Thought I would make a thread for cheap deals for PSN, Steam, whatever.. If it's cheap and good, let us know about it.
For anyone interested, For PS3- Two Worlds 2 Game of the Year Edition is on sale for $9.99 and it only takes up just over 4GB. I tried it about a year ago for the 360 and it didn't seem too bad.
The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean is only $20 at Amazon.com right now, shipped by Amazon, qualifying for free shipping if your order is $25+, with only 3 copies left. This title usually goes for a fair amount more these days, as it's pretty rare, though the asking prices of its predecessor in the series are way higher.
If you're in an importing mood, Play-Asia.com is having a big sale where almost everything that's in stock is 20% off. I'm eyeing something myself. . . .

Say what you want about the translation, at least Bandai put out the whole trilogy. Didn't even skimp on the manual, all color, unlike a lot of other companies.
Blaaaargh, I relented and ordered Sengoku Cannon from the Play-Asia.com sale. The discount and free shipping dropped the price ~$8 lower than its previous minimum, and sensing that I might never see it any lower, I got it. Turns out I got the last one, too (maybe it was even the only one). Elsewhere in the sale, I ordered an expensive anime DVD that was, again, probably the lowest price I'll ever see it. These unplanned purchases, though, will force some budget cutting for the month. :(
Incidentally, if anyone's interested in Enslaved, PS3 version, it's $10 at Newegg.com.

Dodonpachi Resurrection(360) is available at zavvi for 10.95(pounds) 99cent international delivery. Works on PAL and NTSC-U platforms.

Which is why I haven't been playing my PSP lately... got so many good deals on 360 games since July I must have bought 15 games.
It's a little late for me to be noting this here, but Best Buy is on its second huge gaming blowout sale of the past few weeks (selection is viewable at their website). Last time, I picked up a $15 Final Fantasy XIII-2, with the novella, as well as a $10 Deus Ex: Human Revolution later on. This time, a few days ago, I picked up Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest and Child of Eden for $10 apiece. I also got Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection for the same price, but I'm not sure if I should keep or return it. I already have FF4 in Final Fantasy Chronicles (PS1) and the polygon-graphics FF4 for the DS; is FFIV: The After Years worth it for getting the game a third time? That's not a rhetorical question, so please give me some opinions.
I popped my Chronicles FF4 disc into my PS3 and played up until Cecil takes Rydia to an inn. No slowdown; battles and menus kicked off right away, without loading delays. It seems to be the only remake Square did on the PS1 that doesn't suffer in that way. However, playing the game reminded me of how primitive the game's graphics are, being an early SNES title (there was also some bizarre flashing in certain backgrounds, possibly an incompatibility symptom on the PS3). Things probably come out looking much better on the PSP.
the code in it to download Cecil's Duodecim alternate
Eh? The packaging makes no reference to anything like that. Was that a preorder bonus or something?
Has anyone played The After Years and can comment on how substantial it is, as far as gameplay content?
The DVD I ordered from the Play-Asia.com sale arrived today. As I had suspected, the final copies they had in stock were, in fact, first editions. :) Play-Asia, in my experience, typically does not restock movies and music after their initial allotment (i.e., items go from "ships in 24 hours" to "ships in x days" once they run out, and the status rarely if ever reverts). So the one I ordered, being in stock, stood a good chance of being a first edition.

Pretty sure the code was available in all first prints of FFIV Complete. I have it in my copy.
Update: Yup I was right, according to FF Wikia:
First print run copies of the NTSC versions of the game contain the product code for the Dissidia 012 DLC for Cecil, and will also include five bonus art cards featuring Amano's character designs.
Sorry. I've never played After Years. Heck, I haven't finished FFIV yet. I'm at the final dungeon and getting my ass kicked.
Was there a sticker on the outer plastic wrapping or something that said the game contained that stuff? Then again, my copy, being from a Best Buy store this long after release, is probably not a first print. If it definitely contained those bonus art cards, though, I'd probably stop waffling on whether to keep it or not.

@ onmode-ky - I'm not much help for your FF question, I'm still on the main story and haven't touched the After Years. My personal preference was to get the game from PSN. It's one of the main games I was playing on my Vita and it looks soooo clear on it. The graphics are updated from the original and not anything like the big headed kid DS version.

There wasn't one on The 3rd Birthday. They had the Aya Brea Lightning alternate code in them. My Walmart has had the same copies of FFIV in since release, but I don't want to spend $20 on a game I don't want just to get a code.

I found Max Payne 3 at a Wal Mart in Ontario Canada for $20. Thought that was a good deal for a game with 87/100 at Metacritic and it only came out in May. The lady who got the game from the display case asked if I wanted the regular one on its own or the one bundled with GTA 4 Liberty City Stories. Well that deal got better. 2 for $20.
Also I picked up Darksider 2 at $60 which is normal, but it came bundled with the first game.
I never got the game, but I did wish that Kaine's in-game appearance were closer to her original character design work drawings. More stylized, leggier.
Newegg.com is doing another coupon on game preorders. This time, the code EMCNBHJ256 gets you $12 off preorders of $49.99 and up. It expires in 2 days, though. I'm debating whether to use the code on Ni no Kuni or spend twice as much money on the Wizard's Edition of the game at the Ninostarter. Hmm, maybe order 2 copies of the Wizard's Edition and sell one of them unopened for a profit a year later to help cover the cost of the one that gets opened--except that scenario assumes there will actually be a profit made from the sale.
They're not the only ones. I saw that at Best Buy, too. Basically, it didn't sell well and is being clearanced out. Looking at some discussion on this a while back (it's been at this price for a few weeks, at least), I found that the display is good but has a faulty power supply. If it dies within the warranty period, though, it can be replaced (with a fixed design) free, as I recall, so the recommendation I read was to buy it, run it nonstop to kill the power supply, and get it replaced. Then, you're set with a good and cheap 3D monitor.
I can find a number of things to wish were done differently in Nier, but Kaine's character design ain't one of them!
Just so we know we're on the same page, though, have you actually seen any of her original design drawings?
I'm seriously contemplating Amazon.com for Sly Cooper Collection and Jak & Daxter Collection, which they're selling for $20 apiece (the latter is currently out of stock from them, though). Must wait until my budget heals first. . . . I dove for too many deals between 07/22 and 08/22.

Namco's Ninostarter got extended through the Labor Day weekend, but now it's over. And, to my disappointment, the Wizard Edition was apparently only available while the Ninostarter was running; I'd thought it would be up for ordering through to the release date, with the Ninostarter just being a limited time promo. But, no, the Wizard Edition can't be ordered now.
