Mock and Lock if old.

Official blog entry

Basically there'll be a discount on a game for 48 hours. Last year, Far Cry 3 was being sold for 30 Pounds with a small extra discount for Plus members.

As always don't get your hopes up on anything amazing, but MAYBE OP Musou 2 has a chance of being a deal.

I'll update this first post by mid-day at the earliest due to work and other stuff.

Offer #3
These offers expires on 07 December 11:59 AM GMT

F1 2013 (PS3)

Additional 10% discount for PS Plus members

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (PS Vita)

I recall these offers being awful last year. I won't be holding my breath.

What? The deals today are awful, especially the Vita ones.

The PS+ games are good, however, which would be the logical comparison to the Games with Gold.

Not all were awful. I got Far Cry 3 for 50% off only a few weeks after it was released.

I see in the blog post that this year it's actually 12 PS3 deals and 12 Vita deals. Nice.

That's the EU store in a nutshell - great PS+ selection, rubbish deals.

Hasney · (11-29-2013, 03:21 PM)

Since I've had a Vita for a week, my list is quite large of hopefuls. I think these are the most realistic hopes for me:

Spelunky
Everbody's Golf
DOA5+
MGS Peace Walker
Wipeout 2048
Touch My Katamari
Persona 4 Golden (Will also accept discounts on Persona 1 and 2 as I've not played them)
MLB: The Show

Surely one of them will come through. SURELY.

Atolm · (11-29-2013, 03:24 PM)

Waiting for a nice PS Plus deal...

Danneee · (11-29-2013, 03:26 PM)

According to the blog post, it's 1 PS3 game and 1 Vita game every 48 hours - i.e. 24 games in total.

You will be. Sony don't seem to particularly care about putting Vita content on sale. We might get the occasional game or DLC reduction, but it's mostly games everyone already has or ones that Sony have given away free (or are about to) on Plus.

Come on Sony, let's see a proper Vita sale this year...Make me want to rush out and buy another 32gb card. Come on, you know you want to....

SxP · (11-29-2013, 03:50 PM)

These sales have been godawful the last two years so I'm not holding my breath.

Triggerhappytel · (11-29-2013, 03:59 PM)

On Vita I'm hoping for:

Soul Sacrifice
Persona 4 Golden
Dragon's Crown
Murumasa Rebirth
Rayman Legends
The Walking Dead
Batman Blackgate

On PS3 I'd like:

GTAV
Assassin's Creed IV
The Wolf Among Us

Uh, I think that's about it. Surely there'll be sales on a few of those.

boingball · (11-29-2013, 09:16 PM)

Would be nice to see some Vita discounts. Though probability of this happening is near zero.

They'll have 12 Vita discounts.

Shtof · (11-29-2013, 10:34 PM)

Hoping for an early discount on KZSF.

pukko · (11-29-2013, 11:32 PM)

Is there any hope for a 1 year PS+ deal? There does not seem to be any other christmas deals on PS+ subscriptions in EU, or?
I could actually use 1 year of Music unlimited as well if the price is right (low)

The ad said blockbuster games, so I guess it'll be only games (except the first day might have a ps+ deal like last year).

I'm guessing Last of Us as deal 2 or 12 for PS3 at €24.99

Tizoc · (12-01-2013, 07:31 AM)

I'll update the first post once the first deal(s) are up. In the meantime, could someone log into the Store via the PS3 and see if they added a section fort he Christmas deals? Last year we were able to guess some through their sillhouttes.

Danneee · (12-01-2013, 08:47 AM)

Oh well, maybe there will be a good deal on BF4 or NFS.

LiquidSolid · (12-01-2013, 08:55 AM)

The only thing I remember from last years deals is being annoyed that the Vita was completely ignored, especially when NFS Most Wanted went on sale.

Oh and also a crazy person on GAF trying to claim that the Unfinished Swan/Journey bundle sale meant that Unfinished Swan itself was on sale, even though the bundle price was the exact same as the individual price. That was a super dumb argument and that person should be embarrassed.

It's not true what he said. There'll be 12 Vita deals along with the 12 PS3 deals.

FDC1 · (12-01-2013, 12:30 PM)

1st offer mentionned on the French blog:

34,99 euros au lieu de 69,99 euros

FIFA 14 (PS Vita)

The Vita version is just the last year's game with an updated roster. Don't buy it if you already have the previous installment.

I'm hoping for PSN+ 1 year discount. Or even a good Music Unlimited discount.

Ugh. Let's hope they're not starting as they mean to go on.

Edit - on the other hand, there's an amazing 'weekend sale' on at the moment. Loads of good prices like Call of Juarez Gunslinger, Aliens Colonial Marines, Terraria and Flashback for under £4. All with an extra Plus discount on top of that. Well worth checking out.

Tizoc · (12-01-2013, 12:40 PM)

Feel free to rant about FIFA 14 Vita in the EU Blogs guys.

Should have been 75% and then maybe it could be considered worthwille deal.
