Surprise! NA PS Store Flash Sale Swipes Prices for the Weekend

And offers in Europe, too

by Sammy Barker Sat 19th May 2018

Mirror's Edge Catalyst PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Sony’s slashed the prices of a selection of PlayStation Store favourites by up to 75 per cent in North America, with Far Cry Primal ($21.99), Jak & Daxter Bundle ($14.99), and Mirror’s Edge Catalyst ($4.99) among some of the highlights. A lot of these games have been on sale before, but you can’t really go wrong with stuff like Nex Machina ($5.99) and Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition ($8.99).

PlayStation 3 games and a handful of PS Vita titles are discounted as well, so have a browse before the offers end at 8AM PT on 21st May. The platform holder’s running a similar set of weekend offers in Europe, although the deals aren’t nearly as good. You can find out more about that through here, with the likes of Horizon: Zero Dawn part of the lineup.

@dark_knightmare2 Nice pull! I love Homefront the Revolution (for what it is), and just got Agents of Mayhem myself (last week for $40 SMH). Yeah, these last few months have proven one thing to me...NEVER buy a game that's not on sale, just wait a month or two and get 50-80% off!

I've been buying too much stuff recently, so I just went with The Jackbox Party Pack 2 lol (these games are great for gettogethers). Very tempted to get ALL of the Resident Evil ports too, but...those are always on sale.

They've waggled Titanfall 2 in my face long enough, let's see what this is about then.

@fontainelefunk The SP campaign is amazing, imo. Many considered short, but really intense.

So many games to add to my backlog. These Sony sales are amazing. Nintendo can learn a thing or two from stuff like this. One thing that really annoyed me is that Nintendo NEVER had sales like these.

Let my Xbox Live Gold subscription lapse a while ago so I'm not sure what kind of deals MS has had lately but last time I checked they had some bargains. Sony has been doing a great job with PS Plus discounts for a long time now, I've scored a lot of good deals this gen. As somebody who also checks the E-Shop a lot, I agree with those who say Nintendo could stand to take a few notes from its competitors.
