Sony's digging out its DayGlo and going retro on the PlayStation Store this week, as a host of classic PlayStation 4 games have been discounted. Starting today in Europe, you'll be able to grab dozens of PS2 Classics like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and PaRappa the Rapper 2 at discounted price points, as well as several of Hamster's popular Arcade Archives releases.
But the retro sale is arguably best on the PlayStation 3, where PSone Classics like Crash Bandicoot, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Tombi can be purchased on the cheap. Other discounted games include SEGA favourites Super Hang-On, Daytona USA, and NiGHTS into Dreams, but there are literally dozens of other games deserving of your attention.
We should also point out that Street Fighter V will set you back just £19.99 for the next week or so, while an absolute ton of Call of Duty content is being cut in price by up to 50 per cent through until 7th September. There's literally too much for us to list here, so head over to the PlayStation Blog and explore the savings for yourself. Be sure to check back and tell us what you're buyin', though.

Bully and possibly Vice City could tempt me.
NFS Rivals is tempting me...
Argh, it's like they designed this sale to separate me from my savings. Dammit. Lots of very tempting deals here.
Haven't had a chance to go through the whole list, but most of the PS One classics are also discounted on PS Vita, so I'll definitely be checking that out. I've already got the Crash and Spyro trilogies on my Vita, but there are loads more retro titles tempting me: Tekken 2, Sega Megadrive Collection, Vib-ribbon, Ridge Racer, Gex...
PS4: Manhunt & Mega Man Legacy Collection
PS Vita: Lunar SSH, Downwell & Tomb Raider 1,2 and 3
Great timing really as Colin Moriarty had that Mega Man collection at #3 on his top 10 PS4 games list and I've never played a Mega Man game before. Also despite owning Tomb Raider 1 on the PS1 I believe as a dumb kid I was unable to finish it, so I'm happy to right that wrong on the vita with my now 20+ years of gaming experience.
Disappointing to not see Tactics Ogre, but I guess they have to save some things
@KratosMD its the directors cut tempted to buy them again myself lol
I hope this comes to the US. I could use some of those Arcade Archives. There like 8 bucks here and I don't wanna pay that much for games like Double Dragon and Rengadekid.
*retro sale is probably best on ps3/vita
Plan on getting a few of the psone classics to play on the go. I used to love gex enter the gecko, and might finally get around to symphony of the night. Was hoping psychonaughts would be included on ps4. Maybe next time
@Quintumply they are not on my vita on the store they do not have it.
@andrew20 Odd. They're all listed on the blog post. Maybe the Store hasn't updated yet? I'll have a look when I get home later.
@andrew20 The store hasn't been updated yet but the discounts apply nonetheless. I just searched for them manually.
Lots to check through when I get home but Gradius V is a must.
This always goes the same way, scroll through adding cheap bits to your basket until checkout and you see it ain't so cheap any more!
@Fight_Teza_Fight Oof, brave man to revisit Tomb Raider. Partly because it hasn't aged well, but more so because games were just harder back then. Have fun with those limited save points
Great sale. I have most of the games I want, may get one or two more.
For some reason the SF5 season pass has no discount.
@RawShark I can imagine. Think I was 7/8 at the time, so it'll be fun to get back to that.
@Quintumply I am in the US
Probably get pacman 256 at £2.49
Pang adventures for a fiver, yes please. Pacman 256 for two fifty, get in!
@Dan_ozzzy189 @Dan_ozzzy189 Pacman 256 is great. Limited but great for a quick game. The ongoing choice of chasing a 256 pacdot combo or going off track to pick up power ups is a great mechanic.
I just bought karate champ, absolutely brilliant game. I just caned the top score by punching opponents in the balls! That's ⬇ on the left stick and ⬆ on the right stick, clock the timing and boom 2 gold trophies if anyone's interested.
Could be interested by Nights Into Dreams at a cheap price.
Glorious sale, NA gamer here extremely jealous!
Those digital ports of Symphony of the Night are amazing. They've removed all the ridiculous loading times and kept what is an astonishing game, and one of the best ever made.
@themcnoisy might get karate champ, I loved it back in the day. Just wish they'd release bomb Jack over here!
