PlayStation Summer Blast Sale Starts July 2

Posted By: Vincent Parisi In: Gaming News, Playstation 3, PSP / Vita On: 01 Jul

I hope you like summer, but love summer savings even more, because this week is absolutely nutty when it comes to discounts. Microsoft already announced their Ultimate Game Sale going down this week, but Sony has countered with a discounting bonanza of their own. Dubbed the “PlayStation Summer Blast Sale,” a number of titles will have their prices slashed for all PSN users, with PS+ subscribers getting a bonus savings boost on top for their support. Here’s the full list of everything that’s going on sale over the next two weeks:

July 2-9:

The Amazing Spider-Man (PS3)
Batman Arkham Asylum (PS3)
Call Of Duty Black Ops II (PS3)
Mortal Kombat (PS Vita)
Mortal Kombat – (PS3)
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (PS3)
Ratchet & Clank Collection (PS3)
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game (PS3)
Shadow of the Colossus (PS3)
The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest (PS Vita/PSP)

July 9-16:

Alice: Madness Returns (PS3)
Fast & Furious Showdown (PS3)
Fight Night Champion – Full Game (PS3)

X-Men (PS3)

To see how much each title will be offered for, including the regular PSN discounts and PS+ bonus savings, visit the official PlayStation blog page listing here. Between this summer sale, the usual PS+ discounts, and combined Xbox’s Games with Gold, Ultimate Game Sale, and Summer of Arcade, the next two months are going to be a paradise for beating the usual summer drought. I can’t wait to take advantage of all these great discounts.
