Sonic Generations demo out, too

For those of you who missed the last few Sonic sales, here is your chance to snag the epic series for a low price.

The following Sonic games are on sale:
Sonic 4: Episode I - 1200 MSP 800 MSP
Sonic The Hedgehog (Arcade) - 400 MSP 240 MSP
Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - 400 MSP 240 MSP
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 - 400 MSP 240 MSP
Sonic & Knuckles - 240 MSP 120 MSP
Sonic Adventure - 800 MSP 400 MSP

The following add-ons have gone on sale as well:

Coinciding with Sonic's 20th birthday, SEGA has released a Sonic Generations demo available to download.

Edit:

The sale runs from today until June 28th, NOT July 28th, so you don't quite have as much time as previously thought.

Already own them all. Is the DX Upgrade for Sonic Adventure worth it? I bought SA ages ago, never started yet.

I want episode 4, but 800 is still a bit much for me given its luke warm reception. I think this is about the third or fourth time i've seen these for sale now too.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 ep1 WP7 should have been included. He feels lonley with his possible low sales?

Good Timing...just got the Dreamcast Collection, now i can get the Sonic Adventure DX Content too =)
(Wonder why the PC Dreamcast Collection already IS the DX Version and you have to buy the DX DLC on xbox *grml*)

Lavindathar said:Already own them all. Is the DX Upgrade for Sonic Adventure worth it? I bought SA ages ago, never started yet.It adds Mission Mode, which for Sonic mostly seems to be "Get to a specific spot in a specific level and collect some arbitrary item." Haven't tried it as the other characters yet.

It also adds Metal Sonic, if you get all the emblems.

I'd say play the main game and then decide if you want to go through all that.
Posted on 23 June 11 at 14:11
Sonic games for the same price as a theme or a prop, what a bargain!

Pity I already have them all 200/200.

May get Sonic 4.

EVERYONE on Live should buy S & K 120msp is a steal, possibly the best deal ever on Xbox.

Nice sale to go with the 20th Anniversary.
Shame I have like all of these games off of previous deals.

Still, nice to see some of the DLC go on sale too! Might look into that.
