It may be gift-giving season, but PlayStation Plus delivers gaming gifts all year round, and this week is no exception. While many of you might still be getting acquainted with the PS Vita Plus games, PS3 gamers can welcome BioShock 2 into their Instant Game Collection. Download it for free if you’re a Plus member when the PlayStation Store updates on Tuesday.
Don’t forget that the Music Unlimited offer is still on as well. You can pick up the 1 year subscription for only $12! If you have questions on the service, you may want to check out this handy FAQ. To take advantage of the offer, you’ll need to subscribe from your PS3 or PS Vita Plus enabled account.

December 4th PlayStation Plus Update
BioShock 2 (PS3)
Years after the events of the original BioShock, a monster has begun snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture. Players step into the boots of the most iconic denizen of Rapture (and recent star of PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale), the Big Daddy, as they travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers.
Rockstar Games Collection Edition 1 (PS3)
An amazing value, this collection features Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, L.A. Noire, and Midnight Club: Los Angeles Complete Edition. Plus members can enjoy a 10% discount on this new release to PSN.
Puddle (PS3 and PS Vita Versions)
Experience a brilliantly designed physics-based puzzle/platform game where you must guide a puddle of fluid to its target destination, not by moving the fluid, but by tilting the game world. It’s a unique twist on the puzzle genre and both PS3 and PS Vita versions are 50% off. Please note, this game is not cross-buy or cross-play enabled; so choose the best version for you, or if you’re a big fan, buy both!
We hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s update. Tune in next week where we’ll have another fantastic title to keep you gaming with PlayStation Plus. Head to the PlayStation Plus forums to continue the conversation and find other Plus fans, and make sure you make your voice heard in the comments below. As always, thanks for your feedback and we’ll see you next week!
utter garbage AGAIN!
Just bought Bioshock 2 at Target for $3.
THREE DOLLARS, it’s that wattered down of a game throughout retailers that they practically give out for free.
In Sony’s case, F U!
Seriousaly, why would i download a game that costs only $3?!
I won’t.
Is it possible to CANCEL my PLUS account and resume anytime i want? Say in 2 years when the PS4 actually becomes something worthwhile, unlike all of this PSN garbage?

It’s not even a contest, Europe PS+ wins by a landslide!! I may have even missed some of the EU games because it’s hard to keep track of all the amazing games they’ve gotten. And that’s only the retail games, the PSN games they get are way better too. Keep this post alive so everyone can see how much us PS+ subscribers in North America are getting ripped off!
by the way, WHERE’s THE FREE VITA CONTENT?
PS3 is given free games practically every week, but WHAT THE F is going on with the Vita?
Giving up on it?
Some Plus promotion for Vita, when it doesn’t change for a month.
Since Plus is now just a rental service, with a few less % than before discounts thrown in, why is it that the rare time we get a full ps3 game to RENT it’s ancient? (RE5 or bioshock 2 arent bad games, but they are old and very cheap games…)
Why is the EU renting much newer games, but the NA Plus is only renting out the old ones?
Makes no sense, we don’t get to own the game either way so why can’t NA get more recent rental titles?
I could have rented the last 4 Full PS3 games for less than my 3 month plus subscription, plus had a physical version so no downloading required…
If the focus for Plus is on giving us some rental games, at least rent us something new please, it’s not an unreasonable request.
Oh look!!!… another fps!!!… and it’s ancient too!!!… *i renewed my plus act yesterday… some people just never learn*
Update is anemic compared to SCEE’s PS+ update of the month.

It’s only been like 2 weeks since the start of the Vita’s IGC which was 6 free games. Not every week we can get free games, give them some time I am pretty sure they will have more content this month. But also the Plus is
Based on the PS3 mostly the Vita is a bonus at no extra cost. Now if a Vita is all you got then I guess that would be unfair to not have a Vita based plus service for those people. Also remember the Vita games do not effect the amount of PS3 games given every month.
Guess who’s going to replay Bioshock 2? THIS GUY. I only was able to play this by renting it when it first came out since I didn’t have the money for a full purchase (especially after buying Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare 2 and Borderlands), and only had the chance to play it through once.
So I’m absolutely happy we’ll be getting Bioshock 2 through Plus. I’m going to give that game the time and dedication it deserves (of course that’s after I finish my backlog of games, and my Mass Effect Trilogy playthrough…. but then!..).
Interested in seeing what else you guys have in store!
I think all the people complaining should just give up their PS+ subscriptions, because obviously it’s not doing them any good. I, for one, am excited to play BioShock 2 again. Conversely, I don’t really care about Arkham City, because it’s one of the most overrated games I’ve ever played.
Seriously, guys. Free games. Lots of them. You can’t get bent out of shape over what another territory gets because it’s completely different marketing, licensing, red tape, and publishing agreements. Not to mention you guys are all getting in a tizzy about them getting all this stuff over one month when we just had ONE WEEK announced.
Further more, the people demanding Vita stuff – we just got a whole bunch of Vita games that I really doubt you’re all completely finished with yet. It’s seriouslly been two weeks. Give it time.
And finally, to the people saying that they “disregarded” us wanting monthly updates, it’s been made clear that that’s not something that happens over night. Learn to have some patience. I mean, jesus, seriously. It’s appalling.
Its pretty laughable how many people here are complaining about free stuff and “threatening” to cancel.
You know you can cancel your subscription, right? You guys make it seem as if someone is forcing you to stay subscribed, Vote with your wallet if you are displeased, cancel your membership, instead of making threats to cancel, Actions speak louder than words (Which I doubt many of you will even do, even though you say you will).
Okay I know we get Bioshock for free when we buy Infinite but why give us 2 for free instead of 1 first?
Ps+ you never fail me. I never got around to getting bioshock 2. Just…no reason. And now. FREE! Freaking awesome! But, i still hate the new store. Still to slow and cumbersome. But it’s a small price to pay.
So when will playstation make some official poll where we can request games? Not freebies. I mean to purchase. I have a grocery list of things i’d like to waste money on that i’ve already played. Dark cloud for one. Maybe orphen. Or the kingdom hearts in a collection. The list is…pretty lengthy. But in all reality, HOW do you decide what makes it to the store for older games? (Belated thank you for some classics like shadow/ico. Okami. And the good old FF games)
@155
lol 2010 is ancient? Seriously? So by your insane troll logic, Red Dead Redemption, Borderlands, Vanquish Darksiders, Resident Evil 5, and some of the other games that people have DEMANDED to have because the EYU had them are also ancient and thus not worth our time. Also, we’ve only had one other FPS, compared to th EU who’s had four or five.
Seriously, if you’re going to troll, at least try and not look like an idiot doing it.

EU shows their content monthly; so naturally it’ll appear to be more than how we show it via weekly updates. We’re also looking at monthly updates as well, but there are a number of considerations to review before moving forward with that outlook too. Thanks for the feedback to everyone on that note!
@Morgan I would suggest maybe going with monthy updates since you can change the weekly ones around and I think you might be getting tired of doing the weekly plus updates.
@49 Same game, just the disc isn’t required to play. I have the disc here, but wouldn’t mind the free Plus digital version.
@151 $3? Was it on Clearance? I got it for $12 from Gamestop months ago.
@152 Interesting list, but how many of those games still a Plus offer? I kinda missed out on getting Borderlands since I didn’t get Plus till late Oct.
@159 Agreed.
Weekly updates are important to keep people knowledgable on Plus and discussing it as well. Also, I get paid for my work, so I’m not getting tired of writing posts, lol. =)
However, I think a monthly outlook is a good discussion point for the group which we’ve been reviewing options are, but nothing is set yet. We’d need to make sure it doesn’t impact a few other factors that aren’t publicly viewable, but still nonetheless important. stay tuned
