The "Play Days" promotion, as Sony calls it, knocks dollar-dollar-bills-y'all off the MSRP of pretty much anything that plugs into a PlayStation 3, from Dual Shocks, to Move bundles, charging stations and media remotes. <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/wonderbook">Wonderbook</a> bundles and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/Sports-Champions-2"><em>Sports Champions 2</em></a> will also receive holiday prices starting this Monday.<br /><br />The promotion runs until Saturday, January 12, so folks buying stuff for the PS3 they received during whatever winter-time gift-giving holiday they celebrate will be able to save some scratch as well. Hit the source link below for the full list of discounted products, or watch the above trailer and write very, very quickly.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/15/sonys-play-days-sale-discounts-ps3-accessories-move-bundles/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sony's 'Play Days' sale discounts PS3 accessories, Move bundles</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/15/sonys-play-days-sale-discounts-ps3-accessories-move-bundles/">Sony's 'Play Days' sale discounts PS3 accessories, Move bundles</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 15 Dec 2012 22:30:00 EST.

Sony's motion-controlled follow-up includes five new sportsballs, namely tennis, golf, skiing, bowling and boxing. The demo releasing today throws you onto the court/fairway/slopes with the first three.<br /><br />The Move-supported sports-fest also introduces new features, as outlined by the above video. Beyond fine-tuning like simpler calibration and multiple user profiles, there's the new Party Play mode, more avatar customization, and improvements to Archery. While the game does let you use PS Move, the awesome Tron-like equipment in the video isn't compatible, probably because it's too awesome to exist.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/23/sports-champions-2-demo-finds-the-net-on-psn-later-today/">Sports Champions 2 demo finds the net on PSN later today</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:30:00 EST.

As the follow-up to the PS Move pack-in game, it will include a new archery minigame along with bowling, skiing, boxing, golf, and tennis.<br /><br /><em>Sports Champions 2</em>'s Party Mode also enables groups of players to set up multi-game tournaments.  That sounds like fun for the whole family, except for the <em>socially-awkward</em> fella that took last place in the screen above.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sports-champions-2-8-19-12/">Sports Champions 2 (8/19/12)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sports-champions-2-8-19-12/#5220174"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/20696crazyskier_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sports-champions-2-8-19-12/#5220171"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/20693boxing01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sports-champions-2-8-19-12/#5220172"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/20694boxing02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sports-champions-2-8-19-12/#5220173"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/20695capclothing_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/sports-champions-2-8-19-12/#5220178"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/20700party01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/19/sports-champions-2-is-going-for-gold-october-30/">Sports Champions 2 is going for gold October 30</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 19 Aug 2012 13:30:00 EST.

Sony also promises tweaks like simpler calibration, more opportunities to customize your avatar, and multiple user profiles.<br /><br />The new "Party Play" mode lets users set playlists of matches, then compete for score. "You can create your own match playlist, see photos and voices from each player during the game, and draw something humiliating (or nice!) on the hapless loser," says producer Jeremy Ray. He probably means in the game. You <em>always</em> had the option of drawing on your friends.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/31/sports-champions-2-takes-a-victory-lap-on-ps-move-this-fall/">Sports Champions 2 takes a victory lap on PS Move this fall</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 31 May 2012 10:00:00 EST.
