PS Store Reduces the Price of Retro Games and Remasters

That’s what I’m talking about! It’s the PS4’s last year in business so they are trying to go out with a bang. Good sales and two great months of good PS Plus games in a row. I’ve actually been holding off on buying PS4 games because I don’t know what’s going to be in the lineup.

I'm annoyed that Final Fantasy VIII isn't in this sale. I know it was on sale recently, but I...wasn't ready then. I am now. But not $20 ready.

If I didn't already have Okami three times...

Think I'll finally grab AC Rogue, rude not to for a tenner. The Hitman HD Collection is well worth £15. Absolution is worth that alone, such an underrated game.

Edit: Nice to see Sony sticking to their Anti-EU policy, the difference between the US and EU sale is disgraceful.

Build up that back log - as if it wasn't long enough already.

You can't go wrong with DOOM for 1.99!

Retro sale: Syberia and Cel Damage on PS3, Vertical Drop Heroes on Vita.

I mean, I'm used to the sales rarely including the discontinued consoles nowadays, but with a name like this? Come on now, when your storefront continues to host sizeable PS1 and PSP libraries, one may be led to wonder if we are talking different definitions of "retro".😅

Granted, there WAS a quiet bunch of discounted PS1 classics recently - I got the two Suikodens from it myself - but these days you'll be lucky if the website even manages to list them in the general offer tab, let alone advertise specifically.

@RedFinch my Switch library alone is closing in on 330 titles and likely to exceed the number before March. And the combined PS4/Vita/PSP ones, albeit largely IGC-inflated (on Switch, I count the subscription retro libraries separately)? 331 title to date. I hereby feel personally attacked.😂

Cheers for this article. Just snapped up Shadow of the Colossus for £12.99. I’ve bought so many games on sale recently I need to get round to actually playing them. Arkham Knight, Spider-Man, Resident Evil 2, Borderlands the Handsome collection, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, God of War.... the list goes on and on. Recently finished Detroit: Become Human. Wondering what to play next...

Definitely Shadow of the Colossus. I've been watching a copy on disc for just a little bit more on eBay for a while now so this will do nicely.
Maybe Medievil too.

Decided to get Vice City, must've been about 10 years old last time I played it.

There's some really cheap deals in the PS3 store...

Might get an old Breath of Fire PS1 game for $2.

Or the old Doom games on PS4 for not much more.

£17.49 for spyro trilogy when it's been £12 around Christmas

@Vacuumator @nhSnork as ever, i recommend checking https://psprices.com/region-gb/index and filtering by your country and platform of choice.

Sony spectacularly fail to advertise vita sales, so its the only way to keep tabs on what is actually on sale. The same will now be true for PS3.

If you click on individual games it also gives you a graph which shows when the game was previously on sale and for what price.

@Rob_230 thanks, I've been using it for several years myself. It's just that this case felt more ironic than usual - a "retro sale" almost entirely neglecting the platforms that house most of Sony's retro legacy on the store.

@nhSnork You make a very good point!

Just bought ctr for $23 and soul calibur 6 for $15, it's a good psn discount

Crikey!
There are some really good picks there!

Looks like there's no 'sale' groups in the PS3 store anymore.

You have to look at web lists and search for specific games.

There's link in the article above for all PS1 games in the PS3 game sale.

Nice. Some very good sales. 🙂
