If the relentless rain outside is getting you down, then you might be tempted by a trip to warmer climes this winter. Thankfully, Ubisoft has added Far Cry 3 to Sony's ongoing European Christmas countdown, allowing you to snap up the tropical adventure for just £24.99/€34.99. The title’s currently cheaper in retail outlets – but that price still represents a huge saving over the digital release’s usual cost of £59.99/€69.99. It also denotes the last of the platform holder’s festive offers.
The saving’s set to expire at 23:59PM GMT on 24th December, after which it’s back to standard pricing. Well, until the Boxing Day sales start on Wednesday anyway.

"the title’s currently cheaper in retail outlets" - enough said.
Killer game though!
@Ginkgo To be fair, it's only just cheaper in shops. £22.49 compared to £24.99 isn't a huge amount. These have been really good discounts this year!
@get2sammyb Understand, but why would anyone pay more for a download.
Even if the price was equal I would buy the physical copy, because it is safer in case of a HDD crash etc. Physical copies include the costs of printing the disk, box/cover, transport, import duties and retail markup. Downloads have none of these costs. They should be cheaper.
@Ginkgo Well, they do incur bandwidth costs — but I totally see what you're saying.
