  • Shank 2 was free for + members awhile back…JSR and NID have been on sale like 3 times! Don’t like puzzle games or golf and LBPK is pathetic I played it in beta. Already have Jak and Psychonauts and the whole R&C Trilogy…so again nothing for me…and give me a break Foosball? Plus the golf game is going on 5 years old…give us some good games with the + discounts.

  • Foosball? cmon this month was really bad for the US plus only one good tittle Darksiders… Meh im starting to regret even pay 50 us for this.

  • love to see these discounts but can’t you do it with better games?
    these 13 games are horrible.

  • idk about anyone else but super excited about Psychonauts awesome game. Not so much on anything else this week but love what you guys do keep up the good work.

  • Every time I see these PS Plus “updates” It makes me glad I didn’t buy Plus. It would’ve been a waste of money for these pathetic deals. I’ll buy Plus when you offer games that don’t suck.

  • Some pretty good deals probably will grab LBP Karting but going to pass on Foosball…

  • I know my wife and I have been looking for a new game to play together, and she has had her eye on LBPK for quite a while. $10, cannot say no to that!

  • I’ll be hitting those sales up today! Thanks! Grab me some Foosball while I’m there!

  • Did we ever see a poll of what we might want for PS+ for Vita?

    I would like to vote for PSP games and PS1 games. I miss getting the PS1 games from PS+ from before the IGC started. Themes and avatars were also good to get from PS+.

    If no on the PSP front, any chance of a store-wide 75% off PSP games for Plus members :)

  • @ Heatseeker125

    Don’t give me that “multiple accounts” excuse. Just because you do that, doesn’t mean everyone else does. It has happened countless times, over and over, that when I look at a person’s profile who is complaining about not receiving enough from Plus, they almost always have barely even started (or not at all) the games they’ve already received. Some of them have even agreed that they haven’t played the games they’ve gotten, so it’s definitely a valid point.

    tusunami made that point, and he/she was right, and I simply chimed in to express my agreement. Then that sab_kridiot guy had to jump in and try to turn the whole thing into some trophy contest, while failing to realize his own trophy profile didn’t measure up to those he was messing with. The whole thing just went downhill from there. Quite the debacle.

    slab_kridiot is like a kid who jumps in the pool and splashes around excessively for no other reason than to annoy everyone else. “Look at me everyone! I think I’m really special!”

  • I don’t even want to talk about this anymore, it’s so stupid.

    Can you people just stop complaining about such small-time stuff and try to appreciate what you have instead?

    Damn, there have been countless awesome updates in the past, and there will be plenty more in the future.

    Just because one week here and there doesn’t impress you, it doesn’t mean that you have to splash around like slab_kridiot and act as if there’s some conspiracy against NA going on.

    We’re all truly fortunate to have what we have. It’s sickening to see some people completely lacking appreciation, and complaining about the dumbest things, while demanding more things that they aren’t going to appreciate anyway.

  • This might be that I am too impatient…… But does anyone know when the PS Store usually updates? I have been eagerly checking the store for multiple times and I don’t see anything new shows up….

  • @PrimeroIncognito AWWW! old man is so angry, cuz he doesnt hv any money to get the plus service which he likes a lot. Yes ppl be happy that u r not poor and can afford for this service where as lonely poor old men like primero can’t afford it and troll the ppl who is displeased with what they paid for.

  • @primero
    ‘tusunami made that point, and he/she was right, and I simply chimed in to express my agreement.’

    LMFAO so u don’t hv a mind of ur own and agree to tusunami for what he said which is not true.

  • @Primero

    ‘while failing to realize his own trophy profile didn’t measure up to those he was messing with’

    Yup, U r dumb, I agree. Be happy :) old man, u might hv a heart attack. Told a lot of time, U didn’t even completed 50% of the games to fullest whereas I have played to the fullest. I can only get as much trophies as the games I played. HMMMM, whats the use, u will not understand cuz u r dumb, so think whatever ur peanut sized brain can process. Cheers!!!

  • BEST SALE…THIS YEAR! I’m buying half of the stuff. :D Thank you!

  • Hey kridiot,

    Actually I have enough money. I’m waiting for a certain option to be implemented into Plus before I subscribe. If it never happens, no big deal. I’m content with the way things are.

    As far as thinking for myself goes, well, I’ve actually made the same point that tusunami made in the past numerous times. But I’m not going to go back and prove anything to you. I don’t need to. You’re not worth the effort. Anyone who’s been around this blog long enough already knows what I’ve said. But maybe YOU don’t have a mind of your own. You’ve only repeated what all the other haters have said. Boring.

    And your horrendous grammar is still hurting my brain. Nobody likes the kid who splashes around for attention. I’ll probably decide to ignore you pretty soon, if you keep this up.

  • Thanks for the amazing sale……gonna be picking up Warp, Shank 2, and Hot Shots. Great deal on LBPkarting but my time with kart racing belongs to Modnation. I guess Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, and Unfinished swan will be coming with me as well…… :D or D:, this is why i cant complete games

  • I don’t know what all that “old man” stuff is about…

    Well, I’m 33… I guess that’s KINDA old… but not old enough to be called an “old man”, and I’m not necessarily worried about having a heart attack. My diet is generally healthy and I get a good amount of exercise and sleep every night.

    The thing I worry about sometimes is my mind. I feel like if I’m exposed to too much stupidity, I may go insane.

  • FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for something worthwhile to convince me to come back on to PS+, & these deals might be that factor. I’ve read mixed reviews for LBP karting, but I really want a game like that. $10 deosn’t seem like that big of a hit. I have my eye on a few others, so we’ll see.

    Fuseball is a pretty cute freebie, but this brings up an issue I’ve had with Plus. They had a PS+ sale on this not too long ago & I bought it. Not that expensive, but it’s another example of them maybe not paying too much attention to long term users. It burns me so much when I see a game pop up for free via PS+ that I bought via a PS+ sale. My prior gripe was with BioShock2

  • @Primero
    ‘Actually I have enough money. I’m waiting for a certain option to be implemented into Plus before I subscribe. If it never happens, no big deal. I’m content with the way things are.

    smirks. So u r very pleased with the service they provide but not pleased enuf to subscribe. yep, reasonable, makes a lot of sense.

    ‘As far as thinking for myself goes, well, I’ve actually made the same point that tusunami made in the past numerous times. But I’m not going to go back and prove anything to you. I don’t need to. You’re not worth the effort. Anyone who’s been around this blog long enough already knows what I’ve said. But maybe YOU don’t have a mind of your own. You’ve only repeated what all the other haters have said. Boring.’

    Y u repeating the same nonsense stuff again and again. I am not going to explain u again cuz showed how dumb u r to understand, fish brain. Read my earlier posts again and again u might get it throught ur pea brain.

  • @Primero
    ‘And your horrendous grammar is still hurting my brain. Nobody likes the kid who splashes around for attention. I’ll probably decide to ignore you pretty soon, if you keep this up.’

    LMFAO! hurt ur what? All I see is a empty space inside ur head. Take an MRI u might be surprised to realize what I said is right. You are the one who came in the morning calling me names, so who’s the “kid who splashes around for attention”.

  • @primero
    ‘Well, I’m 33… I guess that’s KINDA old… but not old enough to be called an “old man”, and I’m not necessarily worried about having a heart attack. My diet is generally healthy and I get a good amount of exercise and sleep every night.’

    AWWWW! Now dont cry. Did I hurt ur feelings?

  • amigos de sony acuerdense que no solo tiene que dar gratis juegos nuevos, tambien existen los ps classic, que tambien nos interesan…

    sony friends Remember that not only have to give new free games, there are also classic ps, which we are also interested …

  • @Primero
    ‘The thing I worry about sometimes is my mind. I feel like if I’m exposed to too much stupidity, I may go insane’

    Dont worry, U need a brain to go insane.

  • @Morgan Haro

    Morgan I missed out on the sale we had and couldn’t pick up “JOURNEY”. Is there any possible way you can help me and others that maybe missed out with a new discount on JOURNEY. I would buy it in an instant if you gave me a discount. With the sales we get on PS+ I cant see myself paying full price when it may be on sale soon. Please discount JOURNEY..!?

  • Ahem… Content with the way things are, meaning, I’m happy with what I already have. But you’re too dense to figure that out.

    Yeah, I’m done with you. You’re never going to “get it”.

  • @Morgan Haro

    By the way thank you for this awesome update..!! I have tons of games to play and look forward to Tuesdays on the network and your posts. Always makes the day better.!!

  • hmmm then y troll the plus page if u r content with the way things are with idiotic posts?

    good now I hope it reamins the same. Not going to explain again, read my previous posts.

  • Foosball seems like a neat game, however, I still insist on that PS+ should offer us PS Classics, I think they are better than any cheap throw away PSN game, that what made PS+ great in first place, diversity of games and content, I don’t know if any of you remember the days when we were very excited when Spyro Trilogy was announced for PS+ for free, or Syphon Filter trilogy , I subscribed early enough to get these games, however, I suggest that you rotate them once more so that new subscribers will be satisfied.

  • I would like to see Dragon age free for Ps Plus or get a discount.

  • @NemoMeImpune – The Store updates during the evening of the day, I live EST and for me it’s about 5-7pm which Sony is on PT which is around 2-4pm there, That’s when it’s usually pushed out but they say they try to push them out early as possible.

  • @ sab_krit,

    If anyone’s trolling here its you with your atrocious grammar.

    Oh wait, I forgot this is a message board, so its ok to type like your eight according to you.

  • If these forums prove anything, it’s that I have to change my avatar.

  • should make the whole ratchet & jak collections discounts, not just the 1st in the series

  • @mnstrings – Honestly, if you can read it and understand it to the extent to give a reply back, it’s not exactly that bad. Also to simply put, if it’s that bad that you feel your arguing with someone that is that bad on their grammar. What does that make you for replying and arguing with that person. sab_krit said it himself, you don’t like how he writes simply don’t read it.

    @Arguments – Honestly, we all need to grow up and stop this, everyone here is basically on the same basis about this. We all argue our view points and shun out the others, it’s not a debate it’s a childish argument that serves no point. I’ve learned that arguing with Primo which is why I simply just said I have to stop this once and for all. Take the leap in faith, let those unsatisfied say what’s on their minds, say what’s on you mind about your opinion of the update and be done with it.

    -My plan is to say how I feel about the update and answer any questions people have that I can help them with. I suggest everyone stop with the childish bickering back and forth and step up and do the same!

  • Everyone has the right to have their own opinion about anything in life or on the network. But when you have 3 pages of heated arguments over a personal opinion in the way its being done makes the strength that your words have that much weaker.

    If theres always arguing, whining, or just plain being a jerk your going to be labeled that way. You’ll lose credibility. And the day we need to be heard over an important matter No One at Sony will be there to take us seriously.

    Just a thought

  • Will be getting Warp without doubt…great game and for a great price can’t miss…would love to get LBP Karting since I still dont have(yes its a shame)but I hate digitals…may pick Unfinished Swan also would love to get escape vektor but $8.00 still is a bit expensive…and I’ll have to see if the Foosball game is really good.Anyway not excited about this week update.

  • @mnstrings LOL u r still hanking on the grammar stuff. It’s getting old already. I am just amused how u hate my comment without grammar and still read them and come back and say the same stuff.

    @DonkeyKongKilla Really, I wonder y she reads my comments, if she hate them and if its not unreadable like she says so. I want to stop arguing but they just come with their guns blazing at me for unreasonable reasons.

  • @ 404 Nineduce12 – Yeah troll…keep trolling.

  • @ Donkey

    You’re not being realistic.

    But first of all, you need to stop acting like a little angel, because you were one of the most negative whiny trolls for a while there. If you’ve grown past that, good for you, but don’t act like it never happened.

    Back on topic, I’d love to be able to talk about gaming related stuff here all the time, and only that. That’s what I’ve always wanted. But even if I ignore all the trolls from now on, they’ll still post all their garbage and ruin the mood here. They won’t stop unless someone steps up to stop them. And even then they won’t completely stop, but at least maybe they’ll think twice before saying something stupid.

    For the millionth time, there isn’t anything wrong with constructive criticism, but that’s not what trolls do! You know this. And stop trying to make me out to be the bad guy. I don’t go after anyone who doesn’t troll. All positive comments AND posts with constructive criticism go unchallenged by me. It’s only the bash-and-run idiots who draw my ire.

  • @sab_krit – I’m just saying, it’s just ignorant for arguing opinions, and now it’s very distracting while trying to help out on peoples questions.

  • @DKK,

    You think its not that bad? I seriously have to do double takes, sometimes triple, because the dunce chooses to poorly phrase his comments. When he starts spouting these ridiculous things and then has the gall to call someone a troll, when he’s in fact doing the trolling, you bet I’m going to call him out on it.

    @ sab_krit,

    Yeah ok whatever you say. Not even going to try and make sense of what you just said. It sounds like you are saying two things at once, not even going to bother trying to waste my time deciphering that one, genius. “Comment without grammar”

    WTF? This guy desperately needs to take a remedial English course. Maybe one for recent immigrants?

  • @PrimeroIncognito
    ‘I don’t go after anyone who doesn’t troll’ LMFAO Nothing to say.
    Everyone knows who’s the biggest troll here.

    ‘All positive comments AND posts with constructive criticism go unchallenged by me. It’s only the bash-and-run idiots who draw my ire.’
    If you think they are bash and run, y comment on them when they obviously going to run and not read ur comments.

  • @mnstrings all I see is blah blah blah, nothing abt the updates and same no grammer stuff. Stop trolling already. Noone cares abt ur speech on english. Nobrainers like u will never understand, dumb***.

  • For all those who love to point out the “don’t be a jerk” rule, make sure you’re not being a jerk yourself. Because most of the time, you are.

    You’re being a jerk when you constantly bash everything and never leave a positive comment, or at least respectfully offer some suggestions. You’re being a jerk when you attack the people who work the blog when they haven’t done you any harm. You’re being a jerk when you accuse those who are satisfied of being paid shills who work for Sony. And you’re being a jerk when you’re always a jerk in the ways listed above… but disappear for a while and then show up a few days or weeks later and act like innocent little angels who’ve never caused any trouble before…

  • @DonkeyKongKilla – WOW u r really good at ignoring those trolls. I wish, I can do the same. Is here a block button for this blog page anywhere?

  • – You have to learn at one point, I did, arguing here, no matter how much you think you did something right or justified, or even how many people agree with you, that’s not the purpose of this blog, Sony can defend themselves against the so called “trolls” and if it really bothered them, they would ban them on it.

    -Your points are a waste of time because everyone that’s on here it goes in one ear and out the other.

    -Primo – I said I’ve learned from our arguments. I honestly don’t care if anyone decides to call me a troll.

    Ouch being called a troll hurt my feelings! I’m going to argue something to feel justified!

    C’mon now, it does no justice and that’s the point I am trying to make.

  • @DonkeyKongKilla – Shoot, the old man made u reply for his troll again. Damn it, he’s so annoying and dumb to ignore :D

  • @sab_krit – Just do what I do, See their comment, skip on by. I read into the first two sentences of primo’s, I noticed my name mentioned in a few and kept on by. But honestly, you don’t reply nor read, than they have no one that cares enough about them to comment back. They’ll feel like the victor for the bash-and-run but deep down inside you saying, I don’t give a damn about what they have to say. You know who actually won.

    -Actually, No one wins these arguments.
