So many of you complain that you are ‘dying’ to play a game. Or can’t wait to get a game. Or want a game soooo bad. Just buy it. Lowlife losers expect the world handed to them. Sony gives far far more free than any other gaming company. (Steam has better sales, but iI don’t recall much FREE) so stop being so rude, be greatful of whatever you get considering its costing you Penny’s at best.
So three games I already own, two of which I’ve owned for more than a year. And Vita games will remain worthless to me until the Vita gets a significant price drop and Sony rethinks its proprietary memory nonsense.
I’ve never been quite so disappointed in Plus before.
wow nice update, it’s a shame i already have SR3, Portal2, machinarium, and deus ex on steam BUT those are really good games, ahahah lots of AAA gotta look good on E3 sony ;)
With all these PS Vita games in the past few months, I’m sorely tempted to pick up a Vita! I made sure to hit download on all of them so they’re tied to my account, so it’d be nice to pick up a console and already have a game library!
oh i am happy we are finally lost the lunch title retail was up for ever and now I was going to get saint row the third two month on sale then sold on me I am happy that I am a plus member now for a whole year
I have a feeling one or more of the Uncharted games will enter the IGC after Sony’s E3 conference. It can’t be a coincidence that the Last of Us launches on the Friday that same week, either.
Wow, that’s a really good update for this month. I’m looking forward to Deus Ex and Zero Escape especially. And to finding out what these E3 surprises might be.
Okay, is there a different blog I don’t know about? According to the time stamps this released 2 hours ago, but I just checked 30 minutes ago and it wasn’t here. I’ll never be able to get the first post and assert my awesome waiting ability by proclaiming “First” and saying nothing more.
Anyway, looks like a pretty good month, can’t wait for Machinarium.
Just gave up SR3 to get something else and lo an behold, I get it back! Always wanted to try Deus Ex too. And Machinarium as a bonus. Good month. Thanks guys.
Cool, I’ve been wanting to pick up Deus Ex. I’ll have to check out Saints Row as well. I would really love it if we could get Catherine like the European Plus people got. Other games I would like to see: Mass Effect, Ni No Kuni, Bioshock, Limbo, and Fat Princess.
Deus Ex looks like it might be a lot of fun and SR3 is a good score for those who haven’t played it yet. Machinarium and Zero Escape don’t appeal to me much though considering we have at least 1 or 2 ‘quirky’ puzzle titles every single month of the year. I’m not sure who the Plus members are who absolutely can’t get enough puzzle action but it definitely is not me. Once in a while is fun but wow, talk about going to the well one too many times. There are so many amazing games on PSN and yet we continually get PC puzzle ports that likely undersold because the Playstation community wants to play console games and original PSN titles not quirky PC crap. Whatever though I should stop complaining everyone in here knows that is like talking to a wall around here. At the end of the day we are still going to get games that EU Plus got 6 months to a year ago and a healthy dose of quirky puzzlers every single month. C’est la vie. Well at least they are swapping out the ‘big 3’ in the IGC on for E3 let’s hope we get something good out of it that we haven’t all played already.
Over all this update (what we know so far) is awesome
Unfortunately I already own Deus Ex – HR, Saint Row 3 and Machinarium on PC. I’ll get them just to have me on my ps3 though…..bit of a let down.
Here are somes games I’m looking forward to seeing join IGC:
1) Red Dead Redemption
2) Hitman – Absolution
3) DmC
4) Max Payne 3
5) Darksiders 2
6) Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
7) ICO and Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection
8) Batman Arkham City
9) Grand Theft Auto 4 complete
10) Psychonauts
11) Limbo
12) L.A. Noire
13) Beyond Good and Evil HD
14) Dark Souls
15) Metal Gear Solid HD collection
I got a feeling 2 of these are going to be joining us after the E3 conference…..
Already have Deus Ex and Saints Row: The Third, but being able to trade in my discs towards the ridiculous number of games out over the rest of the year is certainly a bonus.
Couldn’t be a better update….this is almost unbelievable its like you guys are reading my thoughts…..I love you Sony….every game for free this month are games that I would never buy but I really wanted to try them….haha thats the right games to keep it digital.Keep reading my thoughts Sony.
Deus Ex is obviously the highlight here, but the Portal 2 discounts are great too. Will definitely be convincing a few friends to check out Portal, and the Move DLC looks pretty sweet too!
Oh man, y’all went all out this month! Deus Ex AND Saints Row!? And Zero Escape on top of that! It just goes to show, PS Plus is one of the best values in gaming. Thanks Plus team!
Nice update on my Birthday. i already have deus ex it’s awesome, definitely gonna try Virtue’s Last Reward based on people’s reactions and the reviews and also might get Saint’s Row
i bet if you guys put persona 4:golden on there people would just go crazy! anyway thanks ps plus this is my last month of sub. i would love to extend unfortunately I might be very busy this year. wonderful service definitely worth it.
Tired of hearing about those games “finally” leaving PS+. They are there for selling consoles, people. You can’t put the console on the shelf advertising them, and then remove them in 2 months!!!
So sony is going to replace them with similar games that promote the Sony brand.
An Uncharted for sure, RC before Sly for the value-added of that franchise – FFA is my guess, or LBP Karting. And either GT if not Karting, or GOW. But Killzone is also a possibility.
But this update so far is quite nice as is, so just looking forward to post E3!!!
Yayyy for VLR!!! Played 999 on ds, and was hoping it got IGC treatment as it did on EU.
I love this update!
Thank you for providing PS+ plus users with a large array of fantastic games to play!
Also, some people need to stop being so ungrateful about the games they are getting, I mean if you have tried them and don’t like them, then I understand, but for newcomers, they should at least give them a chance.
this is even better then last month.. I’m so glad I switched from a 360 gamer to ps3.. its been worth the price and I’m never going back … cant wait to see what the 3 games are gonna be to replace the yearly ones.. hopefuly something I didnt alreay buy lol…
Hum…I never asked for a game but everyone’s asking so I’ll give it a try…could you guys bring Resident 6?….its a crap game and I’ll never buy but as a long time fan of Resident series I really wanna know the full story.Like Deus EX and SR3….RE6 is a game I would grab it only for free.Thanks.
Wooo wooo Machinarium, Saints Row: The Third, Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward (I still don’t have a Vita) and Deus Ex: Human Revolution in the same month!?!?! THIS IS AN AWESOME UPDATE!!!
And and and Ratchet & Clank All 4 One, inFAMOUS 2 and LittleBigPlanet 2 finally out!=
I might get Dues Ex and Machinarium, but I’m not sure yet. I still have a back log of a lot of games to play. I will now be paying even closer attention to E3 though, if thats even possible!
Deus ex…. didnt play when it came out so that is cool, platinum saints row 3 so i could get GOW:A so thats cool i guess…. ps vita titles dont really look that good…and the fact that you guys are actually pulling infamous 2, LBP, and a few others that u had on here forever i was hoping for better titles to take their place
I know these are good games, but they’re not my type of games. I guess the only one that I will be atleast adding to my downloads will be Saints Row 3.
I think if they put The Last of Us on the IGC day one of release, it would be a big driver for new PS Plus memberships. Who wouldn’t sign up to get that game?
I’d like to see Uncharted 3 and GoW: Ascension as well.
The Sly Cooper and LBP Karting banners at the top might be a clue as well to E3 IGC announcements?
Everyone, stop mentioning bait and switch, or just for E3 big games. Take your own advice, learn from your “mistake”, Let your sub lapse, and get off this board. Go to EU and complain about other things once you get there.
I Didn’t like all the games that were released this year for plus. probably 15 that I really liked but I will not say the others were all “bad” just because I don’t like them. I understand that tastes are different. I got a lot of value not only from IGC but discounts through the year.
So once again I say it is fine if you don’t like plus, and that you joined last year after E3 and were fooled. Just shut off auto renew and stop posting your self centered speeches of hatred for Sony and plus.
In my opinion, this might just be the best PS Plus month since it was created. Great games all around. Thank PS Plus a lot of great content to keep busy with.
@292 so you pay 50 bucks…. you get maybe 2 games you actually want and 200+ that yo DONT want and that equals getting your monies worth? sure all those games you got surpass the cost of 50 but what good is that if 95% of it was stuff you didnt want?
That would be like you giving me 50 bucks and I give you 300 bucks worth of toilet paper… sure you need SOME of those rolls but ALL of them? do you really call that a good/useful deal?
Wow so many great games this month! Probably the best update I have seen in my year and a half with PS+. Deus Ex and Saints Row 3 would have been good enough, but now my Vita will be getting lots of use. Been killing it lately with the updates guys, fantastic work!
Thank you Paul! :D

Will Saint’s Row 3 include the Online Pass? Please let me know! :)

Nice Plus update. Two full PS3 games and a $50 PS vita game? Freaking awesome! Can’t wait for E3!.
oh i am happy we are finally lost the lunch title retail was up for ever and now I was going to get saint row the third two month on sale then sold on me I am happy that I am a plus member now for a whole year
Nice! looks like another awesome month.

260th is pretty close to First, imo. Gold star for 260th!
