  • Yay more awesome classic Sega games for a buck. :D

    ;)

  • To all of the people complaining about the Plus games

    If you really wanted all of these games bad enough then you are better of just buying them from stores instead of waiting and hoping for them to become free

    Besides you guys can probably get most of these games for a cheaper price and for a better bundle like the RDRGOTY edition that comes with all of the downloads or even wait for that RockStar Collection that was announced.

    Also you can keep the physical copies without having to renew Plus which a lot of you are claiming not to renew your subscriptions

    These are of course just my opinions so listen or not it’s up to you

  • Maybe you could update us at the first of the month of the free games that were coming out in the next 30 days. Then weekly updates on Mondays that tell us of any discounts, betas or other items coming that week, or vice versa. That way we always have a few things to look forward to. Just an idea.

  • what i want right now:

    -Red Dead Redemption
    -Dark Souls DLC ON SALE or FREE
    -Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning DLC FREE or super discounted
    -LOTS of FREE stuff for my new vita!!!!!!!!

    Thank you for not reading this Sony. I can see you truly care about your customers

  • Morgan ya’ll are doing a great job. Haters gonna hate! Wont be able to buy any games until taxes but im content with ps+. Cant wait to get a psvita next year.

  • L.O.L. People are seriously complaining about sales on recent games? You paid full price, and were fine with that price (otherwise you wouldn’t have bought it). You wanted it and got it day 1 instead of waiting an unknown amount of time for a potential sale.

    Deal. You don’t have patience, you don’t get a sale. Same thing happens in retail. Enslaved was $20 in, what, a month? I wasn’t mad, it was worth $60 to me.

  • Um Sony…I just brought fan axxess for full price… I love ps plus and keep subscribing, so I think this is unfair, is there any way I can get a refund for the discount or something? I had no idea fan axxess was going on sale so I feel cheated now :(

  • I LOVE U SONY! THAKS FOR:

  • @Ryumoau I see your point, but at the same time I think buying a game early is just a chance your going to have to take. The way I see it you can choose to buy and play a game when it comes out (with that being your primary reward), or wait (and you don’t know for how long) until maybe the game goes on sale and saving money would be your reward. All in all maybe they could announce sales for games in advance, but I don’t think they should do so more than like 2 weeks in advance.

  • I was a big fan of the monthly update, but I also find myself really liking the Monday posts. It’s something to look forward to every Monday.

    I would do one big monthly post on the Monday before the first update, and not lay out all the content, but give us a general idea of what to expect. Seems like a lot of people are surprised that we didn’t get new free games this week and last. Maybe a schedule of sorts would help with those expectations. Call it a PS+ Monthly Schedule or something. For example…

    11/6
    One free game
    Five discounts
    Ten free avatars
    One Full Game Trial

    Just something like that for each update of the month. Don’t tell us what the specific games are (that’s for weekly posts), but give us an idea of the amount of content, and when we will get it. Link to it in each Plus update and edit in the content as it’s revealed throughout the month.

    That way we get that snapshot of how much to expect, but still get that info to look forward to in the weekly posts. Maybe you could throw in some hints about what the content is as well.

  • Nice update. I love the weekly $1.00 deals on classic Sega games. I’ve picked them up every week and will continue to do so.

    Will Assassin’s Creed III be getting a midnight digital release? Please say yes… :)

  • Last week I bought the WWE 13 Fan Axxess pack even though the game isn’t out yet, I was happy to see it was available to download early so I would have the DLC after picking up the game at the midnight release. Now I see that it’s going to be half off for PS Plus members. Is there any way I can get that 10 dollars back? I am a happy PS Plus customer and I am not going to yell in all caps that you fix this, but I do think it’s kind of lame to release the DLC early at full price and then offer a discount on the day it was supposed to be released. Will us early buyers be able to get that back or are we out of luck?

  • Morgan when we ask you something you give us an anser. Stop replying to you fan boy that would do everthing to make you happy.

  • I like the $1.00 deals on the Sega games. I’m really hoping that Gunstar Heroes will be $1.00 @ some point.

  • I don’t know how many times I’ve seen that comment above me (#164) today alone.

    I LOVE YOU SONY! THANKS FOR:
    FREE GAMES-
    INFAMOUS 2
    LITTLEBIGPLANET 2
    JUST CAUSE 2
    WALKING DEAD EP 1-2
    PAYDAY THE HEIST (and more)
    DISCOUNTS ON GAMES, DLC, ETC.
    FEATURES LIKE AUTOMATIC UPDATES AND CLOUD SAVES
    AND ALL FOR ONLY $4.17 A MONTH
    AND WAIT…
    THAT IS FOR THE U.S.
    ;)

  • @162 lol be real for one second. All the Sony butt kissing is an act right?

  • WOW!!!! thanks Sony for the 1 day heads on the WWE 13 Fan Axxess DLC bundle. I just bought it at full price last week and now cause i didn’t know i pretty much got robbed……………………

  • Getting screwed on dlc a WEEK after its on psn has nothing to do with patience. I can not believe the mindless sheep that defend Sony ripping people off. But i suppose they’re the reason Sony can continue to treat NA members this way. :/

  • I LOVE U SONY! THAKS FOR:
    BULLETSTORM
    RESIDENT EVIL 5 GOLD EDITION
    CRYSIS 2
    DEUX EX REVOLUTION
    DEAD SPACE 2
    RED DEAD REDEMPTION
    MOTORSTORM: APOCALYPSE
    DARKSIDERS
    OH WAIT…
    THAT IS ONLY FOR EUROPA
    ;)

    Morgan…please really…. stop saying next week will be awesome its like you are laughing of us.
    Im not believing you anymore.
    Im really disappointed of Psn+ for US.

  • Hey PS+ team, you really missed a good opportunity to offer a free Halloween related game. RE5 or Hell Yeah! immediately come to mind as they were already offered for free in other territories. Consider the ball dropped. Hopefully next month razzles and dazzles.

  • LOVE U SONY! THAKS FOR:

    BULLETSTORM
    RESIDENT EVIL 5 GOLD EDITION
    CRYSIS 2

    OH WAIT…

    THAT IS ONLY FOR EUROPA
    ;)

  • I think every 2 weeks is the way to go… bridges the gap between weekly and monthly.

  • I want to start off for saying thank you for keeping us up to date every week. I was wondering if you could explain what goes into the process of determining US games and what Europe get. I personally signed up for ps plus because money is tight right now and would really appreciate it if we consistently got better games because europe is more appealing right now.

  • @173 as fanboy Elvick would say “you just have to deal with it”. :/

  • Why isn’t the new PS3 bundle the NEW slim PS3? That’s so ****ing stupid!

    And you guys ALMOST made me happy because I thought that One Piece was going to be FREE for Plus members but it’s ONLY a discount. What a shame.

  • As some guys said previously,

    “When the IGC was announced, we had 8 PS3 retail releases and 4 PSN games.

    If you signed up now, you’d get 4 retail releases (LBP 2, InFamous 2, R&C All 4 One, and KoF 13) and 8 PSN Games (Double Dragon Neon, Scott Pilgrim, etc).”

    Maybe it just needs to be balanced. 50%/50%.

  • Damn…what is this?…the only good game between these 4 is Monkey Ball and isn’t THAT good at all but for 0.40 I’ll have to pick it up….moreover you guys gotta be kidding…one piece?really?…the only anime/manga that its fail.Guess I’ll have to wait to see what we’ll have for FREE.

  • Wow! This plus update sucks.

  • I was just thinking about how people from the UK are complaining that they don’t get what we are getting… Just like we want the games they had….

    I’m great with all the games I already have, it’s to hard for me to play them all, because it’s like playing a whole game in a week, sorry guys, I also have a social life, gotta work, gotta study, got to see my daughter, to much to do

    I’ll will love the oportunity to play all days like you do….

    Best Regards

  • Not too much in this update, and I already have One Piece! So, wait for the next week!

  • Nice update. I at least understand that we only get 3 games a month but it seems everyone else is ignorant of this fact. A perfect example of ignorance fueled rage, they should be ashamed of themselves. If I had your job Morgan, I would be so annoyed/pissed. I also see a lot of spam today, those mods should have a field day with their comments. Your tease for what we get next week has me excited, can’t wait for it. XD

    PS: This is for the idiots that are saying Europe gets Crysis while we get nothing, would you be so kind as to read properly before commenting? That is their game for next week, we do not know what we get next week. I swear some people don’t deserve plus, they should just let it expire and all the free games they got go with it, hope ya’ll enjoy that.

  • Does anyone know what time Most Wanted will be released tomorrow? Really wish it was released at midnight

  • For those complaining about free games, don’t forget that if your subscription to PS+ runs out, those games can’t be played anymore. Also, all of the games can be bought for $19.99 or less nowadays. Not every update for PS+ will offer something for everyone.

  • @189 true but that doesn’t justify them putting things on sale for Plus members weeks after its released on psn without any prior warning. Just terrible communications skills on their part.

  • THAT IS ONLY FOR EUROPA!

    LMAO. That is hilarious! Can you even get PS+ on the Moon of Jupiter? That’s Europa you know.
    I understand that some people are mad, I’m not very happy about the large difference in the 2 PS+ services, but copying and pasting ONLY IN EUROPA is just too funny! How do you even expect to be taken seriously?

  • I like our free games these past few months. I enjoy getting the type of games that I would not have bought. I for one would be very disappointed if we got the games that Europe gets. I own/ have beaten/ or sold ’cause they were not that good (RE5). I for one did not sign up for PS Plus to get two year old major releases. I like getting stuff like Trine 2, SpaceMarines, Subway, ect. Games like Dead Space 2, Red Dead, ect, I have already played, as have most of the PS Plus users. It seems like there are a lot of whiny, butthurt pre-teens posting on this blog every week. I like the type of content we currently get, and feel bad for Morgan and anyone else that has to read this sad collection of trolls every week harping on about a game or two they got in Europe. I am sure you guys make their Mondays are joy to come into work. Please keep up the got work, and pay no mind to the trolls.

  • @Akimitsu782 how can you say that all of these games can be bought for $19.99 or less? Look what Sony sells the digitals for: $49.99 while a new/used retail copy sells for $20-30 less.

    IMO the point for the free games is that they’re free and if my service runs out i;’m not gonna replay it. It’s idiotic to think every gamer thinks the same way as you. I want a cheap ass, GREAT game that costs $9.99 or less and will be played only once. Look at Costume Quest: $3.75, is a good game but not good enough to replay since it has no replay value.

    again, i want to see:

    -Red Dead Redemption FREE
    -Dark Souls DLC ON SALE or FREE
    -Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning DLC FREE or super discounted
    -LOTS of FREE stuff for my new vita!!!!!!!!

  • Do we get XMB or Email messages letting us know our PS+ is about to expire? Do we? I can’t remember… Cause if we don’t… We should! Just saying. :P

  • So EU ps+ got Crysis 2 this week, lets see what POS game sony pulls out of their ass for the US ps+ next week. Anyone wanna bet that it’s some stupid psn game that isn’t equal in value to the Crysis 2 game EU got?

  • how wonderful… I buy the one piece game at full price only to find out it gets a 40% discount not a week later? this is ridiculous please make it clear which games will be going on sale with a greater advance than a single day… I now feel like I’ve been cheated out of $20.00…

  • @ MrBeatdown

    To be fair, in last weeks plus update comments Morgan did reply to a post “to manage expectation” to tell us that this week would not include a free game. This week his comments have said “barring something beyond control” we should get a game a week for the holiday season.

    @Dubloon7,

    Can you keep the “thanks US for EU content” post down from SPAM? Morgan has read the comment and will tell the Plus folks what you want. No reason to post 100 times the same thing.

    @ PS+/Morgan
    I will say at least I respect Morgan for coming out and telling the crowd that Red Dead will not likely happen. I have the GOTY disc , but it would have been cool to get a digital version.

  • we need some entertainment on here! where’s lightening_fear when you need him !!!

  • @ Morgan Haro,

    I hope you are right on what’s coming in November. I sure hope it not another Sports, Fighting or FPS.
    Like I post couple of week ago. There are PLUS members that like other genres. Notice how Sony EU breakdown their FREE GAME OFFER by different genres.

    BULLETSTORM
    RESIDENT EVIL 5 GOLD EDITION
    CRYSIS 2
    DEUX EX REVOLUTION
    DEAD SPACE 2
    RED DEAD REDEMPTION
    MOTORSTORM: APOCALYPSE
    DARKSIDERS

    I hope SONY US doesn’t continue giving us crappy Sports, Fighting, FPS, old PSN games and enough with these HALF FREE GAMES.

  • I understand that realistically this may not be possible. I love how you guys give us updates of things to come on ps plus on Mondays and I love the drop on sunday. What I would like to see is something telling us the sales or at least some sort of preview of the sales that are going to happen in the store on Tuesday that may not have to do with ps plus. I get paid on Fridays and tend to forget about the sales of that week so If I could get an update on Monday before I blow all the rest of my check or something it would help me to make sure there is money on the account for when the store updates on Tuesday. I know that you put out the sales update with the store update but it would be nice to know some of them at least in advance so I can prep ahead of time because I like a lot of the company are running on a tight budget and I need to be able to plan ahead.

  • Morgan, next week better be good, otherwise I’m complaining, again!

    I’ve been a good boy these two weeks :P

    Also, just want to check with you on the Amazon offer. When we redeem the One Year PS+ voucher, will we be forced to provide credit card information? Cause I have received these voucher codes before (both from Amazon and from Sony), and all of them required me to provide my credit card information. Thanks.

  • I, personally, don’t think that you need to give us a free ps3 game every week (although it is great when you do) but on the lean weeks, why not give us a dynamic theme, some avatars, a mini, or a PS1 Classic or two? All of these were major reasons I joined Plus but they have been pretty rare since we moved to the current format. Just my two cents.

    Also, as I stated before, receiving both a monthly outline and a weekly update would be the perfect scenario.

    Waiting axiously for info on Plus for Vita!

    Thanks!

  • Sony, I pay you 50 bucks a year. I expect the world for that amount of money. Don’t make me come back to the blog and whine about the stuff that I expect to get. I PAID 50 BUCKS FOR A YEAR DARN IT!

    Oh yeah. And, I want a discount for a game I already bought and played because everyone knows that’s how it works in the real world…
