Hey everyone,
This week, we see two big gaming experiences land on PSN, great PS Vita and PS3 content, and a wealth of free content on PlayStation Plus.
To start, if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you can now download Journey and play it today! Not a PlayStation Plus subscriber? Sign up today and you’ll be able to access it from the moment you purchase the subscription. Otherwise, you can still pre-order Journey and snag an exclusive PS3 theme.
Mass Effect 3 makes a landing as you can now download this epic game. Earth is ground zero in the war to save the galaxy—and how you wage that war is entirely up to you. Groundbreaking interactive storytelling drives the heart-pounding action in which each decision you make could have devastating and deadly consequences.
It’s a great week to have a PS3 and a PS Vita with Motorstorm RC being available in the PlayStation Store for both platforms. To make it even sweeter, thanks to our friends at Scion, you can download the PS Vita version free for a limited time! With leaderboard challenges between friends and cross-play across both PS Vita and PS3, it’s never been easier to beat your friends, no matter what platform you’re playing on or what time of day it is. Download it now!
More cross-platform gaming arrives in the form of MLB 12 The Show on PS Vita. Any baseball fan knows to check out MLB 12 The Show on Blu-ray on PS3. To get the most out of your game, you’ll want to snag the PS Vita version of the game to take your season anywhere you go. Save your game on your PS3, then access your game on your PS Vita. You can also access Road To The Show points starting today as well. Increase your Road to the Show training points to boost your Road to the Show player’s stats instantly with this DLC hitting the Store today.
Additional new PS Vita content continues with the release of Unit 13 and Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7. In Unit 13, put your two analog sticks to fantastic use with numerous missions, game types and connectivity features. It’s action that will have you believing in the pure playability of shooters on PS Vita thanks to two glorious analog sticks!
PlayStation Move players have a brand new experience with Start The Party! Save the World! Available exclusively for PlayStation 3, this PSN downloadable title uses PlayStation Move and the latest augmented reality technology to turn you and up to three of your friends and family members into super heroes for the ultimate party experience.
