See you in the comments!

They usually don’t update it until sometime in the afternoon/early evening (depending on your time zone; I’m on the west coast and usually see the update sometime between Noon and 2PM).
This is just the Plus preview post. When they post the store update later today, that’s when stuff should show up in the store at the proper prices.
More Vita content please!
Ugh, I just bought Lego Batman 2 for the Vita last weekend so me and my nephew could play together while we were in Vegas! I spent $20 on it! ARGGH!!
When do these games that are on sale become available? I thought it would be today but, the Playstation network is still showing last weeks sale.
Is Tron the Ps3 version? If so, then I’ll grab it… I loved it back then and going back will be great fun.
@153, of course it is… The PS Store hasn’t updated yet lol… EVERYONE should know by now that Sony updates whenever the hell Sony feels like it, because they simply don’t care xD
More classics should be added to playstation plus for free like
Crash Bandicoot
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
Crash Bandicoot: Warped
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
Its just a suggestion
@156 – Dr0p-Dead1010
They gave out 1-3 and the racing game almost two years ago: https://blog.playstation.com/2011/10/31/playstation-plus-november-sneak-peek-free-hydrophobia-prophecy-and-more/
They sometimes bring back the promos, but since the shift to the Instant Game Collection there’s been less and less Classics content. So, I wouldn’t hold very much hope that they’ll repeat that Crash promo any time soon.

And ps vita ?? Guys you’re kidding……
Thanks for Oddworld…cant wait ha been wanting to try that one,since I’m a fan and old playa of the original Oddworld back on the PS1 days…fond memories…also will be picking up Alice…damn for $4.00 is too cheap…another game that I been wanting to try its been a long time but I didnt want to pay the full price for it.I just hope I really really hope that you guys dont release for FREE on Plus or I’ll be very pissed.
@ 154 Yoda91192 – On the original post for the summer sales it was saying that it will be the Vita version.
@156 Dr0p-Dead1010 – I agree 100%.Although the PS1 Crash titles were already available for free on Plus(besides CTR)…they really need to put those games for free again because I missed them…because I wasnt a Plus member at that time.
to all you guys who think they should put games that you missed on plus think about how you would feel if the added this months games again next month. NO REPEATS
Odd World is a good game I bought when it first came out with the original Xbox. Updated graphics will make playing it all over again that much better. And being free is awesome.Thanks.PlayStation Rules!
I don’t see them repeating any titles anytime soon. Maybe somewhere down the road it could happen. I especially don’t see them adding PS1 or PS2 games to the IGC unless it’s in addition to the other titles, or maybe for the Vita offerings.
How come these sales only apply to the US and not Europe? I really wnted Batam AA for $4.99 and I dont really understand why a sale on an international system such as the internet should be restricted by region.
What time today will the sale start for these games?
@160, but the game never released for Vita… so it’s probably the PSP version, if so then that sucks hardcore balls lol…
164, Don’t blame Sony themselves… Each region has their own different PS Store team so that’s why there’s always variety in different places.
@BarryBallache
Just like the U.S. doesn’t get near what the EU gets. We’ve tried to accept the fact (Or at least some of us do). Different licensing agreements for different regions….or so they say.
Hey Morgan and Kristine, how are you doing?
I have a little suggestion to bring a bit more of diversity to the IGC.
Don’t get me wrong, there is A LOT of diversity on the games side, but PLEASE, can you give us SHIFT 2 Unleashed? It’s already a kind of old, and it’s a great game to kill time until Gran Turismo 6.
So, that. Hope any of you can answer me.
A proud Sony user.
How about adding “I am Alive” and “Journey” to Playstation Plus.
@klassymike Oh really? I didnt know that. New to PSN tbh, only had a PS3 about a month. I always kind of figured that US and EU would have the same stuff. Australia I can understand, the restrictions they have are a gamers nightmare! lol
Oh well, I guess its like the idiocy of having a worldwide release that is on different days. How hard would it be to make the release date for games the same in US and EU? Never understood that one! lol
@EagerSnake
Shift 2 Unleashed was free already, months ago so I doubt if will come back anytime soon.
The “Last Chance (Leaving on 7/16)”
means that it’s available now and it ends on the 16th or starts on the 16th?
Cause if it’s the first point, then I can’t seem to find Alice with the discount yet.
@174 – EarthLunacy
It means it will start when the store updates later today and end when the store updates next Tuesday the 16th.
As of this writing, the store hasn’t updated yet.
@klassymike
Da·$&”·$/& it!!! I didn’t know that…
Hmmm, I suppose I might need to buy it at the end. It’s a shame not to be able to get the previous games sometimes…
The store is starting to update. Downloading Oddworld now…..
The store hasn’t updated yet, why when I add Summer Sale things to cart it shows me the full price? I’m trying to get Shadow of the Colossus and it shows me 19.99 on the game page and in cart but not on the PS+ pages.
I had it in the cart before but when I entered the store just now my cart was emptied.
The prices evidently already changed back to the normal price because the store actually has begun to update.
This is a great week..Gewtting Oddword for free and buying POP classic, Lego Batman and Lego Pirates and SW2 Force Unleashed 2 and maybe Simpsons Arcade and X-Men
Ok I guess the store has updated, Oddworld is showing as free, but the PS+ Storefront isn’t reflecting that and the previous week sales as yet. Guess I missed out on the sale then :(
alright, i will be checking out Oddworld..thanks
By now everyone should be aware of their specific time zone update.For example i have to wait another 2 hours before the PS store updates for me.
The store updates at this time in these times zones:
Pacific Time 4:00 p.m.
Mountain Time 5:00 p.m.
Central Time 6:00 p.m.
Eastern Time 7:00 p.m.
These are the rough time estimates when the play station store should update itself.
well meh.. nothing really this week for me then, and its not many weeks I say that. I’ll try Oddworld because it’s free, maybe I’ll like it. But I really wanted the SotC on sale tho, my fault I didn’t purchase it earlier but I got caught up in Battlefield 3 and Walking Dead 400 Days.
I usually expect my store to update at 6pm EDT, it was 4:30 when I checked it and saw my cart was emptied. I don’t know the exact time it updates but I know most times I check at 6pm it’s updated by then.
Its a rough estimate for me it normally around 7
Its so nice to be a member. Thank you so much Sony for everything you do. I love my PS3 and this Plus membership has been nothing less than a pure gem. Tuesday is officially my favorite day of the week!
The update is up. Seeing the second week of discounts.
Wow another cheap $10 game! Have had this plus for as long as it has been out. Even got a 500gb ps3 to download more games. Why can’t we get quality games, its not like we actually own them. Very disappointed for another week, will be canceling next year!
@emanz12
Try typing the game(s) you want in the “search”, they should already be there. If you’re waiting for the official store update blog you could be waiting for hours!
Thanks for the update.

Can’t wait to pick these games up like Lego Batman 2 and I hope you guys put Bioshock 2 for free or PS Plus
@ShadowX905
Bioshock 2 was already free a few months or so ago already. I doubt that will be back anytime soon.
The store is updated ! You just have to search for everything manually!
Wow I’m so disappointed never would I have thought that ps plus would stoop this low seriously how can you give us a an only on Xbox 2001 game when stranger wrath is right there but i am busting my whits with this,with all due respect why do you at playstaion USA do this only a ten year old or someone who isn’t a gamer idk but Jesus Allah Mohammed Elohim Zeus Baal spaghetti monster that robot that’s gonna bring Tom cruise and followers nothing everything why would you do this oh wait you r amatures
Curious, why is Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes listed with two different prices? Plus members pay either $7.50 or $5.00. Are we being given a choice of how much might pay? Besides getting hung up on prices, I’m excited for the deals this week.
Lego Batman 2 is 7.50 for the PS3 and 5.00 for the Vita.
I went to check the store but it still list last weeks games as on sale but when I went to buy one it no longer had the sale price.
