With such a massive list of mostly quality games on sale over the next couple of weeks, now seems like a good time to beef up your PSN Wallet and renew your PlayStation Plus membership in order to take full advantage of the $10 back promotion. As for purchase suggestions, I would say that The Last of Us is an absolute steal for anyone who has not already experienced it.
