While we’re smack-dab in the middle of the holiday season, we thought we’d drop in and deliver some new content for PlayStation Plus members. Don’t forget that you still have time to make Plus a great stocking stuffer for the PlayStation gamers in your life. You can buy online, get the voucher code, and then give that voucher code to your friends and family.
Now, to business! Plus members will be getting the wonderfully hilarious 8-bit styling of Retro City Rampage free, as well as extra savings on the continuation of the PSN Holiday Sale.
Important note: We’ll be updating the PlayStation Store today (Monday, 12/24) due to the Christmas holiday. Therefore, this Plus update will be live later today when the update has published.
Don’t have PlayStation Plus? Go to the PlayStation Store on your PS3 or PS Vita or click here to get access.

We’ll be back next week with more Plus goodness, but make sure you make your voice heard in the comments below, and also make sure to vote in the polls. Please remember that while we closely look at the results from polls, they are but one of many factors we use when deciding how we move forward or make any changes, if any are made. You can also delve into the PlayStation Community Forums in the PS Plus space to chat more about Plus, find other like-minded gamers, and make friends! Thanks, and see you in the comments.
lol so the MGS collection isn’t even the Vita version? Geez, that was the ONLY interesting thing in the deal. i thought i could get the collection on Vita for that low price, but its saying its the ps3 version here. So lame. :/
No edit function? Oh well. To the above I already own Retro City Rampage. I’ll stop buying games on PSN now and wait for them to become freebies. RCR is free way too early.
False advertising! The store update has the Vita version of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for sale, NOT the PS3 version. I’m so bummed. Any chance the store is wrong or the price for the PS3 version just hasn’t flipped yet?
Someone said “Who cares what they (EU) get. This is NA and deal with it.”
I am going to deal with it. My sub runs out tomorrow and I have no intention of renewing. Not enough bang for the buck from my point of view. All this “free” stuff is just game rentals any way. And much of it is old that I can pick up for very little $$.
You know, this wouldn’t be as big of a dissapointment if Morgan didn’t say things like “just wait, we will have content to match EU” all the time. Last week was a port of an iOS game and this week is a middle-of-the-review-road novelty game. Neither of those is even close to game of the year material like Batman and in no way matches the EU content wise. I don’t necessarily want what EU gets but if you promise a parity in quality, it is only going to be a let down when that doesn’t happen. Playstation Plus is a great service. I reccomend it to everyone. And if I wasn’t paying attention to what is being promised, I wouldn’t be disappointed in the least… But I am.
@32 i think they should concentrate more on day 1 release game discounts. That way we can get them cheaper and not feel so upset if they decide to give them free later on.
Please fix the Unit 13 price so that I can get it with HSG :)
Really loving these holiday sales, can’t wait to see what’s up for grabs next week!
I so would’ve bought Mafia II and Mortal Kombat if they were the complete editions. Oh well. Love Retro City Rampage for free though.
I think SCEA needs to come up with a solution to compensate those who already own PS Plus free games. Like a 50 percent voucher for a future PSN Store purchase. At the moment, all PS Plus is doing is training me to not buy games off the Playstation Store.
Nothing for me this week.
I like how Morgan says the Polls are importaint but than states.
Please remember that while we closely look at the results from polls, they are but one of many factors we use when deciding how we move forward or make any changes, if any are made.
Key words: if any are made.
So there are no real plans to improve Plus anytime soon for the USA I take it….
We’re always looking at how to improve Plus; but just like any major choice that you would make (let’s say, buying a car) there are a number of factors you’d need to look at. So it’s the same way to how we take in feedback on Plus; polls are a strong piece of data from this section of the community that we use when reviewing the big picture, but they’re not THE big picture. Just want to be upfront with how the polls are used, that’s all. Hope that makes sense! =)
