Christmas and New Year is near, do you still have your PS3 lying around? If you do and you are into fighting-genre, you might want to turn it back on while reading this. Chaos Code is currently 600 Yen ($4.9) on JP PSN, that is quite cheap compared to $7.99 sale price a month ago on US PSN, if you missed this title from US PSN, you can now get it cheaper from JP PSN. And if you are curious, yes this game is in English (source). Not only that, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus is also joining Sale section, need more? The original Japanese version of Darkstalkers Ressurection is also on sale. So let's check the list. Oh no PS Plus membership required, the price is for everybody.

Some PSOne and PS2 classics are also in the offer, however it is unable to confirm the English support, Rule of thumb is, these games supposed to be exactly the same as the old games released in Japan, so if you have a friend who have the game, ask them whether it is English-friendly or not, or better, check Youtube.
