Meh, I was quite disappointed. The only good one was the first and maybe Tokyo Jungle. Most of the rest were worse than retail


Cheapest you can get far cry 3 here in australia is $69, and it's $33 on PSN Store! how is that worse? :)


That's great for you, but for anyone living in the Uk, that's not a great deal. You can buy it from amazon for £22.49

As a physical copy, it has also more value, since you can sell it later on


well if you buy it on psn, you get two copies for the price of one because of game sharing. physical is better sort of. i say sort of because i like getting 2 copies instead of one. so if you buy Far Cry 3 on psn, you will be able to download it on two systems. physical copies can't do that. Technically some people in uk find it a great deal. You have an opinion and i understand that but don't say "but for anyone living in the uk thats not a great deal" because you are trying to talk for everyone in the uk but some people in the uk find this a great deal. it is called opinion. i am not trying to piss you off or anything because that is not my intention but you should have said "but for some people that live in the uk, thats not a great deal" and than that would have been better. For example: 10 of my uk friends find this a great deal while 2 of my other uk friends find this deal to be crap. 

No worries, I totally know what you mean. And I don't necessarily disagree.

I guess it all comes down to how you define "great". IMO there are bad, decent, good and amazing deals.

Bad would be a 5% on an old psp game (e.g. valhalla knights for £6,15 from £6,75).

Then there are the decent ones like the battlefield 3 one. It's much cheaper at retail (£15 instead of £30, but you get to play it almost right away and as you said, you can share it, IF you can).

A good deal would be Tokyo Jungle. It's not a very popular game, but it got a good price cut and there is no other way to buy this game.

The great deals are the 75%-80% on Steam of great games. Most of the Steam offers are great.

Lastly, there are the amazing ones, like the humble bundles. You can get huge franchises for almost nothing.

It goes without saying, that not everyone agrees with this. As if people agreed on anything! When I say no one, I don't mean not a single person, but the vast majority at least of peolple who are careful when they buy things online. Of course there are people who might find the Batllefield 3 deal awesome, when it's not. Same with when people say that no one asked for a FFXIII-3. I want it and so many others do too, but most FF fans think it's a complete waste of resources.

At the end of the day, I don't consider the Far Cry 3 deal "great", but maybe good for some people. But, of course, this is just my opinion. Just wanted to let you know why I disagree with you.



Around the Network

Great I hope they could lower the price just like what they did on Dokuro it drops from 50% from its original price for Vita. then ps3 rocks good job on Far Cry 3. ^_^
