I'm not going to make a new post for every discovery or observation I make but this one is a pretty big one.
Infamous: Festival of Blood is a digital-only standalone expansion of Infamous. It's cheap (4.99) and it's better to get it on the PlayStation Store and play it natively on PS3 than use PS Plus Premium.
Both core games and Festival of Blood are bundled together for 14.99 if you don't want physical copies of the two core games. That's still pretty cheap and I might get it soon instead of hoping for a last minute sale in the closing days to month of the store.
Xbox 360 and 3DS/Wii U had some great sales when they closed but with how broken the PS3 and Vita storefronts are I would not bank on that.

The PS3 and Vita store hasn't had a single sale since 2020. That's because Sony stopped allowing discounts on those stores for whatever reason. If you want something you have to buy it at whatever price it is. The only games that you can get discounts on are the cross-buy games if there's a PS4 version with it. You'd have to buy the PS4 version to get the discount then go to your Vita/PS3 to download the game.

So yeah everyone, do not expect discounts before they close.
