Just like on Halloween and Black Friday there are many game deals on right now and here’s a short overview.

Flash Sale in US/Canada PSN Store (ends January 5th 2016)

We recommend to purchase in Canada than in the US as it’s a bit cheaper and you save around 10 percent. (example: Wolfenstein – The Old Blood US PSN 5 USD = 4,56 EUR, Canadian PSN 6,25 CAD = 4,13 EUR). You don’t even need a credit card, there’s CAD wallet via PayPal without any financial loss.

Xbox Live Sale (ends 07.01.2016)

Xbox Live Marketplace got a Countdown sale. Especially Gold members save up quite a bit. There are even daily deals this time around. We find Xbox-Now, to be really useful to show the globally cheapest price on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Opposite to the PSN you don’t need a new account to purchase e.g. in Hong Kong where most games are a lot cheaper. You just visit the upcoming link, log-in to your Xbox account on the top right and here you go, just search in the box for the game and it displays the discounted price for Standard or Gold members. We’d recommend being a Gold member, they save quite a lot. Credit cards mostly don’t work, so you can get local currency wallet for Xbox Live via the link below by using PayPal.
