  • sorry Plus members!

  • a small store update this week

  • Happy New Year Grace!

  • Wow, what an embarrassing update. Lucky Europeans.

  • Jetpack joyride saves the day

  • Any update on the status of Motorstorm RC vita install problem error C2-12383-7? and the missing dlc fix?

  • So, Europeans get all the good stuff? You can’t keep pampering a region while shunning the other one, Sony. That’ll come back and bite you someday.

  • Thanks for the update. Jetpack Joyride is still listing as $3.99 on my PS3 though.

  • You should have just taken the week off instead of posting the last couple store updates.

    Nothing to see here folks, move along…

  • Think I’ll add NBA jam and Chronovolt to my Instant Game Collection. Thanks for offering different games from time to time that i may not have otherwise looked into or played. Happy New Year to all !!!

  • Ignore my #8 comment… I was looking at the “mini” version

  • LOL…. these store updates just get funnier and funnier…

  • So Jetpack Joyride is free for everyone?

  • Wow… guess I was wrong on my PS+ Blog post… the full store update has two more games on sale for all users that were previously free PS+ games… and Jetpack Joyride…
    Here’s hoping 2013 has some decent content so we can put 2012 behind us…

  • i wanted to play nba jam on fire edition so for me it was a good update (finally, haven’t seen a good game since they gave us walking dead). Hope they add some real good games on the ps plus like PS+ EU.

  • Katamari isn’t showing up as $8.57. It’s $12.24 – will this be fixed on the store?

  • Wait, what happened to Lumines? I thought it was supposed to be on sale, just not part of the Holiday Essentials. I was really excited to buy it today. What is going on? Three different posts have had three different levels of information. C’mon.

  • in response to EU dec. PS+ you guys said we would be happy about our updates…cant find exactly where morgan said it but im and very very disappointed this month not one game i wanted EXCEPT retro city rampage. thats it..please do better come next year

  • Ok there’s one sale I’m interested in but I have no idea which price this is supposed to be.

    Touch My Katamari (30%) – PS Plus Price: $12.25
    Touch My Katamari – PS Vita Game (now: $17.49 original price: $24.99 Plus price: $8.57)

    In the store it’s $12.24.

    I like the $8.57 price best, but I guess that’s a mistake, right?

  • Great games on PS Plus collection from eu.playstation.com:
    – Batman Arkham City
    – Limbo
    – Vanquish
    – Bulletstorm

    Will these games come to PS Plus US?

  • Sound Shapes & Joyride for me thanks and Happy New Year!

  • JETPACK Joyride is NOT showing up FREE! quite the opposite is shown as a $3.99 download – is this an issue with the store or is the game free in the US only?

  • So, Lumines doesn’t have a discount for Plus members? Shame, guess I’ll wait for the retail version to drop in price.

    But at least Sound Shapes is at a good price :).

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the PS Store team for the updates and good deals during the holiday break to add some positive vibes to the posts around here lately.

  • Definitely in for a few of these deals and Jetpack Joyride for free is awesome!

    Thanks to the PSN team for a great year. Have a safe and happy new years!

  • Nothing this week lets see what Next Tuesday brings.

  • Most of the deal of the week are on old game that most of us should already own anyways a Nother nothing for me week :-(

  • Wow the EU store is awesome.

  • Nearly every reputable store will honor a price that is being listed, even if put by mistake. So please set the Katamari price for $8.57 in the store.

  • Really regretting renewing my plus membership right now, thinking about moving to ireland anyway but now they get the good games too……

  • i really, REALLY want to get Arkaham City (and Bulletsorm) but those games are on Ps+ on Europe. How do i know that we’re not getting them for free next year? Can you promise me that?

  • I’ll download the free stuff and move along. Thanks for the update on the store. Keep them coming.

  • so how much is touch my katamari? it is 12.24 and 9.50 (something) listed above…

  • did Morgan finally quit from Sony for being a total shed? Have enough reading all of the negative, but true comments on how much garbage PS+ and the service it provides is?

    ALL PS+ team should be unemployed for failing customers NUMEROUS times throughout the past 2 months on the utter garbage you have given us.

    Thanks for nothing!

    Thanks for Last Guardian!

  • Okay, so Lumines is listed in the store as $20.99. Is that the official sale price? I thought that was supposed to be a non-Plus members price.

    What is going on with Lumines? Seriously, this is ridiculous. I have no idea if I should buy this yet or not. This is still a $9 discount, and that’s still cool, but is it going to get updated again and then I paid extra for no reason?

    Consolidate the many various branches of PSN if it’s this hard to have a sale for one game accurately.

  • Does the PS+ update count as December or January?

  • @Potocus. Check under the Ps vita games section for the free version.

  • meh another poor week but what else can be expected from the end of a year i guess.

  • Sony’s extreme emphasis on FREE content is giving people an unrealistic expectation of Plus… It’s basically a premium membership, much like Costco, DirectBuy or a fan club… Yes, you get some freebies, but more importantly you get exclusive access to discounted items (occasionally ahead of time)… seems that so many people lose sight of the fact that discounted purchases are yours to keep FOREVER… the free content is only there until your membership runs out, & it’s basically a rental, like MusicUnlimited or Spotify… so it’s kind of foolish to be upset about the freebies, they’re simply an amenity
    GameStop for instance pitched the PowerUpRewards membership to me with an emphasis discounts… the magazine subscription is enticing & initially caught my attention, but it wasn’t the best benefit… getting discounts and extra trade credit was more than enough to convince me… the free magazine subscription will eventually expire if I don’t renew, but everything I purchased while being a member is mine to keep
    Sony’s Instant Game Collection ad campaign seems to make most people believe the Free stuff is the ONLY benefit, when in fact there are MANY more great perks with membership!

  • to the people complaining about complainers: we pay for a service, we are costumers. As much as you would like to believe that you’re getting free games, you’re not.
    If a video store or Netflix offer you 5 free movies per month and all they give you is 80’s Chuck Norris movies, are you not going to complain?

  • People need to learn that EU users pay more for PLUS. Meanwhile we pay only $50 they pay $65 so surely they will get the better games!if you want so much EU games just do what i did, create an EU account and pay for plus and stop complaining.

  • And….now I know what it feels like to be one of the people with Plus who say, “But I already owned that game..!” – Love NBA Jam, and at least it’s basketball season (and it beats the snot out of NFL Blitz), but I wish you’d gone another direction.

    Oh well, perhaps it will bring some fresh meat into the online game, and I can rack up some wins. I haven’t really gotten into the online – either you play three-point specialists who bomb away and never miss (so you have to take the same strategy or you just can’t stay close), or you play complete noobs who cough up the ball every play – there’s not a lot in between. No platinum trophy, though – disappointing.

    Otherwise…meh. Add up the cost of the DLC for Arkham City, and you’re less than $5 away from buying the GotY edition, so the discount on the base version of the game is WAY too little.

    Looking at SoundShapes, though. Kids might like it.

  • @38

    Look at all of their competitors, Steam especially. They bring out the heavy guns this week since a lot of people have money to spend from Christmas gifts and gift cards, and this time of year has always been big for deals. Yet Sony gives one of the worst Plus games yet and the deals are a joke (and not even enough professionalism to put the correct prices on the blog post). Theres just a lot of ineptitude especially behind the US Plus team here.

  • Worst update i seen in a veryyy long time. pretty weak but heyyy it is what it is. atleast i get Jetpack joyride for free then nothing. aha

  • Bah, no Rocketbirds Vita.

    Hopefully next week can be better.

  • jetpack for vita the best thing for this week in my point of view..
    more discounts from sony = more money from me.. i wont buy game for 39$ but i like to buy 4 games for 20$ = 80$ if you offer some good games… which is better for you(SONY)

  • please arkham city for ps plus

  • i wonder if gamers on this blog realize that playstation employees have lives too and actually DO get to enjoy the Holidays too?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!????!

    i can’t believe people are actually saying that this up no good, its getting worse… guess what ppl get a #%?)ing life. ITS NEW YEARS EVE FOR GODS SAKE!

  • I got ps plus so I could get music unlimited and when I go on PS3 it says content not available at this time and when I go on the website it says I signed up for the 14 day trial. What gives?????

  • Really weak to take away the ps plus deal for Lumines. This is really a bad move and puts a really bad taste in my mouth. It should be $17.49 for plus members as advertised and I refuse to pay $20.99 for it after this fiasco. This was a really poor job of managing this situation and you guys just lost a sale from me.
