So I was going to buy a couple of the games from the super hero sale but its dead

The nerve of Sony only giving you a week to pick up games from the sale. That's it, I'm boycotting them and jumping to Xbox!

How dare Sony not let you buy games from a sale that says "Ends 7/28" on 7/29!

Sure would be nice if the sales ran for more than a few hours and people had time to get what they want. 

To be fair, he wasn't necessarily complaining.  I'll bet some people were hoping for a PS Plus announcement before pulling the trigger on some of the sale items.

Yeah done the same thing before, like recently with the Twisted Metal and the PS All Stars Battle Royal sale. Waited too long, mainly wanting to see what they were offering for the new sales, by the time I got to ordering it, they took it off sale as I was about to finish the checkout process.

Can anyone tell me how this works?  I'm thinking of getting a 2nd PS4 for my house.  If my kids simply take a controller and sign me in to that 2nd PS4 but then play something with their own login, will my games/subscriptions be available to them?  I'm hoping the console just sees a controller signed in for me and then allows the other users logged in to do whatever just like it was my own login doing it.

You designate 1 system as "Primary", anyone can play everything on it. I would put this in my living room. Then your account has access to all of your stuff on any other PS4's as long as you have a internet connect.  I have my buddy's PS4 set as my Primary, so everything I buy he can play. Then I log into my account on the system at my house (w/internet) and I can play too.

Why is everyone so quick to attack this guy, and liking the attackers' sarcastic and trolling "yellow comments? " He wasn't complaining. He's just disappointed that the sales is over. It's not like he's spamming senseless comments day-in, day-out like you guys do. Grow up already!

Fingers crossed that Far cry 3 either is on sale for cheap or is one of the free games for august. Only need a few co op trophies for a platinum on it. Max Payne 3 would be a good free one too.

 

Also wouldn't mind a Ratchet & Clank sale

I would love to replay Far Cry 3 on my PS3 (had it on Xbox).  I would grab this for cheap or free.

What happened to all those PSP games that were on sale for $5? They were on this thread about an hour ago, but not up on the store yet and now they aren't in this thread anymore.

Sales usually last for a week.

That week is over.

What a concept.

I thought they were recently added. I check this site all the time and didn't see those sales until today, but if that's the case; That sucks, but oh well since I already physically own those games.

Those games go on sale at those prices every couple of months, so you won't have to wait long for another shot.

There was one a few weeks ago. Nothing like that this week or the near future from what I've read.

I can understand the guy's position. Due to issues with my bank account, I couldn't buy Marvel vs. Capcom Origins on the 360 until the very last minute, when those problems were resolved. At the same time, it's wise to pay attention to these sales and know when they'll end. I dragged my feet on purchasing that post-apocalyptic animal survival game on the Playstation 3 when it was a dollar, because I didn't own a PS3 and wasn't sure I'd enjoy it once I did. Now I'll never get Tokyo Jungle for a dollar, and I can only blame myself for that.

And in case you didn't know, Treasures of Montezuma: Arena has more of a Puzzle Quest vibe to it than the traditional match three mechanics of the previous game.

As general rules:

 

1) Sales go from Tuesday to Tuesday.   Rare exceptions occur a few times a year, generally weekend Flash Sales.

 

2) The store usually officially updates at 5pm EST / 2 pm PST, pretty much on the nose.  Occasionally late, which they try to avoid as it generally causes several diehards to commit suicide because they're so upset about the delay.   The PS blog posts as soon as it's up.

 

3) Sale prices usually come down early that Tuesday morning, and new releases sometimes start randomly appearing during the day as the store gets updated piecemeal.   They're not officially done updating till #2 above, and so prices may still adjust for sales and such during the morning hours.  Essentially, treat last weeks sale as ending on Monday to be safe, as if you wait till Tuesday morning you're risking missing out.

You can, but you have to complain about the prices and the quality of the toys, and then everything you buy has to be for a kid, not yourself.

The last time the weekly sale was this bad, there was a weekend flash sale. Cross your fingers!
