THE BUZZ: In honor of Thanksgiving / Black Friday / giving people games for cheaper prices, Sega will be running sales on some of their digital titles on both the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace.

Here are the games that’ll be part of the sales:

PlayStation Store (Prices good from now until November 29th):

After Burner Climax – $4.99 (was $9.99)
Comix Zone – $2.99 (was $4.99)
Golden Axe – $2.99 (was $4.99)
Streets of Rage 2 – $2.99 (was $4.99)

Xbox Marketplace (Prices good from November 22nd until the 28th):

Crazy Taxi – 400 Microsoft Points (was 800)
Happy Tree Friends – 400 Microsoft Points (was 800)
OutRun Online Arcade – 400 Microsoft Points (was 800)
Phantasy Star 2 – 200 Microsoft Points (was 400)
SEGA Rally Online Arcade – 400 Microsoft Points (was 800)
Streets of Rage 2 – 200 Microsoft Points (was 400)

EGM’s TAKE: Some good games there for some equally good prices. My biggest recommendations would be Streets of Rage 2 and Phantasy Star II, but I’m also a fan of OutRun Online Arcade.
