Why don't we get these deals in Europe.... -_-


Because Sony doesn't need to try so hard here i guess, they have no competition. It's starting to piss me off to though, Europe is their biggest and most important market.

There is currently an EA sale on the psn store and it's coming off the back of a huge arcade hits Sale, there is a new sale in EU psn every 2 weeks which has offers comparable to this stuff... sure it's a shame the two stores aren't unified because there is some stuff in the US sales that looks nice but yeah after picking up Street fighter alpha 3 for 1euro, Crazy Taxi 1+2 (€1.80)and power stone 1+2 (€3) al for the Vita I really don't think it's far to say EU doesn't get some love from Sony sales wise.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Sure Europe get's sales to but they are generally less impressive. Ir worse, the same games on sale with a higher price. I remember wanting to buy The Evil Within during the holiday sales and it was €39,99 here and $29,99 in the U S.

The sales are different but neither one is always better than the other. From the OP

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD PS Vita $4.95 $14.99

From my purchase history

 
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD - VITA (Full Game)
 
 
 
€3.99
 

From the OP

Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max PSP / Vita $3.50 $9.99

Purchase history

 
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max [PSP] (Full Game)
 
 
 
€2.00

Like I said, the stores are different yes, but EU sales can be great too, there is no point just sitting here thinking the grass is always greener based on 1 item or 1 sale that looked better.

As much as I love giant games that you can get lost in for years (literally, I have 2+ years playtime in WoW) I absolutely love having games like Trials/Joe Danger around that you can just throw it on for 5 min breaks, jump in, get blown up, have fun and hop back out again without having to remember where in the story you are or the super complex controls to not suffer hours of relearning if you take a break for a month from the game. Great user content to download in Trials too if you haven't looked into it yet.

You are right in that the simple almost intuitive controls are not forgoten easily. I played one of the older Fusion games. Have not played in some time and I instantly remembered them. Plus, this version has several good tips on how to play better that I never thought about before, so it rocks! The amount of user content is amazing.

Also, I will have to consider Joe Danger since you say it is similar.

They should rename this to PSN Flash Downtime

Although prices are excellent, nothing for me to buy. Stuff that interests me I already have, and the rest would just be $5 wasted on something that will forever stay unplayed.
Was thinking about Freedom Wars, but monster hunting games are not something I enjoy, so I'll pass...

Unlike previous sales, I see a lot of games I want to own. I shall be participating!

Joe Danger is similarish... but not half as good as the trials games, I just got that and Urban trial freestyle on the vita as Trials knock off type games because the real thing wasn't on the system sadly.

I'm looking at getting Ni no Kuni, but my old card expired, and new one keeps getting declined. Ugh, I just bought dinner with it a couple minutes ago. x.x

Not that it really matters that much, with the size of my backlog it'll probably be on sale again before I'd ever get around to playing it.

Caved in and bought The Walking Dead. Might also pick up The Wolf Among Us.
