Does playstation have better deals now?

[clank clank pow]

I'd like to her thoughts on this. Years ago I built a gaming pc for steam sales and put the playstation on the back burner. Some time now I've been thinking playstion has had better deals plus free games. Can't say for xbox as i've not seen xbox store in sometime, would like to hear thoughts on xbox aswell.

PSN certainly has free games.......once you've paid your £50 annual subscription.

PSN and Steam does have one thing in common - the publishers of the respective games set the prices within the digital stores. Prices aren't that important either as you can get games on PC very cheap if you shop around plus PC has a far greater selection of titles and if you have the hardware, even better.

True having steam free over PS plus subsription is always a plus.

Steam has many free games without actually having to spend money to be able to play them in the first place like consoles force you to do also.

Now are we talking beta's or full games? I have had some pretty good triple AAA games for free from Playstion store. Not so much luck on steam, but i won't say it doesn't happen cause i'm not always looking on steam for them.

And that's just the normal free to play ones while other games have free weekends or go free to play at times as we have seen with many.

Wish I would have opened the free to play tab before I opened my mouth XD. Thanks for that.

Prices are pretty much on par for the most time. Discounts are similar and non-discounts also.

Prey for example is EUR 14.99 for both
Thief is EUR 4.49 on Steam and EUR 3.99 on PSN.

But there are still huge discrepancies on some titles:
Mad MAx is EUR 4.99 on Steam and 12.99 on PSN
ARK was around EUR 28 on PSN last week, it's 19.79 on Steam now.

But on the other hand I picked up the BF 4, BF 1 and Hardline for 20 and NfS: Rivals, NfS, and NfS: Payback for 30 last week as well. Complete/Deluxe/Premium Edition on ALL OF THEM.

XBox is the around the same.
Big bonus on the consoles are the "free" games that come with the subscription. Quality is highly volatile, but if you pay it anyway to play online it's a huge bonus. Especially if you own more than one supported console.
I'm still trying to clear my PS3 backlog from this.
