Last week you welcomed Starhawk’s single-player campaign into your gaming collection for free as a PlayStation Plus member. This week we continue to roll out even more content with NFL Blitz, coming free to Plus! Please note that Borderlands will be leaving Plus with this week’s PlayStation Store update, so make sure you grab it while you can.
Don’t have PlayStation Plus? Go to the PlayStation Store on your PS3 or click here to get access.
October 2nd PlayStation Plus Update
NFL Blitz — Free for PlayStation Plus Members
Alex Kidd in Miracle World — 80% discount for PlayStation Plus Members (Regular Price: $4.99, PS Plus Price: $1.00)
Spelunker HD — 50% discount (Regular Price: $9.99, PS Plus Price: $5.00) All DLC 50% Off (Regular Price: $1.99, PS Plus Price: $1.00)
Lastly, I wanted to leave you guys with a Plus tip to help manage your benefits as a Plus member. If you’re low on HDD space but don’t want to miss out on any of the content in Plus, you can still click download, but then cancel the download. As long as you’re a Plus member you’ll be entitled to download it in the future, even if it’s not in Plus at that time.
That’s it for this week. Make sure you check out tomorrow’s PlayStation Store update post to see all the details for this week’s Plus update, and come back next week when we’ll have more great Plus news to share.
Also, we’d love to know your thoughts as to what you enjoyed most about Plus in the month of September. Feel free to explain your vote in the comments, or in the Plus section in the PlayStation Community forums.

I’m not a fan of sports game. But I admit, it’s nice to see you guys mix it up. Keep up the good work.
Would be great to have these polls within the PS Store and a Coming Soon section within the PS Plus area would be great also! :)
@144 blah..blah…blah. We get it. You and lisatsunami are becoming broken records now.
i do appreciate the poll though. This should help you guys decide what content the majority of people want.
Totally stoked for this! The Blitz games are so fun! Loving PS+ big time right now!
Wow another plus update and another bad game, come on really Blitz this is sad guess I need to look into another way to spend my money. Plus has became a waste of my time and money over the last few months.
i really hope the PS All Stars Beta is still planned for Plus members. Its releasing next month, so i’m hoping the beta goes out in October to give them time to draw feedback from it.
I would also like confirmation that the 20 characters announced so far are the final roster. if so, thats kinda disappointing.
I want some free horror games this month, in celebration of Halloween.
Hope we can get back to Borderland quality games. I find PS+ to be an excellent value, but I can’t help but be a bit jealous with what EU has been getting. Hopefully we can get some quality games like they have been receiving.
Morgan why are the big discounts less frequent? Also why are Pulse & Qore gone? Even the avatars have decreased in appearance. If it’s because of the IGC I’d rather it not return next year.
Not crazy about this week’s update, bring it next week! I think I also liked it better when we got all of the Plus updates in one post.
I like the poll idea, definetly more of those!
Agreed with people’s idea for a scary game for Halloween *cough* Bioshock 2 *cough* *cough* :D
@149: How did you come to that conclusion? It’s probably the first time I’ve ever said anything of the sort so please do tell how I’ve become a broken record?
Wow. I haven’t played Alex Kidd in, like, 15 years. I didn’t even know that it was on PSN. Are there more Master System games on PSN and is there somewhere particular I should be browsing on the Store for them?
yes I have been wanting to play nfl blitz
Hey Morgan,
Speaking of Plus coming to Vita, have you guys settled on a number for the IGC? Will it be 12 like with the PS3 or is that soming that has yet to be decided?
Thanks!
why are the same free games on there from months ago?
why cant we have 6-8 new free games every month?
While I love Free Avatars and Themes, which I can keep despite my subscription (as used to be true of DLC), and Upgrading Online Game Save Storage to 1GB, which really takes a load off my mind, I’d say Release Week Discounts were the best incentive. What free games we get is always gonna be a grab-bag, but offering a discount NOW or new releases really incenses me to delve in rather than hold out for an inevitable sale. Now, if this was back in, what, March, then getting access to Journey a week early (with a theme from its prepurchase) was so nice.
Couple questions:
1) Got approved for the PS Capital One card, but it’s coming in a week. Will the release discoutns for Tokyo Jungle and Hell Yeah! still be there this coming week?
2) Speaking of for-keeps DLC, will the DLC we got for free before that change still be permanent for our accounts, or are they retroactively affected?
I have contemplating buying btitz thanks sony YOU RULE!!!!!!!!!! Plus is awesome!!!!!
for the PSN+ poll on this page, it won’t let me pick all the options I want
Starhawk single player for free was great
borderlands free was ok, but I already had it for another system so i got it but never plan on playing it.
the free DLC for tokyo jungle + discount on the game was awesome, thanks!
in order of awesome
– free games
– free DLC for the games
-discounts on games/DLC
-game trials
– free avatar stuff
– week early access to games
Morgan,
Great another OLD PSN game for PLUS user, where are the FULL PS3 games. Oh wait I forgot we have to wait till next week, next week after that or next month, which you keep on repeating. And again its next week or next month and still the same thing, an old PSN game. Now what next, are you going telling us wait till you see what coming next week.OH wait, you did already!!!!! This is really getting old.
I was excited about the IGC at first but now its all OLD PSN or just half a game, and yes I know that Starhawk was just a bonus for PLUS user, but the Walking Dead was just a half a game no matter what you tell us. As for a NEW PSN GAME like DD NEON was a joke. Worst game ever.
Now you guys are putting Spelunker HD on sale again, come on !!!!! Well at least I can say that the NEW DLC is the only good thing that came out of the PLUS announcement today. And why is Infamous 2 and LBP2 still in the IGC? Don’t you think its time to rotate those 2 games out.
Just look at the poll, it says everything about what we want, and what we want are full on retail titles!
really nfl blitz come on i paid 50 bucks a year for ps+ give me something a little better then that like the borderlands game that was a good idea but please give out real games not this crap
I think the POLL pretty much say it all ……. FULL PS3 RETAIL GAMES !!!!!!!!!! Which we been telling you folks at SONY for how long now!!
I personally don’t play sports games, but I don’t mind there being a fun option on PS+ for sports games fans. And hey, it’s free, so maybe I’ll try it sometime.
I dont play football games, so I am a little disappointed this week.
We haven’t had a free PS1 game for a long time now. Last time, if i can remember, it was FFV?
a crappy sports game? Really Sony? Europe gets Darksiders and Red Dead Redemption, but get a crappy football game? wtf is this>>>>>???
give us some real things, not like this sh** ….sony, you will not get any new ps plus members for this freaky crappy update, I AM REALY DISAPPOINTED…..THIS IS THE LAAAAST PLUS FOR ME WITH SONY, I WILL LEAVE FOR MY XBOX LIVE, STILL BETTER THAN THIS CRAPPY UPDATES…..WHO’S WITH ME GUYS???
Morgan,
After being a plus member since day one, im happy to say that the service only keeps getting better.
Ever since you took charge, things have gone from “okay” to “amazing”.
I say this especially since I just bought my vita a couple of weeks ago (really loving Gravity Rush and Little Big Planet Vita) and the news of plus subscriptions carrying over to the vita is simply amazing.
I cannot emphasize how happy I am with this product.
Seriously, you are the man. Keep being damn good at your job. I think many Sony employees should look to you as the prime example of how to keep customers happy. Keep up the great work.
I should write a letter. I spend easily over a grand a year on games (most from the psn store). Id like to think my voice counts for something in that regard.
Your voice definitely counts and that’s very kind of you to say, and it’s appreciated, thank you. I’m honored to be a part of an incredibly collaborative team here that works through tons of challenges to bring you guys the best for Plus. As long as you guys are happy, we’re happy, and we won’t stop until we’ve won over every PlayStation gamer, and beyond.
