Is anyone anywhere playing this? It was released on the same day as OSTD for $50 so I'm guessing no. If I had a PS3 and this thing cost $20 like the original did I'd go for it.

I liked the first two on the PS2 when they were, what?, $30?

Haven't really been interested in the series since then.

It's like $37 at Amazon after ECA discount & AMZNKATA $5 off code.

Still, I can't support Namco whoring the franchise out despite the creator's intentions to leave it at one (although forced into making two) games.  I feel like it's his franchise and only he can make a good game with it.

It doesn't really help that the Katamari Damacy hit in 2004 and there's been FIVE sequels since then.

I bought it last Friday. My wife and I have been having blast with it so far.

That was the awesome thing about the first two. Since they were cheaper in price, I was more inclined to pick them up. I'll wait until a price drop of some variety before I bite.

I paid full price for the 360 one and enjoyed it for what it was. 1080p and a bunch of filters isn't enough to get me to bite again, it's no longer interesting.

First game was an awesome deal, second game was an okay deal. $50? Lol, no.

$50? fuck this shit.

Why couldn't they release this as a PSN game?

Yes, I don't see how many gamers would buy this at $50.  I download the demo to give it a chance but even if that made a good impression, there's no way I'm paying $50 for a game like this.

Have you played The Wonderful End of the World on Steam? It's basically the same sort of thing as Katamari.

The JP demo felt strained. I won't be buying this.

Yup, and it had something like $30 worth of DLC keys.

that's right, now I remember.

Man, Namco has been really frickin bad about DLC this gen, see also Ace Combat 6, Soul Calibur 4, Ridge Racer 6-7, etc.
