Beginning with today's specially-dated Tuesday PSN update, a handful of downloadable PS3 titles will be offered for half-price until December 2. Here's a list of the encheapened games, and their temporarily slimmed-down prices:

Bomberman Ultra – $4.99

Flower – $4.99
Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao – $7.49
The Last Guy – $4.99

Prince of Persia Classic jumping onto PSN

by Alan Tsang { Oct 10th 2008 at 10:00AM }

Prince of Persia Classic is a remake of the original Prince of Persia which debuted on the Apple II, with improved graphics, new enemies and better controls. The game was released on XBLA July of last year, but according to an article published on Sony's Games and Media News site last week, it will be headed for PSN as well. This confirms a ESRB listing we noticed back in July. No word on a release date or price, but we are assuming pricing-wise, it will remain the same as its XBLA counterpart, which means it shall cost $10.

Prince of Persia Classic coming to PSN

by Alexander Sliwinski { Oct 10th 2008 at 3:27AM }

An article on the PlayStation Games & Media News site reveals that a PSN version of Prince of Persia Classic is on its way. The PSN version appears to be the same as the XBLA release from last year, which saw a graphical and control upgrade to the original (and retro frustrating) Prince of Persia from 1989.

There's currently no price announced for the title, but if we had to guess, it would be $10 like the XBLA version. We've contacted Ubisoft and asked about a release date.

ESRB: Prince of Persia Classic heading to PSN

by Andrew Yoon { Jul 28th 2008 at 4:30PM }

One of the greatest retro revivals of all time may finally be heading to the PS3, if this update to the ESRB is true. Ubisoft's Prince of Persia Classic revived the original game, but used completely modern graphics a la Bionic Commando Rearmed. Classic debuted exclusively on XBLA last year, but it appears it won't be long until PS3 fans will get a chance to play the game.

The ESRB has always been a reliable source of game leaks, and we doubt this case is any different. PSN is already a showcase to stellar PS3 exclusive downloadables, and getting XBLA's best games on our service only makes it even better. See the original XBLA trailer after the cut.
