PSN Flash Sale. Combo of Who Cares? and Still Too Expensive

and in some cases both.

Historically the Flash sales on PSN have brought us 99 cent classics or deep discounts on stuff people have wanted to check out but not for full pop.

This Flash sale consists of mediocre discounts and contains many games I could either buy cheaper at retail or wouldn't play if they were the last games on earth.

Your mileage may vary but this is the lamest sale they've ever had. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to buy Shadow of Mordor for 30 bucks in a grocery store.

Here's the whole mess.

Yea, Black Flag caught my eye. I was looking for PSOne games today though.

I picked up a new copy of Dragon Age: Inquisition for PS4 for about ten bucks less at Gamestop than what this sale is offering.

That might have tempted me except for the not having a PS4 part. I wound up buying the Shadow of Mordor Legion edition for 30 bucks plus 5 bucks in discount points at my local grocery store. 

I want the game but I'll wait on Dragon Age until it hits 30 or less on PS3. It's not like I don't have tons to play in the meantime :)

Come on man, you can get a special edition of Advanced Warfare for only 80 or so!

pardon me while I retch up a lung. That's one series that seriously needs to go away and never return. I'd buy a physical copy for 80 cents if I needed a new coaster.

Actually, the new one looks really fun to me. I like the futuristic and clean look and arcadey action it seems to be going for.

Killing other people can never look like fun to me.

Well that's not the fun part for me, but I can understand how you feel.

Hey Joe where you goin' with that gun in your hand Nah, I'm just particulary put off by that kind of thing. Violence against fictitious aliens and cartoon villains is ok though. :)

How would you respond to a game where you were mowing down aliens, but later learned they were really just like people (a la District 9)?

Honestly I would feel bad about it unless of course they were just like bad people. LOL

yeah not impressed by any of the sales this xmas.

That's why I blew the 20 on the RE remake. I should start playing it on the Wii again so I can make some comparisons when it drops. Frankly I'm not expecting much other than the gamecube's 480p graphics upscaled but I won't have to listen to my Wii disc drive scream while I'm playing it.

Maybe I figure out how that starter pistol is supposed to kill the shark this time.

My HDD on my PS3 isnt big enough to hold bigger titles anyhow. I mostly just download classic games for my VITA.

I don't know about you, but I WOULD and buy some of the games listened there. Not at those prices of course.

Picked up Dragon Age: Inquisition for the PS4. Same price for PS3 version, too. This really needs to be the last game that I buy for a while.

yeah this flash sale sucks.

But you can't have everything.  Sony has more than made up for it in the value they've offered up over the past year via Flash Sales.

People have come to rely heavily on a flash sale every month.  Huh....

I agree, I just don't see a sale here is what I'm getting at.

I'm been spoiled by the .99 flash sales! Anything else seems lame in comparison. That's the only times I actually spend money on things. What I see here I can either buy cheaper used or don't care to own anytime soon. What a lame way to end the year....

I thought about getting the walking dead games since they very both for 6.25 apiece but I really just want season 2 on the vita.

Steam sales is were its at, unless you spurged earlier this year and got the games you already wanted. That PSN flash sale was pretty weak.
