  • AWESOME !!! loving my vita every second ♥

  • THESE UPDATES ARE LOOKING ALOT BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN SINCE THE DECEMBER LET DOWN :( SO HOPEFULLY SOME OF MY FRIENDS WONT DROP THEIR PS PLUS.

  • @398 was obviously filled with typos galore, but that was meant for TXCScorpion

  • No Ps3 free games??? I can’t belive that… But please, at least give us a GOOD game for ps3 on next week.

    Morgan, do you know when does konami going to launch YU-GI-OH! 5D’S DECADE DUELS PLUS for psn??

  • @ Mahou_86 Don’t you mean “You earned a trophy: weary subscriber won back over!” (Bronze trophy lol)

  • As a Vita only owner, I am very happy with this week’s offering. I was also happy to discover this week, the new internet store that lets me “purchase” all of the PS3 Plus offerings and store them in my account to use if I choose to purchase a PS3 system. This was a real sore spot for me and I’m glad that it has been finely addressed.

  • Woohoo! A good Vita game! /

  • Do you think Sony will ever be up for the idea of letting PS+ member vote for what game(s) will be free/discounted next?

  • Morgan, thank your for the response. I did kinda feel like a genius for a moment, like I cracked a code or somethin’.

    I do have a plan though, hear me out. Do to the unfortunate circumstance that I have not yet played Journey, I will wait throughout the end of the PS3’s life cycle to see if it comes up on Plus.

    If it does not…

    With “PS4” on the horizon, Journey seems like THE game to say goodbye to the PS3. I will buy this game to respectfully part with the old and welcome the new, Plus or not.

  • Morgan, you need to put it in CAPS next time there’s only a Vita game. Not sure why people keep thinking that there was going to be a PS3 game this week, when most of us have known that was going to be the case for the last week.

    Still, know that plenty of us Vita owners are VERY HAPPY with how PS+ is going. As a PS3/Vita owner this subscription is a steal.

  • Hmm that’s an interesting one, Ninja Gaiden is not my genra but I definitely am curious about trying it out. So this update might just be a good thing for me. At least to experience a game I wouldn’t usually buy and it sure had some good reviews.

    Keep it up Morgan, good writing.

    • Thanks; yeah it’s definitely one of the best action games I’ve played. It’s got a bit of a learning curve (regular enemy ninja dudes can regularly take you out if you’re not careful), but once you start getting a feel for it, it’s really something else. You really feel a sense of accomplishment from getting better at the game; which is tough to find imo.

  • I thought it was going to be Sleeping Dogs?

  • First of all, thank you Morgan and the Plus team for bringing us such a great update. NGS+ is a great vita game.
    And second, CRAP!!! I just bought the game less than a week ago…T_T

  • Well, it looks like I’ll be letting my subscription expire on the 31st. In my 4 months as a Plus member, the only games that interested me were Darksiders, Bioshock 2, Space Marine, and Infamous 2. With the exception of Infamous 2, I already had the PC versions of those games on Steam. I also already had physical copies of Little Big Planet 2 and Ratchet and Clank All 4 One. (Those were bundled with my system.) And I have zero interest in military shooters, sports games, brawlers, or similar testosterone-drenched genres that Plus features so frequently. So based on current and past offerings, there is really not enough value for me to renew.

    continued…

  • Already bought ninja gaiden. Still great update ! Keep it up sony =)

  • continued from above:

    I do however have a SUGGESTION: In addition to the existing incarnation of Plus, create another higher service level and call it Plus Platinum or something along those lines. In addition to the existing benefits and discounts of Plus, Platinum members would have unlimited free access to all games and game content (DLC) available for download from the PlayStation store. (A delay of about 60 days to access new releases would be acceptable.) Think of it as being like a digital version of Gamefly, but only for Sony systems. Naturally, it would have to cost less than Gamefly, since they offer games for 13 systems and Sony only has 3. For a service such as this, I would be willing to pay up to $100 a year, which is double the Plus subscription fee. Of course since it was my idea, Sony could show their gratitude by giving me a free lifetime Platinum subscription. :)

  • How surreal. I was just playing Ninja Gaiden II at a friends house and we were talking about how much we would like to play the Vita version. Now I get to tomorrow. What divine luck I have!

  • Great update. I’ve been wanting to get NGS for a while and to get a new Vita game is great. Thanks!

  • i wonder what other games would b free on plus? actually, idk how ps+ officially works. i have a month voucher n im wondering, do i get the games free forever or keep paying 4 ps+ 2 keep it?

    • nolo451 below has the correct answer; so what you may want to do is redeem the month code now; see how you like it through February. If you like the games, discounts, service, etc, then you may want to take advantage of the 1 year+3 months offer that expires on 3/5.

  • @ sora2342,

    The games are yours, so long as you are subscribed to PS+. Once the voucher expires, you can’t play the games anymore.

  • sounds like a good suggeston, thx

  • Oh my god Europe PS+ is getting MOTHER FYCKIN SLEEPING DOGS for February!! What will we get? My guess is some 5-year old junk. Soo wish I had a European account right :(

    Also, that “discout” price of $30 for Madden is hilarious. That game is completely worthless now that the season is over. I wouldn’t even pay $5 for it.

  • + neokid832
    Agree with you !

  • @cat9966 tnx for that info about internet store and getting all that free plus games for ps3, I don’t have ps3, but who knows what life brings. And now officially i follow ps3 games too so I can purchase them for free while I have plus so I can maybe somewhere sometime download them :)

    @morgan Is this game for january or for feb. officialy? I count 4 Vita games from november so I would expect new vita game end of feb or even start of march?

  • Greetings anyone know where I can complain because as my has consumed $ 50 $ 18 to pay the bonus if I authorizes anything when I come to see was renewed only subcripcion plus and I had these $ 50 for 1 year not for 3 months where I complain to my insurance back with the update that had activated the automatic renewal because I had no hope that active prompt response

  • So what happens when PS4 eventually comes out? Will all this content still work?

  • @423 Fx_Mack

    You are going to have to speak in coherent English to get an answer to…….whatever that was……

  • Would love to have Red Dead Redemption and Sleeping Dogs!

  • @ Fx_Mack dude contact support but please use google translator or someone who speaks English as you clearly don’t, no offence

  • P L E A S E F I X T H E L I N K

    For logging in on mobile devices such as the iPod Touch/iPhone web browser.
    It always brings you to a broken link and makes it impossible to leave a comment without the use of a computer.

    P L E A S E F I X T H E L I N K

    I have asked about this for over a month now and no one seems to be working on it.
    Please look into this. I’m sure there are many other faithful PlayStation members who would love to leave a comment, but don’t bother going through all of the trouble to put down the iPhone and turn on a computer just to leave a comment.

    Thanks

  • Good update. Thanks.

  • Nice stuff, I traded my copy of Ninja Gaiden years ago and I could never finish it, I may give it another go :)

  • I was going to post a comment but decided that:
    “This comment is set to private”

    Just like the poll.

    Yeah I already posted it a while back. But it seems it got deleted.

    What’s the matter, I can’t object to the poll being private? You just deleted my post?

  • Woo hoo! Ninja Gaiden on my Vita! I have the game on my ps3 already, but definitely welcome the brutal and hard hack and slash on the go.

  • oh look here’s drGiggles right on cue with the same blithering comments.

    What’s stopping you from getting a EU membership already? I doubt you will do it, then you wouldn’t be able to have your weekly hissy fits here.

    Like most chronic complainers who just call everything offered here crap here, people like you offer no constructive criticism, so its easy to spot trolls like you from a mile away.

    Oh well, I should be happy you’ll still be supporting Sony regardless of where you buy your subscription. Win-Win, haha.

  • How big a file is Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus? I’ve been meaning to try it out and this is a good opportunity to do so.

  • @ pers1m0ny ,

    Who cares? You cant see the poll anyways, I really dont think anyone but you cares about your little post being removed. Last I heard Marco said they wanted to keep poll talk like yours off the comments. Don’t want your comment deleted? Don’t talk about it then.

    If you don’t like it, TOUGH. DEAL WITH IT.

  • kindle for vita!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

  • Not sure if this is the right forum or now (apologies in advance), but is there an option in the PS Store for gifting? I have an 11 year-old niece who’s a huge Little Big Planet 2 fan, and it would be really cool if I could send her a few costumes, and maybe the Muppets level pack. Anyone know if that’s possible?

    … I’m sure the surveys/polls over PS+ content shows we aren’t very satisfied with these weak PSN games. …

    I guess we will never know… the surveys are ‘private’ now. Guess Sony feels like they need to keep the polls a secret.

    Well, as long as that is the case, the only thing I’m commenting on is the fact that the surveys are private.

  • just realized that it was vita lol ohhh that sucks now :( nothing against vita just dont have one

  • mogan since you are replying back how about we get a kindle app on the vita. it locail with the amount of games getting their own books now a days like bioshock , dragon age and mass effect i would love to be able to read game related book/ comics on the vita. mogan so what are the chances of getting a kindle app and can you pass along the idea

    Hahaha you are really funny.

    I am dealing with it just fine. I just don’t think its nice to make the polls private. Just making my opinion heard.
    For the record, I wouldn’t care if your “little post” got removed either. How would you like it.

    And if you don’t like me commenting on this, TOUGH. DEAL WITH IT.

  • @ ojha_cojek thanks men sorry i use translator google but is bad y speack spanish and well show me fo link suport and thanks for writing

  • lol, you complain about not getting a PS3 in one week while we Vita owners only get games at the end of the month.

    OT: Damn, when I was losing my hopes on PS+ you give us Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus and also launch the promotion of the free 3 months, totally going to renew when my subscription ends in mid february.

  • Not a Vita owner, here (again, those memory cards’ sizes and prices!), but I’ll add it to my D/L list.

    Already picked up Greed Corp on some other PS+ discount, so I’ll be tempted to get Gatling Gears, too.

    Otherwise, I’ve just become actually enraged/nauseated by the gun-jumping EU+ dry-humpers. I can appreciate your desires, but comparing a month’s worth of content to the last update of the previous month… Oy.

  • @Fx_Mack https://support.us.playstation.com/app/contact_options you have Contact Support email and contact phone. Good luck

  • I love my Vita! I love plus and Vita. Thanks for the cool game update! TOo bad I have a monstrous backlog of vita games to clear out… how big is the file?

  • Ugh Madden, really? So many real games you coulda had a sale on

  • Please add Lumines to Vita IGC soon.
