man, it's time I finally get into these.

Yes it is. 

You know. . . I'd be all over this stuff if I could keep it without a membership or if I was going to play it right away. What if they turn off the servers sometime in the future? All those free games go "poof".

This isn't "free" it's $9.99 so they can turn off the servers all they want.

Oh, that's cool. I have to keep closer tabs on this stuff. The sales going on on both X360 and PS3 are pretty cool.

Hell yes. I'm loving the recent re-releases of the PS2 SMT games.  I missed out on all of them at the time, so I've got a lot to catch up on.   I've really enjoyed all the ones I've played so far. A month ago I beat Devil Summoner and am now about 25 hours into Nocturne. I bought the first Digital Devil Saga game when it came on PSN a couple weeks ago, and will buy this one too. 

After the flash sale and i have a few extra bucks I'll snap up this and DDS 1 together.

As you say, they're two halves of a whole....gotta get the whole pie!!!

I think I'll wait for both games to be half off.  Many of Atlus' games get 50% off sales.

If they go to 5 bucks each I'll buy them too. I have the original games with soundtracks and the collectors case but that way I can play them again without having to use my discs. 

I have the originals too, but they're just the regular versions.  

I think that's why I haven't gotten into this series along with other sub series of the game itself. I'm confusined on which is which and how they are different despite them being side games. One day I'll sit down and find out the differences between them all besides their titles.

All the offshoots are standalones. They only share a universe but the stories and characters are different.
