Plus member freebies included NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, Darksiders, Mega Man 9 and 10, along with Foosball 2012, and we there were some awesome deals with the 13 for ’13 discounts (last day is today).

We’re sending January off by welcoming Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus for PS Vita, free for Plus members! There are also some amazing PSN gems at fantastic prices that you may have missed. Read on and enjoy the update, which takes effect when the PlayStation Store updates on January 29th.

  • Oh thank God is Sigma Plus because I already have Sigma 1 and 2 on PS3…big Ninja Gaiden fan here…this is an great update…also been waiting for a discount on Gatling Gears…$2.50?…now I’m definitely getting.Might get Section 8 for $5.00 too.Great update.

  • what about the ones without a vita? -_______-

    • If you haven’t played the PS3 games that are discounted this week like Gatling Gears, greed Corp, or Section 8, they’re certainly worth checking out at those prices. $5 footlong; or awesome game? lol

  • wow an excellent gift for vita owners, like me XD
    would be great if sony give us a selection of games like 13 for 13 like ps3

  • No new PS3 game this week? Sure would have been nice if NGS had been offered for both Vita *and* PS3, seeing as the game is available on both platforms.

  • Nice! Finally get to try out a NG game :)

  • Wow, I missed that is was for Vita, as well Deekman. Nice week for PS+, also there is the Get a year of PS+, Get 3 Months extra free (Until March 3). Good for me since mine expires on Feb 9.

  • Not a huge fan of the genre, still haven’t finished Dynasty Warriors from launch. Nevertheless going to try it out, nice to see some Vita titles. Thanks!

  • I’m happy with Ninja Gaiden for Vita!

  • Nice! more Vita love.

    @Morgan: Have you guys ever considered giving the Skype app an IM feature? I honestly feel like its lacking it & it’s odd that smaller devices such as phones have IM.

    Thanks for the update!

  • Nice, played the 2nd one on my PS3 and now i finally get to play the first one >.< thnx you guys at PS, need to renew my pro membership and PS plus soon TT.TT

  • Another good update. I agree with @12. It would be nice to see free or reduced PSP games. More PSP games as digital too!!

  • I am greatful. Had this for the original Xbox, heard this version is better, so thats good news.

    Would have liked sleeping dogs or maybe even Heavenly Sword, but this is a good game, So I will take it. Thank you Morgan and PlayStation Plus Team.

  • So, Vita gets Ninga Gaiden Sigma and we PS3 owners, pay for nothing….

    And our dear friend EU gets Sleeping Dog…

    Does that seen fare to any of you?

  • @37

    those games won’t appear on PS+ this year i believe because they were on sale awhile ago during the winter sale i think

  • Oh wait WTF, its Vita only??? Oh my bad, thought this was the PS3 version? Why not give the PS3 version also?

    If not, not a very good plus update as I don’t have a vita and most don’t right now.

  • Seems like a good Plus release for all 200 of the north american PS Vita owners.I hope February has some good releases/sales for the rest of us.

  • At first I was like, oh ok, Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I already have that for my PS3….then I saw it was for the Vita! YES PLEASE!!

    I swear, the value of Plus for ME is unbeatable and I will always have a membership. In fact, I’m gonna be stacking 15 more months on later today.

    also, Section 8: Prejudice at $5.00 is a steal. One of my favorites as my avatar suggests.

  • Sleeping Dogs next week then. (Please).

  • How about discounts on movies? I would buy more movies but the prices are a little steep and the service isn’t the best(only 1 download on one console)

  • I’d been hoping that NGS+ would be a free release at some point. Glad to see that wish granted. I’m definitely excited for this update.

  • Did not expect Ninja Gaiden Sigma for Vita. Will nab that, thanks!

  • I’d like to see PS Plus members get discounts in the upcoming MMO shooter Defiance’s in-game store. We should also be getting discounts for any paid DLC for Defiance too.

  • Already own Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus.. None of those other titles interest me. EU wins again :/

  • So EU gets Sleeping Dogs and we get this?

    Screwed again, thank you very much.

  • Well nothing for me this week…. What about more great games for PS3 or day 1 discount!?

  • Hi, Morgan. :)

    Can you say if we’ll have Sleeping Dogs free for PS+ like Europe?

    Thanks

  • Shame when you get to the point where you don’t want to look at what Europe gets cause you know it’s going to blow away what we get. With that being said, I have PS Plus paid for until this June, if this service doesn’t pick up im abandoning ship.

  • Sweet! Haven’t played any of the Ninja Gaiden games =D

  • @DiegoHuXO – Again, we don’t even know what is coming in Feb yet. They aren’t getting it tomorrow. They’re getting Sleeping Dogs in a week. Compare the last update for Jan in EU to NA not the last update in Jan in NA to first update in Feb for Eu.

    Is that really a fair comparison to you?

  • Woo finally since bioshock 2 there hasn’t been a nice update like these one (I know GOW too but that was beta) I think it’s time to remove the dust out of my Vita and put it to charge.

  • PLEASE O PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN WILL WE GET A 64 GB MEMORY CARD FOR THE VITA !!!!!!!!!!!! A MUST NEEDED ITEM SINCE VITA HAS JOINED THE PLUS TEAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @DonkeyKongKilla But EU got Vanquish and Batman AC for december 2012 when we got only Bioshock 2. :D

  • at 68 i agree, how about movies discount sony? i’d surely rent more movies on weekends if i get discounts lol

  • I think most folks would be disappointed if Puppy Naps was free. Anyone who wanted to really play it would have already supported the developers and what have you buy buying the game. It’s a good game. Pretty lackluster after you beat it though and it is pretty short.

    I would love to see something like Amalur in or Feb update. Or perhaps some Okami HD. Or perhaps Dishonored. That would really shut some folks up while enraging a whole other set of over entitled cry-baby buntings(Ni No Kuni reference!) :P :D

  • Hooray for Vita owners. They need something new to play since the Vita is so stagnant on anything interesting to play other than Persona 4: The Golden.

    I’m just gonna wait and play this HIGH QUALITY FOOSBALL, MAN.

    /sarcasm

  • Hi:
    Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus… for Plus Users and FOR FREE!
    I believe this is good news. I had Ninja Gaiden Sigma for PS3 and now I will be able to enjoy this game on the road or waiting on the Movies…
    Red 5.

  • If waiting for the beginning of the month to get completely new stuff, like the EU does it, gets me better games…by all means do it. They are getting Sleeping Dogs…just another tittle that the NA customers wish was part of their IGC. Such a shame that there is such a disparity as of late between the NA and EU region. I truly hope this changes. I do not feel entitled to get AAA games every week/month, but it would be nice to get closer to the quality of games that the EU region has been receiving. Other than that…the 13 for 13 sale is great. I just hope, that in the future, there is a smaller amount of disparity between the EU and NA when it comes to quality of games provided by the PS+ service…

  • Wish The Madden sale was 50% off for Plus members and 30% for non-Plus members lol but oh well :p

  • Movie discounts would be hard to do, since that’s a whole other industry.

  • Thanks for giving us Ninja Gaiden for Vita. I already own this game but for folks who have not tried it out yet, you’re in luck. Though a ‘port’, this game is one of the best games on the system in my opinion. I would not mind having the digital copy, and I cannot wait for its sequel next month. Quite impressive game play for a handheld system. Any word on Killzone Mercenary, Dragon’s Crown, Soul Sacrifice, Ratchet and Clank FF, release dates? Love my Vita and am getting anxious for more games thats all…can’t wait for Sigma 2 and Sly Cooper next month!

  • nothing for me this week. not into ninja gaiden.. and none of the games on sale tickle my fancy. (already got gaitling gears)
    really hoping we will get sleeping dogs at some point in february.

  • Yes Ninja Gaiden!

  • @68
    i’ve been stating that for awhile but no reply or anything (along with a special external hard drive for digital PS movies and TV shows)

    when i called costumer service they said it’s because of copy rights or something like that…?

  • bad update, was hoping for something better like sleeping dogs..

  • Ninja Gaiden is a great game, too bad that you guys are only giving the vita version!, I would like to see more PS3 free FULL GAMES and not free psn games, EUROPEAN is giving sleeping dogs, I dont like this game, but please, bring more ps3 FULL games and less psn games for us! pleaseee

  • Morgan please tell me your looking into working with eastasiasoft to get rainbow moon on the instant game collection, i have been on their forums and they want to work with you guys.

  • Wow, so Europe gets Sleeping Dogs for PS3 and Lumines for Vita and we get this? Don’t take me wrong, these are ok, but if you compare them to what Europe gets….

  • You guys need to understand. EU will not be getting Sleeping Dogs until next week. US content for February hasn’t been announced yet. But be warned now, it’s not going to be a game released within the last year. So don’t expect something like Sleeping Dogs.

  • Yeah give us a hint on what ps3 retail game we might get as feb content.
