Sega of America justs posted on their blog that they will be having a 40% off sale on pretty much every PSN and PSP game/add-on they have on PSN that should start with tomorrow's update and end on January 7 with the next update.

I've taken the liberty of adding the expected prices for each of the games/add-ons based on the prices I have listed in the PS Store update thread:

Here’s a complete list of titles that will be getting the discount — this is virtually everything released on PlayStation Network and available for PSP Go!

PSP:
Alien Syndrme - $9.99
Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars - $9.99
Crush - $9.99
Football Manager Handheld 2010 - $23.99
Full Auto 2: Battlelines - $9.99
Iron Man - $11.99
Sega Genesis Collection - $9.99
Sonic Rivals - $9.99
Sonic Rivals 2 - $17.99
Super Monkey Ball Adventure - $9.99
Sega Rally Revo - $9.99

PS3:
Sonic Unleashed - Chun-nan Adventure Pack - $1.99
Sonic Unleashed - Spagonia Adventure Pack - $1.99
Sonic Unleashed - Holoska Adventure Pack - $1.99
Sonic Unleashed - Mazuri Adventure Pack - $1.99
Sonic Unleashed - Apatos & Shamar Adventure Pack - $1.99
Sonic Unleashed - Empire City & Adabat Adventure Pack - $1.99
Sonic the Hedgehog - Very Hard Sonic Missions - $1.49
Sonic the Hedgehog - Very Hard Shadow Missions - $1.49
Sonic the Hedgehog - Very Hard Silver Missions - $1.49
Valkyria Chronicles - Hard EX Mode - $2.99
Valkyria Chronicles - Edy's Mission - $2.99
Valkyria Chronicles - Selvaria's Mission - $2.99
Gunstar Heroes - $2.99

It brings most of their PSP games below $10 and their PS3 add-ons down below $3, so it's as good a time to get something from Sega as you'll see for now.

There are some possible issues that I noticed, which is that they say it starts on Christmas Eve when there's no update and they list a Football Manager game that I don't think has been released in the US or on PSN, at least.

Edit: They're also having a sale on Virtual Console games on the Wii, which is a new concept for me:

That means instead of paying the usual 800 Wii Points, you’ll be able to take home some of our most cherished Sega Genesis games for the low low price of 500 Wii Points. Start saving on December 24th, but don’t wait too long – this awesome deal ends January 6th 2010.

Take your pick from Sega’s holiday sample platter – double dipping is highly encouraged:
• Sonic The Hedgehog
• Sonic The Hedgehog 2
• Sonic The Hedgehog 3
• Gunstar Heroes
• Toe Jam & Earl
• Puyo Puyo 2
• Shining Force
• Golden Axe
• Altered Beast
• Streets Of Rage 2

Thanks to Slermy for posting this.

I'll FINALLY pick up Toe Jam & Earl on the Wii VC.

Before anybody buys the VC EX HARD DLC, you should read the destructiod reviewed (linked earlier in this thread).

I'm only interested in Behind Her Blue Flame. The other two don't seem to be worth it, but it's an incentive to get them as well with this sale going on. Even then, I'll save those $6 for something else.

Glad to see a sale for the first time ever in Virtual Console history.

I bought Sega Rally Revo. It's a pretty fun little game. The graphics are pretty good for the PSP.

 

[Rictor]

Might snag Puyo Puyo 2. Fun puzzle game.

 

[jkam]

Cool sale.

 

[KillerRamen]

The VC Mission packs are good, but very hard. (I liked Edy's more than Selvaria's) Now I just need to get EX Hard Mode.

 

[Wolfkin]

does Gunstar for Wii have offline multiplayer?

I would assume every VC title would retain all original functionality. If it lacked offline multiplayer people would be very upset.
As it is a VC title, though, I'm doubt it would have onlnie multiplayer.

 

[Wolfkin]

perfect. not too concerned with online. though i am considering picking up both and using the pSN version for just that reason.

 

[dcm1602]

Anyone else interested in gamesharing Valkyria Chronicles DLC for the ps3 send me a message im definitely interested.

 

[Ocajavati]

Douchbag sonyrewards is still not putting more PSN cards up.

I sense conspiracy.

 

[Hestar]

It says from 1.49.

And that includes VC DLC and Sonic.

Which means its probably some of the sonic stuff that cheap
