Hi everyone,

PlayStation Plus continues to build up steam with October’s first publish. However, before that, next Tuesday Plus members with Automatic Downloads enabled will have Lara Croft’s first PSN adventure, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light pushed to their console. Square Enix will be bringing the iconic Tomb Raider vixen to the PlayStation Store on September 28 for $14.99. Also to highlight the Lara Croft release Plus members will also be offered the PS one classic, Tomb Raider at a 50% discount.

In early October, the betas for upcoming AAA games kick-off with Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and Red Faction Battlegrounds. Select PlayStation Plus members will get their hands on the first-ever multiplayer modes of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. PlayStation Plus subscribers will also receive an automatic download of the Alien Breed: Impact demo. If the demo to this twin stick shooter gets your blood pumping, be sure to pick up the full game for 25% off. The newest PlayStation Plus update is rounded off by a sale on Wakeboarding HD bundle, a free download of Bubble Trubble (a minis from PSN developer extraordinaire Creat Studios), and two new discounted imports.

  • My 154 Cents gets me…

    Free:
    Bubble Trubble 4.99
    Avatars & Themes 0.00 (Pleased, but wouldn’t pay for them.)
    Qore 1.00 (Sub renewal price is $1.54 per issue, but I estimate $1 for not getting subscriber exclusives.)
    Free item total: 4.99

    Discounts:
    Tomb Raider 0.00 (Owned and finished.)
    Alien Breed 0.00 (Prob pass at only 25%.)
    Imports 6.00 (Can’t resist for $3 each.)
    Wakeboarding 0.00 Owned (Odd offering discount on the bundle when the dynamic theme is free ?!!)
    Discounts total 6.00

    So, this update, my 154 cents got me $10.99 in free stuff and discounts for a return of 714%.

  • Adjustment to “My 154 Cents”:

    Realistically, I would probably only ever buy Bubble Trubble for 1/2 price so it becomes:

    Free item total: 2.50
    Discount total: 6.00

    So this update, I estimate my 154 cents got me $8.50 in free stuff and discounts for a return of 552%.

  • Arrghh.. My 154 Cents adjustment again. I left off the $1 for Qore BOTH times.

    Free item total: 3.50
    Discount total: 6.00

    Total stuff is $9.50 or 617% back on my 154 cents.

  • Why is the Wakeboarding HD discount listed at all? As a Tik/Creat game it’s *always* 20% off. It seems unlikely that 20% off the (game + theme) bundle is going to be less than 20% off the game only plus getting the theme for free.

  • Its Funny How people can pay 50 dollars for playstation plus and expect over a thousand dollars in return… You cry babies that come here and wine about playstation plus really need to snap out of it! A Beta invite is priceless and no measly 50 dollars can warrent such a huge Honor! I am so glad I got playstation plus because the savings i have recieved has been over my 50 dollars.

  • @fuzzyclutter
    My point was they never said that only a select few members would get in. They should have stated from the beginning that only a selected few would get selected into the betas. If they had made that clear, no one would be complaining about the beta issue….well maybe some people would still be complaining. It was marketing tactic to sucker people like me into becoming a member.

  • I really wish you people would stop complaining about the betas. Nowhere was the promise made that every Plus subscriber would get access to every beta. It’s as simple as that.

    The worst part of it though is that you whine and complain because you MAY not get to play a glitchy pre-release version of a game for two weeks that you were never even guaranteed, and in doing so, you are letting the real issues of Plus slide by.

    Complain about how Sony changed the terms so that they are only obligated to give us one PSN game OR a PS1 game, as opposed to both each month as originally promised.

    Complain about how after four months, all we’ve gotten for add-on DLC is the Warhawk bundle, a rehashed UFC pre-order bonus, and a key to unlock a patch for that terrible bowling game that should have been free to everyone from the start. This is despite being promised a new add-on EVERY MONTH.

    Complain about how every game trial has been for something that’s not just ridiculously old, but already had a demo, defeating the whole point of the trial. Oh, and I’d like to point out, no new game trial has been announced for the next Plus update, despite a new trial being promised each month.

    (continued in the next post)

  • Complain about how after one month, Sony decided to cut the number of Plus updates in half, along with the amount of content.

    Complain about how all the PSN games offered are games that sold poorly (because nobody wants them).

    Complain about how for the past three months, Sony has randomly skipped avatars and/or dynamic themes despite promising them each month.

    Complain about how we were originally told that add-on content for games would be ours to own permanently, instead of tied to our Plus subscription.

    Complain about how after four months, we’ve received two near unplayable PS1 games, and two Syphon Filter games, instead of getting a little variety, or better yet, quality.

    Get your priorities straight people. You’re only hurting yourselves by complaining about not getting something you were never even promised.

  • How nice that Playstation Plus is full of either undesirable junk no one really wants or games everyone bought already! About the only thing I want is the HV Bowling Move addon, but the rest of the stuff on Plus is so bad, I feel like I’d be spending $50 for the add-on!

  • @162 and you could just spend $40 and get the game, all DLC, plus Move support on a Blu-ray disc.

  • i will bet you have to be a 12 month sub not a 3 month to get the beta just a thought

  • what is the “TerRover incident.”?

  • And the US blog/marketing/etc failed once again

  • Yeah BloodyCow, all EU Plus members get the beta and a week before everyone else. I’m so glad to be an EU Plus member :D I’ve been telling everyone, Europe delivers with Plus. Each month we get dynamic themes, avatars, DLC and all four games.

  • @37: They already got us both PSN (ZEN Pinball) and PS1 game (Syphon Filter 3) this month.

  • Great update for October Really enjoyed the content in September. The early access to Swords and Soldiers was great, and having Zen Pinball expands my gaming library even further. This is a good thing because I can’t afford much for games each month and getting a free game is awesome. I don’t have to wonder if I will like it. I can just go ahead and try it and if I don’t like it, just delete it! I can’t wait to try out Alien Breed and Bubble Trouble. My kids really like seeing all the new stuff showing up on the PS3 as well. Thanks Sony!

  • I still want my content from my annual subscription to Qore that I know longer get since I signed up for my year of Plus!

    European PS+ members get accessed a week early> it’s not select for them. :\

  • what was the content you used to get?

  • Since Plus launched, I think the only Qore subscriber exclusive has been the Warhawk PSOne Classic last month. In the past, subscriber exclusives have included Calling All Cars and High Velocity Bowling and I think a couple of other PSOne Classics and beta invites.

  • wat an epic ps+ update?!?! =D

  • i am a psn plus user and i am happy with the service but i can see why people are angry i hardly never bought and content on psn store but now i buy everything lol, but if i had already bought before plus i would angry to. My solution to this is sony should giving plus users 25% on any content on the store even psp games and movies, this should make every one happy, if you like this idea help spread the message even to our euro and aisa psn plus users hopeful some one in corporate will and do something about it lol

  • oh ms. grace please tell pass this idea up the chain of command, you proable get a bouns helping keeping custumers haapy and bring in new psn plus users it a good iead and it doesnt cost sony nothing to implement it.

  • i meant to say 25% once a month on entire store that would be nice and econimically do able for sony, and mybe 50% for the holidays if you like idea help spread the word,

  • Why would you push a demo to people that don’t want it? Waste of bandwidth, time, and space. I turned off my auto update this morning to avoid something i do not want. One of the main reasons that I signed up for plus was to get automatic updates for my games not for junk that i don’t want. End rant.

  • I just wanted to say that i’ve been a strong supporter of PS Plus. I’m loving the free downloads of wipeout and zen pinball, but my HUGE complaint is that there seems to be limited space for betas, i.e. AC and Red Faction. The whole “beta invites” was what made me want to purchase Plus within the first week, which is why i did. If you want people like me to renew our subscriptions,then you guys had better offer a KZ3 beta or even LBP 2 beta. If i dont get into a beta within the next 2 months, i will be very upset. I will be more upset if i dont get into anything, and instead of renewing my subscription, ill go out and buy a 360

  • I have to agree with Spider-Monkey on that one. I joined PSN Plus cause I thought it would be cool to get early access to betas, but whereas people that are Plus members in the EU all get invites to Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood invites, only select US will. And ya, if that’s what’s gonna happen with Killzone 3, and I don’t get invited, I will probably cancel PSN Plus right there on the dot!

    Been a dedicated Sony fan for years! Not just Playstation, but other products as well, and I rarely get into stuff, so you should look at those situations more often!
