Jordan Mechner's Karateka will see its price punched and kicked down to $5. Twin-stick shooter Big Sky Infinity will be $5.99 and features Cross Buy, unlocking the game on both PS3 and Vita.

Twin-stick shooter Really Big Sky evolves to 'Big Sky Infinity' on PS3 and Vita
Side-scrolling twin-stick shooter Really Big Sky is making its way from PC to relatively smaller (and bigger!) screens. Developer Boss Baddie, collaborating with Voofoo Studios and Ripstone Publishing, is working on a new version for PlayStation Vita and PS3 called Big Sky Infinity.Details of the new version are more ... finite, but Boss Baddie promises "new modes and enemies, and touch controls" (the latter for the Vita version, of course). You can get a broad sense of what Big Sky is about by watching the trailer for the PC version above, trying the demo at the website, or checking out Really Big Sky on Steam, where it's currently on sale for $2.50.
