What's the Best Discount(s) Youve Gotten On Games?

hey if you complete 100% of a game regardless of how long you spend (platinum =/= 100% for a lot of games), and feel no attachment / have no friends or family interested (or old enough) to play the games, why keep them when you can flog them.

You openly said you don't flog them; you play a game to its absolute fullest, then return it for a refund!

same principle, i cant help it if a lot of games take less than 2 weeks to complete (which means I can get a refund, or in the case of amazon, 1 month return policy).

recently I decided to download steam after getting something a few years ago but never getting around to installing it.

To my surprise, a $15 bundle I paid (~£12) ages ago was still valid. this was as part of a charity discount rockstar games was doing for the rainforest alliance. for $15, I got GTA3, vice city, san andreas, GTA4 & episodes from liberty city (it is now the complete edition as steam had to merge them), max payne1,2,3 (including dlc for 3), LA Noire &DLC, manhunt, bully complete edition. whilst I doubt i will play manhunt and max payne, the others are games I enjoyed or in the case of la noire, want to try.

Also got persona 5 ultimate edition in 2018 for £21 (RRp was £84) from playstation store.

So yeah, what's the best discounts you've gotten on games?

persona 5 ultimate for like £15 discounted from £79.99


but the best discounts ultimately were games acquired for free through piracy.


can't really beat "free"

personally i dont support piracy but kudos of p5 ultimate for £15.99 (I paid £21 from ps store). you played p5r?

I've not played Royal, no

ngl I am a bit jelous of Royal coming out with additional content, but I just don't feel the content is worth starting the game again and paying another £40-£50 for it

I was already in kamoshidas castle when i heard royal was like 3 months from getting released

I misjudged how long it would take to complete this castle and got to the end, [beat the boss] and then literally sent the calling card and ran out of time. i played through again from an earlier save point [6 hours replay] and the same thing happened again.

then i went back to the save point it gave me and finally beat the deadline.

After so much replay I was not going to start to game again and buy persona 5 royal as i was getting sick of playing through the same parts.

I got NFS Heat for free because my Uncle didnt ever actually play it and gave it to me and i got cod ww2 half price when it came out so i guess that was lucky

I'd wait till p5r goes on heavy discount. I've completed it and say the new content is great but yeah, not worth the price of a new game

personally i dont support piracy

You write this in the same thread you say you complete a game, even get every Achievement, then take it back for a refund. Exact same result. WTF?

Grow up

You buy games, collect all the trophies, then send them all back for a refund and you're telling me to grow up?

And because I questioned the contradiction?...

...Grow up.

I understand you ethically disagree with Quasa use of retailers returns policy's (and tbh its not something I would do).

But there is a difference between utilising a customer returns policy even if you used the product and piracy.

You might disagree with both, but there is an ethical and legal difference.
