amazing, incredible game.
Agreed
one of the best platformers of all time.
Not really, it is part 3d action part platformer, and the platforming bits get frustrated now and then by the camera, i'd say LBP is a much better platformer, and Rayman (to name the two platformers ive played this year) is miles beyond in terms of actual platforming
BUY it.
Very much agreed, it is not a long game, but the quality is VERY high, you'll probably spend less then ten hours on it, but $3 an hour is peanuts for this level of quality.

Dammit, I didn't think such a new game would have a sale so I bought it on PSN already. At least it was only 5 more for me.

Yeah, same. The Amazon store has been insanely good for people who like to buy digital only.
Sly Cooper PS3 code is only $10 (it's a cross-buy title). Insane.

How much is it on the PS Store in the US?
1
$35.99

Compared to the Norwegian store, prices are usually much lower in the US ($60 games are over $80 here). But in this case, Tearaway is actually $31 here.

One question, if I purchase the digital code in Amazon, do I redeem it in PSN store?
So all I have to do is create an Amazon account, purchase via credit card or so, and redeem the code via PSN store right?
1
Right. Codes from Amazon.com will only work on US/Canadian PSN accounts (with the exception of PSN credit ($10/20/50) for Canadians.
You can redeem codes on either your PC (store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com), or your PS Vita (open the livearea screen for the PS Store and touch the first button at the top of your screen. It looks like a pencil with the numbers 1 and 2).
Right now Sony has disabled the ability to redeem codes (probably due to a server overload caused by new PS4 owners and the PS Plus Black Friday sale). You should check the PlayStation blog for updates.

Why is it so expensive in the US ? Its 25€ in EU
1
25 Euros is about 34 US Dollars.
As to why it's so expensive, I think it's because the publisher sets the price. In the US, SCEA is the publisher of Sony's first party developed games, and they have a really predictable pricing system.
Most SCEA published games have a suggested retail price of either $19.99, $29.99 or $39.99 in-store. On the PS Store, these games get a 10% discount, so end up being either $17.99, $26.99 or $35.99.
Big releases by well known studios (Media Molecule, Guerilla Games, Japan Studio, Sony Bend) get put in the $39.99/$35.99 pricing bracket, while smaller releases or games by lesser known studios (Studio Liverpool, San Diego Studio, Nihilistic Software) get put in the lower pricing brackets.

Well thank you. You know your stuff.

WOW that $10 on Sly 3 is impressive

I just got my vita yesterday and through sales and PS+ I have like 6 full games and some other smaller things, but damn it I've already spent this much and I really want this!
1
Play the demo, it unlocks right into the single player and gives you an idea of what to expect. Honestly though the game is brilliant.

I missed this deal... Damn. Still though even paying extra this game is well worth it. It just has so much character.

Just redeemed my code on my PS Vita. Surprisingly it still came with the pre-order bonuses (thought it was only available for the first week).
For people who buy this and miss out on the pre-order bonuses, it might be possible to get them by complaining to Sony about the redeem code function being disabled. Who knows?
1
I used the code on my Vita and redeemed it, but is it not showing up as Purchased in the PSN store for anyone else?
The store page doesn't have the red PS bag and download, and instead has the buy option.

This is a great game, people should pick it up while it's on sale!
It's only $5 off...it'll go way lower in the future.
I think 30 bucks warrants a purchase for this game. Not to mention it supports the amazing people at media molecule and it sends a message to Sony to keep funding these fun, quirky games.
