If you want a proper breakdown of what's available and if the prices are at historic lows, check out the link.

@riceNpea nice. I use Dekudeals. I guess its something similar.

Still no good deal on Dead Space. Sad. They only ever give a discount on the deluxe edition where you still end up paying the full price of the regular version.

Diablo 2 for me. Believe it or not i've never played this gem.

Also, I hate browsing through the sale page. 75% are DLC addons for 0.99c. I had to scroll through so many of them before I reached some proper games again. They should really create a separate tab for it.

@VideoGameBoy what about yellow snow, should I eat it? And please tell me, do cat eggs taste as chocolatey as they look?

@Jamesblob
Good tip, thanks!

For the most part it’s the same old sales to same old level. More of a marketing trick really: keep prices high so you can reduce them to the amount you are willing to take whilst making people think they are getting a deal. Prices never drop below this same level no matter if the game is 10 or 15 years old or more. Meanwhile you can pick those same games up for pennies physically any day of the week.

@VideoGameBoy if you don't understand perhaps you need the sunshine more than I do 😆👍

@Loamy awful. Cat eggs back in the 70s and 80s were so much better than now, a real delicacy.

Thousands of items is good until you realise that a lot of them are just filler. If we're being honest here, these sales usually have between 20 and 30 games actually worth checking out.

@riceNpea They stopped putting that frosting on them.

@Yinx I have noticed this a lot with recent sales across platforms. Big name games get discounts but only on the deluxe or gold or platinum or whatever editions which are just as expensive as the base game.

@Jamesblob Yeah, if it wasn't for the filters I wouldn't even go near those sales

So first $60 games are now $70, first time it raised in price in 25-30 years (brand new NES titles were $60). Then Sony raises prices on online and plus without reason, by an additional $40 in some cases. Now you have a sale on the usual crap and it’s just business as usual?

In the US, the Fed raised interest rates so high that many of us are paying just interest on CC payments. Not even the balance, just interest. So, raising your prices in this market, very bad idea.

Haven’t seen a company this uncaring about its customers since Microsoft thought it could just buy loyalty.

Remnant 2 is on sale for the first time at 20%, and if you live in the UK that makes the Ultimate edition(which includes 3 upcoming dlc) pretty cheap at £43.99(the Ultimate edition was £55 to begin with despite it looking like it should have been £65 compared to other territories)

@riceNpea @Kidfunkadelic83

I use PSPrices.com. It's also similar. I like the price alerts.

@Bunchesopuppies
As someone who has worked as an analyst in the financial industry for many years, I can tell you revolving credit lines, like credit cards, are a trap. They are so much riskier for banks, so they tend to have astronomical interest rates and fees.

@VideoGameBoy But then I would have to talk to my wife.

Well I currently have all of the yakuza and judgement games (excluding 7 since I already have it) in my cart for 80 dollars. The lost judgement story expansion just went on sale today so with all of those games for ten bucks more than a new game I can’t say no.

I’ll probably wait for a Halloween or Black Friday sale.

Good time for me to get back into Horizon with Burning Shores!

@Yinx Agree 100%. I never bother to look beyond my wishlist at this point

@Yinx filter Full Game and Bundle only.

It is curious these huge deals comes everytime before payday.

Bloody hell.............would it kill them to put the COD season passes on sale? I've had the SP for Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare on my wishlist for what seems ike forever and they NEVER go on sale. I really don't want to pay $50 for each of them....

Sale doesnt show for me on the app.
But i see in my wishlist some new deals.

@DiggleDog While sensible, I am worried some peopley may have inflated expectations around the discounts for Halloween and Black Friday Sales.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I like a good deal as much as the next person but if I remember correctly from the past two years, the discounts during end-of-year sales were not as big as they were hyped online, and plenty of people spent money not because of awesome deals because they wanted to spend money during those sales.

@Yinx filter by type. Bundles & Full Games. Can even specify PS5 or PS4

I use the PS4's Store application mainly - still about 1000x better than the web browser. PS5 isn't much better unless you know what you're looking for.

Injustice 2 for a fiver is an absolute joke. The best beat em up of the last gen and including this gen. I always found it weird why they never bothered to make MK look as good as they made this look.
