Hmmm, this is actually quite an interesting promotion. Lasting until the 23rd December, Sony has introduced a 'buy one, get one free' deal to the European PlayStation Store that covers 47 different PlayStation 4 titles. Basically, if you snap two of the selected games up, you'll be able to acquire the cheapest for free.
Many of the included titles are going for £34.99, while others are sitting at £24.99. So, you could grab, say, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round for £32.99, and get The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (£24.99) absolutely free. If you've been eager to fill out your PS4's library, then it might be worth checking out what's on offer. You can peruse the full list of games through here.
See anything that takes your fancy? Tell us if you're snagging a game for free in the comments section below.

Damn and i have ran out of HDD space too and i can't upgrade it until next year as i don't have the funds to buy a new internal HDD at the moment (bloody christmas)
THIS IS WHY WE NEED EXTERNAL HDD SUPPORT!!!!!
So, where is Sony/Playstation HQ in the US? I always need to wait until noon when Reggie wakes up to hear any US Nintendo news. This is the 2nd EU sales article in a row.
I wonder if it's possible to fill up my PS4 Slim HDD before I even open the box between the website and my 5 disc games?
I think those B1G1 lists do a fairly good job of showing the difference between current PS+ on PS4 and old PS+ on PS3. Yes, there are a few good games on the PS4 list, Witcher 3 being a standout, but PS3 is better well rounded. Has PS4 been getting the Lego games? Even Wii U has Lego games constantly on sale for $12 or $13. I was going to pick up a couple but I have to make room.
Most of these games have been significantly cheaper in previous sales, I'd say don't bother...
@AyanamiReign Agreed plus you can buy most of those retail for far less.
Their 12 deals of Christmas looks a better prospect with the latest Tomb Raider only £21.99. A bargain price for that game.

@FullbringIchigo You can uninstall and reinstall games. You won't lose your save files, they're stored separately.
Yeah.. This deal really isn't as great as it might seem at first.
But I have been meaning to buy DoA5 at some point, so I guess I might as well do it now.
@Jake3103 i know but i still only have the 500gb HDD in my PS4 and the games i have installed are the one i play quite a lot and i don't want to be uninstalling and reinstalling games everyday
but i still think external HDD support is a better option than swapping the internal one because you would have virtually unlimited space as long as you have external HDD's of course plus both of the other systems have it, so it seems a bit strange a system like the PS4 wouldn't
i'm still going to be upgrading next year but it does mean i'm gonna miss this deal
@FullbringIchigo Can't you just add to the library instead of downloading the games that you buy? Like you would do with the PS+ games. Or as above, delete some old games and leave the saved data on there (although with Plus that gets backed up too).
@Neolit would be if you didn't notice a lot of the games prices have been bumped up.
Bit off a ripp off really
Great deals for those who don't the games.
Come on guys, really?! This so called "deal" is nothing but a slap in the face of loyal customers who immediately see prices have been bumped up substantially and/or have been way better in previous sales on their own, without the need to purchase another game as filler.
I like game related sites to have a positive stance on gaming in general and the occasional defending of a free PS+ game here and there is okay, but some critical thinking and actual journalism should still be the main goal.
Push Square has been unfairly criticized for being too cynical in the past, but Sony simply had it coming back in the day. Then after the first 2 years of the successful launch of the PS4 they found the sweetspot where criticism, jokes and sarcasm went hand in hand with a positive attitude and love for Sony... but lately Push Square seems more like one big advertisement for all things PlayStation to be quite honest; many things are praised into the heavens without a clear reason or any apparent critical thinking and even worse, PushSquare is doing more damage control than Sony itself lately when it comes to stuff like PS Pro, PS VR, sales and games.
This comment isn't just based on some articles I've read this week; this has been going on for quite some time now. I understand you should never bite the hand that feeds you and that PlayStation fans like a positive vibe, but the line between fan and fanboy is very thin apparently. I understand it's hard to strike the right balance, but I sure as heck liked PS's content better when it didn't feel like I was at my local car dealership.
@Neolit @es_lion I've not had that problem. I've been deleting games and reinstalling them later on my PS4 for the last two years, and I've never lost a save file. That said, making a copy on the cloud, as @Neolit says, is definitely a good idea.
@FullbringIchigo Also, I agree, they really should give us support for external HDD. It would solve a lot of issues.
@Anguspuss how so? Did you mean "Bumped up" compared to recent sales prices or to regular prices before any Black Friday sales etc.? Most of these have been reduced prices for ages. In every month sales
sleeping dogs, Dishonored,tomb raider all been under £10 (i bought them)
omega quintet & the witch & a 100 knight even released werent £35 & have both been on sale at under £9. The retail price of these in uk at release want £35. Not even close.
Amazon,Game etc etc are all guilty of doing this as well. But I wouldnt recommend anyone to get anything in that deal if you are in UK.
@Boerewors I don't think this is overly enthusiastic or anything - I always just try to tell it like it is with news articles. Thanks for the feedback either way, though.

My point exactly
Would also point out I only own one physical game for my ps4 (skylanders) everything else same as my pc,xbox 1 is digital
Yeah.. this "deal" is a load of rubbish, essentially. "Bump up the prices and stick a 'now 50% off' sticker on".
Offers/insults like this are exactly why I hope consoles don't go 100% digital for a long time to come.
That "DEAL" tag isn't fooling anyone!!! Crazy "new" sky high prices .... I'll pass and enjoy the games I practically stole from their very reasonable PS StoreFlash Sale!!
Rubbish sale! And as others have said already above, these games have been much cheaper other times.
I don't play my PC much bug the price difference on digital games compared to ps4 is CRAZY. I'll stick with physical games for the time being. Can always be bought cheaper.
I guess it's for new people to the ps store over Xmas, make a quick buck in new system digital game sales.
Was initially excited for this offer but for most of those games it should be buy one game get 2 more free. Broken Swords I picked up for $5 canadian dollars so thats about £3. Bot really any good offers there better waiting till the Christmas/New Year Sales
@Boerewors Seriously what damage control have Sony really needed to do with regards to Pro and VR when both systems have been doing well? For me Push Square have done a good job of balancing news stories with well thought-out opinion pieces, unfortunately some think it's cool at the moment to stick the boot into Sony for whatever reason and the staff here have only really done it when there's merit in it. When Sony make decisions that some people don't like it's important to understand the bigger picture and tbh Push Square do that far better then anywhere else.
@adf86
The Pro is kind of a mixed bag as of now, and even before these problems arose there were lots of questions left unanswered. PushSquare somehow seemed to look at these questions people were having as ungrounded attacks and decided to strike back with articles where these people were literally told to just st*u. And although I enjoyed the extensive VR coverage, there wasn't made a real effort to address some valid concerns about Sony's dedication to the hardware for example. Because of Sony's half-hearted attempt to hype/ market/ explain it, which could also be said about the Pro btw, the prognosed sales numbers for 2016 were lowered by quite some units by analysts today and I feel this should've been discussed more thoroughly here.
And don't get me wrong: I myself like my Pro and the PSVR is easily my best piece of hardware since the PS3, but PushSquare's coverage of these things -and many more- has gone from 'critical' to 'advertisement' the last few months.
That's a poor list lol, none of those game's are worth more than £20, Styx £25 you are having a laugh. There's no bargain's to be seen here folk's.
