As everyone's favourite blue hedgehog prepares to celebrate his 20th anniversary, SEGA is preparing to launch the Sonic the Hedgehog 20th Anniversary Event on the Xbox Live Arcade, offering a whole range of Sonic games at discounted prices including reductions of up to 50% on titles like Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 and Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing.

The Sonic 20th Anniversary Event will start on XBLA from June 23rd and will run until July 28th. Other Sonic titles set to get the discount treatment include Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic Adventure, with prices starting from 240 Microsoft Points.

And that's about all we know about the Sonic sale on XBLA for now, but you'll be able to see the full sale on the Xbox Live Marketplace from Thursday.

So is S&K going to be reduced to like 80MSP then, seeing as it's already crazy cheap?

If they could get Sonic Adventure 2 to fit in that window, I'd be happy. Alas, there's no news.

Sonic & Knuckes has been on sale for 120 points twice before and so has Sonic 1, 2, 3 for 200 each, this is not much of a sale to be honest so im hoping the discounts on the newer games are good.

Probably going for at least Sonic Adventure, might pick up Episode 1 if it's 600 points or less.

"Other Sonic titles set to get the discount treatment include Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic Adventure, with prices starting from 240 Microsoft Points."

If Sonic & Knuckles is on deal, then prices MUST be starting from lower than 240MSP, as I believe that is S&K's standard price these days.

Anyway, Sonic 4 for 400MSP and I'm sold. 600MSP again like the last 3 times it's been on sale and I'll carry on waiting.

Already got 1, 2, 3 and Knuckles when they were on sale last time. But I just started playing Adventure, so fingers crossed that they cut the price on the DX upgrade.

Since I have most of those, or almost all of those, the only thing that I can really get out of this is the one that started it all, Sonic the Hedgehog, the very first one.

I got all the classic Sonic games and I got the Dreamcast Collection for the 360 for $10 plus tax. So all I am waiting for is Sonic Episode 1 to reach 400MSP and then maybe I will get it.

I wonder if they will ever announce Episode 2.

I would be so happy if they released STH 4 EP2, and/or SA2 during the sale.

No. Sega said they are still making it, but this time, more like "classic" sonic then the puke of a game that Sonic 4 e1 was..

I don't think sonic and knuckles needs a discount since its already cheap lol. Hopefully the discounts on the other games are a little more than deal of the week, time to build that collection!

Sonic 4 is 800MSP on the marketplace. Well the Australian one at least, so I can see it going down to 400. I'll pick it up if it does. Have every other Sonic arcade game. If they're discounting Games on Demand titles, I hope they put a major discount on Sonic Unleashed too. It's currently priced at 3000MSP!
