These deals never seem that decent do they. Perhaps we should check each off against the disc version for comparison:

Amazon, same version is £24.99 with added artbook https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rise-Tomb-R...omb+raider+ps4

I'd take the £21.99 any day if I hadn't already ordered it off Amazon. I couldn't give a stuff about the artbook but until today, £24.99 was indeed the cheapest it was available anywhere.

12 Deals can throw up the odd gem for sure - I'll keep my eye out.

sure but take into account those of us who account share and pay only half. so when your looking at deals 2 copies of the game for same price please.

Sure, but that goes for any price, not just these sale games. If the game's £45 RRP on PSN then you're already getting it cheaper than physical copy.

For the record I'm not saying it's a bad sale price, I'm just interested in tracking it. I've noted that most of the time the "SUPER SALE PRICE" is usually merely dropping to physical copy prices rather than actually being "cheap", so wanted to see what the reality was through this 12 days of Christmas.

sorry wasnt getting at you personally, i have brought it up in loads of threads when people complain about prices on PSN compared to physical copies being so much cheaper.

It's a reasonable point.

Remember when they used to let us share between six PS3s?! Ahh halcyon days...

That was the last Tomb Raider. And you were ripped off - it was available for around a fiver on PSN a few months ago

Well I succumbed and bought ROTR. Not too sure when I am going to get round to play it.

Probably the same time it bloody finishes downloading. (Arf, Arf!)

I bought it too but it only took about 20 mins to download and install. The game is only 21GB.

Well it depends on your broadband speed, you've obviously got a super fast one. Downloading 21GB on a medium or slow connection would take a long time.

Well mine is 20 MB/sec.

I find after 6pm PSN crawls to about 1 MB/sec tops and it takes ages - whereas if I download in the morning it is between 3-5 MBs/sec

Although my work place was even slower yesterday it was downloading stuff - we needed for work - at a whopping 25 kbs/sec. Our network is not very good.

Deal #2 will be Fallout 4

(£13 on Amazon, though. They'll have to go some to beat that.)

You have until 2pm to bag Rise of the Tomb Raider.

The better value sale seems to be the buy one get one free at the moment. Witcher 3 is on there for £24.99 which I've always wanted, so can get that for £12.50 if I can decide which other game to get from the selection. Nothing tempting me though, maybe the Hasbro 4 in 1 collection to keep the kids amused.

They're pretty much all worth a punt for that kind of money. Not sure how much I believe that list though. We'll see.

Wasn't it £35 in the Black Friday deals? I expect it will be the same.
