Playstation are running their ‘Big in Japan’ sale, so I thought I’d pull together some of the best discounts for fans of visual novels, JRPGs and anime games generally.
The vast majority of these are 70% discount or better. I have referenced the UK store for these, so there may be slight differences from stores in other regions.

I just found out Gamestop did their PS5 preorders. I missed them again! Whyyyy. Looks like I’ll be playing PS4 a little longer. Were you quick enough to get your preorder in?
I’ve got mine in! Though I’m the only one from the team who has preordered one.
