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!

This is some seriously awesome content! I’m loving all of the Resident Evil stuff and I’ll be sure to use the 50% discounts on both Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica X.
Awesome~
Yes RE 2,3 :D sweet:d
Great update! And it’s so nice to see a heavily commented blog post where it’s almost all positive.
I’m going for PvZ& what the heck, some RE, although I don’t like getting scared, lol. And probably a theme or two.
Yes, it pays to be Plus.
Just as I was starting to regret getting Plus, Sony redeems itself in a big way this month!
Lol I wish it was ready to rock when I woke up. Now I have a whole day of nothing to do >_< xD
Hi i’m from the UK and incredibly jealous, any chance we could get this deal?
Wow at RE4 50%. Mercenaries 3D has been pulling me into the series again and was thinking about getting RE4 at last so I take this offer.:) And even through I HATE the save system in the older games, I put RE1-3 in my download list just in case since they’re free so why not.
This month looks like it should be lots of fun! Since I’m still fairly new to the PS3, I don’t have any of those 10 games, so this will make my playlist significantly longer! Thank-you Sony, please keep the goodies coming!
Yup pretty sick update, kinda impressed with Sony, regained some lost faith, and glad im a plus member! One question tho, anyone know what the 2 weeks only for the ps one re games means? 2 weeks to download or you have the games for 2 weeks (kinda like a full trial)
2 weeks to download
