Sega’s Slashing Prices on Downloadable Games

Sega’s got some digital stocking stuffers for you to check out, and they’re pretty heavily marked down.

The Holidays often feature some great deals for the shrewd shopper, especially when it comes to digital game purchases. Sega seems to be taking a note from this playbook and has announced a massive slashing of prices across the board, for a number of different systems. The discounts are fairly substantial, especially with titles on XBLA and PSN, though iPhone gamers are certainly being offered some notable price reductions, too.

The PSN customers are getting some pretty major deals, though some of the games aren’t exactly stellar (I seem to recall hearing that Iron Man 2 was pretty dreadful). That said, the iPhone games are pretty fun. I own both Sonic games for my phone and they’re really fun. The sale is running until January 3rd, and it sounds like more titles might be added to the list over the next few days.

Here’s the full list of discounted games, as listed by Sega:
