Yay for not only Black Friday sales on physical media, but on digital downloads as well! Sega is the latest company to say it wants to encourage iTunes shopping with an app sale. This one has been dubbed the Early Bird Sale, what with Thanksgiving happening November 24, 2011 and the sale starting today, November 22, 2011.

This is a pretty standard sale. Until November 28, 2011, 12 well-known Sega iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch games will be reduced…

Most of the recent sales covered have been physical deals. Items you’ll actually have to go into a store and buy, and probably won’t even get to until next week. However, there’s one sale now available that you can access immediately and digitally. Sega’s decided to do their own kind of holiday shopping thing over the next two weeks. If you own a PS3, you can get one of four Sega Classic downloads for 50% off until November 29, 2011. If you own an Xbox 360, you can get one of six Sega downloads for 50% between November 22-28, 2011. I guess you could consider it a digital Black Friday sale.

Almost all of the sale games are ports of old Genesis, Dreamcast or Arcade games. So you could look at this as an opportunity to reminisce. Unfortunately, there’s no gifting system on place for either PSN or XBLA, so you can’t take advantage of this promotion to get something for someone you love.

Anyways, here are the sale games…

On iTunes there’s a little app called AppAllStar. It’s a handy little program that’s free to download and offers one free app per day that would normally cost you money to obtain. Next week is its AppAllStar Champions Week and there are two games Sega will temporarily make free in honor of the event.

The first game that will go free…

Anyone who needs to blow off some steam, or perhaps just enjoy some old-fashioned, beat’em up goodness, should head to iTunes. Sega’s released another Genesis classic for iOS devices. This time it’s Streets of Rage 2, which is pretty appropriate since the original Street of Rage was released on Apple’s handhelds in November 2010. So we can keep up the pace…

This week on the Xbox Live Arcade, classic puzzler Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo has received an HD remix and is joined by old-school brawler Streets of Rage 2. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo has been enhanced with new graphics, hidden characters, a new “X” mode, and full online play. It can be downloaded for more »

This week’s three additions brings the total count to 93 games available for download through Nintendo’s Wii Shop Channel and playable only on the Wii. New games go live each Monday at 9 a.m. (Pacific Time). Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest (SNES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): This platformer sequel to Donkey Kong more »
