PSN Summer Sale Cuts PS3 Game Prices

Next week Sony will be holding a Summer Sale on PSN. They'll lower the price on 11 downloadable PS3 games, regardless of whether you're a PlayStation Plus subscriber or not.

If you are a PlayStation Plus subscriber, though, you'll get a bigger discount. Subscribers will be able to download the below games for 50% less than usual. Non-subscribers will still get a respectable 30% discount.

• Back to the Future: The Game – Full Series (Sale price $13.99; Plus price $9.79; Regular price $19.99)
• Chime Super Deluxe (Sale price $6.99; Plus price $4.89; Regular price $9.99)
• Dead Space Extraction (Sale price $10.49; Plus price $7.34; Regular price $14.99)
• Hard Corps: Uprising (Sale price $10.49; Plus price $7.34; Regular price $14.99)
• Pac-Man Championship Edition DX (Sale price $6.99; Plus price $4.89; Regular price $9.99)
• PixelJunk Shooter 2 (Sale price $6.99; Plus price $4.89; Regular price $9.99)
• Risk: Factions (Sale price $6.99; Plus price $4.89; Regular price $9.99)
• Shank (Sale price $6.99; Plus price $4.89; Regular price $9.99)

• Tales from Space: About a Blob (Sale price $10.49; Plus price $7.34; Regular price $14.99)

The Summer Sale will begin on July 12th. It will run until July 19th. Note that the sale is only for the North American PSN store. Doesn't look like the European PSN will be getting any game discounts. Sony will, however, be holding a Video Store Summer Sales event in that territory.

"This makes sense, we’ll see what we can draw up! Thanks for the suggestion," said Sony digital distribution manager Ro Hernandez when asked by a PlayStation.Blog reader if a PSP Summer Sale was in the works. Be on the lookout for that, then.
