PS Store January Sale Refresh Adds More PS5, PS4 Discounts

If anyone is interested Returnal is £25.54 and £29.99 for Deluxe, Sackboy is £16.90 and Demon Souls £21.11 on the Turkish Store.

@Kidfried It's the only link I can really provide. Otherwise, the article would be like three times longer linking to every individual
European country's PS Store lol. It's just not worth doing that.

@lolwhatno yep. I'll be getting Returnal from there later. But it's slightly more complicated because you'll need a virtual visa card to use to pay with and to get one of those you'll have to apply to apps such as crypto.com or cryptopay.

Brazil also has a cheap store and it's easier to buy things from there because PSN Top-Ups are available to buy for that region.

@Bentleyma yes. It’s a poor state of affairs when that is the reduced price! Think I’ll hold off for another six months or so. And I’ve bought every Housemarque game since Stardust was released on the Amiga back in the nineties …

@LiamCroft it's probably possible to write some JavaScript to change it to a country specific to the reader, but really this is something PlayStation should be providing (possibly using someone's logged in Sony account to choose which store to show)

@Kidfried if you've never tried to make anything truly international, you'd be surprised at how much effort localisation takes to do correctly.

Sony used to have better sales than Microsoft or Nintendo. But then in the past year or two, the sales On PS Store are no longer as deep as they used to be.

Picked up Toem! Very twee. Very much enjoying it with my daughter.

Chernobylite was already cheap. Hoping for a PS5 upgrade soon. For me the game is too choppy in its current state.

@Daleaf I was the same with Far Cry, extremely disappointed in it. I’ve got Cyberpunk but I’m holding off for the PS5 release. I think I’m going to pick up Guardians myself at the end of the month as I’ve heard nothing but positive things

The reason’s sales are worse now is because it’s early gen sales as compared to late gen. It will take years before you can but everything at £10.

I've just bought Kena. Looking forward to getting stuck in.

@ApostateMage awesome game..enjoy

13 Sentinels is a fantastic game. Combat is light but fun. Characters and story are intricate and addicting. I always wanted to play one more chapter. The art is also gorgeous. Must buy if you’re into narrative games in my opinion

@Bentleyma talk with your dollars. Don't spend it, these sale prices are too high.

The one time Im looking forward to getting that Batman return to Arkham bundle for the $5 it usually goes for and it's not on sale lol. I know it does pretty often so I guess I just gotta be patient for now

I kinda want to pick up ScourgeBringer and Retromania Wrestling.

Spiritfarer is only £8.99 so I took the plunge finally and bought it. Look forward to checking it out soon 🙂

@Orange_Juice great value at that price - perfect time too, with the final piece of free dlc just recently added to it.

@LiamCroft Just have a third link to the Ireland store, prices in EUR, applies to all EUR countries - no need to link each individual country as its the same prices.

That's why I love physical copies. This corporate greed and "sales" are ridiculous. I got returnal a month ago for 10$.

@ApostateMage got a ps5 last week and ive also been playing Kena. Its a beutiful game and dont get fooled by the cute graphics as the combat can be brutal 😂

@Kidfunkadelic83 @Northern_munkey I've put a good few hours in now and I think it's a delightful game full of charm. It can be a bit tough, though. That Rot hammer move has helped me out a few times now in tight situations. I now also know how to pronounce Kena's name properly. Kay-na not Kenna.

@ApostateMage its is a delight to play and looks beutiful and vibrant. Loved the bit in the forest at night with the lightning 👌👌 Yes i also had to wait until her name was pronounced in game before i was saying it right. It was always Kenna or Keena 😂
Feel free to add me if you want. Gamer tag is in my profile 👍

@ApostateMage i loved every minute of it..

@Bentleyma Yeah and I used to buy a round of drinks in the pub and get change from a fiver. Why be annoyed? Make a value judgement based on what you want, and buy or don't buy.

I paid full price for that game and got every bit of my moneys worth, for me. I also like to support full games with no microtransactions by buying them at release. If Microsoft can release 1/3rd of Halo at full price and still micro transact the hell out of its multiplayer, then I'm ok with paying full price for a full title, especially as its actually a real next gen game.

I recognise that if I want proper next gen titles that dont nickel and dime me, then I'll need to pay for em, and fortunately for Sony's business model, I'm not alone and many will still pay for quality. Unfortunately, for those that need to wait for big discounts, we are still effectively in a launch window for these machines with so many people only just now getting it, so there's no big rush to discount titles that are likely to be popular regardless. Hopefully come summer you will see more effective sale prices for some of the bigger titles. Its well worth the wait! xD

I don’t get why Sony are continuing to gouge UK customers this gen. Taking the exchange rates into account £70 games are extremely expensive and the sales price is still more expensive than the US. I’ve gotten to the stage where I now by all my multiplats in the series X or on PC either Steam or Epic where it’s more affordable.

@Titntin I know...I don't get it either.

Gaming is not like food or household bills - it's a hobby, and not a particularly cheap one, but no-one is forcing anyone to buy anything. From the comments on here and similar articles, you'd almost not think that was the case.

Same with the weird hatred for digital, and those who buy it. Why get upset over something that doesn't affect your life at all??!! Plenty of us prefer digital, and are perfectly fine paying whatever we choose to pay in sales, with cheap credit, or at full price, but most of us don't rush to articles proclaiming how much we hate discs!

Very funny tbh, and in both haha and peculiar.

@redcorpuscle I hear you mate.
I was just 15 when space invaders machines heralded the dawn of computer games and I became hooked. Ever since then I swore I'd always want to keep all my old titles and was determined to keep all my old games.
With each successive generation though its been obvious I never play them. I want to play the new stuff not my older titles.
Finally, this gen, I took the step of staying digital only, and I'm delighted I have - apart from anything else I'm not destroying the planet by consuming resources to deliver a plastic download ticket to my shelf!

As for real history of gaming stuff, I have every single computer game ever made up till PS3 (I have access to all the PS4 stuff, but only collect generations once they are two gens old).
I can emulate most of these excellently, and often with improved texture processing and 4K output. I don't need no discs to properly preserve our gaming history!

I'm at a point where I just have to many games to play to bother buying anything new before it is like ~60% off or more. By then, the games would be in much better shape, too. I can and will wait until $70 games are $30 or less.
