwide
Great offer, i’ll be sure to pick this one up and add it to my huge backlog as it is already lol!
27
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:36 pm by VirusPT
So, 11.25€ for the Season Pass, and 10€ for the indiviual episodes for PS Plus Members. Is this correct?
I find that kinda of odd, the reason for a Season Pass is to get the whole package cheaper, and not the other way around.
Is there going to be an additional sale this week (or month)? Like Unfinished Swan or so…
28
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:37 pm by K_for_Vendetta
the release date of th patch (italian subtitle)for walking dead??
29
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:40 pm by enmotent_DE
I dont understand. I read that the episode 1 is free, but the link send me to a page that says “Seite nicht Verfugbar” (which means, “Page not available” in German)
Is this a region specific offer?

Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:45 pm by Witcher70
Hi Chris
I want to buy the Two Worlds II GOTY Edition from the expedition sale, i read a post somewhere about the game being unplayable is this true?

Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:54 pm by Aces73High
Hi Chris! I was wondering if there are any plans to bring The Walking Dead series to Playstation Vita at some point in the future?
With a super busy working week and a pretty hectic home-life (don’t we all right?) I probably do as much as 90% of my gaming on handheld systems. Out of that block of say, give or take, a couple of hours per day, it’s my Vita that gets the lions share. I still dip into my iPad for the odd quick ‘fix’, but since trading in my Nintendo 3DS XL last October, I’m loving my Vita for proper grown-up gaming thrills.
I love point-and-click adventure games, I always have, and I’m a big fan of The Walking Dead episodic series too. Indeed I have all five episodes on iOS, but I reckon it’d be so much cooler Vita-style. Other P&C adventure games are making the jump from console/PC to handheld (often via iOS – like the utterly fabulous Machinarium for example). My thinking is that if they run on tiny iPhone’s and iPod’s, it pretty much stands to reason that they’d absolutely rock on Vita’s OLED five-incher right?!
32
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:54 pm by OttoT
@enmotent_DE You have to wait untill Wednesday (read post).
SO will episode 1 stay free forever. If not will, when you delete the game and want to reload it later, you be able to play the game because you always need the first eppisode to play?
33
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 2:58 pm by Aces73High
…continued from comment 31…
Like I said, I love point-and-click adventure games and I love my Playstation Vita. I’d just so love to see them intertwine a little. Okay, a lot. As well as The Walking Dead, and the previously mentoned Machinarium – and countless others – I’d particularly love to see gorgeous pixel art adventure Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, cult hero Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective and the wonderfully timeless Monkey Island games make the jump to Vita.
Either way, with the masses of potential offered by Vita’s connectivity with the upcoming PS4, I definitely predict exciting times ahead for the handheld corner of the gaming community.

Does this have a platinum or do you have to buy the disc for that?
35
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 3:20 pm by hjm50
Been waiting for this for a while, I’ve heard mostly positive reviews.
36
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 3:26 pm by xxSamuraiGirlxx
yes finally! been waiting for this to go on sale for ages.thanks chris.
so episode 1 will be free permanently?
no reason to buy season pass if more expensive just for a theme i’d never use…eh but i guess i will get the pass anyways to support telltale. only £1 difference.
off topic sort of but darksiders 2 season pass (11.99) is more expensive then the game it self (7.99)…will that change?
Posted on 19 March, 2013 at 2:37 pm by Chris Howe
Yep, episode 1 is free to keep as long as you download it within the discount period
With regards to the Darksiders stuff, the season pass includes a loooooot of DLC so its a pretty fair deal
37
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 3:29 pm by ChilliOne
Chris,
Great news about the Walking Dead discounts. Only problem with PSN & especially Plus is I dont have enough time to play all the stuff Im getting over last few months…keep it coming tho
Any plans for Mass Effect 3 DLC discounts soon? Or maybe a bundle with all three pieces?
I already had ME3 when it came to plus last month but id like to take a look at the DLC. However at around £32 for the lot, its expensive especially as ive heard very mixed reviews about Omega & Leviathan.
38
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 3:30 pm by xxSamuraiGirlxx
@Flipside666
is has a platinum trophy.
you don’t need the disc version.
39
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 3:43 pm by Voodoo341
That’s the whole issue with PS+ now. You’re wary about buying anything because you know there’s a good chance it will land on the IGC. It really needs sorted. If I was a developer I’d avoid PSN like the zombie hoard. Plus how can you actually justify selling the season pass for more than the individual episodes? That’s underhanded.
40
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 3:50 pm by Voodoo341
Chris if you can’t guarantee 12 months how long can you guarantee? Seems a reasonable request and shows you want to avoid another Sleeping Dogs fiasco.
41
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 3:55 pm by chrisboers
“Look out for a post about April on Friday”
and
“might be working on a little something else for Sound Shapes”
Might those be related somehow??
Posted on 19 March, 2013 at 2:34 pm by Chris Howe
haha sorry Chris I am afraid they are not connected
42
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 4:01 pm by xxSamuraiGirlxx
@Voodoo341
imo it’s not an issue because you have options.
if want to play a game just buy it or wait till it reduces in price, or wait for an indefinite amount of time to see if it will become free on ps+. the latter might not happen, so in that case you’d never play it?
there are gonna be some games you already played/own in the igc. it’s inevitable.
43
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 4:01 pm by Fr34kyUK
Is this the same as what is being released on the 22 march The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct???
Or is it something completely different???
44
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 4:06 pm by Erkawest
Hey Chris,
is there any info you could share, if possible, about One Piece Pirate Warriors? Is there going to be a sale for this game soon, or a discount?
45
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 4:10 pm by Jacko_the_lad
Oh look, it’s Voodoo. Aka the doom and gloom merchant.
46
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 4:16 pm by supersmith2500
1st Episode for free? Smith like’s it. = )
I might purchase a season pass during the Easter Hols and play the rest of the episodes when I get Sly 4.
47
Posted on 18 March, 2013 at 4:18 pm by Azuardo
This is what you get when you sign up for Plus. You can’t ever know exactly what is going to come down the line, but you pay for the opportunity to get such great games either free or at a discount. Not just that, but the chance to try out games you may never have even considered buying and discovering new favourite games and series. How can they guarantee what games will be sold free 12 months down the line, or even 2 months down the line? No one would pay for the games at all and just wait for the Plus discount/freebie!
Plus is a service of taking chances and seeing what comes down the line, but the price of the service is so amazing (I just bought another year for £20 at GAME!) that you really can’t be complaining when you can’t predict what will come to the service.

Anyone know the answer?

No that is a completely different game
