  • Paying $50 for garbage is ultra expensive. Give
    Me PS Plus for free and I won’t complain

  • They’re not gonna have hit games every month you guys this is just the filler until we get some super rad stuff between now and Christmas

  • Upset, angry and totally disappointed.
    Lame on-rails game?
    where is AC3? NFSMW? RPG GAME?
    lame sales too

    WORST MONTH EVER!! at least give us some decent free avatars…

  • 2 months in a row worse then EU PS+….great job US PS+.

    I’m very angry, in my 3 months subscription’m completely disappointed, please surprise us next month PLEASE!

  • pretty sure theres gonna be more sales than this … but seriously stop putting retro city rampage on sale … i think its the game that has seen more sales price tags than any other thing on the psn put other things on sale!

  • Ever since PlayStation announced that PS+ was going to be required for online gameplay and with fans defending the action, PS+ North America has been giving us sh**.

    We probably should’ve kept our mouths shut…or our thoughts to ourselves.

    PS+ N.A. was great until July 2013.

    probably going with an EU account after this one expires

  • We are just in the first week of September, so I expect at least some sales. My subscription expires next month I believe, probably renew it.
    Wjy is Retro City Rampage on sale again? I got it for $5 and now it’s $3 and it’s been given away for free last year. I am really excited about Castle of Illusion tomorrow whenever the store updates.

  • The only reason I’m disappointed that RE Chronicles is free this week… is because I already bought it. XD But I think they’re very fun (Umbrella Chronicles at least, haven’t tried Darkside Chronicles), so I’d recommend giving them a shot, folks!

  • Looks like I picked a bad time to try out three months of Playstation Plus. :( I hope the next two months are a lot better than this one.

  • Ok I maybe get not putting AC3 for free yet, but at least discount the assassin creeds games, come on Sony Europe is laughing at us right now!

  • I’m very sad with this PS PLUS update. Plus Europe is so much better :(

  • This update is not so interesting this week. I never heard of Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection, so I look forward to trying that out.

    It’s like Ryumoau is desperate for attention. Every post I always seem him say something negative. It’s the truth.

  • Well I’m glad to be a PS Plus member, & for those complaining as usual can’t make you happy all the time. Get used to it. And for those that say there letting the PS Plus membership go oh well. You will be easily replaced.

  • Oh God, please let Ryumaou have his internet permanently shut off.

    I cannot stand reading this tool’s posts week after week.

    I know you can read this you dumb tool; I’m glad your blu-ray drive went out. I’m even more glad that you are too cheap to repair it or buy a new PS3.

    lol. I LOVE it when PS+ gets games you don’t like. Keep these types of games coming, lol. I already bought this last summer, but man do I ever get a nice laugh when this tool doesn’t like them.

    Also for any of you noobs, look for previous updates, this months free games have already been outlined in a previous blog post.

  • It’s funny how so many prefer the EU and many EU prefer the US. It would be nice to see every PS+ subscriber able to buy the other at half price. Seeing they already have ps+, it wouldn’t hurt to have the other so a solution is buy one and get the other cheaper. That way ps+ subscribers in the US will buy the EU ps+ at half price and the same for EU with the US and that can lead to more happy gamers

  • Not a bad update. I hope RE Chronicles plays well. I had it on the Wii with Darkside but I traded it in a while ago. So it’ll be fun to try Umbrella chronicles. Waiting for Rayman on Vita. Looks like fun.

  • @ Gamerzlimited,

    Oh for sure, no one else comes here week after week ******* about each update.

    Want to know the sad part? This guy is in his 20’s.

  • Can we all at least be happy about the PS4 coming out in two months :-)

  • Thanks, I have wanted RE:chonicales on Ps3 for abit since iur Wii is collectiong dust, but I did enjoy the first rail shooter. Now I’ll have both. Thanks for so many great deals and games. I’m so glad we got plus back when it first began. So many wonderful games. Itis because of plus that we finally got a Vita a few months back and new memory card. Thank again.

  • Not even worth the trouble to download that garbage.

  • Al igual que Battlefield3 asumo ACIII vendrá el próximo mes, por mi parte al ser un asiduo de Resident Evil me parece excelente esta incorporación; en cuanto a ICO es una obra de arte; ya lo tengo pero no esta mal tenerlo de backup en digital si algún día lo necesito para descarga.

  • I hate when people say “if you don’t like it (Plus), then you should try Live” or “EU gets better games because they don’t have many subscribers. ” All that is wrong. It is like when you are in school and you get a D in a test, but it doesn’t bother you because others did even worse. It isn’t about trying to make something bad a good thing. Stop comparing the service with other companies. If people want to complain, let they do it. They want a better service. They are complaining about US Plus. They don’t care about Live.

  • Not really a fan of this months offerings to be honest. Also I don’t like how the games leaving the IGC were not listed this time. I hope this is not a new trend in the new format. It was nice to see the IGC for September a couple days earlier than what we are use to but It would be better to see whats leaving for the whole month.

    I just keep hoping that next month and Novembers Plus Line up is terrific it would be some icing on the cake before the PS4 drops.

  • I own just about every Resident Evil game, EXCEPT those 2 Chronicle games, so this is actually a pretty damn good surprise for me, this month.

  • I’m sorry Kristine, i don’t know how you all put up with it. Anyone who complains about free games for a service they don’t even have to pay much for is BEYOND idiotic… Even if you’ve only had it the past 2 months, you still got 8-20 games with the service that cost WAAY more than the price of the actual service AND you still get another 2-11 months worth of free games on top of that! Xbox Live Gold? Yeah…. Have fun with Magic 2013 and Rainbow Six Vegas ONE while i play RE HD Chronicles and my other 12 games…

  • You guys really need to make this month up to us. I’m not going to be a completely entitled child over this and claim you’re cheating us, or deliberately insulting us, because free is free. I’m sure that there would have been an equal amount of howling if you’d released AC3 here, because people already have the game, so you’re wasting their money in their minds.

    That being said..there are a LOT of great gaming experiences in the PS library. I’m not happy at the idea that a Wii Port (regardless of if it’s an HD collection of two games or not) is the featured game. It’s kind of insulting, particularly when compared to AC 3 being given to the EU.

    It’s like opening presents on Christmas day, and seeing that your brother got a television, while you got an mp3 player. You still got something, but you’re wondering why your parents love your brother more.

    I eagerly look forward to what October holds, because I can genuinely say that I HATE all three free games this month. If someone gave me physical copies, I wouldn’t even open them. I would sell them or trade them in, because none of these games are worth a second of my time.

    So how about you make it up to us in October, please?

  • If I didn’t have it already, I’d download it for sure. On the other hand, I find nothing interesting about this week’s discounts.

  • The free game I think is great even though I bought it the day it came out. Despite the people complaining I understand not every free game is going to be some thing for ever one. The sale though is completely sad. After blowing lots of money last month on games like DOA5 plus, UMVC3 , DW Next, Limbo, Journey, EDF 2017, buetiful katamari , and lots more. I have more money I was looking forward to spending on a good sale… It will be staying in my pocket. At least I have KillZone next week for vita to look forward to.

  • I would like to see these in the US PS+
    1) Red Dead Redemption
    2)DmC
    3) Max Payne 3
    4) Darksiders 2
    5) Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
    6) ICO and Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection
    7) Batman Arkham City
    8) Mass Effect Trilogy
    9) Grand Theft Auto 4 complete
    10) Psychonauts
    11) Limbo
    12) L.A. Noire
    13) Beyond Good and Evil HD
    14) Dark Souls
    15) Metal Gear Solid HD collection

  • RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE POST:
    You can’t be serious. How can you offer us Hitman Absolution, a game with technical issues that has left hundreds of people (at least) without the posibility of coming to an end, because the saved data gets lost randomly (the same for the Contracts Mode). At the same time, you are supporting the bad behavior of the company in charge of HA, because promissed on their official forum (forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?s=563c38ee688739184931ffe696d27f03&t=131742) to give us a solution but they have done nothing from the released date until now.
    I consider this disrespectful, specially coming from Sony…How is this possible?
    I’m STILL waiting for an official answer…

  • This PS+ Update is stale and boring, was hoping for a better on seeing how rayman legends is being put on this month and so is Grand theft Auto but you put up a bad mix off discounts and games as the first update. This week has been a let down and one of the slowest ones imo when compared to the EU update this week.

  • @luvmyR6 That is sad. Someone in his 20s should have other things to do than waste their life posting crap about PS+.

    Oh and since he posted it again for the 11th time:

    @maxideaccion I’m an Hitman owner, I find this comment disrespectful and it offends me.

  • So, let me get this straight. RE chronicles and rayman origins were all on sale a few months ago, and NOW you wanna add them to the IGC? You don’t think that that’s pretty foul? I have one more month left of my sub, and if stuff like this is gonna continue to happen, then I really see no need to purchase another one…

  • Eh, I’ll check out RE. Hope we get more free titles for PS Vita.

  • Could have at least put FF13 and 13-2 up for anticipation of Lightning Returns.

  • I already have RE chronicles but I still think it was a good addition to the IGC. Also glad that ICO is there but Shadows of the Colossus should have been included like it was for Europe. Not really the best month so hopefully October is better for us. I would love a RPG to finally be included. The IGC is way better than the crappy Xbox Live Gold free games. Crackdown, Magic 2013 and Rainbow Six Vegas are awful games to offer. Thanks.

  • what? retro city rampage is on sale AGAIN and it costs more well at least jpn plus gets both ico and shadow of colosus instead of a a bunch of crappy sales lol

  • Wow, I’ve been a Plus member for more than a year. And every month, the same amount of complaining people. I don’t mean to be disrespectful to anyone, but these Plus posts make me laugh due to the comments from the people here. :D

    I said this earlier and I’ll say this again, nice update! I plan to add another year to my US subscription. :D

  • I don’t understand why so many PS3 subscriber are complaining about this month, at least you guys got good stuffs last july. On the other hand people like me who only have a ps vita system been getting garbage since July. Vita users been getting very fighting psp/ vita indie since July. Since July I never played any games they put in IGC. Unlike in EU and Asia they both got full retail ps vita games since July. Hope PS plus NA for vita will be shut down and transfer vita subscriber to either Asia or EU region. This service is garbage for vita subscriber, 3 consecutive month of indie vita and psp July-Sept. I wont count rayman origin as good stuff because they JERK on us by putting it on sale 2 weeks ago in which most vita users purchase it.

  • It’s difficult to complain about Plus vs XBOX LIVE when it comes to games. Plus is hands down the better of the two if you’re a gamer. I have both.

    There are things that XBOX does better…ESPN and their MUSIC Service are two things I prefer over the PS3 fo’sure. Their MUSIC service is hella better than Sony’s…if Sony had better services I would definitely not own an XBOX as I prefer the depth of Sony’s games a bit more. And I hope Sony continues on making great decisions and forcing MS hands. It’s better for ME :)

  • How much longer are you jackasses going to complain about Plus? I can’t believe all this whining is still going on… from mostly the same people.

    It’s 97 cents per week. This update (and every week’s update, actually) is easily worth way more than that.

  • “We pay for this service” is an extremely weak argument… so weak in fact that I shouldn’t even acknowledge it, but the reason it’s so weak is because:

    You subscribed voluntarily. Plus has never been mandatory. Sony clearly advertised what Plus offers and they’ve delivered exactly what they said they would. NO DECEPTION. They delivered. Period. They never promised $60 games every week. They only promised games. You shouldn’t expect $60 games every week anyway… for $50 a year? Are you stupid? Be realistic.

    And as stated above, it’s 97 cents per week. Yeah, you pay for it, but you don’t pay much. Excuse me for not feeling sorry for you selfish brats who pay a whopping 97 cents per week for a gaming grab bag and didn’t get exactly what you wanted. It’s like buying a box of cereal that says “Mystery Prize Inside!” and then being angry with the cereal company for not putting exactly what you had envisioned at the bottom of the bag.

    If you know what you want, you go out and buy it. Stop making these pathetic demands.

    You’re getting your money’s worth anyway, even if you don’t like a single game on the IGC. Plus has other perks, and their combined value clearly exceeds the cost of the annual subscription.

  • I’ve been a PS+ member since the first week it launched.

    I have NEVER been unhappy with the service, nor have I ever felt the quality of the giveaway games or the sales was lacking such that I’d need to go on this blog and act like a spoiled child.

    Those of you who keep looking at the EU PS+ with envious eyes need to realize… the US service gets better sales and a better variety of games you might have missed. We don’t get as many high-profile AAA titles (though those do tend to even out after awhile), but what we do get is pretty great, especially compared to what XBL Gold members are getting.

    The PS+ sales are often quite incredible and are only beaten by the sales offered on the PC. It’s normal for PSN to have at least one sale a month where great games are marked down to 66-75% off for Plus members. It’s been particularly great for Vita owners over the summer; a lot of great Vita games have been $10 or less.

    If you really want AAA titles, there are plenty of ways to get them very cheap (buying secondhand, renting, shopping sales, etc).

    Sony’s got a great thing going here. Learn to appreciate what you’ve got.

  • I wasn’t overly thrilled with this PS+ Update until a few hours ago when I found out that my niece had a PS Move Controller that she no longer wanted. So I grabbed it from her and now I just have to find a PS Eye Camera and I’m in business! Never really wanted a Move controller, but RE Chronicles has spurred me to grab one. Now I want to look back to see what other Move games I’ve missed out on. Looking forward to playing Chronicles HD!

  • @PrimeroIncognito I must agree with everything you said. You put a lot of reason into your post, I feel like everything you say is true. People don’t see that, but I do. Don’t listen to what other people has to say about you.

    In their eyes, it sounds like they’re saying that Sony put a gun into their heads and force them to sign up for PS+. That’s stupid because it’s completely optional and it’s not required to play online (Not counting the PS4). They’re just jealous because they’re too poor and spent all their money thinking PS+ will get what they want. Life isn’t free, deal with it.

    To me, PS+ is already getting my money’s worth. It’s not the free PS+ games, but the sales. I consider the freebies extras to me. I love to get games for super cheap and getting to keep them forever. If it’s not my favorite game, fine. As long as it’s something I never played before, then I will enjoy it still.

    If you guys refuse to renew your subscription, fine. But don’t cry that you have to pay extra for their sales. It’s your fault that you didn’t pay to renew it. Now, I feel like PSN sales require PS+ for even deeper discounts.

  • It’s probably good that this week’s update is so lame. I picked up way too much these past two weeks and I need time to play all of it!

  • Dissapointed with this one. Last couple months have been bleh.

  • I’m happy with this. I love lightgun shooters, this will give me an excuse to use my move. The discount on puppeteer is cool, but that’s one I would prefer a physical copy of. Thanks for the update, you can’t please everyone all the time, but this week works for me.
