Aliens: Isolation + Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f deal on UK PSN

NOTE: If you arrive here for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f, SingOn Christmas song, or SnagFilms, keep reading. They're in the later part of this post.
UPDATE: Expired, replaced with Deal #7

The 12 deals of Christmas just got half-way with Deal #6 live now on PSN Europe, giving discount to Aliens: Isolation (PS4/PS3) and vocaloid game Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f (Vita). So how much will you save from this discount? Keep reading.

 
PS4 Alien: Isolation
On sale for €34.99/AU$47.95/£24.99 (US$39.2)
Price tag in Euro is overpriced at US$43.4

PS3 Alien: Isolation
On sale for €24.99/AU$29.95/£19.99 (US$31.3)
Australian Dollar price is cheaper at US$24.8

Alien: Isolation Season Pass for PS4/PS3
On sale for €16.99/AU$25.95/£13.99 (US$22)

Compared to the full price tag on US PSN, both are cheaper than $49.99 (PS3) and $59.99 (PS4), HK PSN full priced PS4/PS3 version at $39.7, which is the same price with after discount of PS4 version on UK PSN, essentially means that UK price has to be discounted just to get into the same level with HK PSN. Whatever... If you can go Bluray, perhaps it is better to buy the disc instead.

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA f
On sale for €14.99/AU$22.95/£11.99 (US$18.8)
£10.79 (US$17) for Plus member

Obviously the best deal is once again for Vita owners. Full price on US and HK PSN is currently $30. We can't find this game on US and UK Amazon without dealing with third parties. However, I think this digital deal doesn't fare well since Miku mostly have devoted fans, and it seems there will be so many of them who would prefer to go physical just to get the extra stuffs and such.




To put in summary, except for the season pass for Aliens: Isolation, this deal is not that great compared to the Deal #5, but if you want to play these games before Christmas for a bit cheaper, maybe this is the time. See how to set up a UK PSN account if you don't have any European PSN account yet. The registration is free and open to everyone everywhere in the world, not limited to any nationality or place you live, you can check the FAQ if you are in doubtYou can top-up your account from sites such as play-asia or cdkeys.


Not related to the games above, the UK and Finland exclusive PS3 Karaoke app SingOn offering famous Christmas song for free to sing such as: The Christmas Song, Jingle Bell Rock, Sleigh Ride, Frosty The Snowman, Santa Claus is Coming to Town among others. The free song works from your main ID, but if you are interested to purchase the song-pass, you'll have to launch the game from your UK PSN ID as it is the only valid ID for purchase and play the songs. Visit their official site for more information: http://www.singon.com/






Another unrelated news to the games, US PSN got a new app Snagfilms which has so many shows from Indie communities. It also has some classic cartoon such as Popeye, etc. All movies are free to watch from your PS3 no matter where you are (no IP block, no subscription). No words on availability on PS4. Sometimes when you feel bored to play any games, try this app. With just 10MB size, small enough to stay in your PS3 without making any dent in your HDD space.

If you are interested in SnagFilms and have no US PSN account yet, you can set up a new US PSN account. The registration is also free-of-charge, and also open to everyone everywhere in the world.
