The Playstation flash sales are digital gaming done right.

I don't consider that sort of thing a problem though. I mean if you found something you really liked during the 5-10 minutes or if you heard something that got you hyped on the game you'd stick with it, right? So it's more about being able to sample a wide variety of games rather than the percentage of games you complete.

Yeah it's cool, I hope that devs are getting some bank out of it.

Felt the same exact way, still remains at 0%. I'll tackle it another day, another time.
..another life.
It is what finally made me actually buy some digital console games. Took them long enough though.
well. majority of steam users don't agree with this statement. just look at steam top sellers, full price titles are often in steam top sellers.
I personally buy most games i want to play at full price on Steam
My problem with the flash sales is this: some of the games are terrible so it's natural that they are on sale in that method.
Still, I don't complain about it -- I ended up getting most of the games that were on sale in the last flash sale. Why? Because in all likelihood I don't foresee them going on sale again.

Whatever you say Bob.
None of what you stated shows that they don't "deserve" their success with the PS4.
Lol as if success is deserved rather than earned.
Consumers don't have some hidden agenda, they buy what they think is the best product for their money.
Random Weekends on PSN. PS4 flash sales have been ok, but the PS3 flash sales can be absurd sometimes.
Outside of the occasional nintendo game, games hold very little monetary value.
Just remember that it wasn't that long ago that console games made almost all of their sales in the first few weeks and then that was it. And that was dealing with the cost of physical media. I think it's great that devs/pubs now have a chance to put a game on DD sale 6 months after it releases to make some extra cash. Plus you have new people too sell DLC to, which is great because some of that DLC may have come out after some people stopped playing the game.
As someone who tracks videogames deals like its my job, I promise you that all these games will be on sale again before you have even played/beaten them. It's just a nature of the beast, when you think you have found the best deal ever a better deal comes along.
Sure, but this don't really oppose the fact that most games are devalued after their first week/month on the market.

I think they should put old PS1 and PSP games on sale more often. A lot of them can't be moving many units normally so they might as well.

Nintendo should take note.
