Rental goliath Blockbuster wants more deals with publishers to offer exclusive DLC goodies to customers. It's just secured such an offering with EA Sports' Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13.
Pre-order the golf title with Blockbuster and you get two additional DLC packs. It's a "first between our two companies" said Blockbuster. They've gotten a taste and now want more.
Kotaku - In no rec league could I ever throw a no-hitter. Alone on a basketball court I'd need half an hour to score 69 points—and a trampoline to dunk. But I can do all of those things in my living room. If video games give us the conceit of doing the impossible, only now has one demonstrated how hard that really is.
EA is now running a Publisher Sale on Xbox Live that sees many games and DLC discounted by quite a bit until February 4th, 2013. Ranging from Battlefield 3 to Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue, and SSX for $10, there's a lot on sale.
Well worth $10... not sure it was worth the $60 I paid for it.
Also, is it messed up that I already have everything on that list? I'm getting better at not buying games and waiting for sales because it feels like a kick in the nuts when I see a game I payed full price for at $10.
... while we in Europe also get these deals, yet SSX is 15 EURO, which means even though it's on sale for us as well, it's still twice as expensive as what the USA gamers have to pay for the same game...
.... which is obviously ridiculous.

I have been sympathetic to gamers in other countries getting price gouged for a long time. I think it sucks that your prices are higher, especially while your currency value is inflated. Check out US amazon.com and see if they ship to your country. I have friends in South America, Europe and elsewhere that order from there to get lower prices. Some still have to pay import duties, but it is still cheaper for them go the extra mile.

Continuing our tradition of offering a great PSN sale to start the year off right, we’re back in 2013 with the “13 for ‘13” sale on PlayStation Network. Starting tomorrow, January 22nd, and running through January 28th, we’re bringing you 13 great PS3 games at 50% off their regular price, and PlayStation Plus members can save even more with 75% off each title. Additionally, we’re upping the ante this year by bringing you 13 of the hottest, most critically acclaimed films of the previous year at great prices!
Will be picking up LBPK for 10 dollars. This might be the closest PS3 users will get to a steam sale on PSN.
A step in the right direction, Sony.
@Nitrowolf2, I have the Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank collections on Disc, but if I didn't that would be a great way to get into those games.
Unfinished Swan was on sale during the Holiday Essentials sale and I missed it, so this time I don't plan on doing that again.
The Unfinished Swan – Regular $14.99, Sale $7.49, PS Plus $3.75
Ratchet & Clank – Regular $14.99, Sale $7.49, PS Plus $3.75
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy – Regular $7.99, Sale $3.99, PS Plus $2.00
Already have the colelction, but since I'm Plus those prices are just to good to miss.
Those are the three I'm planning on getting :P
I think. lol.
Great sale!
Edit: LBP Karting looks fun too, though. Not sure whether to get LBPK and US or US, R&C, and J&D. I need a sale where all four of those cost $15 haha.
@Calis
Yeah I am, $2.00 is dirt cheap, it'll be nice to have the extra digital version.
Those are actually some really great PS Plus discounts, especially for the likes of LBP Karting and Unfinished Swan
What is that I read on the title? Games and MOVIES? can someone check up on that? is this true? or just a bad title..
Great :/ pre order DLC is annoying enough especially when different 'packs' are offered by different stores. All this will will mean is that even more content will be cut from the games and distributed to stores as pre order incentives :(
