    I thought that at least once a year, AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR you could feature a proper amount of Vita games in a sale during the themed sale they would fit the most appropriately. If the current list is everything you have, I can’t help but feel more disappointed that I’ve ever been with you thus far. You’re actively neglecting Vita player base, trying to pretend it doesn’t exist and isn’t worth the same treatment as those who own a PS4. And, to be honest, that is really scummy. Why would we have to pay full price for same games that can be bought for great sale prices on PS4? Why are you actively exluding Vita games and especially Vita versions of games from sales?

      Totally agree. I mean they can ignore it by not releasing AAA games for it, but at least have sales on games that already exist. Cant be such an effort. Would bring them some cash, doubt many buy these games at full price anymore.

      maaden agreeing with a complaint, arrghhh the worlds going to end

      SONY, is it SO HARD to add a damn ps-vr filter? Do we have to search through 520 titles? Thank u so much..

    • MiseryPrincess

      There is a PS VR filter on the PS4’s store.

      I kind of agree with you, wish there were more Vita games on Sale. But I still got Ys VIII for my Vita at a great discount during this Sale, so I can’t really complain. ^_^

    Devil May Cry still at 59

      Yep, waiting for this to drop as well mate. C’mon and update the store, we’re waiting! :D

    • N_Kinz_6

      they took it off the list

    • TianGCstar
      May 2, 2019 at 1:19 pm PDT

      I was also waiting for it. But I noticed that it has been removed now from the list above. So it looks like it was just a mistake. Let’s wait for its inevitable discount later then (too much games in my backlog anyway).

    The Vita is dead, mate. Time to move on.

    • Maaden_Swe
      May 1, 2019 at 12:08 pm PDT

      I still love mine. And I accept they dont bring big games anymore but they could have the old ones for sale :)

    • unbiased
      May 1, 2019 at 12:33 pm PDT

      vita may be dead to new games, but still has loads available and i play mine every day,

      working through the trails games at the mo

    • PJB-11

      If Vita is truly dead then Sony wouldn’t be missing much if they put the Vita games on sale. ;)

      Also I still play mine.

      Also, as someone mentioned below, there are a lot of vita games on sale, just not promoted very well! :D

  • Carnivius_Prime

    There’s a few lil things here on my wishlist so i’ll take those and there’s a couple larger things i would like but can’t afford cos I’m still kinda broke after buying new tv. Not too bad a sale. Feeling better. But them good feelings will likely die if Metal Gear Survive actually is our main PS Plus freebie announced tonight. DO NOT WANT.

    Big in Japan Sale……unless you’re an Atelier game. Disappointed no Atelier game is on sale here….

    • ilikethispart
      May 1, 2019 at 11:50 am PDT

      Also Atelier Nelke seems to have disappeared from the store, even though the DLC is still there… I hope this gets fixed soon.

    • MiseryPrincess
      May 1, 2019 at 12:05 pm PDT

      Buy them physically.

      Digital sales are sometimes reasonable but normally get nowhere near as cheap as physical.

    • unbiased
      May 1, 2019 at 12:33 pm PDT

      yeah i wanted the remastered trilogy but not paying full price again for it

    • bunnyho
      May 2, 2019 at 2:28 pm PDT

      You can’t buy the Atelier Arland PS4 Remasters physically outside of Japan. And £73.99 for the trilogy or £32.99 each for Remasters is a bit much…

  • Tuulenpoika

    PSA: There are actually a very decent amount of Vita games on sale, but for some reason they are not listed here, nor in the store listing that went live around the same time as this blog post. So in case any other Vita fans want to see what’s up, just go through the regular Vita games listing at the store, or better yet, use PSPrices. That way you can see all the deals. There are some very good ones in there, in case you have missed out on something that’s not Atelier. Because those games still aren’t featured, regrettably.

    • JackFrost-95
      May 1, 2019 at 9:03 am PDT

      We should be used to Sony “hiding” Vita games from their blog. Except for Mary Skelter this time, funnily enough.

      I might be wrong, but according to PSPrices there hasn’t been a single Vita Atelier game on sale since late 2017, which is very unfortunate. I’d tell you to wait for a price drop, but you know how…allergic publishers are to them, sadly.

    • PJB-11

    Came here for my annual recommendation of Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles but it’s not on sale

    Oh well. Sale seems alright, maybe not as good as previous years and some of the discounts are a bit weak but there’s some decent prices

  • JackFrost-95
    May 1, 2019 at 8:55 am PDT

    Just as a PSA, in case you’re interested: if you want to buy any of these games, you should probably get them now. There’s a good chance you’re not going to see most of these on sale again until the January sale.

  • Helvetefaen
    May 1, 2019 at 9:33 am PDT

    Lei Wulong as DLC, such disgusting business practice. Guess I’ll grab it now while on sale, but still horrible to have to pay for a default Tekken character.

    • MiseryPrincess
      May 1, 2019 at 11:46 am PDT

      Or you could just do what I do and not buy it at all.

      Tekken 7 was already a pretty shoddy game but Season Pass 2 killed it..

    • Ygdrasille
      May 24, 2019 at 11:21 pm PDT

      Exactly. What happened to the free character updates which they were doing with Tekken Tag 2 back in the day?

    Japanese sale? Good excuse not to spend any money if you ask me!

    • MiseryPrincess
      May 1, 2019 at 12:14 pm PDT

      Yes, shouldn’t spend money on good games, especially with the next EA/Activision/Ubisoft weekly sale incoming.

    • unbiased
      May 1, 2019 at 12:34 pm PDT

      what a pointless comment with the amount of rinse/repeat sales they do but each to their own, for me this is the best sale each year

      spent about 50 quid today :)

    • tomford50
      May 7, 2019 at 11:24 am PDT

      Because I don’t like weird-ass JRPG’s I MUST like FIFA/COD/Far Cry? OK yeah good one.

      These games are good in YOUR opinion, not mine. I hate Japanese games. Get over it.

    • tomford50
      May 7, 2019 at 11:25 am PDT

      How is my disliking Japanese games pointless? I can’t stand anything within that genre of game. I hate RPG’s generally, turn-based games are the worst things ever and anime is the pits.

      IMO. I’m glad it’s a sale for you though, and I’m glad you found something to purchase :-)

    Might finally get the persona dancing stage collection as it’s quite a discount but not a fan of the persona games just rhythm games…. Can anyone recommend

    • MiseryPrincess
      May 1, 2019 at 11:48 am PDT

      There’s a demo of 3 and 5 on the store if you want to try them out.

    • ilikethispart
      May 1, 2019 at 11:49 am PDT

      I’m a big Persona fan, but I’d say those the Dancing games are great from a gameplay perspective so I don’t think you need to be a Persona fan to enjoy them.

  • blacksheepwall_
    May 1, 2019 at 11:44 am PDT

    Lot of games I’m interested in but not at the price I want.

    One good thing is metal gear survive is in there which hopefully means we won’t get dumped with it later

    • MiseryPrincess
      May 1, 2019 at 11:57 am PDT

      Both Conan and the Surge were in the sale when we got them last month.

      Conan even had a bonus discount for being a plus member..

  • UshioOkazaki-

    It’s been years I’m waiting for good sales for Atelier games, now a “Japan game sales” appear but still no Atelier in sales. Are you kidding me? Can you stop neglect Atelier’s fans at some point or you just truly don’t care? Why is it always the same game on sales, and not those who can bring more people in the fanbase?

    Wish KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue would get a better discount than this, ah well, I can wait ( or just get it in a store for a tenner ).

  • Josip_Jukic

    Any recomendations guys?I want to pick something good but i don’t want to maybe waste my money..

    • MiseryPrincess
      May 1, 2019 at 9:38 pm PDT

      What genre are you into?

      If you’re into JRPGs Dragonquest XI is a must have, Valkyria Chronicles (1 and 4, not revolution) are good TBS/RPGs (and have demos) that do require some thinking. Action games then Nioh, Nier (Nier has a demo), etc.

      Loads of things on here have demos though, so it’s probably best to try those!

  • Grim_streaker999

    Great to see Wonderboy Dragon’s Trap in there-well worth a go if you haven’t bought it!…But can’t say the same for FDG/Game Atelier not putting up Monster Boy & the Cursed Kingdom! Recently on sale on Switch alongside a demo on Switch & heavily pre-release promoted on that format…& they wondered why they didn’t sell as much on ps4?! Played it on a mate’s ps4, nice game, just the attitude of publisher FDG thats a turn off!

    When will this sale be available in America? Specifically the p5 ultimate edition

  • Ygdrasille
    May 24, 2019 at 11:17 pm PDT

    Um, why Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition (PS3 version) is no longer discounted?? The game is still on the Sale page of the Store, but it’s back to its original price. I thought the Sale was going until 30.05. and was looking forward to purchasing this game. Could someone fix it if it’s an error at the Store perhaps??
