Before we get to what’s coming to PlayStation Plus, we wanted to let you know that starting today, we’re making a slight change to how we communicate PlayStation Plus updates. Instead of posting twice per month on what’s coming to Plus, we’re going to be making one post that gives an overview of all the content that’s hitting Plus in that particular month. So today’s post will cover content coming in September, and the next post will hit in the first Monday of October. Of course, with every week’s Store Update post, you’ll know what’s going on the Store for Plus on that week.
Now to the good stuff! We’ve got some great content this month coming free to Plus subscribers including PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies, the furious shoot-em-up Astro Tripper, and the final game in the SEGA Genesis Collection, Altered Beast. The value of all three of these titles adds up to more than a $24 savings, which doesn’t include the additional minis and PSone Classics you’ll get this month too. This month also marks a special occasion as we’re celebrating the Resident Evil 15th Anniversary with PSone Classics: Resident Evil Director’s Cut, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3, all free to PlayStation Plus subscribers starting 9/20, for 2 weeks only. In other PSone Classic news, Jet Moto will also be free starting tomorrow, 9/6.
On the discount side of things, Resident Evil 4 (releasing 9/20 on PSN) and Resident Evil Code Veronica (releasing on 9/27 on PSN) will be 50% off for Plus subscribers as part of the RE 15th Anniversary special. We’ll also offer for 1 week an additional 50% off select LucasArts PSP content on sale for PSN . Check the list below for all the titles in this lineup as well as the other discounts.
There’s tons more including new Full Game Trials, free themes and avatars; all will be coming on the dates noted below for September. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and enjoy!

Great update, I just hope that we’ll see something similar in Europe too.
I have no idea why Sony handles that stuff so complicated anyway, if Steam and others manage to handle a global audience, why can’t Sony? All this second and third class treatment of international customer seems really outdated in this days.
That’s an insane amount of awesome content. My only question is how much will R4 be in general? I’m seriously thinking about picking it up. Especially with every other Resident Evil game. I’m surprised they didn’t release R5 via download with this..
BTW, when the auto update bug going to be fixed. Mine still does not auto update…..
awesome update cant wait
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
+10 points to Capcom. Hell of a way to promote the HD re-releases.
The last two weeks alone pays for the PlayStation Plus membership. I’m definitely glad I stuck with the program this long. September is definitely the month to be a PS3/PSP owner.
For the free RE games for 2 weeks, does that mean you can only play it free for two weeks or you have two weeks to get it free?
As long as you’re a Plus subscriber, you’ll have access to any of the free content you download as part of Plus.
