Bionic Commando Rearmed available now on the EU PSN Store

by Jem Alexander { Aug 15th 2008 at 1:50PM }

Okay, color us confused, but kind of impressed. We were just tipped off that Bionic Commando Rearmed, that awesome current-gen re-imagining of the old Capcom classic, is now available on the European PlayStation Store. "Surely not," we thought. We wrote the European store update up yesterday and BCR was nowhere to be seen.

Nevertheless, the tip was correct. Bionic Commando Rearmed is now available, in both full-game and demo form, on the European PlayStation Store. For UK patrons, you can hookshot the game for £6.99, while those of you who deal in Euros (Brodie-san, we're looking at you) will need to part with €9.99. Nice work SCEE. So, have you bought it yet? Why not? Go get!

[Thanks Wilester]

That's kinda the point of this article; the US got the game yesterday during the normal Thursday update.

dabamf @ Aug 15th 2008 2:22PM

Yeah, that was scheduled to happen for the US...Europe is the surprise release:

kevin @ Aug 15th 2008 2:35PM

see brodie it finally paid off bothering Jem for the dirrent currency type :)

Brodie-san @ Aug 15th 2008 5:21PM

Wow, a name-check.
:)

Thanks Jem.

Ironically, after many conversations with my shrink, I have decided to let the euro fixation go. The writers here do a fantastic job and I know they don't omit euro prices on purpose as part of some nefarious anti-auro plot. I promise you guys won't have to listen to me whine about it anymore.

My work here is done.
:)

Thanks again,

Brodie-san

Anti-auro? ^

Definitely spent too much time playing MGS today.

Euro even.

TheKeeperBoy @ Aug 15th 2008 2:37PM

Capcom/SCEE in the clutch!

Pesico @ Aug 15th 2008 3:11PM

Hmmm... I can't find it. Can somebody check if it's still there?

dschinges @ Aug 15th 2008 3:24PM

Maybe my eyesight just got bad, but I cannot find it (German PSN account).

Fuzzy @ Aug 15th 2008 3:36PM

So... where the hell is it? I've been through just about every tab and I can't find it anywhere. Is it only available to UK residents or something?

dabamf @ Aug 15th 2008 4:30PM

A lot of times when stuff goes up early like this unexpectedly, it will get taken down pretty quickly. I'm reminded of a Warhawk patch that went up early and then got taken down.

bnz @ Aug 15th 2008 3:41PM

I am betting that Capcom pushed some buttons to make that happen. This is so untypical for SCEE. I was expecting a few months delay - that would be typical for SCEE.

koehler83 @ Aug 15th 2008 4:13PM

Buy it then go shave off all your hair so you dont pull it out.

dabamf @ Aug 15th 2008 4:31PM

Don't worry, I yanked all my hair out already...thanks Pixeljunk Eden.

Devin @ Aug 15th 2008 10:31PM

Yeah, I've yanked it all out trying to get the All Pollen while trying to get All Seeds trophy...I feel your pain

jd @ Aug 15th 2008 4:53PM

It's not in the German store ...

matt @ Aug 15th 2008 5:51PM

what a delightful surprise, I thought I wouldn't be able to play it until at least next week.

ClouDbOy @ Aug 15th 2008 7:30PM

I have just bought it on the EU PlayStation Store. It seems to be a pretty good game.

ElStefio @ Aug 15th 2008 9:39PM

Went and got demo. Played demo. Deleted demo. Hope there's nothing wrong with me as i seem to be the only person around who thinks this game is do-do...

kentuckyfried @ Aug 16th 2008 2:58AM

It's fun, but it's not going to please everyone. Very old school, and not easy as it moves further along.

tsnake @ Aug 16th 2008 7:20AM

Not in the norwegian store.....

tsnake @ Aug 16th 2008 7:56AM

Why did my comment get deleted? I only said that its not on the norwegian store...

Camb3h @ Aug 16th 2008 8:31AM

I was surprised to find the quasi-remake of the old c64 game "Commando" in there also, which is also now the new commando game. At first I thought "naww this isn't paying homage" but then the music is the same. I was happy :D
