Twisted Metal Games Discounted For One Week On PSN

The PS3 iteration of vehicular combat game, Twisted Metal, is celebrating its one-year anniversary and, to celebrate, Sony is dishing out the goods with a big sale on all thins Twisted Metal.

Designer/Director David Jaffe dropped by the PlayStation Blog earlier today to talk about the big celebration, saying that, while the latest Twisted Metal wasn’t necessarily a massive hit, the team at developer Eat Sleep Play continues to stay committed to the fans who have stayed committed to their game.

“On behalf of myself and the amazing Twisted Metal teams from Eat Sleep Play and Sony, please allow me to say thanks to all of the Twisted Metal fans who showed up to support this latest explosion of carnage and meaty gameplay,” Jaffe said. “while our online community is by no means the biggest in gaming, it’s so exciting to see that it’s very much alive and kicking. It’s easy to find games and the new players are hitting the scene each and every week.”

Hoping to add even more new players to the roster, Jaffe also announced that, in order to celebrate Twisted Metal’s first year on the PS3, the PlayStaiton Network is hosting a special sale on four of the games, as well as bundling them together for an even deeper discount.

For one week only, both of the original PlayStation hits, Twisted Metal and Twisted Metal 2, will be available for $4.99 a pop. You can also get the PS2’s Twisted Metal Black for $7.99 and the digital version of the PS3’s Twisted Metal for $29.99. If you’re feeling especially pumped for automotive mayhem, you can pick up all four of the above titles for just $39.99 as part of the Twisted Birthday Bundle.

Look for these prices to go live once the PlayStation Store updates later this afternoon.
