If you’re a resident of the US, own a PlayStation 3 and love a good bargain then pay attention.

Sony are running a “12 for ’12″ sale, bringing twelve discounted to the PlayStation Network Store – similar to the “11 for 2011″ sales from last year. From today until January 23 you’ll be able to pick up the twelve selected games at 30% off, although PlayStation Plus subscribers will get 50% off instead. That’s a tidy little saving, especially when you look at the quality of games available:

• PixelJunk SideScroller – Regular $9.99, Sale $6.99, PS Plus $4.89
• PAYDAY: The Heist – Regular $19.99, Sale $13.99, PS Plus $9.79
