PS Store Days of Play Sale Discounts 60 PS5 Games, 500 PS4 Games

That's still $85 for a PS5 game.

Well, it's better than nothing? 🤷

Shame there isn't a deal on Plus/Now. It's when I like to get my subs

The EU discounts are bad as always. I would never buy a Digital Only console.

Ugh, I've only just bought the Pulse 3D headset so no money right now. But in June I'm going shopping! 😃 Ghost of Tsushima will finally be mine.

13 Sentinels good price, sub £20 with PSN discounted credit is a good deal.

Pretty sure I got Yakuza 7 for about that much when it was new (on PS5). Still, it's an amazing game, basically a solid bar of 24-carat soul and charm. Absolutely oozes personality. You need to play it if you have any interest in character-driven and/or immersive games at all.

@Greifchen Indeed, my friend. So glad I got the disc version. EU discounts on PSN sucks big time. Picked up Ghost of Tsushima on disc for roughly $15 recently for example.

@Crazybuttocks198 "What’s more, additional deals on PlayStation Store as well as PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now subscriptions will also be available during Days of Play. Stay tuned for more info here on the PlayStation Blog and over on the Days of Play Site."
I think they have definitely screwed up.

@Crazybuttocks198 pretty sure discounts on plus and now will be announced later. Think today is when the deals with retailers kick off too

BTW you can buy Last of Us 2 on Disc brand new from Game in the UK for £9.99, now that is the best deal of the lot. The digital version of the game being more than double the price in a sale is indeed scandalous.

@Crazybuttocks198 Yeah I was hoping for that too. Their services used to get price cuts while Days of Play usually.

@PaperAlien And its this reason why most of my bought games are on disc. Would love to go all digital but expecting me to pay twice the price for digital instead is just crazy. Especially if I sell the game after I've finished with it and pretty much make the money back. Where is the incentive to go digital?

A digital future to look forward to! Honestly you could find most of these cheaper the day they released with a quick Google search. Baffling.

Just got re village 30 euros from some guy who didn't like it good enough discount? 😂

@Bush absolute bargin! Its a banger

I wish you guys put notable deals into a table like Pure Xbox and NintendoLife do, rather than writing them into a paragraph. My brain needs a list of game names and then their prices to the right of the names, I get lost otherwise!

@Porkman85
I mean, choice is a good thing, but I don't get why every single PSN sale draws ire from the physical only crowd. I stopped using discs in my PS4 days and haven't looked back. Now I'm loving my digital PS5 and it looks nicer to boot, too (yes, I like symmetry). To sum up, buy games where and how you want to. You don't need to complain about something you don't take advantage of.

Didn't even have to scroll to see the typical folk come out from the woodworks to state how "this shows why physical is king" or "this shows why I never buy digital"

Newsflash, no-one asked! Everyone has their preference and I don't see why we can't leave it at that without constantly having to have a who has the bigger kn*b contest with how people compare physical and digital media.

Both have their pros and cons, and that's okay! Some people may prefer one over the other, and that's okay!

If you like buying physical for finding deals or having a tangible collection you carry on doing what you enjoy!

And if you like buying digital where you can sacrifice the usual rise in price for an ease of access to your content and other benefits like midnight unlocks on new titles and preloads on upcoming games then you also keep doing what you enjoy!

I hate how we always have to make people feel bad for what they enjoy, it's a massive problem with social media sites and forums especially.

For what it's worth I think the sale is lousy on Sony's part but new Digital PS5 users can get gems like Demon's Souls, MM or Sackboy for a pretty decent discount and an arguably great one if you can get a third party voucher code online via ShopTo and are a fan of the ease of access Digital can bring.

@Porkman85 You're free to prefer digital over physical, but please don't refer to fellow users as "peasants" or make assumptions about their financial situation.

Doing so breaks our community rules.

@Porkman85 I’m not sure why you’d harass people for not wanting to pay double price. Strange hill to die on.

@Grimwood yeah sure it will be a ps+ game in your dreams maybe.

@Porkman85 There you are! IGN have been worried sick! You better get over there and let them know you're okay!

Jeez...Have an opinion, fine. But if you lack the strength of character to share it without being offensive there are plenty other forums you'll be more at home.

@PaperAlien
Yes, but Sony have got to rinse us again in the hope of new buyers being interested in the 60FPS patch that dropped on PS5

@Greifchen
1. Buying the game second hand from eBay isn't officially buying it from the developers themselves.
2. ShopTo is an approved credit reseller and there are always sales on PlayStation credit
3. As someone that came from PC, I prefer digital versus playing around with discs

Ghost of Tsushima and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim are quite tempting at that price. I'm also interested in the Mafia Trilogy, though it's considerably cheaper in the UK to get it from Currys PC World.

The PS5’s sale prices are laughable.

Bit of a joke tbh...demons souls can be picked up for £35 on ebay...spiderman is even cheaper..

Proof yet again to never lock one's self into a digital-only console. That extra $100 is worth the total freedom of going for either dirt cheap discs or digital sales. Win-win. 😎

The only fair deals here are the ones at the end, but that’s because they’ve largely already been given for free on other services.
I’ll stick to physical thanks, so much better value.

So Sackboy finally drops to £52, eh?

Bargain, considering you can get the PS4 disc (with PS5 upgrade if you so choose) for ten pounds less on a certain online retailer...

Sony's trying to be like Nintendo with their first party game sales. SMH

I'm sick of hearing "support the developers" like they are some endangered species. If devs want my money, they make a product i want at a reasonable price, just like anyone else who wants my cash. Ps studios devs get payed either way and most profits go to Sony anyway.

digital only customers are being asked to pay ridiculous prices and i wouldn't blame anyone for swapping to physical and never buying a first hand game ever again.

They get what they deserve. This is business and we're the ones with the cash!

Edit: These prices are shocking and i won't be buying a thing

It will be overlooked by many but The Pedestrian is a wonderful little puzzle game that is a steal at under £10.

Value or lack thereof aside, what the flip is with the (US) sale price of $X0.19 on a good lot of these games? The point of the ubiquitous $XX.99 or $X9.99 pricing of goods has always been to exploit the customer's psychology and trick their brains into treating the price as a dollar or ten lower than it actually is; pricing games the way Sony is for this sale defeats the point entirely, and is just uneven numbers for uneven numbers' sake.

Is the new psychology that consumers have become so accustomed to the hassle of 9's in their prices that they'd actually be spooked away be a $X0.00 flat price, or have we entered a bizzaro world where digital goods are intentionally priced a bit higher than their real price instead of lower just to push customers into buying the next-higher chunk of ten-dollar store credit?

That's a good price for Dragon Quest XI, though I already have it on Switch. Might pick up Titanfall 2 since it's only $4.

@Loftimus
These games require hundreds of hours with budgets that are hundreds of millions. Sony are going the extra mile with the haptics, graphics, and audio compared to the many unfinished early access games on PC.

Yes, £40 for a ten hour game may seem a lot but you are funding the developer and the future projects. Second hand, you can't say the same.

Look at what happend to Bend Studio and Vicarious Visions.

Seems to me the deal here is Sekiro. $30 is a new low digital price by $10.

@RyReps Sony aren't holding developers to ransom for my cash mate. These developers can always leave and go to another development company. They're not battery hens all cooped up with no choice. As far as digital prices go, if it's overpriced, it wont sell and developers/publishers will have no one to blame but themselves. This is a buyers market and if Sony want to take liberties with the price, then all of the consequences are on them. People are going to find cheaper ways to get the games and if that means Sony/developers don't get a cut, so what? It's their own fault!

Those PS5 games are still over $60. Heck no.

@Fath $69.99 - 14% = $60.19

Not even a tenner off the price of those PS5 games. Sony making Nintendo look generous.

Finally giving The Last of us 2 ago. I've heard nothing but good things.

@Saucymonk
Depending on whether you liked/loved the first one be prepared for not being prepared. I guess you already know that, though 😉 Anyway, enjoy. Few games made such a lasting impression on me in my almost 30 years of gaming.

@everynowandben And who ever heard of a 14% discount? A straightforward 15% discount would've taken that down to $59.49, which should logically be a substantially more marketable number both in price and percentage, but Sony went out of their way to not do that.

It's weird.

@DonJorginho people always need a reason to divide, I guess.
First, it was the console war?
Now, it's "what kind of console do you have, in our shared ecosystem?"
Then, "did you buy physical or digital?"
It truly is asinine.

Have a PS5, should I get Last Of Us Part 2? Enjoyed the 1st one greatly. Just worried that I buy it but then they will release a PS5 version at additional cost. After all the devs of the game said more surprises to come when they released the 60fps patch.
I have noticed Sony first party games hold their value longer, $42.97 for this AUS, and Ghost of Tsunami $56.97AUS on this sale. A lot for old PS4 games. Although that's one disadvantage of buying the digital only PS5 version .

@Digit2021
Perhaps there will be a remaster bundled with The Last of Us remake, similar to Miles Morales Ultimate Edition.
