Awesome. Crazy Taxi was so frickin fun way back when .... I'd get the steering wheel for this game as an arcade-style fun game and GT5 for more of the sim stuff. NFS is also on the list .... $2 is nice for savings but I don't know if PSN Plus is worth the extra cost, tho?

If you buy a lot of stuff off the PSN, PSN+ is a nice way to save money and get a lot of little goodies.

If you are very precise about how you spend your money, perhaps not buying that much from the online store, then you're better off with the free PSN.

Yeah spending $50 to save $2 probably doesn't make much sense. But if you buy a lot of stuff off the PSN then it is pretty darn beneficial. I have been happy with PS+.

Will someone confirm if the original music is in the game? Or whether custom soundtracks are available for use?

@Rouma

the original music IS NOT present, because of licensing issues (obvi)

@Rouma I don't know if it will support Custom Soundtracks but from what I understand, the original soundtrack will not be in the remake.

"However, each game has one issue that keeps the XBLA (and PSN) version from absolute perfection.

In Crazy Taxi's case, it's the lack of licensed music and locations, meaning that destinations like Pizza Hut have been replaced by generic stores, and the Offspring and Bad Religion soundtrack has been swapped out for sorta/kinda soundalikes."

Cool. I cant wait to get this game. Hope it'll have custom soundtracks. I dont think i'll be able to withstand that music again. Lol!

Unless, I have to!

Awesome! Glad to see us Playstation Plus subscribers getting a discount on this.

Also, I'd have to say that by the time my membership needs to be renewed, I can say it's worth it (got a bunch of discounts on games I wanted (and didn't just buy) as well as getting into the KZ3, DS2, and AC: Brotherhood betas). AC Brotherhood wasn't a draw mind you, all PS+ members got into it.

Can't wait to pick this up tonight :D

If it doesn't have the original music or custom soundtrack its not worth a buy in my book.
That offspring song is what everyone thinks of when they think of crazy taxi.
While I'll miss driving people to kfc and pizza hut(heard they were taken out) those are hardly a big deal.

They could have made a deal with Offspring's record label to get the music on this version. I only knew of Offspring because of the original release.

I love the fact Dreamcast games are making a comeback. I hope Skies of Arcadia will be one of them.

@Freedom Great game but bad for XBLA. Let's see Chu Chu Rocket, Virtua Tennis, Power Stone 1 or 2, and Alien Front Online!

The Powerstone Collection is on PSN, but only for PSP...

I've stumbled upon it more than once, and each time I see that its only for PSP I want to throw my controller at the TV. Why the hell can't I play downloadable PSP games (besides Minis) on my PS3?!?

Call me when you beat all my S-rank scores from the Dreamcast days. Still have those saved on a VMU somewhere.

I remember getting all S-Rank on the optional mission things in the PS2 version. The only one I didn't ace was the very last one that you had to unlock by beating all the others. Man was that level tough.

There are 4 XBLA games coming out tomorrow. I don't think Microsoft wanted anymore this week.

First Sonic Adventure, then ChuChu Rocket on my phone, now Crazy Taxi.

The Dreamcast is dead.

Long live the Dreamcast.

The only Dream I Cast in my mind is of Jet Set Radio, Shenmue, and Dynamite Cop holding hands together on PSN. But then I awaken in a cold sweat.
