(NA) PSN Flash Sale: Surgeon Simulator $0.91 and more (ends 3/23)

I hate that I can't buy PS+ games that I already "own". I resubbed a few weeks ago for a month but now I want to buy Gravity Rush to keep without plus and I can't buy it.

Oh hell, and the Dino Crisis games are on sale, too. I'll go ahead and pick those up for 96 cents then. I have the physical copies and played them to death, but what the fuck.

Guys, confirm for me that MM X4, Klonoa, & BoF4 will work on Vita.

Not sure on X5 since I didn't hate it, but wasn't a huge fan (X6 is easily the least enjoyable).
 
Let me preface this statement by saying this: Sale is amazing. Go get 'em boys.

Now, what is the thought process that goes into clearance-like [and even better] pricing for digital games? They're clearly not taking up any precious shelf room...

Surely the publishers/developers can't be getting much for the sales? Or how does DD content work anyway? Does Sony pay upfront $xxx for XXXX copies of a game then just sell at will and profiting majorly upfront? I'm assuming they've calculated that they're past their "net profit" point, if the aforementioned model is correct, so selling games for $0.90 is all profit at this point?
 
I wish they would do such sales in the PAL store...
Hell, make them PS+ exclusive sales, I don't mind.

btw. Surgeon Simulator PS4 got patched with a coop mode :>

Would you rather get 1,000 sales at $1.00 or sell 10 copies a week at full price?
 
Mega Man X4 - one of the two best Mega Man X games and thus one of the best 2D platformers of all time - for less than a dollar is an insane deal. Jesus.

Everyone should own Noby Noby Boy.

Tokyo Jungle for under a dollar. GET IT.

Slightly tempted by the original Katamari, but I wish We Love Katamari was on sale since that (& the PSP one) is the only one I haven't played.

Also I have waited SOOOOO long for Klonoa to go on sale.....now put Tomba on sale as well.

Edit: I'll throw my opinion in that Gravity Rush's price is completely worth it, unless you wanna see if that PS4 Remaster happens.
