SOLD! Costume Quest, and Deathspank Thongs of Virtue will be mine! I am so happy I waited! The funny thing is I will buy these but will be playing a lot of LBP 2! Great SALE, and selection of games. Well for me at least!

So will I be screwed as a PS+ user when I buy three or four of these, and they end up being free in a few months?

If you guys fix the PSN and allow me to buy games again, I might be able to buy some of these tomorrow. But I’m not so sure how that’s going to work out seeing as I haven’t been able to buy anything off the PS Store since I bought the Digitial version of Mass Effect 2 almost a week ago.

And yes, I’ve contacted my bank/Visa company and they told me my Visa should be working. The only good thing that came out of this is they updated my Home Phone number.

Will have to investigate Hoard and Tumble.

Has Hoard had a demo yet? Seems silly putting a game on sale for half price when you haven’t even tried to entice people to buy it with a demo. We loved Age of Booty and I heard this is similar but with a dragon. Also read bad stuff so we’ll see.

Does anybody know if Tumble gets more enjoyable? After a few tries the demo reminded me of Boom Blox 1 & 2 but with all the fun removed. Too much “Stacking”, not enough “Tumbling”. Maybe if it was called “Stack” I wouldn’t have expected tumbling. research, research

Shoot nothing I’m interested in, I guess I’m still going to wait it out for the 50% of sale on Castle Crashers & Scott Pilgrim. I was hoping that they would be in this sale, since they were on sale on XBLA a couple weeks ago but, it looks like it’s going to be awhile before we see those titles on sale. Also I know Scott Pilgrim is currently 50% off for Playstation + members but there just isn’t enough incentive for me to become a member.

The Wait Continues… :-(

Thanks for the sale… VERY frustrating since I just purchased Costume Quest on Saturday. Is it possible in the future to hear about sales a week or so ahead of time?

…I’ll still pick up some other of these great deals though.

Of course, one week after I buy 3D Rift…
Totally worth it, though.

I will probably pick up Shatter. Wanted to before, but it was kinda expensive at release. Another game I wish I was half-price is Top Gun!!

Will these sales be reflected on sites such as Amazon?

  If the Game is currently available on Amazon, the sale offer will also be made available…

Deathspank ToV (bought the first Deathspank when it was on sale)

Might get costume quest, but would have preferred Castle Crashers

Nice! Time to pick up Costume Quest… and maybe Hoard. I really wish there was a demo for that one.

I have all the games I want from this list! But, it’s really an awesome sale for those of you who want these games!

I’m saving my PSN money for Journey when it comes out! =)

(I have a bit of a wait… but it will be worth it!)

Sweet sale! I might pickup 1 or 2 of these games, a question though, will the Costume Quest DLC be on sale too? I already have the game, but not the DLC, id definitely get it if its on sale.

Hi Ro,

Does Konami plan to have a sale like they did on the European PSN? I have been looking forward to buying Rocket Knight for half price but I don’t see that game in the list. :(

January 24, 2011 at 5:06 pm PST

If anyone has Move, Swords & Soldiers is a pretty good one.

I’m interested in Hoard, but it still doesn’t quite fit into my budget even at 50% off. I hope PSN will someday be as competitive as Steam is with its sales.

Okay, first off, let me just say that this sale is awesome and I’m likely going to be spending a lot of money tomorrow.

I have a suggestion for you guys though. Every now and then (maybe twice a year?), you guys should have a sale like this but have it exclusive to PSN+ members. That would go a long way in proving its worth to people who have yet to subscribe and you’d probably get a ton of 3-month subscribers who are signing up just to take advantage of the sale. I’m already a happy PSN+ member, I just think that this idea would promote PSN+ very well and make existing PSN+ members extremely happy.

All right, now I’m mad. I just bought DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue last week. How about refunding me the difference? I will, however, be picking up Costume Quest and Hoard, so thank you for that.

Well that sucks. I just bought Shatter today. Boooo. Refund!!

i already own most of these games on my steam account because they had an x-mas sale which featured almost all these games. sorry, sony, but steam beat you to the punch. but A+ for effort! i think you should definitely do more sales however, because i’m always lookin for a deal!

If you don’t mind me saying so and this is my own opinion. If I was the company owner, I would make sure to have Preview Videos of each game (that we are advertising – on sale) so that the customer/consumer would be able to view what the game is like before purchasing/downloading. Sure the demos help but some (not all) of us customers don’t want to download the demos if we don’t have the ability to delete them (if we already have tons of paid for/demos already downloaded).

I just bought New Vegas, LittleBigPlanet 2, and AC: Brotherhood. Now I HAVE to buy some of these games.

Goodbye social life! (and homework respectively)

OH THANK GOD. I was thinking you were going to put Castle Crashers on sale just after I got it.

Think I’ll be scooping up Space Invaders and Costume Quest. Lots of the stuff I already have; these sales just push me to complete the collection.

Please put Soldner X-2: Final Prototype Complete Bundle on sale too (X-2 + DLC expansion).

Cool! I’ve been eyeing a few of the games here and I already own a few of them too! I’m afraid I can only afford to buy one game this time around though, :((was laid off a few days after christmas). I might have to go around San Francisco to go look for a job, hmm, I wonder if 1up, GamePro or Destructoid… or Sony is hiring!
