Woah! RE:Chronicles HD are games I’ve been wanting to play, but probably would never have gotten around to buying! Thank you! Time to dust off the Move!
Thx for 10% discount on Puppeteer ^_^. I’ll be enjoying the game next week., I hope you will open pre-orders for Beyond: Two Souls Day 1 Digital! Please and thank you.
Prime haha really. im mad over some crap that was a year ago ? hell i dont even remember what it was about but its nice and sad at the same time to see that im still on ur mind after a long year. . sorry bro but the true fake ass thug is you. trust me i can tell you aint the type. you all talk and every week you taking it up the rear end by sony. smfhh. oh and you dont like my typing ? deallllll withhhhhhh ittttttttt
@painofsorrow. i hear ya bro, i’ve not been on here in a year either and he’s still in here trolling. imo primer is simply getting paid to try and bother people who have legitimate criticism, enough that they don’t bother coming back, thus maintaining their perfect image of a satisfied crowd base.
personally i’m ok with ps+ at the moment and will keep paying, but i do think the game selection is rather lame, with the odd burst of awesome.
I’m actually glad that RE: Chronicles has been added. It helps complete the RE collection I’ve gotten for free through PS+ when they released the PSOne Classics a couple years ago!
Don’t care about EU getting AC3. AC3 is overrated, and bored me to tears. This coming from someone who loved the first, second and the sequels to AC2.
This is still better than the crap that Live Gold still gets, games that are 5+ years old.
No discounts that interest me this time, but there have been plenty since I renewed that I made my money back easily for the year subscription. People need to look at the whole package, and see if they are getting their value back for the dollars they spent for the overall deal, and quit focusing on weaker weeks.
@297 I am not sure if Morgan was fired or just on vacation, but are you such a petty little person that your videogames come before another human being’s well being. Karma is going to hit you hard. Morgan is not responsible for the titles we get on plus. He is only responsible for relaying that information here, and getting a browbeating from people like you who think you are entitled to the world.
Happy with this update. Don’t want Assassin creed 3. That game is already in the $10 bin and will only go lower when AC4 comes out. Rather get the Resident evil game because the majority of us doesn’t have or will ever buy that game. Go buy an xbox gold if you want Assassin creed 2. :)
Last month I was being a wise guy and said we would get something horrible like Resident Evil 6 in September. Well i would have never thought I would have come close. PS+ is a joke for games and y’all can stick drive club right up there.
Ps4 online better be great because what you’re doing now is pathetic.
The gamer hivemind has to stop letting you spoon feed them garbage.
PS+ is not free. We need better games.
Horrible…..Can I switch to eu ps plus? Is this possible? If not I am not renewing…..I have not gotten a single game I wanted in a long long time. I mean ac3 nfsmw just in 2 months. And we got hitman and re cron…..I mean I am considering pawning my ps4 reserve to get a wii u. At least I can enjoy what I pay for then…..
why so much people are complaining about free or not free monthly games ??? if you don’t like it and want to go with xbl then go !! 4 dollars a month its like buying a candy bar and you get a lot of discounts and games its totally worth it !!
I dont relly care for the resident evil, but i didnt want ac3, the only real problem on this update is that they only give the ico game and not the shadow of colossus
Sony are you ignoring us Plus members?? where’s the exclusive new demo’s?? I would like to play the demo’s from E3 2013! not these Stupid sorry to say PAX games they are so stupid and boring and there copy catting the games from the 80’s generation to 90’s! There does that answer your question??? So please try to reconsider the money that we have to spend on these games and get the picking rights to all game’s support all Trophies yes all games with Platinum’s as well as custom sound tracks for every single picking game already! Heck if you want innovative idea’s well there’s your queue!! Cheers!
First of all, is NOT Morgan´s fault, he doesn´t decide which games comes to the IGC.. Second, is not about the titles we receive is about “QUALITY”!!
Anyways, Im not a big fan of zombie games, as a matter of fact I don´t like Resident Evil movies at all.. But Im gonna give it a try, like I did with with Hitman Absolution, I coudn´t stand the game..
Im looking forward to ICO it might be good, don´t know.
My advice to PS+ NA is, PLEASE STOP WITH THE SHOOTERS!! and get us some nice RPG, Racing, etc…
Other than that Im happy with the service, my first month i got BTF3 and XCOM, I have to say these two games have kept me occupied.
Bit-Trip was a great surprise, had fun with it, I hope ICO does the same.
Pre-order your copy of Puppeteer™ today and your VIP ticket to the theatre of the strange and fantastic will come with these all-singing, all-dancing extras:
• Digital download of the captivating soundtrack by Academy Award-nominated composer Patrick Doyle (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hamlet and Thor).
• PlayStation®3 dynamic theme featuring concept art of the show’s greatest scenes.
• Three exclusive PlayStation®Network avatars of Kutaro, the evil Moon Bear King and the witch Ezma Potts.

This is the description for EU region on Pre-order and it comes with goodies; why are no goodies for US region, I always thought that Digital Pre-orders are the same way for both regions at least not to mention Jap/Asia.
Can you answer please, are there any goodies that come for US version of pre-order for Puppeteer? Please and thank you.
I’m sorry to say this but Xbox Live has a way better selection then you do Sony! The PSN store is a joke right now I don’t see any games worth mentioning at all! Very disappointing! So you can enjoy your silence! You want a retro cool title that Xbox Live has Flashback! Think Metroid on Steroids!! Do you have any games like that??? No you don’t! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Innovation is the key to success Sony! This is something you don’t have with the PSN right now which to me is very sad =(
Morgan wasn’t fired. Nor is Morgan responsible for picking the titles, he’s the front man for the PS+ crew in the background. Think of him as the face of plus.
They always had 3 games for PS3. Arguable that it’s a Retail game or a PSN games, but always 3 titles that are playable on a PS3 each month.
Awesome! Almost bought Resident Evil Chronicles HD several times, but never did pull the trigger since I had one of the games for my now VERY dusty Wii. You have $aving$ ka-Ching! Plus, looking forward to the new F1 game..
Old games, no Vita support. PSP games can rot in hell.
You clearly know that we all bought Rayman Origins a couple weeks ago and now it’s not just “free with PS+” (burn) but taking the space of a game that we might actually enjoy “free with PS+” (outrage).
No, really, do what you want. So do consumers. That’s capitalism.
I’m seriously thinking of going back to arcade cabinet Centipede. Then where will you be?
I never claimed to be a thug. I wouldn’t. I hate sissy gangster kids. You’re the poser who pretends to be “gangsterrrrr” but you hang out on a video game blog all day. What a true “G” you are. Ha. Fake.
I stood up to bullies all the time when I was growing up and still do it to this day. Even my local corrupt police department avoids me when they see me now because of all the grief and bad publicity I’ve caused them. It’s hilarious. You, on the other hand, probably go runnin’ and hide from the po-po when they come chasin’ you down after you tag another ridiculous scramble of unintelligible letters on the side of a wall… and they find the candy bar you shoplifted in your back pocket… sending you back to your mamma with tears streaming down your puffy red cheeks. You ain’t foolin’ nobody, chump. I’d love to catch you alone on the street one day. I would absolutely love it…
Not one AAA game this month for the IGC, seriously?! Not one game not older than 5 years and made for the PS3?! RE Chronicles are rail shooters. They were fun to play on arcade machines in the 90′s (watch Terminator 2)
Where’s Need For Speed: Most? And please don’t bring Assassin’s Creed 3 to the IGC. It was the first game that had a weekend flash sale. And then it was on sale again around the E3. You already screw us enough with sales and then giving away for free
And to the Sony apologists: we don’t get games for free, we PAY for a service. It’s not like we pay for multiplayer and get free games as a bonus. If we are not satisfied or the service don’t meet the standards set by previous months or other regions we have the right and should voice our complaints

@yanchunt And you call yourself and PainOfSarrow loyal Sony customers. In reality, you aren’t loyal at all and your just making fools of yourself. Get a job, seriously. I bet you two sit at home in the same house playing video games all day. At least I can work for a living and can only play once in a while.
@PrimeroIncognito You are voicing your complaints just like everyone else. I don’t see why you have to take crap to all these losers. Just don’t mind them, they’ll be living in the dumpster for not listening to you and that’s their problem.
Very curious about this RE series, haven’t played them.
But why EU gets better content? I’m happy for them, and wish I could have Assassin’s Creed III, MGS HD, etc, too
I mean not just HD ports and sliced game packs (Ico not coming with Shadow) >:( !!
The PPlus concept/service is awesome, but feed it with worthy games as you do with EU.
As some users have stated, I also LOVE PPlus, is kickass and XBox Live looks like a rip off compared to what Sony has to offer. 50 dlls at year is a GREAT deal for what I get.
Still, is the region quality difference the problem for me. Sorry Sony, but is inevitable to compare our Plus with Europe as much as I like the service a lot.
Anyway, I really believe this weakness will turn into stronger game offers.
Keep the good job!
Firing morgan was a good step, and starting a 3 games for ps3 show that they are atleast now trying. Now its a matter of qualitie of the games.
Woah! RE:Chronicles HD are games I’ve been wanting to play, but probably would never have gotten around to buying! Thank you! Time to dust off the Move!
Let us start pre-ordering PS4 games on PSN!! :)
AC3? no thanx, better RE =)
Eh, not too crazy about this one. I’ll give RE: Chronicles a go even though I’m not a big fan of the genre, but that’s about it.
Hopefully October brings something more up my alley :)
Thx for 10% discount on Puppeteer ^_^. I’ll be enjoying the game next week., I hope you will open pre-orders for Beyond: Two Souls Day 1 Digital! Please and thank you.
BEYOND!
i Want the Devil May Cry HD Collection ;-; (SONY PUT OUT DMC HD COLLECTION PLEASE!)
I think some people are starting to get a bit spoiled. This is why we can’t have nice things.
why complain about anything plus. Plus will be mandatory to play multi player on the ps4.
@285
I believe you had to preorder Castle of Illusion before September 3 to get the preorder bonuses.
Prime haha really. im mad over some crap that was a year ago ? hell i dont even remember what it was about but its nice and sad at the same time to see that im still on ur mind after a long year. . sorry bro but the true fake ass thug is you. trust me i can tell you aint the type. you all talk and every week you taking it up the rear end by sony. smfhh. oh and you dont like my typing ? deallllll withhhhhhh ittttttttt
it’s ridiculous that people are still calling these games ‘free’
uhhh hello, ps+ is not free.
@painofsorrow. i hear ya bro, i’ve not been on here in a year either and he’s still in here trolling. imo primer is simply getting paid to try and bother people who have legitimate criticism, enough that they don’t bother coming back, thus maintaining their perfect image of a satisfied crowd base.

And we got hitman and re cron…..I mean I am considering pawning my ps4 reserve to get a wii u. At least I can enjoy what I pay for then…..
Now downloading HD Chronicles
Like I said, RE… No just no. can’t stand it. But GTAV is weeks away so I’m not worried. and of course this guy covers and doesn’t answer anything.
@MAGGERS-EXODIUZ – Around 2-6pm PT.
Thanks im new in this service :)
Another sorry month for ps plus members ! Why no need for speed for free?
You can keep your lame RE on rails shooter while I cry in a corner about how I wasted money on plus. EU always gets great stuff and we get garbage.
why so much people are complaining about free or not free monthly games ??? if you don’t like it and want to go with xbl then go !! 4 dollars a month its like buying a candy bar and you get a lot of discounts and games its totally worth it !!
Can we get some more sales? Honestly, I WANT to spend money, and I would love more reasons to do so =)
I dont relly care for the resident evil, but i didnt want ac3, the only real problem on this update is that they only give the ico game and not the shadow of colossus
Omg are you serious???? this is ridiculous! and you call this a picking update baloney!
Sony are you ignoring us Plus members?? where’s the exclusive new demo’s??

Resident Evil hasn’t been good since RE4 came out.
Pretty bad update, ask the people what games do they want. At least we didn’t get another fighter this week.
EU>US Plus
@Lefoul-123,
I think you need to get a fact check.
Morgan wasn’t fired. Nor is Morgan responsible for picking the titles, he’s the front man for the PS+ crew in the background. Think of him as the face of plus.
They always had 3 games for PS3. Arguable that it’s a Retail game or a PSN games, but always 3 titles that are playable on a PS3 each month.
@SNAKE-EYES73,
And COD is nothing more than a copy cat of Wolfenstein. Talk about coping games from the 1990’s.
ima give this set a really really hard MEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. gotta be the worst ps+ tuesday ive seen. but i guess they cant all be killers…
Awesome! Almost bought Resident Evil Chronicles HD several times, but never did pull the trigger since I had one of the games for my now VERY dusty Wii. You have $aving$ ka-Ching! Plus, looking forward to the new F1 game..

@ ryanchunt
Another conspiracy theorist idiot who thinks I’m being paid by Sony…
Do you honestly think they’d want someone like me talking to you the way I do? Really? Just goes to show how delusional you paranoid kooks really are.
You haven’t the slightest idea about how a business runs. As if all the ridiculous posts you brats put up here haven’t proved that already…
