Right, I give up. I honestly have no idea how Black Friday became more massive than organised religion, but that’s the fact Jack. You can’t click onto a single homepage without some mention of Black Friday, so I’ve decided to throw in the towel and join in on reporting about cheap stuff. And I’ve got my eye on the current PlayStation Black Friday sale.
Here’s a round-up of the prices, which won’t require you to bulldoze your way through an ocean of aggressive shoppers consumed by the holiday spirit of materialism.
It’s an awight sale on the PlayStation 4. A couple of good deals here and there. The real cracker on the table however, is Wolfenstein: The New Order for $10. Easily one of the best FPS games in recent memory, it’s well worth the price. Throw in the rather superb expansion The Old Blood, and that’s a one-two combination of killing Nazis that is up for rather solid deal.

There’s obviously more than PS4 games up for grabs, in case you’re rocking a PS3 or a PS Vita. Hit this link for more specials. I think I might go for the Hotline Miami sequel. Which will most likely have me shopping for a new TV later in the day, when I give up on a boss fight sequence and murder my flatscreen with the PS4 controller.

You get two games for said sub every month. Granted it’s indie games. But one of them was Rocket League this year

We used to get AAA games. But that was before PS+ was mandatory for online play. Maybe if BC becomes a reality we’ll get some of the older titles. But that’s just speculation

I don’t pay R2000 for PS+ subscription??
Mind you I suck donkey balls with maffs.
Original PS+ Sub was about R500… So R500 * 300% = R2000
Please correct me!

November 27, 2015 at 14:01
heh maffs

Sageville
November 27, 2015 at 14:17
I always thought:
500 x (1 + 10/100) = 550 (10% Increase)
so then wouldn’t a 300% increase be:
500 x (1 + 300/100) = R2000?
Captain JJ never changes
November 27, 2015 at 14:20
That’s 500 with 300% increase, correct.
But 500 increased at 300% is R1,500.
This is why word sums are terrible.

Sorry exaggerating for effect. My last 12 month subscription from the PS store was R374 (may have been a special ) and then it was increased to R750.
