Online game deals this weekend

This week’s digital download specials range from great indie titles to discounts on the latest AAA offerings. Popular digital distribution services Steam, GOG.com, PSN, and Xbox LIVE are all running specials.

BT games – PlayStation Plus subscription special

BT Games is running a pretty good deal on PlayStation plus subscriptions, essentially costing R1 a day for the subscription. You can get 90 days for R90, or 365 days for R365.

PlayStation Plus offers benefits to PS3 and PS Vita owners, such as plenty of free games, discounts on purchases, cloud saves, and background downloads.

The special is valid until 31 January while stocks last.

Indie Royale Snow Storm bundle

The latest Indie Royale bundle is now live, promoting a range of great titles from various genres that could be lost in the deluge of mainstream game offerings.

The Snow Storm Bundle includes: adventure game Resonance; procedurally generated fantasy RPG/strategy hybrid Hinterland; third person action-puzzler RoboBlitz; arcade gameplay mash-up StarDrone; RTS Project Aftermath; and side-scrolling action game RobotRiot.

Indie Royale uses a floating minimum payment price, which increases as more bundles are purchased. It is currently sitting at just over US$5.
