Sep Before we get to what’s coming to PlayStation Plus, we wanted to let you know that starting today, we’re making a slight change to how we communicate PlayStation Plus updates. Instead of posting twice per month on what’s coming to Plus, we’re going to be making one post that gives an overview of all the content that’s hitting Plus in that particular month. So today’s post will cover content coming in September, and the next post will hit in the first Monday of October. Of course, with every week’s Store Update post, you’ll know what’s going on the Store for Plus on that week.
Now to the good stuff! We’ve got some great content this month coming free to Plus subscribers including PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies, the furious shoot-em-up Astro Tripper, and the final game in the SEGA Genesis Collection, Altered Beast. The value of all three of these titles adds up to more than a $24 savings, which doesn’t include the additional minis and PSone Classics you’ll get this month too. This month also marks a special occasion as we’re celebrating the Resident Evil 15th Anniversary with PSone Classics: Resident Evil Director’s Cut, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3, all free to PlayStation Plus subscribers starting 9/20, for 2 weeks only. In other PSone Classic news, Jet Moto will also be free starting tomorrow, 9/6.
On the discount side of things, Resident Evil 4 (releasing 9/20 on PSN) and Resident Evil Code Veronica (releasing on 9/27 on PSN) will be 50% off for Plus subscribers as part of the RE 15th Anniversary special. We’ll also offer for 1 week an additional 50% off select LucasArts PSP content on sale for PSN . Check the list below for all the titles in this lineup as well as the other discounts.
There’s tons more including new Full Game Trials, free themes and avatars; all will be coming on the dates noted below for September. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and enjoy!

@Deathspear666
The only thing stupid here is that comment. It doesn’t matter when Demo’s are put up, nothing is forcing you to buy the game on Day 1. Even if demos are put up weeks after the Full game, nothing changes! You download the demo, try it out, and depending how it went, you buy the full game or not!
@rbanke
This comment believe it or not is infinitely more stupid than Deathspear666′s! It’s just so blindingly ignorant, it’s the definition of /facepalm! Some of the greatest games EVER MADE are PSone games and you don’t play them “cause…well…they’re PS1 games… thats just so sad, your not even worth being pitied upon.

I wasn’t going to bother with RE 4 or CV, but now I’ll probably pick them up too along with the first 3 free!

Awesome stuff . I have been plus since day 1 and still have no regrets . Sure it slows down sometimes but then you get months like this . And there have been more than a couple really awesome months . So what if it’s not always stacked up with stuff for everyone . It evens out with times like this .
Thanks again .

Also forgot to add that I’ve been a day 1 plus member buying the 3 month packages . So it’s not like I’ve been riding a one time fee at a discount(+3 bonus months) . Still no regrets though .

Wow… Color me impressed? No, really. I’m not being “sarcastic”. Honestly though I feel, Morgan Haro, is at the core of this. I mean I did challenge him into getting me to find a reason to buy into the plus program or even find a reason to want the coupon book. This is one huge step in that direction, but I shall hold off on making that commitment for now. I am not buying into this all just yet. I call shinanigans! Something is afoot. Must be a ploy or a typo. Falsified information.
+ Morgan Haro on September 6th, 2011 at 11:27 am said:
Glad you’re impressed! Plus is a big PSN team effort, and it’s our PSN and Store teams as a whole that work with our partners to get great content and discounts. Keep your eye out on further updates and hope to see you joining up with Plus soon!

+ DazeOfWar on September 5th, 2011 at 10:27 am said:
Awesome update. It’s been a while since the free game has been something I don’t have. I’ve been wanting to get Plants vs. Zombies so this saves me $15. Already have Astro Tripper which is a great game. Then I can’t wait for 9/20 for all the RE I can handle. I’ll only need to buy 5 again to have them all. Good job on the 50% off deal for the HD versions of Code Veronica and 4.
Still not impressed with minis but since there is so much other great stuff it doesn’t matter.

Woah! Too bad I bought PvZ while it was on sale a few weeks ago. On another note, I don’t have any of the other games being given away. I am a happy camper.
Three more dynamic themes, AND Cubixx HD discount? GET.

Auto trophy syncing and auto save game backup are not functioning.
My system is setup properly but it never backs up the game saves I tell it to or synced the trophies.
I know this because game saves that are not on the cloud beforehand never are uploaded the next day, I have to still upload them manually.

RE4 and RE:CVX are priced at 20 bucks apiece right? so with this discount you can get both games for the price of one.

ALTERED BEAST, RESIDENT EVIL’S, RE4 DISCOUNT, PLANTZ VERSUS ZOMBIES, THOSE 1 HOUR TRIALS.
BEST PS+ UPDATE EVER,
HELL I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALTERED BEAST!
How much will RE4 run? I’m hoping $10 so I can buy that and the MK Collection.

This is exactly the kind of thing I want to see more of – Half off new releases for PSN. I was thinking of giving up my PS+ subscription when it ended but this is the kind of thing that would keep me subscribing.

+ userchris296 on September 5th, 2011 at 10:54 am said:
Dear Sony, why not make resident evil 4 & resident evil codename: veronica on a single blu-ray disc instead of downloads on PSN? it will save space on ps3 HDD. another thing, whenever sony make future firmware updates, perhaps they could fix the problem that causes blu-ray drive reads the ps3 game discs since it was reading twice after popping the disc into the drive and blue light blinks twices as reading the disc again. does anyone else had that problem after the 3.70 firmware update? it does not do that at all when popping a ps1 discs or dvd movie discs or music discs into the drive as ps3 system usually detects the disc right away after popping a disc into the drive.

Just curious but are you ever going to re-release older PSN downloads? Would be nice maybe once a month re-release something from the first few months before people even realized PS Plus existed XD.

Makes me feel stupid for buying RE2 and RE3 on sale for $3.00, but hey that means I get to keep them even if my plus account is dead for whatever reason. Besides still get RE director’s cut and all this other bomb content. I’m feeling pretty delicious right now.
