There is a 20% off sale at a number of eBay stores using the coupon code CTREAT20:

There is a lot of stuff on sale, but you can limit it to just the games and game hardware here:

In addition, Target's store is doing free shipping on orders over $75.

Humble Store has a pretty sweet Telltale sale on at the moment. Im going to get GOT and Borderlands to complete my collection, the deal works with 3 games so may as well get Jurassic Park which isnt suppose to be that great.

The daily deals look good as well

I might pick up Game of Thrones, but then again I hear such mixed things about it.

If you buy Brothers: ATOTS on Humble Bundle for $3 that's $37 less than PS4. I saw the latter price while browsing the store last night and it's possibly the most obscene price for a game I've seen. It's a good game but about two hours long.

I have brothers and have completed it. Excellent game.

Yeah GOT reviews indicate that its not as strong as some of the other Telltale games but its GOT and I should still enjoy it. Borderlands main games I really enjoyed however the story itself went over my head mostly, I assume Telltale could change that.

So far I have only completed Back to the future from my collection which was fantastic and cannot find any cons, im halfway through Monkey Island which I started straight after Back to the future and my only problems is that there is no hint system when I get stuck and that brings me to the next con is that the puzzles as expected from Monkey Island older games is that they are straight up baffling, however the story and nostalgia keeps me interested.

PLayed first chapter of Walking dead season 1 but shelved it for a while and that is another strong game from what I played so far.

Have the older Sam and Max series which will likely fit into the Monkey Island scenario for me and have Wolf Amongst Us sitting in queue plus season 2 of Walking dead.

Telltale games are perfect for my laptop and to play at work when I get some break time however uni work has put a stop to that in the meantime and I do my assignments  :'(

I had the same difficulty with Monkey Island. I ended up cheating a few times because I found some puzzles too obscure.

I love the Brothers game. It's really damn good. But, I don't love the cost on the PSN. $39 is nuts for what is essentially a three (three?) year old three hour game. It's great, but not that great. Also, no discount for those who already own the PS3 version? Pa-thet-ic.

Anyhow, they'll use it as the PSPlus game again soon no doubt.

$39 seems like a pricing error, or is PSN always that expensive? I thought it would have the standard $15 price tag for a smaller downloadable game, like most games of that size.

Anyway, took advantage of that Telltale create-a-bundle deal. You can add a 99c game and it counts for the 80% off. I ended up getting Walking Dead 400 Days DLC, since I havent played that and heard some good things about it.

Game of thrones supposedly suffers in the 3rd and 4th act, which apparently just follows what will eventually happened in the TV show. I've heard good things about Tales of the Borderlands, though. I just hope both just breaks away from how formulaic their games have become with their choices that barely impact anything other than giving urgency to that moment as opposed to considering what happens after, or the QTEs, that uses a cursor to grab something, pressing left, right depending on what pops up then the event where you have to press A rapidly to fill the bar and then press Y once it's filled etc.

Out of the stuff Telltale have done, Wolf Among Us, Sam & Max Season 3: Devil's Playhouse and Walking Dead have been the most enjoyable. I havent played Back to the Future and dont think I'd bother with Jurrassic Park.

They did increase the price for the PS4 version of Brothers, but definitely not by as much in other regions. I suspect they are trying to correct for exchange rate changes.

The PS4 version is $39.95 in Australia and £14.99 in the UK. The UK price comes out around AU$32.20 today.

The PS3 version is $22.95 in Australia, while £11.99 in the UK. With today's exchange rate that is ~ AU$24.76, so that version is cheaper in Australia today.

However, back in September 2013 the Aussie dollar was stronger, so the UK price would have converted to around AU$20.40. So back then the Australian price was effectively marked up 12% compared to the UK price. The PS4 price is marked up around 24% compared to the UK price, so perhaps they just want a buffer in case the Aussie dollar slides even further.

Alternatively it is just another cynical example of the Australia tax.

If you don't already own them, now's a good time to get the Deus Ex games from Steam.
