I so want both of these games. Along with LBP, PSN indie games kick ass  :-*

Uh, Flower is from the same people that made Flow.  I'm sure in the end it'll be a better screensaver than an actual game.  Pixel Junk Eden might be interesting though.  Honestly, I'd rather have boardgames like Catan 'cause that's the shit I'll actually play.  Most of the esoteric indie games I've played have been more interesting in concept than in practice.  I usually fool around with them for a little bit and then go back to something else.

I think PSN can have better download exclusives over XBLA because of the unlimited package size...hell last week I downloaded a title that was sold on X360 in disk form.

XBLA has some great games too - but they can just do more with the PSN titles.

Yet they don't, outside of Warhawk which is a bobobo disc title.

Speaking of caps, MS just raised their cap again. The only PSN game I have that is over the new cap is Tekken DR IIRC

I appreciate that Sony is funding these projects, but I haven't bought one yet that has felt worth even the small amount of money it cost. SSHD is a great game, but fl0w seems to be little more than an idea. And the game I'm most looking forward to is a legacy game straight from Sony itself. So yeah, it's nice that there is an outlet for these quirky ideas, but they need to do more with them if they are going to continue charging for them.

Does XBLA have a Chess game yet? I was hoping it'd get some cool Battlechess variant, but there was nothing like that available when I owned a 360.

Are you talking about Wipeout HD?

I think there was some board game compilation on XBLA a year ago.
