PlayStation Store Big in Japan Sale Has Some of the Best PS4 Bargains Yet

Resident Evil is tempting, but I want to own those physically if possible so will have to think about it. Some good stuff on sale though.

Tempted by Dragon's Crown Pro but I've just bought RDR2 at last, and will be getting Aegis Rim in the post at some point (seriously, last time I'm preordering from The Game Collection).

@MS7000 The RE1 and RE0 collection is £10.99 on Base.com at the moment.

Again, Vita seems to be missing out on what used to be its last bastion of big game sales, with only the cross-buy Ys Origin (which is already coming to Switch) of arguable note on display. Then again, I had to manually search this display myself as the general offer tab doesn't list it even after focusing on the console (how does a browser PS Store filter still manage to overlook a discount on an item that literally has "PS Vita" typed up front?), and the themed section isn't up, so perhaps it's too early to judge.

Granted, the odds of me shopping here are extra low this time anyway - not only September is a financially meager month, but I'm also waiting to have my account restored after some dodo breached in and swapped the login mail data. Never had such issues in my long internet past (I didn't use 2-step, yet my passwords are by no means about St Dominic's canonization either), but then again, what's 2020 for?😏 I've contacted the support with the reportedly required data and pics enclosed, and there seem to be positive signs (my contact mail remains the same and just got "reminded of a forgotten" Days Gone copy in the cart, a possible sign that the alerted network may be refusing the thief's transactions), but the support folks themselves haven't got back to me beyond the automated response yet.

Before you ask - no tied cards or such to worry about, region discrepancy never allows this to begin with, even with PayPal.

@Matroska Thanks for the heads up. =) Funnily enough, those two I already own on disc. I just need 3-6 and revelations 1 + 2.

@KathyQ The problem is, even with the discount, you can get a new physical copy of Persona 5 Royal for less. And Resident Evil 3. And Yakuza Remastered Collection is only 96p less than a physical edition from Simply Games. So typically either the savings aren't great (especially considering you don't really own digital, and you can't lend, sell or trade them in) or there are no savings at all. And it's so weird, they don't have to pay for manufacture, for a case, for shipping them around the world, and the game shop doesn't get a cut since digital is sold direct - and yet they're still more expensive.

Though to end on a positive, AI: The Somnium Files isn't even for sale in nost places, and when it is it's about £15 more than the above price, so there are some exceptions.

The Big in Japan sales are always the worst ones for my wallet. There's so many good games on sale here.

I feel that the wallet will suffer. Big on Japan with no discounts in Atelier or Neptunia or Sega games seems a bit bizarre though.

I may get digital versions on some Neo-Geo. Most are on sale. Some are Vita cross-buy.

Tales of Berseria is one of my favourite console exclusives this generation. Highly recommended especially at that price!!!

@TheGamerKing Me too!

I don't need to replay Resi 4 & 5! I don't need to replay Resi 4 & 5! I don't need to replay Resi 4 & 5!

oh FFS. I JUST bought NIoh 2 for full price 3 days ago.

I recommend dragon crown pro to anyone that like 2D fighting/brawler games like street of rage 4 and river city girls, the gameplay, art and graphics is really good

@LiamCroft Are these 2 accurate? Most of the other price parings are much closer. If so, only 1 country is getting a bargain. 😉

"Tales of Berseria is an absolute bargain at just £3.19/$9.99"
"Castlevania Requiem is another bargain at £3.99/$9.99"

I hope it goes live for the US PSN store soon! I love these sales along with the Golden Week sale.

Lots of games here. Sakura Wars, Vanquish, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4.

Come on, you can't mark down Zero Escape on Vita too?? I hope Chunsoft announces it for Switch at TGS this weekend.

Before i get it digitally, anyone know of a better deal on Final Fantasy 12 Zodiac Age?

@LiamCroft Could you guys start adding proper NA and EU links to these sale articles? I love seeing these articles, but I never know if I’ll get my regions sale when I click on something.

@Jaz007 Sure! For reference, you can also edit the link you're sent to where it says "/en-gb/" to "/en-us/" and you should be sent to the US version.

@Netret0120 Oops, links aren't working.. o.0

Just go to Ebay and Amazon, they have some better deals for you, and in physical.

Tales of Berseria is the only game I have never played.I kept meaning to get it at some point but as I was disappointed with the game before I didant want to pay too much for it.£3.19?Got no excuse now.

For those of you that are going to be getting a PS5 in a couple of months, it's worth remembering that multiple games in this sale, including Resident Evil VII, Final Fantasy XV and Persona 5, are going to be given to you for free with your PlayStation Plus subscription when PS5 launches.

@crimsontadpoles I tried to resist. Caved in and my wallet took a hit. Hard. Damn.

@strawhatcrew they're available now. Grab em while it's hot 🔥.

@belmont ikr? Outside of Super Neptunia RPG, no discounts of the other Neptunia games or any of Atelier: I'm guessing that Koei Tecmo are gonna be pricks? I guess.
