It's on sale for me at the moment for $52 AUD, should I get it? Seems like a shit ton of easy platinums. 

Get it! I usually refrain from buying digital relases, but it's highly unlikely to get these games for a similar price on disc. I'll buy the collection next week.

I just realised after looking through the sales page that i didn't see Danganronpa on Vita but it shows 50% discount and the same date of offer expires in my wishlist... all offers seem to be PS4 only just what is cross-buy with PS3 and/or PSV is shown too but there is at least 1 Vita only title on discount so i assume there are more...

 

Didn't bought anything besides Duke Nukem PS4 yet but i saw Minecraft Season Mode 1 and 2 (13 episodes) for 15€ what a great deal... too bad i have Season 1 already ... and Season 2 isn't on discount on its own...

This sale is basically a big juicy steak designed to tempt my eternally hungry backlog.

I suppose in NA store it will be online in couple of hours... (i hope so)

There are a few games I want to get but it comes down to the same question. Do I buy them now and hope they aren’t cheaper in the future before I have a chance to play them or do I wait till my backlogs a bit smaller and get them on sale for less than they cost now. The only real advantage to getting them now is I can play them whenever I want. Guess I’ll wait till the sale is on the PS Store on PS4 and have another look then.

Aaaand almost nothing for the last genners. 

...I'm not sure how to feel about that. Nothing off the wishlist got discounted. Here's to hoping the store is just taking its time to sort things out.

It's kind of an inevitability that this will happen gradually though right? Considering they aren't making PS3 units anymore and are putting the majority of their resources into pushing PS4 and all it's related games & tech. The percentage of last genners has decreased exponentially over the past 2 years while PS4 ownership has increased to over 70 million worldwide (almost as much as the PS3 sold in it's entire lifecycle).

 

Not wanting to sound terrible here, but might be worth considering jumping on the PS4 bandwagon when you can, it's a lovely console and an admirable selection of games for it too. Additionally as Playstation Now starts to up the ante you'll end up being able to play all the PS3 titles you've had to leave behind in the transfer too.

500+ games! 800+ items! Almost nothing for PS3/PSV! Nice! Meanwhile the Steam Winter Sale started yesterday (i wasn't aware of that until i checked my emails) and i just discovered that 17 out of 20 of my wishlisted items are discounted...

No PS3/Vita games ?

 

Man I would have bought so many PS3/Vita games. Oh well, guess I won't be spending any money in this sale and can keep reducing my backlog.

[Crispy_Oglop]

I get so into these sales, but when I think about it, I still have games purchased in the end of year sales gathering dust in my backlog from 2 years ago.

 

I see a game that's a bargain and i'm like 'wow that's a great deal, i'll get that even though i'm not gonna play it now, i'll play it later, at least i'll get it cheap', but then it sits in my backlog and I look at it from time to time and say 'I must play this soon'. And then as each sale and year passes my 'I must play this soon' pile gets bigger and bigger. I might have an unexpected opportunity to dip into the backlog, but it grows, like this big hungering but awesome monster in the background.

 

You ever do that thing with Netflix where you sit down to watch something and browse through the titles for a bit to find something, then you find that you've been browsing for an hour and you need to go to bed? I kinda feel like gaming is starting to get the same way, especially when I want to decide on something to play.

Don't have spare money to upgrade. Else I would have moved long ago.

For sure, i'll keep my fingers crossed that some PS3 stuff goes up  and when you get at PS4 in the future I'll raise a beer for you and i'll about if you want to co-op stuff.

Mass Effect: Andromeda and Rise of the Tomb Raider are good deals for 20e but i'd still need ps+ . Everything else i want is still at 25-30e.I can get the physical versions for the same prices.I was hoping for a discount in Frozen Wilds dlc but i guess it's too soon.Overall it's a good sale, but i think i'll pass

[Evil_Joker88]

The Sales page increased they added the PSV and PS3 games now there are over 1000 items visible...

 

Picked up Danganronpa in addition to Duke Nukem

Try to Focus on games you are really interested in, and stop purchasing games, which look fun and could be ok but probably will end in your backlog. Inform yourself about the games you are going to buy and try to find out, if they really suit your interests. Or before you buy a game, think about if you would like to start the game right away. If not, simply dont buy it. Sales will come again, and mostly they become better over time.

Thanks for pointing out. RIP Wallet again

[gabor434]

I would buy Life is Strange Before the Storm, but i dont wanna repeat my experience with the previous game. I bought it from the PS store thinking it is a digital only game and a while after they released a physical version...

Anybody know if LiS Before the Storm will get a physical version later?

[fabmorais_2011]

I might get Everything for 6,99€. I mean, the game Everything.

[voodoo_eyes]

Took them long enough to put up the actual Christmas deals. Still a good portion of the deals offered had a bigger discount during previous sales.

 

A lot of games I want, but due to my self-imposed rule of not buying digital games that cost over 9€ (I make exception for season passes, as I rarely buy those anyway), I settled for these:

 

• Full Throttle Remastered
• The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing
• Kona
• Demetrios

 

Probably still going to get the Mafia 3 season pass as well though.

[Lordguwa]

it's very good europe got something of a sale. Demetrios is a cross buy game. if have a vita you can plat it twice.

Thanks for the heads up

[itachi-destroyer]

A lot of things are interesting in this sale but the games I wanted the most to see on sales are not in this one  

I would love a final huge sale for PS3 games so I can buy everything I want. I guess I should have bought Catherine and the Ninja Gaiden while they were on sale ...

 

The PS4 sale is the only one that isn't really good imo (except for VR games), I wanted to buy Tales Of Berseria and Blue Reflection but I'll wait, they are still too expensive.
