I'd imagine once your subscription expires 'download' will change to 'buy'.
But then I'll miss out on the 66% off. Pretty annoying.
It's currently the same price as two months' PlayStation Plus. Couldn't you just resubscribe for two months when you want to play it?

You could create a new PSN account to buy it and download it on that account, and still play it on your current account.
I took the risk and got Tomb Raider instead, I enjoyed Tomb Raider 2013 and I like exploration. I will have to pick up Uncharted Collection and Uncharted when they are next on sale.
Long loading times.
Personal opinion is that this version will not be receiving upcoming patches because it sold so poorly.

A blurry mess, ha.
It looks great. Holds 1080p or not noticeably worse most of the time.
I must be a lot less sensitive than you.
Everything points to a part 2 of the January Sales starting tomorrow. I still have a couple of games that run till the 20th of January that I might grab but I'm waiting to see if there's something better coming out tomorrow.
EDIT: By tomorrow I mean thursday, not wednesday.

Im expecting SFV and Overwatch
luckily the other games I wanna pick up ends on 21/1 so I can wait and see what comes Before I let loose my back log frenzyThe email that I got from Playstation in Dutch states the following:
This translates to "Part one of our January sale is ending soon, do not miss it!"
So this basically confirms a Part 2. I would expect it to hit tomorrow. Last year part 2 arrived on 06-Jan-2016, which was the first Wednesday of the new year.

I'm tempted by a bunch of other games in this sale like Hitman, Mega Man Collection, Resi 4, Resi 6, Dear Esther, Valkyria Chronicles and Aragami, but I've got a big backlog at the moment, I've bought a bunch of games in the last 8 weeks like Doom, Ratchet & Clank and Darkest Dungeon, and I've been playing more on my phone as well so I don't have time for any new games at the moment.
I wonder what part 2 of the sale will bring. I don't think there's much else that I'm really interested in picking up right now.

Batman VR with 50% discount would be nice.

Some PSP and PS1 games, I hope.
As a new PS4 owner as of Christmas I took advantage of the sale and bought myself Witcher 3 GOTY and Rise of the Tomb Raider, two games that my 2-year old gaming laptop would have struggled with. One thing I wasn't expecting was to be really pleasantly surprised at the process of getting the games onto the system. After a slight hiccup with the Playstation Store where as I bought the games it basically said "we're in maintenance" and shut down (luckily everything went through and I found the games in my purchase history) I set the games off downloading and left the room expecting the download to take forever. About half an hour later I came back to see ROTTR ready to play and Witcher 3 not far off - the ability to download the part of the game you need to get started without downloading the whole thing is amazing. Meant I could jump right into the games while they were still downloading. Truly this is The Future.
I probably couldn't handle a second part to this sale TBH. I can't think what they'd add but if it's half as good as the first it'll decimate my wallet.
So far I picked up:
Ratchet and Clank
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 5
The Bunker
Brothers: a Tale Of Two Sons
Sherlock Holmes: The Devils Daughter
Metal Slug 3
& bought my father-in-law Resident Evil HD.

On a whim i bought hitman yesterday as i think the deal expires today? And the pyshical copy comes out at end of month so price may be high for a bit?
I had a lot of fun on the intro pack over the new year, i hadnt played it since it came out, so seeing the xmas stuff was fun.

The US version isn't that bad, the issue is that the PAL version is 50hz and has a lot of frameskipping. I'm not disapointed to the point where I feel the need to ask for a refund but I've been pestering SCEE and SNK Playmore so they release a 60hz update for the game.
If you have a huge backlog and don't plan to play any of the games right away I'd say pick one or two that entice you the most and let the others for another sale. It's bound to happen.

Yeah, I'd really like to give it a whirl, but honestly by the time I got around to playing it the retail version will probably be like £15.

Got Knack and Bastion which was £4 such a great game I have it on Steam too.
I've been waiting forever for Bastion to go on sale for PS4. I've had it on Steam for awhile but stopped playing shortly into it as I'd rather play on PS4.

Alot of it is reskinned Xillia, the main characters fighting system is unique but the story is long and elongated unnecesasrily, I'm, near the end of it and I bought it at launch, just have no drive to finish it. I liked Xillia as well - despite that one stupid recurring character arc plot, Zestiria also isn't finished - I'm like 60% through it but I've enjoyed what I've played.

Yeah, I can hold on really. I just enjoy the excitement of buying new games almost as much as actually playing them!

I haven't seen any game that would end today, but there are some games like Fifa 17 whose sale lasts till 7th which is likely when the 2nd part begins.
Thanks. Fifa 17 shows on psprices.com as ending in 17 days, while PSN indeed shows the 7th.
So people really should check the store pages and not psprices for availability of the deals!

Get it while it's cheap. Amazing game, and the physical release at the end of the month will probably ensure that the price stays high for a couple of months.
If nothing else, get it now to play the elusive contracts. They're only up for a certain amount of time, so once they're gone, they're gone for good. I picked the game up in September and ended up regretting not doing so sooner. I missed a bunch of elusive targets, including
Gary Busey
Easily my game of 2016.
But I just bought Dragon Quest Builders and Pokemon Moon whilst receiving FFXV, The Last Guardian (which I finished), SMT IV Apocalypse and Majoras Mask 3D for Christmas.....
And next month I will get GR2 day 1 and maybe Yakuza and RE7...
And I still have Cold Steel 2 and DQ7 that I haven't touched since moving to Japan in October.
So I can't really justify it right now. Maybe next sale haha.
It's pretty lazy retread of the first game. Only if you really, really like the battle system of the first game id say give it a pass.
Same here with Hitman. Especially after Absolution seemed to drop to like a £10 a month after release.

No idea about GTA, but I'd be very surprised if you didn't get 6-worth of fun out of Rivals. It's a decent enough driving game.
I got the Platinum Trophy in Vice City. I had no issues with the 50hz/framepacing.

With the PayPal deal where you get an extra £5. Would topping up your account work? Rather than buying something

Well, they tend to update the store later in the day (typically by about lunchtime UK time), but on the other hand this sale went live on a Thursday so the next wave of sale items might also update tomorrow.
What PayPal deal is that?
