Capcom Unity has announced on its Twitter account that the excellent Bionic Commando Rearmed has received a price cut on the US Playstation Store. Specifically, the once $10 game is now available for only $4.99. If you haven't taken the plunge on the beautifully revamped remake, there's no time like the present.
After all, it's not like you get to explode the head of a resurrected World War 2 dictator every day. And, even if you did, it wouldn't be this cheap.

I bought it at full price. $4.99 is a steal.

I knew waiting for a price drop was a good move... now if it only had trophies....

Ah, so they did. Oh well.
"It was initially our goal to retro-program in trophies for BCR while we were working on them in the 3D version. Unfortunately, the clock ran out and we had to put all our resources on completing the 3D game. I know this comes as a disappointment to a lot of people and trust me, it’s incredibly disappointing to me as well, but rather than giving you a PR-coated response, I’d rather give it to you straight. It was a tough call but with limited resources and time, we had to cut this from the main production schedule in order to make the 3D game the best it could be. Again, personal apologies for not being able to come through with this one."

I bought it when it was released. Great game.
Capcom really needs to hold up to its promise of a trophy patch though.

I was going to buy this a little while ago but I decided against it (because I use prepaid credit cards and they're kind of a pain in the ass). I'm glad I waited.

Ive been bugging a mate to buy this since release, hope he will finally get it now.
Hopefully it will get a boost in sales and convince them to release future titles at a lower price (yaright)

Awesome, I almost bought this last night once I found out it was $10 and not $15 but held off. I would have been really pissed if I did buy it yesterday.

It's why they wont get my money. I played, and beat the game years ago, going back to play the game again, without trophies does not make sense to me.
Sure $5.00 is a cheap price for a game.
But I am choosing to vote "no" with my wallet..

Looks like making a game in 3D was their top priority. Pshaw! 3D is so overrated. I saw Colraline, I was only mildly amused. I'll take a digital trophy stamp any day over an immersive 3D landscape.

No Trophies means No Fun!!!

And just to be clear, this new pricing is only effective for 1 week.

Thought the headline said "Bionic Commando Reamed".

If you read the post at the Playstation blog, he's pretty apologetic about the trophy thing, which I'll give him credit for doing. None of that "hey we didn't promise nothing" stuff we saw with Street Fighter II
Even without trophies, though, if you've never played the original BC I'd still recommend picking it up, especially for $5.

I appreciate his polite candidness. Unlike a certain other Capcom rep who told us all to f*** off earlier.

this, the free ragdoll kungfu, free motorstorm PR DLC, and free home house.. pretty good week on the PSN.

There is no reason why titles should not have trophies this late in the game.

It surprises me that game-publishers still dont see the power of these trophies. Allot of HC gamers wont buy the game unless it has trophies.
WAKE UP!!
Your missing out on allot of money, so patch this game already.
@Konami :: Patch Silent Hill already...

I've no interest in this game (tried the demo), but I do love to see PSN games receive price drops.
Personally, I'm waiting on a price drop for PJM and PJE, among others.

I cant believe some of you refuse to buy the game because it lacks trophies. Do you guys even care about the GAME?
Youre all a bunch of idiots.
