Popular Post visighost Posted April 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) I noticed Christmas came around every year, so I thought I'd make a mock-up calendar for PSN sales to know what's coming for people like me with an iffy understanding of time and recurrence. January: -Last weeks of the Holiday Sale -PS Essentials Sale February: -Critics' Choice Sale March: -Great Indoors Sale April: -Golden Week Sale May: -Extended Play Sale June: -Days of Play Sale -Best of E3 Sale (did not happen in 2019) July: -Totally Digital Sale (was in May in 2019) -Mid-Year Sale (might start in late June) August: -Attack of the Blockbuster Sale -Quake-Con Sale September: -PS Picks Sale October: -Sale of the Dead -Double Discounts Sale -PS VR Celebration Sale November: -Black Friday Sale December: -Game Awards Sale -First weeks of the Holiday Sale Throughout the year: -There is one, sometimes two Flash Sales every month -There are periodical Publisher Sales (usually a few every month) -"PS+ Double Discounts", "PS+ Specials", "Only on PS" and other "Pub Party" sales don't appear to be on a strict schedule - I've only added those that appeared on the same month for the past two years to the list. I did not dig too deeply into the actual content or length of the sales, but if someone has the information, I'll add it. Corrections and comments welcome.

DrHambone Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Nice job! I noticed some sales seem routine and not 'out-of-the-blue.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmland12 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Nice job. I knew about some of these, but didn't realize there were so many that happened regularly like this. I bet they'll skip the E3 sale this year, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJP_X Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 oddly there hasn't been any weekly sales this week or last week. was expecting a flash sale or some kind of start to a long running sale last friday. so i guess one or the other will be this friday. its all good though, wouldn't mind not spending until golden week, if we even get it this year with all the anti-japan business since things took a turn for the worst some months or so after last years golden week, wouldn't be surprised if they don't promote it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelloycat Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Just patiently waiting on that Golden Week sale. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero_of_Time_507 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Well, confirmed that I should be looking forward to July. Heard that the Mid-year/Summer sale was comparable in size to the Holiday Sale, so hopefully it goes as well as that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandA60VISE Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Do PS2 games go on sale anymore? Would gladly rebuy some of them to get a platinum on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring sale started in EU last Wednesday, so I'm thinking either tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Doubt they'll do anything mayor right on or after the release of Days Gone.

visighost Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the kind words everyone. I was under the impression the Great Indoor Sale was the Spring Sale equivalent for PSN... I actually started the list above because of the lack of sales these last two weeks. It is indeed rare that they don’t at least have a boring AAA publisher sale going on... I wish they had the catalogue of a smaller publisher, like Devolver or Curve, go on sale for a change! Or maybe have an old game sale (well, early PS4 years)... Anything to bring some old games on my wishlist to a sweet-spot price level!

Masamune Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I actually don't mind the lack of good PSN sales recently, that's let me save up a little extra for Golden Week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This list might be more valuable than ever. I've got the feeling that Sony itself wants to move to this type of sale scheduling, to keep vultures like me from waiting on the best sale. With fewer overall opportunities to purchase games at discounted prices, I am more likely to pull the trigger, instead of wondering if next week will see the game at an even cheaper mark. This won't stop the flow of developer sales (Ubisoft sale, Square sale, etc.), but I find that those sales kind of suck, anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_pigy Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Well I guess that explains why there hasn't been any worth while sales for the past little bit. The golden sale is coming up so I'm guessing they're holding off on doing sales till that happens Edited April 14, 2019 by silver_pigy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntroPhenom Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Any way to get this as a sticky to the forum, or something? The information would be most helpful at the top of the list, so to speak. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero_of_Time_507 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I know this thread's been inactive for a while, but is it just me, or is the Mid-Year sale just not happening this year? -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr_0zt Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 It's just trash sale week in/ out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visighost Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 I was expecting it last week... Maybe this Friday? At least the Retro sale today has some games we've never seen discounted before (but no Patapon Remastered or Binding of Isaac! Unacceptable!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
