And of course Nintendo people are left out….yeah…. -__-
I don’t think Nintendo allows discounts on their digital stores. I’ve never seen any publishers discount games on the Wii Shop, DSi Shop or the 3DS eShop (that one has not long opened though), not even Nintendo themselves.
We were all given a code to a free download of Super Mario Bros once 😛
There was a recent sale on SEGA games on XBLA, but it didn’t offer the DX add-on to SA.. which I am now going to get 🙂
There was a SEGA sale for the Wii Virtual Console before.
<.< didnt I say something about the discounts before this? lol oh wells I do like how the live users get the discounts as well. D: since we cant get the bundle.
If you did then I didn’t see it, sorry. I was just browsing Facebook and saw the Sonic Facebook post about the deals. I was starting to think they were just going to leave it at the PSN bundle and not give Xbox 360 and PC users anything.
lol its cool I posted it here http://www.sonicstadium.org/2011/06/sonic-generations-demo-and-20th-anniversary-bundle-available-for-download-tomorrow/ my post at the very end so its was kinda my fault why it didnt get noticed haha. but besides that i’m glad they put up discounts better than nothing right?
It looks great but it still annoys me that I don’t have PSN or Xbox live >:|
BTW What happened to the Sonic Unleashed DLC Adventure Packs? where they seperate or did they stop a while ago ? :/
you can get the PC bundle pack! plus they have Sonic Adventure DX Director’s Cut for PC
I think Sega missed a perfect opportunity to give eshop owner the 3ds demo especially today a Thursday seeing that’s Nintendo’s weekly eshop update day.
They could’ve at least put in a Game Gear game on there.
Why don’t they ever do virtual console discounts for wii?
As I said in a comment further up:
“I don’t think Nintendo allows discounts on their digital stores. I’ve never seen any publishers discount games on the Wii Shop, DSi Shop or the 3DS eShop (that one has not long opened though), not even Nintendo themselves.”
this is odd… SEGA has done a sale on the Virtual Console before… Why don’t they do one now?
I really hope they do a Collectors Edition for the 20th anniversary, they would be out of their minds not to, and I myself would be disappointed 🙁 let’s hope for the best to come.
SEGA had a Christmas sale on the Wii Shop Channel a few years back, actually.
Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about that. Still, there must be some sort of strict restrictions in place or something on Nintendo’s part, otherwise discounts would happen on a regular basis across all publishers like on PS Store, Xbox Live Marketplace, Steam, iOS etc…
Why is SONIC 3 & KNUCKLES not available on PSN?????????????????????
Sweet! I’ll be picking up the few I don’t have on XBLA this weekend! ^_^
I would totally get that PC bundle but emulators exist so…

I got the bundle…
IT. IS. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
I like the idea of being able to play it on my computer from steam. Haven’t had a decent game to play on my system for a good while.
