  • Looks like you guys decided to fix the problem with Pinballistik by making a “DLC-only” bundle for the same price as the “game+DLC” bundle. Thank you for this. I’ll go ahead and buy the DLC now, and heck, I’ll save an extra $1 while doing so. Nice.

    And since everyone else is complaining as usual, I guess I’ll go ahead and be happy as usual. Not everyone thinks EU gets better additions. I’m quite happy with what I get for my $50 a year. Tons of great services, nice discounts on new releases and some really deep discounts on things I missed, and a bunch of free games just to sweeten the deal even further (and yes, I consider the free games to be the smallest factor in my decision to sub to PS+). Keep up the good work.

  • PS+ EU PS Vita
    July = Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus + Unit 13
    August = When Vikings Attack! + Lego Lord of the Rings
    September = Jak&D Trilogy + Urban Freestyle + Little king + Stealth Inc
    October = Street Fighter X Tekken + Touch My Katamari
    PS+ US
    July = Dokuro + PSP
    August = Machinarium + PSP
    September = Rayman + PSP
    October = let me guess, Indie + PSP right?

  • looking forward to playing rayman, too bad it came at the end of the month but oh well. On a side note I would really like to see metal gear rising revengence and hotline miami in the IGC in future plus updates

  • Will will never get what europe get, this month they tried to give us something european like and only did worst. Next month wait for sotc or some gow. Wait and see.

  • EU announced already OCTOBER.

  • When I say gow I mean the ps2 one. Lame.

  • And we get all that crap cuz there are guys here wanting to buy the games they alredy have.

  • Sony could bring back other titles offered for PS+ like borderlands, RE5 gold ed, Super Street Fighter IV, spec ops the line, etc…

  • @150

    funny image. And sadly probably true.

  • i´m not trying to be a pain, but how come ps plus keeps getting games we got discounted a few weeks before for free. having given rayman legends for such a low price recently and now telling me it´s gonna be free is not cool, this is always happening. (discounted price……free!!!) come on

  • Damn. I don’t own a Vita. Is this the only thing being released?

  • Rayman Origins looks really fun. Great addition to the Vita.
    US IGC has been very good bringing good PS Vita titles (Disgaea 3, Gravity Rush, Blazblue) but console games IGC have been weak with a few exceptions. Hopefully next month we can get a good JRPG for consoles.

  • I’m glad to see fun games showing up without all the filthy language. I think many of the games are fun, but I can’t let my sons play Liberty City Stories from last week on their Vitas. I can overlook and ignore some of it, but I look forward to more games they can play together. Ico was great and so is Rayman!
    I am still very grateful for all you guys do! Thanks!

  • Thank you Sony! I bought Rayman Origins brand new and I loved it. I didn’t want to pay the same price to get the same game on Vita, but now there’s a way I can take this amazing game on the go as well!

  • Haha, I’m glad none of that lame JRPG stuff is coming up on here.

    Screw that.

    Also want to ad a big “F-U” to a certain someone who always begs for that and gets completely ignored each month, LOL.

    You know who you are “R——”

    If you hate PS+ so much, here’s a damned amazing concept……DONT BUY IT ANYMORE.

    How stupid can you be? Better yet, go buy a Japanese or European PS+, so we can quit having to deal with your stupidity on here.

    “oh Japan got a sale with over 60 games, and we get nothing boo-hoo.”:

    Either quit NA PS+ or switch to another region’s PS+.

    But then again, you will stick around knowing you, resubscribe and continue moaning and b***** about the same old stuff.

  • only reason I have a Issue with Rayman Origins on PS+ is the fact that basically 1 or 2 week before it’s announced for PS+ it was on sale for $6. If I was aware I would have got it from PS+ I wouldn’t have bought it, cause I platinum’d it in the past and only bought to have in my DL list, but I have no plans of getting rid of plus so that just screwed up everything smh. Also can we get better stuff, I’d love to be getting New Little Kings Story, and Street Fighter x Tekken and so on.

  • @ 150 haha. I think the guy tossed out the window was Morgan Haro. I think he was actually trying. He even replied to negative comments. Sadly, he was probably fired for it.

  • Guys, please… SFxT / NFSMW / ACIII L for US.
    Rayman is a good game, but, I know there are a lot of better titles for Vita that can be included in IGC list.

  • @150 HAHAHAHA!!! I usually don’t get down with the complainers, but that was damn funny!

    Seriously though, I’m normally pretty upbeat about PS Plus, but even for me, this has been a down month. The only game that I would’ve been excited for I bought a while ago because I heard it was so good (Rayman Origins). And I normally don’t try and compare NA PS Plus with EU, but seeing that they got Far Cry 3 (a game I REALLY want to give a whirl), it’s hard to not be a bit jealous. Here’s to hoping that Morgan and the gang have something just as good coming down the pipe in October!

  • @168 – Rayman is literally better than every single game you mentioned (I own ’em all, so I should know). Give Rayman a shot before you pass it over.

  • Oh that’s frustrating, only for Vita :(

  • I would like to see newer PSVita games or more of them, Seems most of the focus is on the PS3. While I have both, still would like more for the Vita. Also need themes and avatars… Thank you.

  • This month is pretty disappointing not because of PS+, but for the sales. I haven’t even bought a single cent off PSN. I’m still waiting for a Persona sale so I can get Persona 3 Portable digitally. The only things that wasn’t disappointing about this month are the retail games. I also vote for Street Fighter x Tekken on Vita for October’s IGC. Who cares if it’s another fighter? I personally want that so I don’t support Capcom’s DLC practices.

    Will we get to know what October’s PS+ is this week or do we have to wait until next Monday?

  • My PS+ sub finally expired. I’m freeeeeeeeee!

    Goodbye US PS+, hello Europe PS+. Finally I get to play some good games.

  • First time PSN blog commenter. I felt I needed to add my two cents into the mix since I am a level headed PS Plus subscriber. I’ve been a PS3 owner since launch and an active consumer with an over 1,300+ downloads list. I’ve been a Plus member on and off since they began the program.

    Some of the stuff in Plus is great while some of it doesn’t really interest me. What I have noticed though is that the sales are the biggest benefit to the PS Plus subscription. This is why I am an on and off subscriber.. the PSN only offers good sales at certain times of year. You have the Christmas sale (Mid December – Mid January), the spring fever sale (March-April), and the E3/Summer sales (May-July). If you (Sony) offered more sales and better discounts throughout the year then maybe I would as a level headed consumer consider a year subscription. Which brings me to the main point of my post – (see next comment)

  • The root cause of the complaining for the PS+ service is this: Sony you are being far too greedy on your regular priced digital content. You leave games priced far and above retail hard disc copies which I can own, play, and resell. Why would any sensible consumer dish out $40 for a digitial copy that retails for $20 hard copy at target or $10 used at game stop. Better yet… you don’t even care about competing in the digital content space. I mean most of the indie games you sell for $15+ are $.99 for tablets. This is why people constantly complain about the lack of good content in the PS+ because this is your opportunity to compete and show us you actually want our business. And what you have shown for the month of September is a lackluster attempt that insults all current PS+ subscribers. This is why I am currently unsubscribed and will remain so until I see something of value.

    Sony. We want to buy digitial, we really do, but you make it so dang hard for us to want to.

  • It seems like you must live somewhere in Europe to get a game worth more than $9.99 on PS Plus. Seems like we keep getting the bottom of the barrel titles. Keep pushing the Vita and PS4 but forget about PS3?

  • Sony please give us good enough games next month. At least good enough to keep us busy while we are waiting for PS4!! UK gets Far Cry 3, Dragons dogma Dark Arisen, Street fighter x Tekken!! We need awesome games like that to seriously make it happen at least one month before PS4 is out.

  • I want GTA V for IGC. After all, it’s not like Rockstar hasn’t already made enough money on it.

    (Just kidding. And I already bought it anyway.)

  • This update makes my pants feel funny.

  • I think if I worked for the PS Blog, I would make everyone in the office play a drinking game, where every time the PS Plus update posts, we would read the comments and take a shot every time someone complains about how we dont have the EU Plus perks … we would be smashed by the end of page one and just having a jolly ol’ time. You’re welcome for the suggestion!

  • ok now im hoping for a horror theme update what do you say? maybe some dead space 3 for ps3 and and silent hill psp and ps vita. i think Halloween theme is a must for plus next month.

  • @175 had something right: “You leave games priced far and above retail hard disc copies which I can own, play, and resell. Why would any sensible consumer dish out $40 for a digitial copy that retails for $20 hard copy at target or $10 used at game stop.”

    Sony could do a LOT better on their sales. I’m not sure if it’s Sony themselves or the publishers or just who is responsible for setting the prices, but they don’t seem to realize who they’re competing against and what price point is reasonable. Given that discs don’t eat up quite as much HD space or bandwidth, both of which are limited, the sales are often way too small.

    The free game library is a challenge as well, when one region consistently gets titles that are more recent and higher-demand titles than other regions get. If I didn’t know their was a European version of PS+ or see what they had that I didn’t, I’d probably be happier with my membership – but seeing what they COULD offer and won’t, I feel taken advantage of. That’s not entirely Sony’s fault – but they aren’t blameless, either.

  • Pinballistik: Alien Tycoon Bundle (PS3)

    PS Plus Price: $3.99, Regular Price: $4.99

    Pinballistik + DLC Bundle (PS3)

    PS Plus Price: $3.99, Regular Price: $4.99

    Typo? If not, bump the addon prices up:

    Pinballistik: Made of Money (PS3 Add-On)
    PS Plus Price: $2.39, Regular Price: $2.99

    Pinballistik: Sector X (PS3 Add-On)
    PS Plus Price: $2.39, Regular Price: $2.99

  • Greeeaat. A game I bought on discount last month, and nothing else. Good to know I don’t need to bother turning on my PS3 to check the store tomorrow. AGAIN.

    Seriously Sony, get it together or I’m seeing very little reason to keep spending $50 a year for a subscription that is netting me less and less each month. Dare I ask what can we expect from PS+ once the PS4 launches, or should I just cancel that pre-order right now too?

  • First, where’s the PS3 version and why is the US not getting Dragons Dogma or Far Cry 3? Or Assassin Creed 3 and Jak and Daxter? Ubisoft is barely giving us a stick at all, let alone the short end. I predict eventually we’ll get Jak since we’ve got Uncharted 3 and it’s a Sony exclusive. I know Sony isn’t the say all though I’m pretty sure the pull is there. EA’s been kind of stingy too before Battlefield 3 with Dead Space 2, Crysis 2, and Mass Effect 3.

    Wouldn’t mind seeing Grand Theft Auto IV or III (or Red Dead Redemption was over the pond too).

    We need more J-RPG titles too (on PS3).

    I should point out Arkham City, Catherine, and Okami.

    And creating a EU account isn’t a viable option onlookers because it’s a TOS violation.

  • And help us all if Pong is the best to offer in October.

  • It’ll be Pac Man.

  • I don’t understand the free/discounted game selection process. Games that we’re previously free, now discounted. Heavily discounted games, now free. All within the same year. Let me guess, you’re going to give away Uncharted: Golden Abyss and WipEout 2048 for free again next month.

  • Wow, EU is getting Far Cry 3? Pretty much guaranteed to be a worse month for us. If I had the extra money I wouldn’t hesitate to buy an EU membership. Occasionally you guys give us some great games, but EU seems to get great games every month. That’s just my opinion and there are a lot of people that agree with me. Please step up your game guys. My membership is absolutely worth the money. It just kinda sucks to be outdone just about every month.

  • Not to sound ungrateful but….c’mon Sony. Limbo was on sale for $6 a little less than a month ago during the PAX 2013 sale. Cross-buy for PS3 & Vita versions too. Was this weak $12 sale really all that necessary so soon? Pretty disappointing, I’ll admit.

    Still, I’ll give credit where it’s due. Rayman Origins free for Vita is fantastic: probably never would have bothered picking it up otherwise.

  • Have you guys forgotten about the PS3?

  • I got a question: will the announcement for October be on a Friday like last time or was last time the only time just to test it out? I personally like the update coming earlier so I can plan what to buy and what not to buy.

    As for the month, solid month for October. The only reason why I never got anything from this month was because of Kingdom Hearts 1.5. Hey, we’re all kids at heart. :)

  • Lone Survivor* $1:30 off?! not much of sale.

  • Can we get Kingdom Of Amalur or AC3 on September for Ps Plus members? this month on IGC was Great! hope on September IGC will be great too! keep e’m coming :D

  • +190 COMMENTS = 3 REPLIES

    My october prediction:

    PS3: Aliens Colonial Marines – Shadow of the colossus – Limbo

    Vita: Mortal Kombat – Random PSP game

    LOL

  • HEY SONY US!, OPEN YOUR EYES!! EU Plus is going to receive FarCry 3 and Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen on OCTOBER. That’s not fair. PLEASE, WE WANT IT TOO!!!

  • I really want Limbo on my PS Vita but $12 is still too expensive considering how old this game is. I expect to see more/better sales soon, we had some awesome sales recently but this week isn’t looking so hot.

    Happy to get Rayman Origins though, I heard good things about it.

  • I know not many people like PSP games but next month, I would really like to see Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for PS+ on October! That would totally suit the Halloween for October!
