radiogun Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Should that be a great idea like if some of the games on sales and if we can show when the game was the cheapest? http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?pu=2645161 example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bad it's not 5 months ago, when I could've bought that game at its cheapest price!" Well, if you see a game on sale at 50%, but that the same game already has been discounted to 80%, you know that it is not especiallyt the right time to buy it... So yeah, it could be usefull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuinlanLJ Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 NA first, and maybe europe It should track every PSN store or nothing at all. Also, to much work for a semi-useful tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neputyunu Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 they dont really need to put all the games, maybe just all popular games The thing with popular games is, that they are popular! You can find them everywhere cheap as secondhand. The question is, why should I care about the way too overpriced PSN-prices in the first place? I never was like "Ohh lets look at PSN if the 70€ game, that is 30€ as disc, 20€ in the US, or 10€ used, is suddenly cheaper or was it somewhen in the past, which is unimportant anyway, because even with saleprices I can get it cheaper on disc." It would be something different with japanese games and their digital-only-plague... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotAFoxAnymore Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 they dont really need to put all the games, maybe just all popular games The issue there is what defines a 'popular game'? Do you merely mean generic AAA games that see yearly releases? Or does this include indies and J-games that are well received? I could see that causing an argument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenShaka Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Well, if you see a game on sale at 50%, but that the same game already has been discounted to 80%, you know that it is not especiallyt the right time to buy it... So yeah, it could be usefull. Hmm, the problem -as you know- is digital games do not depreciate in the same way as physical ones. And, really, nothing helps you to predict if you're going to get a better price next time than an actual sale. It's just a matter of luck. All depends on the agreement between Sony and the publishers. Bethesda put Dishonored DLCs at great price before they release its last dlc, now every time you see a Bethesda sale they're expensive than that day (just one day some of them were at that great price) and that last DLC never drop like those old dlc (less than 7.50). You can track using psn website, that's what I do, that's how everytime I see a new sale I post things like: well. this game you find at a great price (Magus $2) it was on sale at $1 many months ago. In my case -due my region- I go to us psn blog and go to Search and use the tags and categories. Edited August 31, 2015 by GoldenShaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggworth Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Don't think it's needed. There always a sale thread which will be full of advice on whether certain games are worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be something different with japanese games and their digital-only-plague... There are plenty of popular games without a retail release... Beyond Good & Evil HD Broken Sword 5 (I think, may be wrong. Although it's getting a PS4 release soon) Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon FEZ Guacamelee Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth... There are plenty. I personally don't think this'd be useful - I doubt it'd show us any meaningful patterns, and it'd be difficult to implement and then keep updated (probably). Sly could get specific members to handle it, like the guide team, but imo it wouldn't be worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and as you said, considering that we're not going to get a pattern we don't need a detailed history, IF this is implemented it would be just the best price, something like:Bastion PS4: (Price) $3.45 (Region) NA (Event) Ps store update 7/21/15. So, you compare that price with your actual sale and your wallet. Edited August 31, 2015 by GoldenShaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJJ88 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 How about just buying games when you think it's a good deal and worth the price for you. Whatever it's on sale or launch prices. It's not that hard to follow weekly sales. This is one of those things that seems like a good idea in your head, but when you say it to someone else you realise it's not all that good. This. This is exactly what I thought when I saw this topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like it takes care of the TC's problem. They'll even send out emails to you if you want to track a game. As an aside, I thought the original idea was fine, and hardly worth some of the mockery found here, but I also think that if someone else is doing it, there's no need to attempt to improve upon it.

Kittens Are Awesome Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I agree with most. This is not something that would be useful. However, i know there are similar sites for other stores. I'm pretty sure they don't manually enter price history for every product. Camelcamelcamel.com Is one of the sites i can remember off the top of my head that does this. It tracks prices for Amazon.
