  • Kinda surprised Infamous isn’t on there. Either way there is one game on the list that I don’t have that I want.

  • Awesome ! i ll take Payday Street fighter and Mortal Kombat :D Thx Sony

  • is there anything for playsation move?

  • Dungeon Defenders can be played with Move but I wouldn’t recommend it.

  • Maaan, everything i wanted from that list i already have. In any case, everyone who hasn’t buy Pixeljunk Sidescroller should buy it in this sale, a great game.

  • This can’t be a serious post…

    I waited weeks and passed up on some great sales on games I want because you didn’t want to tell us what the 12 for 12 deals would be ahead of time for some reason.

    I would have spent 50-100 in the last few weeks if I knew this week’s sale would be so bad. Now I can’t get those games and you don’t get my money.

    Please, please, please start giving us actual information about special sales ahead of time. It’s bad enough we don’t know what the PSN store update will contain until the it’s released, special sales should defintaely give us a week or two of notice on what game will be on sale so we can prepare properly.

    It’s already a pain that I have to wait until tuesday night, often very late, to find out if I need to go buy a PSN card, since half the time the stores are closed when the update is out (EST).

    Please start giving out information on sales and store updates in advance or I have very little reason to renew my PS Plus.

  • Sadly, none of these games interest me.

  • Wow, great sale guys (especially for PS+ members). Keep up the great sales and I’ll keep buying PSN content!

  • When are we going to get Codename: 47 on the network??

  • PAYDAY: The Heist – PS Plus $9.79
    BloodRayne: Betrayal – PS Plus $7.34
    Eufloria – PS Plus $4.89
    Cubixx HD – PS Plus $4.89
    Rochard – PS Plus $4.89
    PixelJunk SideScroller – PS Plus $4.89

    So here are the 6 I don’t already own.
    Which ones should I get to use up my $20 PSN card?
    I got one for Christmas, and I’ve been saving it for this event.

    I tried Eufloria and wasn’t all that impressed, but I could have given it a longer test run.

    I was thinking I should do all the $4.89 ones.
    Is Payday an awesome game, or is BloodRayne amazing?

    I have to say out the six I own I couldn’t be happier.

    Dungeon Defenders – PS Plus $7.34
    9.5/10 at this price!

    Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection – PS Plus $4.89
    10/10 at this price!

    Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition –PS Plus $7.34
    9.5/10 at this price!

    Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken – PS Plus $5.87
    9/10 at this price!

    Sideway New York – PS Plus $4.89
    8/10 at this price ! (Not my favorite game)

    Okabu – PS Plus $7.34
    9/10 if you are under the age of 7 years old!
    Or 3/10 if your older like myself.

  • Hey Ro
    This list looks awesome.
    Any chance that Modnation Racer track pack DLC will ever make a sale list?

  • @ boomstickbhg

    I agree this sale is bad, but on the subject of PSN cards, I buy mine digitally from gamestop.com (since amazon stopped selling them). It takes about an hour for them to be processed and delivered.

  • Okabu and Rocketbirds have platinums for our trophy lovers out there

  • Awesome stuff, nice to see the games that were highlighted in the Only on PSN promotion. I’ll probably be picking up Pixeljunk Sidescroller and Sideway: New York.

    Also, not that I’m complaining, but can someone explain to me why the PS+ prices are always more than 50% off? Shouldn’t a $9.99 game be $4.99 instead of $4.89? Every sale where PS+ members get extra discounts have been like this. Hey, we’re saving more money, but it’s strange how the numbers are off.

  • Pretty weak sale, it should have been 50% off for everyone like Xbox Live does for their holidays sales.

  • Xbox Live charges $50 bucks to use it so it’s the same as PSN+

  • @sefjwm PS+ also gives discounts and allows users to download and play games as opposed to XBLA

    The sale is quite disappointing to me as I am not really interested in any of the titles listed.Thanks for saving me some money Sony.

  • Thanks for providing a link to the “11 for 2011” post. :) I urge everybody to take a look back at it. That was the last themed PSN sale where *everybody* got the full 50% discount. Remember those good old days? Never forget.

    This years batch doesn’t interest me, not when they came out and not now. 2011 was a weak year for PSN in comparison to 2010, at least in my opinion. Better luck this year!

  • Already have Payday & Rocket Birds.. Only good ones out of the list.

  • Forgot about Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection

  • @boomstickbhg Like RidleysBox said about GameStop . . . Best Buy offers the same thing and you can even use a PayPal account if don’t have/don’t want to use a credit card but DO have a checking account. And the best part is they don’t store the payment account (you have to login to PayPal to confirm every time) so neither Best Buy or PSN have your info.

    And yeah, only two games on this list interest me, one of which I already got for PC for $1.

  • Definitely buying Pixel Junk Side Scroller.

  • Damn I just bought Payday 2 days ago. Oh well.

  • Getting Rocketbirds and Okabu for $12, great games even though I own a few of them like SF3 Third Strike, MK Kollection and Rochard.

  • Great sale for people who don’t own these already. I purchased some of these for 50% already. I may pick up Dungeon Defenders since I already have the rest except for MK which I could care less about. Hopefully there’s some other sales tomorrow.

  • Why? I’m really sad, I expected better games.
    Like red dead, infamous, gow, not worth anything offered

    I only see games for kids

  • I (+Millions of people) want MGS HD COLLECTION these are not even games…what the discount for?no offense but i wouldnt buy any of these even if there is a %99 discount… FGS please UPLOAD MGS HD COLECTION make a contract with kojima but pls find a way…

  • Sweet one some of those games.

  • the 12 for ‘12 sale should of been like this.
    inFamous: Festival of Blood
    PAYDAY: The Heist
    Marvel Pinball
    The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition
    Earthworm Jim HD
    Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1-5
    NFL Blitz
    Beyond Good & Evil HD
    NBA Jam: On Fire Edition
    Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime
    Jurassic Park: Episode 1-5
    Bejeweled 3

  • “Sale” ???

    Ugh…

  • I’m sadly disappointed to see that Resident Evil 4 and infamous: festival of blood not in the 12 for ’12 sale.

    I have no interest whatsoever for this sale and believe that you guys should ask the community what it wants. Highest rated of 2011? Most of these titles I cannot recall.

  • Rochard, Mortal Kombat Kollection, Eufloria, and Dungeon Defenders will be getting my purchase. Hey Playstation when will you sell time? I need that to play all these amazing games. I’m still playing White Knight Chronicles 2, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, GT5, inFamous 1-2, Dead Nation, the list just goes on. Killin it Playstation. Just amazing.

  • Thats great. I’ll defiently be getting Cubixx HD, Rochard and Blood Rayne Betrayal.

  • I was hoping for Under Siege as it looks interesting (I’m a big Myth II fan) and it doesn’t have a demo……

  • Yeah this isn’t as good as I was hoping. Too bad Beyond Good & Evil and Infamous weren’t on this. I doubt I will get anything but I hope others will be happy with the selection.

  • @RidleysBox thank you for the heads up, I didn’t realize that the PSN cards could be delivered online like that. Definately going to check out the gamestop website next time (I do have a CC but the PSN never recognizes/allows it ).

    @oycomics thanks for the info about Best Buy and paypal being an option, I do prefer paypal, shame we can’t use that directly for the PSN.

    On the brighter side, with all the upcoming first quarter retail games I’m planning to pick up (mostly the RPGs), now I’ll have more money for them.

  • Payday the heist here I come!

  • i was waiting to see the details of this sale. I really wanted to Infamous: FoB in the list.

  • Sweet, I’ll have to pick up Sideway Newyork.

  • Title selection has definitely improved! Gonna pick up MK and Payday

  • Awesome. Was just thinkin’ about getting Dungeon Defenders here the other day, too.

  • I’m in for Rochard. I’ve been waiting for it to go on sale and even passed it up during the steam sale hoping it would go on sale on PSN.

  • 12 for 12′ have some good titles… I’m going to buy 2 or 3 at least…
    but how come they missed:

    1 Trine 2
    2 Renegade Ops
    3 inFamous: Festival of Blood

    Trine is one of my favorites psn games…

  • Awesome to see that Sideway New York is in there as I really want to get that game but first thing I want to know is that I remember hearing of a saving problem with the game last year so has that been fixed or not as I would like to know before buying.

  • I’ll most likely pick up Sideway as I’ve had my eye on the game since it was first announced, but my backlog was so large it was worth waiting to see if it would go on sale. I’m still on the fence about Obaku.. I like the Katamari-esque art direction but I’m not sure if its my kind of game, but I’m not sure if that’s enough to warrant the purchase. Now would be a great time to be a PS+ member, but man’s got to eat! Nice one Sony, it would be nice to see older PSN exclusives get permanent cuts… I still haven’t picked up flower yet.

  • OKABU! I already have some of them the only one that I need is OKABU!

  • you guys finally broke me. Im getting PS+.

  • NUMBER ONE REASON I NO LONGER BUY HARDLY A DAMN THING ON PSN:

    YOUR SALES BLOW.

    YOUR PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS.

    STEAM HAS TAUGHT US DIFFERENT AND DEVELOPERS ACTUALLY SELL GAMES THERE.

    PSN PLUS, NEGATING ALL DECENT SALES FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT IT, HAS MADE MY BUYING HABITS COME DOWN FROM ONCE A MONTH OR MORE TO ONCE EVERY 6 MONTHS/

    WHY? BECAUSE YOU NEVER REDUCE THE PRICES ON YOUR GAMES ANYMORE WORTH ANY CONSIDERATION.

    I CANNOT EVEN RELATE THE JOY I HAVE FROM ACTUALLY BUYING GAMES ON STEAM THAT LOOK 10X BETTER THAN THEIR PS3 COUNTERPARTS AND FOR 20% OF THE PRICE. EVEN AMAZON HAS MUCH MUCH BETTER PRICES ON THE HOLIDAYS. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR STARVING DEVS.

    SORRY, NOT PAYING 10 BUCKS OR EVEN 7 BUCKS FOR 5 DOLLAR GAMES AT BEST.

    GLAD I HAVE BEAST PC.

  • I expected more. =(
