  • considering my copy of Little Big Planet 2 doesn’t work anymore, this is really cool.

  • @Morgan Haro can i keep those games ,say after my ps plus is expired?…if not than its not entirely for free..is it. the best thing i got from ps plus was when sony gave welcome back packages and actually let us keep the games,wish that offer still standed.

  • you guy did not just put infamous 2 for free.fml i just bought that game a few hour ago with that ultimate deal and u guy just release it for free.now i feel stupid for buying it.

  • While I think it’s cool that you’re offering up 12 games, I agree with the others that it was really lame that you put some of these games on sale last week. Surely you knew the games you were putting on sale were going to be free the following week!

  • does anybody knows how long it takes to download little big planet 2?

  • OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @nobodies-hero I feel your pain I just broke down and got InFAMOUS 2 last week when it was on sale, being as I have Plat InFAMOUS and had Festival of Blood one and wanted to play InFAMOUS 2 1st, just to find out if I would of waited a week I could of had it free.

    Nice we get other games like I own LBP 1 never gotten around to play it yet, got it for free as part of my free game when system came back on after that hack, so adding LBP2 to my collection would be nice, but I just wish I would of known about this, could of spent the money on different game and still got InFAMOUS free this week.

  • I’m very happy to see that Infamous 2 & Warhammer 40K: Space Marine are part of this list of free games.

    Here are some games I’d like to see included in a future list:
    Crysis 2
    Red Faction: Armageddon
    Red Faction: Guerilla
    Killzone 3
    Resistance 2 and 3

    I was hoping to hear an announcement that PS Plus would be extended to PS Vita games & DLC.

    Anyhow, keep up the great work with PS Plus, Morgan Haro.

  • What kind of underhanded sales tactics is Sony implementing here?

    JC2 and Infamous 2 were put on sale last week for PS+ members and this week they are FREE for PS+ members?

    So, Sony knowingly ripped off it’s subscribers – am I getting this correct?

    Someone please correct me if I’m wrong but right now, Sony looks like it’s ripping off the very people that are actually subscribing to PS+.

  • Other than the ridiculously suspicious timing of that sale last week and the coincidence of some games being free this week, I am excited to see Warhammer 40,000 and Zombie Apocalypse for free.

  • First, this is an unbelievable deal. Have gotten PS+ from the get go. Always thought it was worth it, but this is a major step forward in game quality. Despite owning a lot of games I am still getting access to 9 new games from this bundle. A number of these games have always been on my list to check out when I get caught up in playing what I have. My wife was also excited to try out the Ratchet game which is great because there are very few she will try.

    Second, I sympathize with those that bought a bundle just before this. I almost bought the Just Cause 2 bundle on Sunday night and then talked myself out of it. Not that it was a bad deal, just would have been annoying if it was free two days later.

    Anyway, this is a great deal and thank you for a great service (and if you fix the issue of putting something on sale then very shortly after making it free everyone will be ecstatic).

  • can i get a god damn refund for infamous 2 like seriously

  • While I certainly applaud the move to make these games free for PS+ members, I feel burned by the shady decision to put some of these games on a one-week sale… one-week before giving them away for free. That is just questionable business practice that breaks my trust as a consumer.

    I just bought inFamous 2 and Just Cause 2 because of the limited time sale. Guess you fooled me! Well done?

    Yes, I get the DLC, but honestly, I didn’t care at all about that stuff. If they’d said, hey you can buy these games now with all the DLC for 50% off or wait a week and get the base game without the DLC for free, there’s no question I would have waited a week.

    And while, yes, I will still have them if my PS+ expires, since I have been a PS+ member for a long time already and intend to continue being so for a long time to come, I will likely have gotten everything I want to get out of them long before that would become an issue. So it’s a bit of a moot point.

    Wanna give them away free? Awesome! But don’t put them on sale one week earlier unless you just want to piss off the people who gave you money in order to please the people who didn’t.

  • Hey this is pretty cool. I mean I already own a lot of those, but it’s still nice. At least I don’t have to get the disks out now.

  • I was just told that with these 11 games, you CANNOT EARN ANY TROPHIES, IS THIS TRUE?
    IF SO, WHY?

  • #397
    Yeah you can get the free DLC first, just install it after you get the game.. In some cases you can insrtall it even without the game, but of coarse you can’t do anything with it yet.

  • Wow!

    This totally makes up for the Rayman snafu and then some. You said you were putting out something big and you weren’t kidding. (I’m just gonna pretend this is what you meant not the Ubisoft sale, because they’re still in the doghouse) Best part: More Awesome than I ever expected.

    Well done team Sony.

    Then again I could never stay mad at you, you and your sexy exclusives.

  • #464
    Who is your source? I’ve gotten platnum trophies from free + games.

  • @464 i am rocking on the free games now and i am able to earn trophies. virtua 5 just got 49% done in short time span while i am downloading the other games. sony you filled my night with tons of fun i am truly grateful. ps+ is one the best buys i ever considered and been there day 1 since plus was offered and have yet to regret getting it.

  • = O – Me as i read this post. I have been a PS plus member since day one! and just this day has already paid for my entire subscription! I still dont understand how gamers dont get this! You guys rock!

  • I love you! And that’s really all I’ve got to say about that.

  • Can’t sign in to PSN, really? -.-

  • Please answer this for me . If I download all 12 free games afterward I need to remove some for room for the other free games down the road . Can I re-download them again for free if I still got my membership?

  • Freaking Amazing !!!!!!

  • @472 you can delete games from your system and redownload them at any time. i do it all the time here.

  • #472

    Yup as long as you’ve download it before it was removed from plus and still a + subscriber, you can redownload it.

  • @458

    No, those who bought the games via the Ultimate Deal bought the games. Those who are getting the games free with PS+ are merely renting them.

    The bought games are theirs even after the stop subscribing to PS+. The PS+ free games are not.

  • can i get a god damn refund for infamous 2 like seriously

  • LiennBlackspace

    I love you, Sony! 4 of these i was just bidding my time, waiting for good discounts, and look what discount!!

    Definitely been a Playstation Plus subscriber for quite a while and thankful to awesome Free games plus huge discounts that saved .

    So looking forward to tomorrow ty Sony =)

    Hi. With all of these changes (PSN Plus), and various great deals (Ultimate Deals), could Sony also give users the option to purchase/convert the licenses for their PSN Plus games to fully licensed ones?
    Thank you

  • #482,
    Yeah people been asking that for awhile. Because if you choose to cancel +, you can’t buy the games you got for free and can’t play them until you get + back. Well, you can make a 2nd account to buy the games though, that’s the only workaround I know of.

    Just don’t let + expire :D even before this cool new policy, if you miss just one month of +, you lost more than a 3 month card is worth…

  • #479

    Yeah! Get on that! Hell if I was still a teen I’d be out mowing lawns to get +

    Today, what would that be? One lawn?

  • Hey, new people to LBP2, hit me up on your freinds list if you want help making a new level. Only if you’re serious though. Kinda tired of the people who invite just to try and make other people’s ps3 crash.

  • Just finished downloading Just Cause 2 and Saints Row 2. Can’t stress enough how great of a deal this is.

  • @482
    You can buy these games at set price at the time your sub is runs out, but there is usually 15 months deal on PS Plus birthday you can stock up your sub as much as you want for example I had mine stocked for 3 years and saved 40$ by doing so lol and I WILL DO IT AGAIN ;)

  • So how come I cannot see these “free games” up here in Canada? It only offers me the deal(s).

  • And still there tons more to come to any non Playstation Plus subscribers , seriously what are you waiting for

    The membership is awesome price or you can try it for 3 month also at a reasonable price , there never has been a better time to sign up them now !!!

  • I love this! and also the Sly cooper deal :D My PS3 is gonna be on a long time downloading so many titles. Is there a way to speed up downloads? o_O

  • Darn Sony, with all these great games I’m running out of hard drive space.

  • GalatasarayEken

    I’m buying Playstation Plus Tomorrow! IM SO EXCITED FOR THE FREE GAMES!!! OMG I LUV U SONY!

  • christopherlang1

    Further: Hi. With all of these changes (PSN Plus), and various great deals (Ultimate Deals), could Sony also give users the option to purchase/convert the licenses for their PSN Plus games to fully licensed ones?
    Thank you

    Not my main question but also what do we do with add-on content we purchased vs. the more limited PSN Plus license for a game we buy on PSN Plus?

  • christopherlang1

    Sony should look at this issue.

  • MythicKnightStar

    Add me every one i accept all friend request Sony Win E3 This Year Yeah

  • christopherlang1

    I read in Bloomberg Sony is hiring some sort of marketing or consulting firm for PSN Plus and perhaps online content in general. What are Sony’s plan as regards Microsoft’s announcement that they are expanding Xbox Live offerings?

  • christopherlang1

    Beyond the nice, recent Plus additions :-) that is. I am curious like we all are as to Sony’s future PSN Plus plans.

    btw: IM SO EXCITED FOR THE FREE GAMES!!! OMG I LUV U SONY!

    They really are not free :-), get rid of PSN Plus, no more game :-).

  • I have a concern.

    The first Sly was offered for free recently to us PS+ subscribers and I downloaded it and I love it so far…but now I see that all three games are on sale and I’d like to buy them, but I can’t purchase the first game because it was available for free prior to this sale. This sale will end before my PS+ subscription does, although I’m 99% sure I’ll resubscribe anyways, and I’d like to take advantage of the sale just incase I hold off on resubscribing right now.

    How do I purchase a game that was available for free during the subscription? If I delete the game it will show up as “download” as opposed to “purchase”. This happened awhile ago when the PS1 Resident Evil series was on sale for like $2.99 a game, but they were given to PS+ subscribers for free prior to the sale and I couldn’t figure out how to buy them at the discounted price…

    Very frustrating…could someone help me out on how to purchase stuff that was free and no longer is? Thanks.

  • I know that the store update is great, but greater is my feeling of being ripped off on Infamous2.

    Who’s brilliant idea was that? You put it on sale and make a big deal about it just to the next week hand it out for free? I’m angry to say the least.

    You guys should check for plus subscribers who got any of the free games on the “ultimate rip off deals” and make up somehow. How about a voucher of the same value or 3 months of plus subscription?

    It’s TIME FOR you guys to do some DAMAGE CONTROL!
