Deal #5 of Christmas in UK PSN is just too shame...



Deal #4 has just expired and replaced with Deal #5 and this time Destiny is "cheaper" in this offer. If you only have UK PSN as your option, that is. So we decided to let this deal pass. Here's why:

The standard digital version of Destiny on PS4 is being "on sale" for £35 ($54.9), PS3 is £30 ($47.1). While both are up to $10 cheaper than the current full priced Destiny on US PSN, both discount are pale compared to HK PSN full price: £32.4 ($50.9) for PS4 or PS3. And in the end you don't save much and perhaps it is better to buy the Bluray instead. We think UK PSN can do better than this.

Destiny Guardian Edition is not better than the standard one, the sale price is £54.99 ($86.3) for PS4 or PS3. It is cheaper but not a wow supercheap compared to the full price $89.9 (PS4/PS3) on US PSN and even pale again in comparison with HK PSN full price: £51.6 ($81) for PS4 or PS3.
While this is a good news for everyone who are waiting for UK price to be as cheap as US or even HK PSN, as a sale this is quite disappointing. Especially since US and HK PSN are also accessible from your own PS4/PS3 and from your own sofa.

Vita owners are being offered Street Fighter x Tekken. And this is actually the only highlight in this deal. It is on sale for €8.99/AU$13.45/£7.39 (US$11.6) or £6.65 (US$10.4) with Plus. As comparison Amazon UK price is £21.99 (Physical), Amazon.com is $21.99 (Physical). Then again, this game is currently being offered as free-to-play IGC line-up on Japan PS Plus and it's in English.

We hope Deal #6 is going to be better.
