Sony Flash Sale includes Gran Turismo 6, Killzone Shadow Fall, and more

Sony announced a Flash Sale on Wednesday that includes popular, brand new titles on all of their platforms.

Here's the list from the PlayStation Blog, and all games on sale are available now at the PlayStation Store. Note: The Flash Sale ends on Friday. PlayStation Plus is not required for these prices:

PS4

• Injustice: Gods Among Us (Ultimate Edition) - $34.99
• Killzone Shadow Fall - $41.99
• Knack - $41.99
• Super Motherload - $7.49 (Cross-buy)
• Contrast - $7.49

PS3

• Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag - $41.99
• Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag (Gold Edition) - $55.99
• Gran Turismo 6 - $41.99
• Madden NFL 25 - $41.99
• Injustice: Gods Among Us (Ultimate Edition) - $34.99
• Super Motherload - $7.49 (Cross-buy)
• Contrast - $7.49

Vita

• Injustice: Gods Among Us (Ultimate Edition) - $20.99
• FIFA 13 - $13.99

Honestly, there aren't that good of deals on this list. Knack and Killzone are found on Amazon two dollars cheaper (including digitally), Madden 25 will soon see a complete drop-off in price, and we've seen Assassin's Creed IV hit $35 or less already in multiple sales.

The only thing I see is either picking up Injustice or Super Motherload on the PS4, grabbing Gran Turismo 6, or picking up Contrast at half off.

PlayStation 4 games available to pre-order on PlayStation 3

Future early adopters of the PlayStation 4 are able to pre-order the next-generation console's games on the PlayStation store.

From Matt Brian of Engadget:

Earlier today, the company rolled out an update for the aging console that makes PlayStation 4 games available to pre-order through the PlayStation Store. The first two digital titles available are SCE Japan Studio's Knack, which comes in at $60, and the free-to-play multiplayer shooter Warframe.

It should be expected that Sony will be adding more titles to this lineup before the November 15th launch date. Expect most if not all of Sony's first-party games along with various third-party games like Call of Duty: Ghosts and Assassin's Creed IV.

Why Warframe is on the list, especially when it's free, is a little puzzling. But perhaps some gamers that receive their consoles just want to power on, log in to PlayStation Network, and just have the console start automatically downloading the games.

Do you believe this feature is necessary while still having to log in to PSN and download the games?

List of Official PlayStation 4 Launch Titles

Here's a list of all 18 titles that will be available for PlayStation 4 on launch day, and it will continue to be updated by IGN. That specific day hasn't been announced yet, but rumors are pointing to November 26th, 2013.

• Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
• Battlefield 4
• Call of Duty: Ghosts
• DC Universe Online
• Diablo 3
• Drive Club (exclusive)
• FIFA 14
• Just Dance 2014
• Killzone Shadow Fall (exclusive)
• Knack (exclusive)
• LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
• Madden NFL 25
• NBA 2K14
• NBA Live 14
• PlanetSide 2
• Skylanders: Swap Force
• Warframe (exclusive?)
• Watch Dogs

I know we're all excited for the continuing adventures of the "Just Dance" series, but luckily the list has a little something for everybody.

The question will be, is this enough for people to pick up a PS4 on launch day? The exclusives all look great, but none of them have sold as well as Microsoft's exclusives and nearly all the other games will also be released on PlayStation 3.

Same question can be posed throughout the launch window even though there are more exclusives like the next inFamous game and Santa Monica Studio's next game, The Order: 1886.

That all depends on how Sony chooses to market these games. I don't have any interest to buy a PS4 until next season at the earliest with an entire backlog of games to play on the PS3. When do you plan to purchase the next system, or does Microsoft have you sold on their Xbox One?
