Konami To Release Stripped Down Vita Game for Free
Konami will be releasing a ‘free’ download only game for the PlayStation Vita when the handheld launches in Japan later this month. The game is called AR Combat Digi Q and will be accessible through the PlayStation Store.
As the name implies, AR Combat Digi Q is an augmented reality game that will utilize the PS Vita’s cameras. But what makes this game so special amongst the launch line up that will surely be filled with other downloadable goodies? Konami has decided to release the game in small chunks similar to the way Android and iOS games are released.
The first five levels of AR Combat Digi Q will be free. After that players will have to pony up multiple times if they wish to experience the full game. Stages 6 – 30 will cost 800 Yen (about $ 10 USD), stages 31 – 35 and 36 – 40 will cost 200 Yen (about $ 3 USD) for each pack. That means that total cost of ownership for AR Combat Digi Q is around $ 16.
The game is currently set for release in Japan next month and has appeared in a list of launch titles for the UK and Europe. No word on if the game will be released in North America.

Free Battlefield 1943 Finally Coming for PS3 BF3 Owners
After Sony promised a free copy of Battlefield 1943 with every PS3 version of Battlefield 3, some gamers were outraged when they discovered that instead of having an entire full game for free, EA announced that they will offer the Back to Karkand DLC a week earlier – but still would charge for the content. Thankfully, EA have finally made good on Sony’s promise, and will give you the PSN shooter for free later this month.
After stating that there have “been some misunderstandings,” EA revealed plans to let you download the WWII Battlefield game, possibly in response to the lawsuit filed by firm Edelson McGuire on behalf of PS3 Battlefield 3 owners, which claimed that EA “misled and profited from thousands of their customers by making a promise that they could not, and never intended, to keep.”
To get the game you won’t just be able to download it, and will have to jump through a few hoops:
- Activate your Battlefield 3 Online Pass for the PlayStation 3 using the voucher included in the game.
- Visit 1943redemption.battlefield.com on or after the region specific dates outlined below and log in with your Origin ID and password, or sign up for Origin.
- Select your territory – vouchers do not work across regions.
- You will then receive a PlayStation 3 voucher for Battlefield 1943.
- Input your voucher into the PlayStation Network store.
- Download Battlefield 1943.
The 1943 code will be available on different dates, depending where you live. The portal to get the code will be available on, or after:
