I bought this on release for $10.95 and quite enjoyed it. It doesn't do anything special apart from the water physics but for the fun and time I got out of it well worth the $1.95 it is now.


I saw this sale last night and when I saw Saints Row 3 I got excited that the season pass was on sale but then I realised it was just the game .

[Axe99]

Thanks for the update Live - lots of great sales floating around these days .

I remembered you mentioned the Season Pass last time when some other Saints Row 3 content went up somewhere, hehe. Hopefully that gets a discount too at some stage to complement this offer .

I also want the Assassin's Creed 3 DLC but that is just so over priced that I can't support it, I generally wait for DLC to go on sale before I get it, Mass effect, Dead Space, Sleeping Dogs, Final Fantasy, Motorstorm RC and Killzone 2 all DLC bought on sale or in packs.

Of course I will by it if I get a game cheap or I think its worth it/enjoy the game, LittleBigPlanet, Dead Nation, SuperStarDust, Magic Orbz, Eye Of Judgment(Spent the same amount my new PS3 cost on this).

But I didn't think the flow DLC I got was worth what I paid for it and alot of the DLC I got on sale would not have been worth the full price.

[spectre51]

Damn nothing for me this week though, pretty good price for the Borderlands 2 season pass. Sports Champions 2 $3 off is laughable though.

Borderlands 2 is tempting me at $35.

Thanks for the heads up, Spectre (I'll update it now). Those are really good deals for Borderlands 2, especially the Season Pass at pretty much 50% off. It's a really great game for just shooting and looting and having some fun, and heaps better with friends to play with too .

Just noticed that Sports Champions 2 deal as well..... hahaha.

They are trying to make us look like fools on the store Sports Champions 2 is cheaper than the blog says, its $18.41 for plus which isn't too bad, and $20.45, for everyone else.

Haha, yeah they did that with Mafia 2 listing from this sale as well. Will have to double-check them all later then, thanks again.

[I_live_4_fun]

And the new deals have been added to the January Sale for the week. These have been marked with an asterisk (*) so that they can be easier for you to find in the midst of all the previous deals in the Sale.

Some of the offers so far include huge discounts on the Borderlands 2 game, and the Borderlands 2 DLC's and Season Pass, along with discounts on a whole range of fitness and sporting games like the Sports Champions series, Move Fitness and Everybody's Golf series. There are also a couple of PS Vita games up on offer, so it's good to see the Vita getting some love in the Sales too (even if it's just a little right now) .

[Axe99]

Thanks for the update Live . That discount on the BL2 season pass is very tempting and, because I can be a bit of a cricket tragic at times, Move Street Cricket, lol!

[Jykel]

Gee getting BL2 and the season pass so cheap is a good deal for a great game!

[spectre51]

Nothing for me in this small final update. Looks a good price for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale though.

Thanks for the heads up again, Spectre. It certainly isn't a big update but the games themselves are pretty massive.

[I_live_4_fun]

The January Sale has now been updated . This final week of the Sale may have only included a handful of updates, but with the likes of Rockstar's huge hits this gen including Max Payne 3, the GTA IV Complete Edition, Red Dead Redemption and the Red Dead Redemption - Undead Nightmare Collection, along with PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (later this week) all with special offers, this is definitely a hard Sale to ignore.

[I_live_4_fun]

And the special offer for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is now up in the PlayStation Store:

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale – (25th Jan – 28th Jan)
Was: AU$73.95/ NZ $94.90; Now: AU$36.95/ NZ $46.95
Additional 10% off for Plus subscribers

Just a little (or big) note about the game:
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is a Cross-Play title, which means that whether you are playing on the PlayStation 3 or on the PlayStation Vita, both can be interconnected seamlessly so you can play on the Vita battling a friend on the PS3 in real-time and have that much more fun. Any downloadable content you purchase can also be applied to both systems with the Cross-Buy feature. Furthermore, when you purchase a copy of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale on the PlayStation 3, you will also receive a free downloadable version of the game on the PlayStation Vita.

And finally, the first batch of character DLC for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will be available for free (for one week only) from next month. So I think this is an extremely good deal, especially for people who own a PS Vita as well .

[Axe99]

Oh aye, that's an epic deal!  If I didn't have such a backlog, I'd grab it in an instant, but the golden rule of video game prices (particularly in the day and age of downloads), is that they're always cheaper later on .

That's definitely true .

Also, this isn't exactly listed as part of the January Sale, but the Dark Souls - Artorias of the Abyss DLC has a special offer in the PlayStation Store too:

Dark Souls - Artorias of the Abyss (add-on content, valid from 23/01/2013 until 05/02/2013)
Was: AU$18.45/ NZ$24.90; Now: AU$11.75/ NZ$15.15

"Dark Souls' add-on, Artorias of the Abyss gives you access to new maps and environments, boss characters, enemies and non-playable characters, weapons and armour, an additional challenging content for stalwart heroes to face and an online match-making feature for co-op or player vs. player gameplay, allowing gamers to showcase their skills against other Dark Souls players around the world".



I'll probably get this for my brother (and watch him fall off any new, treacherous cliffs ).
