It's great but I always worry that sales that are TOO frequent and where the prices go TOO low actually devalue the games.

It's a double-edged sword. My Playstation library is starting to look like my Steam library. Tons of games I've played for about 5-10 minutes each.
I feel the same way, picking up surgeon simulator for .91 was ridiculous
At least at the time, after "playing" it and its awful controls I now feel a little better
I'll echo a sentiment I heard on Giant Bomb: It's nice to see console digital marketplaces start to reach the level of Steam's sales in terms of pricing.
You don't realise that deep discounts make games disposable? Why pay 70$ cnd for GTA V when I know it will be 15$ or less come the winter sale? If I could resell it, sure, why not, but I can't. So bargain bin prices it is
On the other hand, I buy plenty of 40+$ console games (xbone/PS3/ps4/vita/3Ds/wii and so in) without batting an eye
Whatever you say Bob.Except they haven't been doing an exceptional job in general this gen. Only their marketing has been exceptional. Their first party lineup is incredibly weak, which is actually really surprising considering how fucking good the first party lineup on the Vita has been(when Sony were actually supporting it). PSN has been a joke which is made even worse by the fact PS Plus is required now. The console was missing basic features for a very long time, and hell it still is in some ways. The controller had major issues at launch. Their sales have been utter shite for Europe. The UI sucks.
The only PlayStation system this gen that deserved to outsell the competition 2 to 1 is Vita. Life isn't fair.
Where can I get me some of these flash sales?

Outside of the occasional nintendo game, games hold very little monetary value.
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.
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.
