[EU] PSN Black Friday sale is live

Picked up Journey and Grim Fandango for a combined 13 euro. Feels pretty great, I've never played either.

No idea when I'm going to find the time to play all of these games, though.
 
For a PSN Black Friday sale, that is a fairly underwhelming selection unfortunately.

Eh, I dunno. There's really nothing there that makes me go "YES, I WANT THAT!" Might bite on Tales from the Borderlands, but what I played of the first episode almost sent me to sleep. Guess I should complete it and see where I stand from there. I also want to check out King's Quest, but that price drop is still too dang expensive.
 
I don't even own a Vita and I'm tempted to buy P4G in the off chance that I finally pick one up.

Thats what i did.

Borderlands gets really good imo, i just finished Episode 4 yesterday and thought it was fantastic. Couldn't stop laughing at one scene.
And don't get Kings Quest lol, the first Episode is free on Plus next month, give it a try that way to see if it's for you.
 
Still can't buy anything on the store! Anyone else still having this issue?

Grim Fandango is available for under £5? I'll get that. I said earlier there was nothing for me, but when i scrolled through the PSN list this didn't appear, and it's not on the blog either. Any other games that have been discounted but don't appear in the Black Friday PSN section or on the PS Blog?

I literally just bought Grim Fandango from the UK website? Where are you accessing the store from?

Grim Fandango is part of another sale (Digital Discounts) which ends on 3rd December.

I don't currently have PS+ right now, so that's out of the question.

PC, in England. I get that Japanese error whenever I get to the checkout. Now I am getting:


Site Not Available


PlayStation®Store is currently not available. You can learn about Sony Entertainment Network content and services at Sony Entertainment Network.

When trying to get to the Store front.
 
Yeah, I'll go out and buy a card to get Steins Gate.

Btw, about Yakuza 4... I never played a Yakuza game, is it a good starting point?

I think it's a great starting point. Better than 3, which is a natural (if a bit unneeded) sequel to the first 2.

4 is better and a great entry point, I'd argue you could play it without even watching the recap movies.
 
Anyone know if the EU sale will be getting any different titles over the coming days?

Wondering whether to pull the trigger on The Order for $10, or wait and see if it appears on EU store for a tenner.
 
Is this the first time the PS4 version has been discounted? I've been waiting for a significant discount.

That I do not know.

I have the Vita version and there's no way I paid full price for that. So... maybe not first time on sale? You're getting a lot of game for £20, regardless. I'd go for it if you've been waiting on it for a long time.
 
On my phone, I can access the store to add funds via CC, but it won't accept my card anymore (that annoying bug). I'll delete and try again.

Oh cool. Must have missed that one

I think all versions of FF X/X-2 HD Remaster. Maybe.

PS4 version was £39.99. Now £20.00.

This is hilarious. A year and a half after I bought the PS3 version on PSN at launch, it's barely any cheaper on PS4 during a "sale". Ahahaha

No idea. Try a different browser maybe? Or off your phone via the App?

I have the Vita version as well. I bought it last time it was on sale. From impressions, the PS4 version is well worth the price, with the original soundtrack alone.
 
Is tropical any good? I tried the demo but obviously you can't invest much time into to judge properly

I've played 3 & 4 on PC and can safely say they are great games. The demo is very limiting on what you can and can't do. I would strongly recommend it if you seen some enjoyment out of the demo, especially for that price
 
Woah, I have a secret GAF twin? Cus these are the ones I was looking at...

Clearly we have a shared refined taste.

Easy there tiger, 64 GB won't be enough for all the Digital goodness you want on your OLED.

I should know I've deleted dozens of games from my Vita over the past 2 years to make space for other games =_=

Ugh, how bothersome. Like, I am no terribly bothered by moving games I'm not playing to my computer via CMA, but it sure would be nice to be able to hold them all.
 
Goddamn you Sony webstore let me buy things :( Keep getting the 'Sorry an error has occured' BS
I've been getting this type of error almost every time I tried to buy something from web store for last couple of months.
And it will keep saying that until the next day (at least for me, because it usually goes away after midnight).
No such problem when you buy stuff from console itself.
 
Is Helldivers: Super Earth Ultimate edition worth it for €15? What's the DLC like, is it substantial?

Yes, it is. It does not include DLC released after that edition is out, but it's still quite a ton of weapons, gadgets (including vehicles and mecha IIRC) perks and outfits.

I'm considering Curry God and Atelier Totori myself. Opinions? Never played an Atelier game, should I get Totori or wait for a discount for any of the others?

Kinda annoying when you don't have the console to buy the stuff though. I tried checking if I could buy the Vita games from my PS4 but doesn't work, it only shows cross platform stuff.
 
I genuinely can't decide between Witcher 3 or BlackOps3. Never played a Witcher game and I used to be hooked on COD up until MW3. Is the multiplayer still fairly active or did it drop off people's interest?

You should give the Witcher a try. If you're in the UK you'll be able to get a refund within a week or two under new legislation if you don't like it.

The only caveat is that The Witcher 3 needs a good few hours' session to begin with. Put aside 3-4 hours for your first go. It's a beautiful, massive, important game. Imagine a Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings but you are this one badass loner monster hunter roaming Westeros/Middle Earth doing his own thing, fuck everyone else. It is fucking great. (The world/story is nothing like LotR though, much more grounded, intense and badass.)

BLOPS3 is probably great fun, and I think the multiplayer is very active. If you're talking about MW3, I don't know - but probably.

I deleted my card and it won't let me add funds via PayPal. What a joke.

You getting the PSN Error that doesn't let you buy shit?

Get a PSN wallet code from Amazon or CDKeys.com. Just as fast.

PSN will take up to a week to fix this issue for you, and in that time you need to not touch the Account Management systems at all.

Edit: looks like this isn't your issue, sorry, ignore me.

Yeah I can't buy shit on the store, it's annoying. Thanks for the tip!
