It looks and sounds kinda cool, but I'm curious what the price will be. If it's $4.99 I'd pick it up for sure, but if it's $9.99.....I'm not so sure.....

[stockstar1138]

ill try it.

[Sweetstache]

this just looks so brilliant, I'm really digging on these experimental games that show up on the psn - flow, flower, and to some extent even rub a dub. I can't wait to try out this Linger in Shadows

[Shin-Ra]

I think they'll struggle to sell it for more than $5, personally.

[Morphine]

that is a lot of work for just $5, 10 should be fine

Im mad that SARPBC is $15! Thats a lot for a PSN game. Im wondering how much this interactive art is going to be. Prob 9.99 but Im hoping for 4-6.99.

I've only gotten 95% so far. Not sure what I'm missing. Anyway, is there a way to save the the dog? I keep thinking that's the point but so far, nothing I've tried has worked.

Spoiler:

[Show spoiler]No way to save dog, it dies :P. All the trophies are in youtube if interested

[air_max]

sooooooooo, what the duck is this thing? i downloaded the video on the psn but it didn't really give much insight.

[Xerios]

+1 . Exactly what I came in here to say.

I have an off topic question, this digital art will probably be my first psn store purchase....now my question is, after downloading, is there a way to make a backup of the program before installing it? The reason I'm asking this is because if something goes wrong with my ps3's hd in the future, I don't want to loose my purchase and be forced to buy it again. I really don't want to make a full hd backup of my ps3's hd either.

thanks for any info.

[swifty7]

ony $2.99 that's dirt cheap!

When you download something it goes into your "veiw downloads" in the PSN store. all you have to do is re download them.

[swifty7]

oh! ok.

thanks!!!

I did purchase it and it's ok but I guess you don't get much for 2.99.
