  • First I would like to congratulate Sony on the new fantastic console, but most of all on respecting so much they’re custumers on they’re services(not like other conpanies). I have been a ps Plus member for over a year now, and I am very pleased with the service, I have so many games that I cant possibly play them all, and since last week I lost my Soul to the XCOM, cant stop playing it. But I have a question, most out of curiosity, what is the critirea for a game to enter the IGC, how do you choose?

    • There are many factors that go into a game being in PS Plus; too many to share here, but as long as overall you’re enjoying the content, we’ll keep doing what we’re doing, while taking in the feedback from everyone at the same time and adjusting where neccessary. Thanks!

  • Two great looking games, you guys rock. :)

  • I’ve been looking forward to playing Saints Row 3 for a while now. I hear it’s a fun game.

  • And now Another game I love SAINTS ROW 3!!!!!!! LET THE CRAZINESS BEGIN!!!!!!!

  • Any info on Europe Plus sales?

  • YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! SAINTS ROW!! I was going to buy it!! Thanks for my birthday gift!!

  • I got the “Full Package” edition of Saint’s Row 3 a while back. It’s a fantastic game. I still pop it in every once in awhile, and I beat it almost a year ago. To those plus members who haven’t played it yet, you’re in for a TREAT.

  • Can’t wait to play Saint’s Row the Third!

  • nice, after getting a plat in Sleeping Dogs I’m ready for some more free open world trophy goodness. Thanks PS+

  • Saints Row The Third looks like a great game! By the way, Any chance we could see a game like Mass Effect 3, Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, or an Assassin Creed games other than the 3rd one enter plus anytime in the near future? Thanks!

  • God Eater!!!

  • I know what Im downloading !! Saint’s Row 3, Thank you PS +

  • hahaha I used to think PS+ was awesome until I went to Steam on PC. I can never go back to paying full price for a digital game it’s such a scam. I was able to get 8 AAA games for like $60. How many AAA games can you get on PSN for that price??

  • xFuzylilManPeach

    Two sweet games for my handheld and console. Happy PS customer right here :) Thanks Sony!!!

    and @ Isidrera, i know the feeling with XCOM lol it took over my life too when i got it near its release.

  • I was expecting discounts, but it is all right. I’m glad the E3 ones are still on. I still need to buy a couple of them.

  • No discounts?

  • and also, please stop giving us old psp games

  • I already have the GOTY edition of SR, but I’m interested in Gods Eater…but PLEASE Sony…give us a BIGGER Vita memory card! With the ps plus on vita, my 32 gig card is already full :(

  • xFuzylilManPeach

    and @12, this is PLAYSTATION BLOG, i understand Steam is great and all but go post it on their blogspot.

    • It’s totally valid feedback, so no need to discourage it. We value feedback and thoughts no matter where people are gaming. If there’s something we should be paying attention to, we’ll be counting on you all to let us know

  • PS4 still has time to implement retrocompatibility through software emulation with PS3 games, PS2 games and PSX digital games through software emulation (which they already have in their Gaikai milk-off-more-money-from-players system) and decline Plus being mandatory to play online maintaining online playing free for everyone. I want my PS3 digital purchases through the PSN Store to be playable and DON’T WANT TO BUY IT AGAIN WITH THAT CHINESE SCAM SERVICE CALLED GAIKAI. If they don’t, I will give the thumbs down to PS4, use my PS Plus account to “buy” free PS4 games (no paid games) and only buy it after it has dropped it’s price dramatically or they add compatibility with PS3 in any way they want to and they decide to keep as valid my games collection. I encourage everyone that bought over 190 digital PS3 games supporting this company to do the same. RESPECT TO MY PS3 GAMES COLLECTION!

  • Saints Row: The Third is an amazing game, I already got it with all the DLC, got the trophies @ 100%, only bad thng about this game to me is that the story isn’t as good as Saints Row 2

  • I assume then the E3 sale shall continue! Huzzah! No other sales this week though huh? SR3 dlc discounts?

  • I don’t about Saints Row 3 at all but I’m currently playing X-Com obsessively and I’m really exited to try out Gods Eater Burst.

  • I love when you put in the Instant Game Collection a game for PS3 and other game for PS Vita at the same time. Thanks.

  • EvyatarAtarEvyat

    I said it once, and I’ll say it again please stop with the old psp games and give us vita games!

  • AWESOME! Saints Row 3 is an amazing game, and it’s probably one of the best games ever offered for free through PS+. I already platinum’d it when I bought the disc, but I love that a game of this quality is being offered for free. Thank you!

    As usual here’s my IGC wishlist:

    God of War (all games in the series; digital versions of GOW3 & Ascension)
    Grand Theft Auto (all games in the series)
    Guacamelee
    Hitman Absolution
    Machinarium (Vita)
    Max Payne 3
    Metal Gear Rising
    Metal Gear Solid HD (PS3), digital version of MGS4
    Red Dead Redemption
    Red Faction Guerrilla & Armageddon
    Uncharted 1 & 2

    Also, could you add Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops to the Vita store? It’s available in all regions except North America, and it’s also the only MGS game I haven’t played!

  • Oh boy. Sony, give me a chance to spend some money. Too many good games, my back logs are way too far now.

  • Morgan. Thanks so much for listening to our feedback and getting us better games. This is why I will stay with Sony and PS plus through the future. Just one quick question, are we ever gonna see a rockstar game on sale soon like max payne 3? That would be amazing. Any major sales comming up that might have that? Thanks Morgan. You are awesome!!!

    • You’ll just have to stay tuned to the updates to see what’s coming for discounts, but anything is possible. PLus wasn’t Max Payne 3 just on sale as part of the Ultimate Editions sale? I think you might have missed it! =| Usually, we announce discounts the week that they hit. So keep checking back to see what’s new. Thanks!

  • This are some games I’d like to see next month on IGC:

    -Batman Arkham Asylum or Arkham City
    -Catherine
    -Red Dead Redemption
    -Ico & Shadow of the Collosus
    -Limbo
    -I am alive
    -Doom 3
    -Warp
    -L.A. Noire (of there is a Digital version)
    -Worms Ultimate Mayhem
    -F1 Race Stars
    -Alice Madness Return

    Thanks!

  • @1 Basically…

    Sony: “Can we make (game) available to Plus members on the IGC?”
    Publisher: “Sure, why not?”

    OR

    Publisher: “We would like for our game, (game), to be available on the PlayStation Plus IGC.”
    Sony: “Sure thing!”

    The same applies for any PSN discounts.

  • Yay! Thank you so much for Saints Row 3. This has been a great plus month, aside from Orc Attack being delayed.

  • wish there were discounts on the Saints Row dlc as well.

  • Are there any plans to replace Orcs Attack! for Vita this month? I was really looking forward to picking that up.

  • Morgan I’m not able to download the language pack PT-BR UNCHARTED 3 in the game, he goes to PSN but appears only French and Spanish. I’ve tried on PSN U.S. and Brazil but had no success.

  • DmC i need this game join IGC. plz

  • My wishlist is Red Dead Redemption, Batman Arkham Asylum and City, all God of War games Far Cry 3, and Assassin’s Creed games.

  • @32 whitepony02027 Gods Eater Burst is the replacement since Orc Attack was delayed.

  • @12 yes it would be great if Sony tried harder to be more competitive with their digital pricing on psn. I don’t even mean against steam. They aren’t cheaper than retail outlets like gamestop or even Amazon.

    @32 God Burst Eater is the replacement for Orc Attack. Not sure why they replaced a Vita game with a lesser psp game though. Hopefully we will still get Orc Attack free when it does come out.

  • I would really like to see deep discounts and sales on PSP games like the EU store had a few weeks ago. They had some great titles for very cheap. PSP IGC games I can play on Vita are nice, but I would rather a killer sale on PSP games. Thanks for God Eater Burst!

  • @19 You have a ps3 now I assume. So play all 190 digital games you have. I was mad for all of like 10 seconds about backward compatibility. Get over it. So what we wont be able to sell our ps3s for like 100buckss towards ps4. And they haven’t said a thing about pricing for Gaikai maybe its free with plus and a small fee to register your already owned games. Who knows lets wait to find out.

  • Good way to get people ready for Saints Row IV.

  • Saint’s Row is the worst addition to ICG since Foosball… But yeah, I still love PS Plus.
    Just wished we could have more RPGs on ICG. A JRPG would be nice for a change, I can’t remember any JRPG coming to PS3 ICG.

  • Thanks for Gods Eater Burst! Continue offering PSP games as part of IGC! I love them! ^^
    And, you already have any info about a Pinball Arcade PS Vita fix?
    Thanks!

  • I’m still uncertain if I should go straight to SR: The Third or play SR2 before…

    Hey Morgan how are you feeling after E3? No polls this week? Please, do you have any news regarding EpixHD free content to plus?

    Thank you!

  • Personal fact: Me no more want PSP classic games for Vita in IGC, just like i want no PS2 classic for PS3 in IGC.
    If you guys really want me to play PSP games on Vita so badly, give them in some form of PS+ discounts.
    MAYBE i’ll buy one.

  • Any updates on whether or not Pinball Arcade is going to be fixed? It’s been a month now and I still can’t download the game.

  • Looking forward to God Eater Burst. Thanks Morgan.

    • it seems like a pretty cool PSP game. I haven’t played it, but it looks great, hope you all play it too!

  • Great addition!looking forward to it! Please bring ico/SoC state side soon!

  • @41 likeanobody

    Not sure if serious……..

  • I bought that game but never finished and traded. Now I will finish that damn game. Thx Sony
