Annoying that they have this discount only a few weeks after the 12 days of Christmas 3 month sub discounts.

It stacks, so not annoying.
Quite handy actually.
Have about 9 months left and in a day or two, I'll have 21 months.

Not the best of deals since you can get it from Amazon or Steam for 50c cheaper lol. But good compared to regular price of new releases on PSN

CastorTroy

Far Cry 3 is next so will see what kind of discount we get there

Aye but the Amazon price refers to the PS3 version. Stream version's on offer from 50 too anyway

That argument doesn't really stand up! one of the perks of PC gaming is you can get much cheaper deals on a game compared to the console equivalent, and much better than 5Oc. All in all that deal for Hitman is pretty good. On a side note, if the world does end tomorrow ( today actually ) I think the best non living thing I'd miss most would be Playstation Plus LOL... if there is a Heaven and I can still think LIKE

Yeah but i bought 9 months for 30euro at the start of December and now for a fiver extra I could have gotten 12
Don't have the money to buy an extra 35 euros worth.

Hitman's not a great deal really.
It's €25.79 on Zavvi delivered and then you can sell it on if you like.

(It's £19.99 on Amazon so about the same but you don't get free delivery until you spend £25. )

CastorTroy

i suppose Hitman's a decent price if you like to have your games digitally and don't have a good enough PC.

Absolutely, and if Far Cry 3 is that price or cheaper I might get it because it's still about €28 on amazon and that's the cheapest I've seen it.

Hopefully with it being the last deal it'll be about €20 :rolleyes:

"Merry Christmas! Far Cry 3 is free to PS Plus subscribers" and then the world ends.

For anybody waiting on Knytt Underground, I downloaded it on the "new this week" section as it's not up on Playstation Plus yet.

tonydude

Vitas plus games are up now, lego batman was free for a short while, its meant to replace mortal kombat in germany, a mistake must have been made, its back to full price now again

Klair88

Its a shame the Oddworld games are not Cross buy. Would buy both if that were the case, only "thinking" of buying them now.

Are they worth getting? They are HD remakes of original xbox games i hear.

CastorTroy

Far Cry 3 €34.99. Doesn't look like there's a Plus discount.

So out of the sale, only bought the Journey/Swan bundle

The UK and Ireland get a 6.4GB file that's includes some extra DLC but the rest of the EU get's 6.3GB and no DLC.

When do the current instant game collection deals run out? i.e. when are they going to change the games, is it every 4 weeks or by the calendar month?
