<p>I hope you enjoyed your first week of deals on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a> games for our <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/holiday-essentials/">Holiday Essentials</a> Sale. As I mentioned in <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/12/17/holiday-essentials-huge-discounts-on-40-must-have-games/">our previous post</a>, we’re bringing you some of the best PlayStation games at great prices to help you stock up for the holidays.</p>
<p>This week we’re providing you with 16 awesome action/adventure games along with other essential PlayStation titles. For great prices you can take part in <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/starhawk/">Starhawk</a>&#8216;s frenetic space combat and multiplayer battles, relive two of Kojima&#8217;s most acclaimed titles in the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/metal-gear-solid/">Metal Gear Solid</a> HD Collection, or bend your mind with the award-winning <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/journey/">Journey</a>. In addition, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-plus/">PlayStation Plus</a> delivers an extra special deal this week – we’re offering members <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/retro-city-rampage/">Retro City Rampage</a> for absolutely nothing.  Moreover, Retro City Rampage features Cross-Buy, which means that when you purchase either the PS Vita or PS3 version, you get the other version at no additional cost!</p>
<p>As a reminder, you can save 30%—or up to 50% for PlayStation Plus members—on the action-packed lineup this week. On top of the titles below, we’ll have a whole new set next week to close out the sale and ring in the New Year.
