PS Store Deals & Sales

I just grabbed Wild Arms 1 and 2 and Legend of Dragoon for $0.99 each in this weekend's flash sale. There's some neat stuff out there if you don't already have them. Double Dragon Neon, Dyad, Thomas Was Alone, Worms Revolution, etc. check it out.

Sony's annual "Play" promotion begins with the store update tonight. This is the promo where you can pre-order two or more upcoming indie games to receive a cash-back reward later in the summer. Unfortunately, the regular price of these indie games seems to be increasing.

Code: Select all

Launch Title          PS Plus  Regular
29/7	Rogue Legacy   $13.59	$16.99
5/8 	The Swapper 	$15.99	$19.99
12/8	Hohokum 	    $11.99	$14.99
19/8	CounterSpy  	$11.99	$14.99

If you buy 2, you get $3 back.
If you buy 3, you get $6 back.
If you buy 4, you get $10 back.

That means if you buy all 4 and you're a PS+ member, you're paying an average of $10.89 per game with the cash-back taken into account.

EDIT: All four of these games are cross-buy across all three current PS platforms (PS3, PS4, Vita).

Under Defeat HD is only $2.69 on PSN this week. That's the best of the weekly sales. They also have Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut Ultimate Edition for $5.39.

Mass Effect Trilogy is also a nice deal at $13.99, but it's been down around there before, so it's not smokin'.

I was going to grab that Batman game I don't want - wasn't sure if this was yesterday's update or next week. It's not there yet but I'll grab it if only for my step-son. I may even play it someday.

I did notice while I was in the store that there's a Konami sale going on. Quite a bit in there, too. I grabbed Suikoden per Kong's previous recommendation for $2.69. Woo-hoo!

Yeah, these all go live on the first Tuesday in October.

That Batman game is one of the best Batman games ever made. It's basically a 3D Metroid with Batman instead of Samus. Good action, pacing, etc. But it'll only work for you if you're into that kind of thing.

I'll try to pull up some info about the Konami sale to post on here.

There's also another "spend $100 on PSN and get $15 back" deals in October.

I'm not sure there's $100 worth of stuff I'd want to buy this month. My gaming budget is pretty much fatigued with the PS TV on the way anyway, but if there's anyone out there who wanted to pick up digital copies of some AAA new releases, I guess this would be a good time.
