PS4: December PS Plus Lineup, Vita Bundle Confirmed; Leaked Thanksgiving Weekend Deals
This December, get ready for loads of free games as Sony teases the PS Plus December lineup for games for the PS4, PS3, and PS Vita.
PlayStation Blog EU has announced its own lineup, which includes RESOGUN and Contrast for some single campaign and extensive online multiplayers. RESOGUN is a side-scroller shooter game that puts multiplayer functionality on a new level complete with social experiences.
Contrast, on the other hand, gives you a character who can shift from the 3D world to the 2D shadows, and you will be the character's best friend in the shadows. Your job is to solve complex puzzles and help the main character find the bottom of her family's troubles for a happy ending.

For the PS3, you have GRID 2 for the platform, and Guacamelee! as a cross-buy titles. For PS Vita games, you have Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed and Grand Theft Liberty City Stories.
Those accessing the PSN via North America can enjoy a different set of titles. PlayStation Blog has also just released its December preview of games for North America, with GRID 2, Borderlands 2 and Dyad for the PS3, and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Urban Trial Freestyle for the PS Vita.
As a last-minute Black Friday deal, select retailers offer the PlayStation Plus 1-year membership at 40% off the regular price, bringing it down to $29.99, so best to check that out before the deal runs dry.

PS4 and PS Vita bundle confirmed for Europe
Aside from the December PS Plus Lineup, Sony has also confirmed the existence of the PS4 and PS Vita bundles headed for Europe for less than £500.
"We're working with our retail partners to put across that proposition as well as we can," said Sony UK's Fergal Gara to Eurogamer. "It'll come to market in a few different shapes nad guises. You may walk in and get a great deal on 'buy a Vita when bought with' type deal. So if you buy a PS4, you can get a Vita for X. And others will say, well here's the Ultimate Bundle and you get all those bits in it."

A timeframe for when these kinds of PS4 deals will be executed was not given, and this may be because of stock availability during this time, since it's still close to the launch date.
It's not surprising to expect the PS4 PS Vita bundles or deals nearer to the Christmas holiday season to fulfill some shopping wish lists.

Thanksgiving Weekend deals to look forward to on PSN
Black Friday won't be the end of deals for the PlayStation Network, at least this is what All for Games News is hinting at with the leaked weekend sale that had appeared for the PSN.
Citing Imgur images that feature a number of games, you can see Diablo 3, The Last of Us, Saints Row 4, Deadpool, BioShock Infinite, and God of War: Ascension as part of the lineup.
Other games that made it to the leak include Dead Island Riptide, Godmode, Rayman: Legends, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blakc List.
The prices range anywhere between $35.99 and $59.99, though the report suggests that this may not yet be the final prices for the actual Thanksgiving Weekend Sale. Of course, it's expected that games or even the PS4 and Xbox One consoles will not be part of the sale, considering that the demand is still high that there are still people queuing to get their hands on Sony's next-gen console.
