Happy future birthday!
You deserve a chilidog for your work.

19 years of sonic goodness in these 4 games.

Looking forward to sonic 4 episode 1

19 years since Sonic hit the Sega MegaDrive/Genesis, seems like yesterday, now I feel my age!

actually no i’m wrong… it was Sega Master System wasnt it? Still makes me feel old!

Sweet! Already have 1 & 2, looks like the perfect time to pick up 3 and S&N.

Hmmm, sounds awesome but I already have all of those. I have all the achieves for S3 and SK and most for S1 and S2. Good games nonetheless.

@Stigfish
No you were right the first time. Sonic debut on the Genesis, then they ported a less flashier version to the Master System.
Too bad I already have all of these games, but for anyone that doesn’t these prices are a steal. You should buy them all if you haven’t all ready.

If I didn’t already have Sonic’s UGC, I might have bought these.

I want Sega CD.

I just noticed PSN gets a 2 week deal on Sonic stuff, iTunes AppStore gets 1 week, and Xbox Live gets only one day? What’s up with that?

happy birthday Sonic,its a shame Sonic Adventure couldn’t be out on XBLA in time for this

i still need to pick up Sonic 3 and S+K

And the PSN sale has more content, DLC on Sonic 06 and Unleashed. However they don’t have any of these games.
To be fair, it’s content nobody should buy but it’s the thought that counts.
But yeah, make these deals last longer, MS.

You liars, they pop up as 400ms to me. Seriously, dicks.

besides, Sonic’s dead, he’s not doing anything new and interesting and the only people that care are Die Hard Sonic Fans, Furries and Chris-Chan.

I re-read, Thursday. But still, I’ll spam posts until my opinions are bible.

some of the people that post here, and on other gaming sites, are downright rude. when did this become OK?

/facepalm – and not for the first time.

When the paddle was taken out of the school and adults told children that we could learn from them.

Got all of these already on the Megadrive collection unfortunately. It’s a shame that doesnt include seperate achievements for the sonic games but it’s definitely not worth buying the games again just for that.

Nowadays Sonic isn’t as flashy and cool as it used to be, I understand that’s why peope dare to say Sonic’s dead. Let’s assume that’s true, now; who cares? Freddy Mercury (and the list goes on) is dead but it won’t stop Bohemian Rapsody being an awesome song and part of history. When Sonic came out it was like looking at 3D graphics to me.

I’m glad Microsoft keeps up with the deal streak. I won’t take them cause already own some both for genesis, MS, gamegear and even the 360′s ultimate genesis compilation so it won’t make much sense (in my case) to download those.

High five!

Sonic the Hedgehog for Genesis was one of the most memorable gaming experiences I have had. Back then, it was state-of-the-art in graphics and sound. The levels with the night sky were beautiful and had great music. Sonic trumped Mario because he was designed for an older audience. It was the first time games grew up.

@Zack Dollars, Sonic was never state-of-the-art (with all of it’s 64 colors or whatever) or designed for an older audience. My goodness it’s a cartoon hedgehog, lol. It just wasn’t as goofy looking as Mario’s puffy world.

I think I’ll wait until next year for the 20th Anniversary Deal. I’m sure these will be 100 points each for the 20th Anniversary. 19th is a stretch.

@mccalejk: You have clearly don’t remember blast processing. lol

@mccalejk: You clearly don’t remember blast processing. lol

Will we get Sonic CD for the 20th anniversary? Pretty please?

@Kroesis
I did say I re-read it and saw Thursday.

Already own 1 & 2, but this is a perfect time to pick up the third one… and 19 yrs, damn now i feel old lol. I remember playing sonic 1 on the sega genesis for hours on end.

19 years ago? Thanks for making me feel old.

I wish i cared about sonic like i used to.
I guess when Sonic Adventure comes on XBLA, then i will enjoy it sonic again.

I still have the first one for my sega genesis. And it still works! It is still more challenging than most games I play today.

Thanks for making me feel old Microsoft.

I already have all of them.

I only have Sonic 2. I think I bought it when it was a deal in the past. I’ll probably pick up the other 3 today.

While it is the 24th right now, the sale prices aren’t there yet.

So has Dr Robotnik invaded Microsoft and stopped this offer then?

Yeah, I just checked the prices online (I plan on getting 2, 3, and S&K) but they are still listed as 400. Oh well, I’ll check back later in the day.

I would of thought MN or his staff read this comments, and ban the users. Oh well.

Sonic 3 and S&K (already have 1 & 2) are still showing as 400msp for me on the marketplace.

240msp now!

Only on S&K though?

Sonic 3 is still 400msp…

They’re showing up as 400ms, because Microsoft lied, and I was right in the first post…well either that or they’re asleep atm and you have to wait until 6pm, because they do that. Just use Emulators and Roms if you really want to play it so badly.

American times. Although I have noted that sometimes the marketplace takes a while to update itself.

Anyway, all the prices are up now, for something like 8 hours, they’ll take them down at midnight like they usually do. Showing that it’s not a day sale after all because it dosen’t last 24 hours.

Yay! Prices are all correct. Purchased 2,3, and S&K. Now all I have to do is wait till I get a chance to turn my box on to download and play them!

Can somebody help me. If I have to choose just one, Which should it be?

I already have all of them, and all of the achievements for each one. I do like how you can use the Sonic and Knuckles game and link it with Sonic 2 if you have that as well. Same as 3.

Picked up Sonic 3, Never played it before strangely but will now.

@chiruno99

How about getting a life?

If I didn’t have a life I’d be dead silly. Common sense.

gotta get that sonic

Never owned a sega system. Good deals but playing games that are this old is like a punishment to me… Hurts my eyes.
