Just trying to figure out if there's an easy way to signup for email notifications when certain PSN/XBLA games go on sale. For instance, I'd like to buy:

- Shadow Complex (XBLA)
- Tomb Raider Guardian of Light (either)
- Trine 2 (juuust missed the PSN sale, either)
- Omega Five (XBLA)

Quite a few others actually. Does such a service exist?
 
CAG has E-mail price alerts, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with digital content.

Check out the XBLA DOTW thread's OP every week to make sure you don't miss anything else.
 
Not an email service, but...

Xbldb.com

...is worth following.

Also, I believe Guardian of Light and DLC is on sale this week for Xbox Gold members.
 
PSN price drops and releases only happen on Tuesday, so you can follow the PSN thread here or check the PS blog. The PS people also tweet when they update the store.
 
OK so there aren't any unannounced price drops then? If I just stick to the PSN blog + xbla DOTW threads I'm covered?

What are the odds for Shadow Complex and Guardian of Light to go on sale by the end of the month? Should I just get them anyway??

About 0% with Deadlight being stinky-fresh out of the oven.

1200 is a hefty pill to swollow, but both of those are definitely worth the price. You can completely skip the DLC on GoL, nothing much to see there.

Shadow Complex is still to this day the only XBLA game that had every right to be a full retail release.

PSN almost never has unannounced drops, so that thread will take care of everything you need. XBL has a few more unannounced drops, but they're generally posted in the OP of that thread, but you may need to check that thread more often. Xbldb.com is the website we use on that thread to catch unannounced drops, so get familiar with that site and you can see EVERYTHING that gets a price drop.

No way of knowing when games are going to go on sale. Obviously the chances are low that those 2 titles will go on sale considering there's easily over 500 titles on each XBLA and PSN, but both those games have been on sale in the past and will go on sale again sometime in the future.

Plus, I think Lara Croft GOL is free with PS+ right now, which is easily the best thing in digital gaming at the moment. $50 for a year subscription is a great deal.
 
Oh man, I had no idea about the Free on PSN+ thing. Hard Corps too.... hmmmm

Thanks guys, you've been very helpful.
