If this weekend is any indication of what this summer will be like in NC (115ish with heat index), then I guarantee there will be no "outside" for me.

Up to 50% off? The Steam Summer Sale laughs at this, as they reach the 80-90% off range.
I might take a look though at NBA Jam.

Is this only for PS+ members?

Killzone 3 multiplayer was already a great deal, hopefully this gets a lot more people playing for a while. I'm not too tempted by many of these, I might look at picking up Shadow of the Colossus. Hate to see them ignore Vita again, it's like a running joke.

@Splat It's 30% off for regular users, and 50% for PlayStation Plus.

Killzone and inFamous would be the games I'd get.

@Squiggle55 What games have even been out long enough to get a reasonable price drop? Most of these games have been out for a very long time. The Vita just came out less than 6 months ago...

I'm not asking for a permanent price drop, just a sale. It's not unreasonable to have some of those launch titles included in a summer sale. Look at the EU. Also, I see the fact that the Vita is 6 months old as reasoning FOR including it in promotions like this. It really is starting to be a little humorous. Because somewhere they are sitting in a room planning these events and promotions, and they seem to be going out of their way to ignore the Vita.

Killzone is a must for those who lack it.

I will definitely get Pac-Man...and possibly Closure. That said, I probably wouldn't if I didn't have PS+ (which has totally been worth it). 50% off is a much better deal than 30%. True, not as deeply discounted as Steam, but still pretty good.

According to this link: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/06/29/psn-summer-sale-starts-tuesday-bonus-discounts-for-plus-members/
Gotham City Imposters is also going on sale.
Hmm...I'm also tempted by inFAMOUS FOB.

Sorry, one more thing. It doesn't seem that Pac-Man is going to be included in this particular sale - maybe a subsequent one instead. See the official link I posted above, it's not on the list.
