Sega announced that several of their items on the PlayStation Store are now on sale by 40% just in time for Christmas. The Sonic Unleashed packs, usually retailing for $2.99, are now only $1.99.

Gunstar Heroes, the PSN version of the Genesis/Mega Drive classic, is now pegged at $2.99. For Valkyria Chronicles, all three content packs are now priced at $2.99 each as well.
Also on the discount block are numerous downloadable PSP titles, which should be great news for those two of you that have the PSP-go. These include Alien Syndrome, Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars, Sega Rally Revo, Sega Genesis Collection, Sonic Rivals 1 & 2, Super Monkey Ball Adventure. All of these deals are good until Jan. 7th, 2010.
