PSN PLAY is just starting to heat up, and starting today, you can pre-order the first game in this year’s line-up. The Expendables 2 is the first title available for PSN PLAY, and it’s launching first exclusively on PS3!
The Expendables 2 is a co-op arcade-style shoot ‘em up, and takes place just before the events of the upcoming movie of the same name. Up to four players can join up to take part in an action-packed rescue mission spanning a number of exotic locales. If you missed the announcement trailer, be sure to check it out below.

The Expendables 2 hits PSN on July 31 for $14.99, and PlayStation Plus members can nab the game for $11.99 (20% off) during launch week. Pre-order the game now for a free theme based on The Expendables 2.
Come back to the PlayStation Blog next Tuesday for another post with more info on The Expendables 2, and don’t miss out on our special cash voucher savings by purchasing titles in the PSN PLAY line-up. We’ll have more information on the rest of the PSN PLAY titles (Sound Shapes, Papo & Yo, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back soon.
You should consider making the Plus discount valid for the duration of the PSN Play promotion not just launch week. IT would encourage people to buy one last item to get to the next tier for the promotion. I’m interested in Papa & Yo, but might consider the other games later down the road to go with it. Now I have to buy on launch week or else.
That’s good feedback. I think the reason we did that was to ensure that all games got an equal time on the discount. IE: If a game released at the last part of the promotion, then it’d only have the discount for a week or so, whereas if a game released at the start of the promotion, it’d have the whole month. It would have made doing the actual planning with the publishers a bit tough, so making the discount timeframe equal among all the games featured made the most sense on our end. Either way, I hope you find some good stuff to snag!
