Hot on the heels of the Steam Summer Sale, both Microsoft and Sony have two big sales underway for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. Both have some great deals, but which one is better?
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
Sony flash sale was much better for the PS1 classics alone not to mention the other stuff. The ultimate games sale really wasn't that ultimate and while I guess that Microsoft technically had more games for sale none of them were really that reasonable of a price.I almost bought all the stuff they had on the PSN flash sale since Sony sale was cheaper and had a lot more games that interested me.
I'm loving the PS1 classics in this flash sale. My Vita is loving them, too.
I dont even see it as a competition. Sony's sale is for older ps1 games with an addition of a few games that were recently given away on ps+
Microsofts sale is an actual sale. There are plenty of titles that i would've bought have i not already owned them. $5 for Gears 3!??! that's an actual deal by digital "sale" standards.
I'd just like it if we actually ever got these flash sales on the EU PSN :/
Tired of that everything is having to be a competition
