It seems I’ll be needing a new Vita memory card. Both Vita games I wanted (I played God Eater on PSP, but I’ll definitely play it again).
I already own those PS3 games, either on PS3 or PC, but I feel they’re a great addition to the IGC, and I’m happy that other people will be able to play them.
For me this month, I’m very happy for the vita ones, and I’ll sell that Deus Ex copy I’ve got on my shelf :D
I’m new and before i buy PS plus… (because i’m still a little confused)
Will these games come to the Store in Asia? If it does is it at the same time? or?
It’ll be nice if you would enlighten me. I never bought plus before and i’m getting now
you took down a vita game ( I know it wasn’t ready so you had to) but you give us a psp game in it’s stead? With e3 here I figured you’d at least give us a vita game this is a poor replacement for a promised brand new vita game.
I just wanted to say that I treated myself to a PS Vita and 16 gig memory card on my birthday, May 24th, so I could start taking advantage of PS Plus’s awesome Vita/PSP lineup. I was already a Plus member, and it was driving me crazy not getting to play all the great cames that were coming through.
I never had a PSP, and the value I am getting from my Vita in awesome games from the PSN (particularly RPGs such as Persona 3 and 4 and fighters like BlazBlue) are already making me a very satisfied customer. And now that Virtue’s Last Reward has been added to the mix for free, I am really glad I didn’t wait another year to pick up my new handheld system. I haven’t had this much fun with a portable since the Gameboy Advance was first released.
With the extra year of PS Plus that came bundled with my Vita, I am locked in to keep the sweet games rolling for next two years, well through the release of the PS4. So, thanks for having such a great subscription service, Sony! As long as the quality stays like this, you’ll have a loyal Music Unlimited and PS Plus customer for many years to come.
Wow ya’ll really brought the heat on in this months releases. This will actually stop me from further neglecting my PS3 and Vita with these great games. Thanks.
I can finally complete this game since my brother lend my Deus Ex: Human Revolution to his friend from accross the nation -___- Thanks guys, I love you PS+
Deus Ex Human Revolution freezes after pressing the start button at start-up. You even have to unplug your machine, not even the power button is working then. Will there be a patch soon?
Slightly upset about orc attack, but then again I dont want a glitchy buggy game like doctor who for example. I was looking forward to some mindless hack n slashing, but i guess I’ll have to wait ::sigh::
626, Deus Ex freezes for me as well at the same point. This is an excellent month for PS+ and I was looking forward to Deus Ex (though, I should have bought it when it came out). I’m just glad it’s not just me. I was suspecting I was approaching the YLOD since I’ve had the same symptoms in the past before the YLOD, Since others are having the issue, it’s probably a software issue, not hardware.
For anyone having issues with Deus Ex, I just saw a recommendation on a PS forum to log out of PSN. I unplugged my ethernet cable and was able to get past the Start screen so that works.
I downloaded Deus Ex 3 times and it would not work at all. I even did a complete system restore and it still would not work. When I start the game and when it prompts me to press start, the screen goes black and nothing happens. And I have to manually cut the power to my system to get it to shut off. Are there any patches or anything out there that will fix this? I really wanted to play that game.
Lol, it’s like EU residents want the games US residents are getting. Deus Ex Revolution, Saints Row the Third… why are US residents unhappy wtf, EU residents get CATHERINE lmao. I wish EU residents got Deus Ex and SRIII not games like Catherine.
@600 – DarkDuckJustice: Ni No Kuni actually looks really nice.
I think that we will see 3 of these
Uncharted 3
Batman Arkham City
Remember Me
Last of us
Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault
Twisted Metal
I would love to see these 2 included
1) Red Dead Redemption
2) Hitman – Absolution
man :/ Machinarium for the Vita as well would be nice

Finally a good AAA PSP game which can take advantage of VITA´s dual analogic sticks! Thaks a lot!
preferia mejor Orc Attack al otro juego que pusieron para vita, muy decepcionado
Thank you for the great games! Keep them coming!
Any chance we can get Earth Defense Force 2017 portable as a freebie? or at least a really nice discount?
Not sure why but Machinarium does not show as free……Could be a problem of PSN?
Any chance Saints could be next on the Store, i been dying to play it and seeing that it’s gonna be free gets more excited!!!
