It may be gift-giving season, but PlayStation Plus delivers gaming gifts all year round, and this week is no exception. While many of you might still be getting acquainted with the PS Vita Plus games, PS3 gamers can welcome BioShock 2 into their Instant Game Collection. Download it for free if you’re a Plus member when the PlayStation Store updates on Tuesday.
Don’t forget that the Music Unlimited offer is still on as well. You can pick up the 1 year subscription for only $12! If you have questions on the service, you may want to check out this handy FAQ. To take advantage of the offer, you’ll need to subscribe from your PS3 or PS Vita Plus enabled account.

December 4th PlayStation Plus Update
BioShock 2 (PS3)
Years after the events of the original BioShock, a monster has begun snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture. Players step into the boots of the most iconic denizen of Rapture (and recent star of PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale), the Big Daddy, as they travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city, chasing an unseen foe in search of answers.
Rockstar Games Collection Edition 1 (PS3)
An amazing value, this collection features Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, L.A. Noire, and Midnight Club: Los Angeles Complete Edition. Plus members can enjoy a 10% discount on this new release to PSN.
Puddle (PS3 and PS Vita Versions)
Experience a brilliantly designed physics-based puzzle/platform game where you must guide a puddle of fluid to its target destination, not by moving the fluid, but by tilting the game world. It’s a unique twist on the puzzle genre and both PS3 and PS Vita versions are 50% off. Please note, this game is not cross-buy or cross-play enabled; so choose the best version for you, or if you’re a big fan, buy both!
We hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s update. Tune in next week where we’ll have another fantastic title to keep you gaming with PlayStation Plus. Head to the PlayStation Plus forums to continue the conversation and find other Plus fans, and make sure you make your voice heard in the comments below. As always, thanks for your feedback and we’ll see you next week!
@350, but ITS NOT FREE SINCE YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT!!!!!
/sarcasm.
I guess I can’t wrap my head around why someone would choose to pay for a service(around $4/month, very little money) that offers an unpredictable variety of games for “free” and when they don’t get the game they want, complain.
Don’t even get me started on how much of an amazing deal the addition of the Vita games is, that pretty much pays for a years subscription again in itself!
@PrimeroIncognito “Our complaints are legitimate.”
maybe some of them are but you aren’t even a plus subscriber. Why are you even here? If you had PS+ and were satisfied with it that would be one thing, but you are just coming here with no stake in the discussion and feel you can dictate to those of us who do? Who do you think you are?

#341 “Who do you think you are saying that about people that you don’t even know. I think that people like you who just accept whatever crap you are given are the same sort of folks that would agree with Sony if they told you that BBQ sauce is a good ice cream topping.”
And who do you think you are? I accept crap? Obviously not, because I’m rejecting yours. You’re fighting a battle you can not win. Actually, you’re fighting with yourself because Sony never engaged you.
Sony is not out to rip anyone off, and the NA region is not being neglected or treated as “second class”. Leaning on conspiracy theories to support your side of the argument is like building a house on a foundation of popsicle sticks. I promise you, it will get you absolutely nowhere.
Whats with all the negative feed back guys!! Look regardless if its a game you had,have or don’t care for… ITS FREE!! Take it or leave it, I was a die hard Xbox 360 fan but i must say since I got my PS3 my Xbox has been collecting dust for about 6 months now, Good luck trying to get Microsoft to give out free games! lol The only free games from them are Doritos sponsored arcade games… IOW crap lol So from me to the ladies and gentlemen that make this possible every month I would like to say. YOU F’ING ROCK!! Keep it up and great work to you all!!!
Yeah, when you consider that it’s $4 a month, it really puts it into perspective. That’s the same price as a Whopper. And that Whopper isn’t going to entertain you for a whole month.
I’m in the minority in that I don’t care if we get Batman (already have it on 360) and don’t want Vanquish (used to own it on PS3 and got rid of it) I wouldn’t mind getting something like Enslaved though.
@PrimeroIncognito
don’t try to put words in my mouth try to tie me up with a straw man. I never said anything about conspiracy theories and I already know that I will not see them change the PS+ offering this month. Thanks for the newsflash, Captain Obvious.
That being said, I can’t expect them to know how I feel if I keep my silence.
@ death_by_wabbit
Oh, I wasn’t aware I had to be a Plus member to be allowed to read this post or comment on it. My bad.
Lame.
My “stake” here is the fact that I’m a life long gamer. Started on the Apple II when I was 3. Been gaming for 30 years now. And I don’t like what the community has become.
You fools complain about EVERYTHING, not just Plus. The entire blog is overrun by little twirps who behave like they should still be sucking on their mother’s nipple. I just explained to you what the problem was, yet you ignore the validity of my response and still carry on, with the excuse that you paid for Plus somehow entitltes you to be a jackass. You paid for the service, not the right to smear the blog employees or Sony. You should have researched it before taking the plunge. Your fault. Blame yourself. If you don’t like it, discontinue your subscription. Let it run out and don’t renew. Whatever. It’s a measly $50.
So, who do you think YOU are? Get out.
@348 No your complaint isn’t legit seeing how you don’t even pay for this, have you actually seen the difference between EU vs NA games? they get the same ones PLUS more better games. I honestly don’t care how much it averages out for each month bc honestly you DONT get that option, you pay for 3 months or a year after that your locked in so yea YOUR GOING TO WANT TITLES TO KEEP YOU BUSY! after the Terrible game select 2 weeks ago MORGAN hinted himself last week this one would be great, most people don’t think so THAT PAY FOR THIS, sorry but if you put hype into it, IT BETTER BE GOOD, so make more of a ignoramous argument you sound idiotic…
2 things to say
First, its been about 2 weeks since PS+ hit the Vita lets all take a step back and stop complaining already that you want even more free games. Give it time people
Second, in comparison to the EU update be it monthly or weekly this is one sad sad update. I dont care how often you want to tell us what is coming to PS+ but you have to and I mean have to do something about the giant difference in quality of content that the EU gets over the US. From Bulletstorm to Vanquish and everything in between they have seen some fantastic titles offered as a subscriber. While the US content has been mediocore at best. I mean Warhammer 40K …. really.
We all support plus obviously but you need to close this gap between the EU and the US because it is not hard for any of us to just up and switch to a EU account to get all those games for free instead of keeping a US Plus account for a few petty discounts and some second rate free titles.
@death_by_wabbit
Straw man nothing. I see numerous posts claiming that Sony is out to rip people off and treating NA like “second class” citizens. That’s BS and you know it. I don’t see you disagreeing with anyone who has said those things. All you brats are on the same team as far as I’m concerned.
@ DonkeyKongKilla
Then just buy the games you want, genius! That’s what I do! Works great!
And this update is good for many people! It’s only YOUR OPINION that it’s poor. You brats seemingly love to imply that your opinion is somehow the universal truth! Guess what? You’re wrong!
@PrimeroIncognito
I never said you had no reason to be here, just that you can’t tell others how they should feel or what they should say. Nor have I smeared any of Sony’s employees. You really should stop trying to twist my words, you’re not very good at it.
and I’ve been a gamer even longer than that. I had an Apple 2c when I was in my 20’s, an Atari 2600 before that I’ve been gaming all my life too and I’m obviously older than you, doesn’t mean I feel more entitled than anyone else. Don’t think that you can try to imply that you have any rank over anyone.
Your petty insults don’t work on me, I’d have to respect you first
I will continue to be here as long as I want and there isn’t a thing you can do about it
Nice update can’t wait for this, I’ll trade in my physical copy & get a 20 dollar psn card & get Ragnarok oddesey!!!!!!!!!!!!
To those who complain let me tell you this if wasnt for the faithfuls of playstation you wouldnt have gotten nothing today,, no psn + no discount, no nothing..!! all the stuff you see wasnt sony idea, its the was gamer idea. they made it a reality becuase it made sence and makes a profits.. win-win You should be indebted to that and not complain in ill-vain
I wish i could take all you complainers back to the 1st year psn was born and see how you like it.. i bet youd all be content on how far we have come. . This psn + is a discount program for the poor gamer by the sony gamer. If they had the original way, there would be no disocunt sales to be had, no saving to be had. You wouldve paid full price 60$ or w/e it maybe. . No gamer could/ can afford that and they still cant.. The psn faithful got pre order of games suggeted. day one release suggested. A discount program called psn by sony. More faster hardware/software update with information. I under construcive critics but please know eu gamer dont much we get somethign new every week. they do not.
Eu dont get the treatment we get, this usa store has been rated number 1# for 3 years in row for service.

A few months ago I was complaining about the lack of good plus content. You guys are stepping it up and I like it. Thanks for the update. I look forward to downloading Bioshock 2.
Thanks Morgan/playstation Family,
Free games are always appreciated, I’ve never played any bioshock game, so for every whiner here there’s someone who wants to play the games from the IGC.
side note, I prefer weekly updates ;)
PS: I REALLY hope we get Batman Arkham City, fingers crossed!
keep up the good work!
Personally I liked PS+ before this “instant game collection” crap. I liked it when we got something every week, it wasn’t much but it gave me something to look forward to
On average, there’s been a free game every week with Plus, with some exceptions.
