You’ll find all the content detailed above with their Plus benefits active when the PlayStation Store updates on 5/21.
So tell us, what are you most excited for this week? Your comments and feedback matter, so leave them below, or, if you’re looking to engage with more of the PS community, make sure you head over to the PlayStation Community Forums to discuss this week’s news more, find other topics to contribute your thoughts to, or start one for yourself. Also, I’ll be out for the next couple weeks, but my good buddy and fellow Community Manager Paul Sullivan will be bringing you all the Plus news while I’m out. See you in the comments!
Thanks for the update. As usual, here’s my weekly request for IGC games:
God of War (any/all games in the series; digital versions of GOW3 & Ascension)
Grand Theft Auto (any/all games in the series)
Metal Gear Solid HD collection for PS3, digital version of MGS4
Red Dead Redemption
Saints Row 3
Uncharted (any/all games in the series)
Also, could you add Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops to the Vita store? It’s available in all regions except North America, and it’s also the only MGS game I haven’t played!
Hm, interesting. Germinator looks neat.
Men’s Room Mayhem is only .97? Well heck, why not?
Cool.
A little disappointed Blaz is the last week but I can wait.
Morgan, can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get a standard time for the Plus update to go live? Tired of checking every hour on Mondays.
Anyway, thanks for the update!
1st id like to say Morgan I like that you respond to most of the comments. 2nd. Is the LAST OF US going to be day 1 digital? If not I really need to pre-order but I would really prefer the digital version. 3rd. I really like the discounts this week. Last but not least I really like sleeping dogs thanks Morgan and the rest of the ps plus team
@5
Agreed. Pretty good sales as far as games go!
uh… i’m so broke right now…. Dead space,bioshock, tomb raider, GOW, PS+ deals, and etc… heck i’m still saving money for LOU and RE:R
*Question*
@HARO
Will the digital version of RE:R include DLC from gamestop?
if so does the game have to be pre-ordered or not?
please reply
Thank you
Is the PS3 (not vita) version of Germinator ALSO free this week?
Is Blood Dragon included in FC3 Ultimate?
One issue with the satisfaction poll: it really needs an “I already owned this game” option. If I own it already I’m not going to be crazy about a game being in the IGC, but if I didn’t own it the game may very well be something I’d answer “very satisfied” to.
Good deals by the way :)
Also, I hope you advertise that PS+ $10 deal in some way. It seems like it’s mostly aimed at getting new subscribers and most people who check here already do.
I would take advantage of the deal but my Plus is already until next year and Im waiting to see how it is on PS4 before i decide to add anymore time to it.
Any teaser or news on June’s Plus update next month? I am curious to see if we get anything really special/good since it is E3 time then.
Also any news if those games that have been in plus the entire year like LBP2, Infamous, 2, Ratchet and Clank will be replaced next month around E3 since it has been a year for them. Saw rumors online that there was a chance of that happening. Thanks!
Great update!
Men’s Room Mayhem is already cheap and now that you give us a discount for it its a must buy!
@ 1 that would be AWESOME
I’m so broke, I can’t even afford Men’s Room Mayhem for .97 cents! *laughcry*
@6 Jayrev Yes, The Last of Us will be Day 1 Digital.
@9 DarkSeraphim666 Yes.
HONESTLY
Can the Big PS Vita Titles NOT be the last week of every month? It’s like a Disrespect to the PS Vita owners, we see about a month ahead of time that we are getting one BIG title for the month and PS3 always get’s the big game the beginning and Vita is the opposite? That’s just annoying, If we got the earlier it would make it feel more worth it. It makes me feel that the PS Vita is always just waiting til the last second for everything. And it doesn’t help that Sooo many broken promises are made for the Vita (Crackle, Crunchyroll anyone) as well as not pushing hard enough for important things (Crash STILL not on NA Vita while the rest of the world can play it)
Dang. Just bought my PS Plus from Gamestop a couple weeks ago.
@14 Shinara_Soldier17 I’m pretty sure inFamous 2, LBP2, & R&C All 4 One will always stay there. They have to have 3 exclusives on there to give more people a reason to buy a membership. So expect those thee, probably forever.
The free game sounds cute. A lot of great discounts, I might get metal gear rising.
does mens room mayhem have a gloryhole or is it separare dlc
Kind of a Bleh week. Two sub par vita games and an underwhelming ultimate week. Last year’s had more I was interested in. But I have enough games to play so I can wait until June since next week is just ANOTHER fighter.
Here are a list of games that I hope join the IGC soon
Re6
Max Payne
Dishonored
Sky rim
La noire
Black ops 2
Burnout paradise
Re5
Crysis 3
Soul calibur v
Tomb raider
Red dead redemption
Hit man absolution
Playstation All Stars
Mortal Kombat Komplete edition
Metro is such a great game imho. Will definitely pick that season pass for all that DLC.
I’m guessing Next month won’t be a full month reveal June 4 and possibly 11 will be the only reveal, then they will announce the change of legacy titles on plus. I am guessing 2 of them will be LBP:K and PSABR. Can’t think of what the third title will be. I’m praying that it will be an Uncharted Trilogy pack.
Pinball Arcade first of all is not that great of a game I played the demo and it isn’t fun at all compared to the Zen Pinball Series. Also most of those discounts are rip off prices. Most of those games alone are 10 bucks new if you look around also if you add in all of the DLC it would be cheaper to buy the disc and DLC separate than buying those bundle from the PS Store. I only saw a couple games that were actually a good deal to buy from that selection.
Love the poll about our satisfaction with the current IGC games. It might even be nice to be able to fill out a poll including the entire year’s worth of games. As it is, however, I’m afraid you’re going to get skewed results from the same people that wrongly think if LBP and Ratchet & Clank leave the IGC it will benefit them in some way. But a poll that said “how happy were you to get these games for PS+” and included the whole year’s worth of games might give you some good info.
I didnt mean RE5 that was an accident
For the weekly vote I was torn between germinator and men’s room mayhem discount. (since I already own pinball arcade). I think I’m more interested in playing men’s room mayhem, but since we’re really only saving like 40 cents on the discount I voted for germinator.
Sweet, a discount on Men’s Room Mayhem. The cheap price was already solidifying my purchase and now this? EVEN BETTER! I hope that we get more discounts on some of the cheap stuff that releases in the future too!
@18: It’s the same distance between them… I hope you realize this.
Is ratchet and clank coming tomorrow because it wasn’t mentioned on the drop from yesterday???? I wouldn’t be surprised if it got delayed again
I hope you don’t make one of the regular editions of one of these “Ultimates” as an instant PS + game for June, like what you did with the Just Cause 2 and Infamous 2 bundles and then the week after made the stand-alones free for +.
Maybe in July or August…
Sweet, couple new games to play on my Vita this week (Germinator and Men’s Room Mayhem). I wasn’t counting on getting MRM right away, but for $0.97 I’ll happily buy it. Looking forward to services a few dudes in the men’s room tomorrow night!
I may be in the minority here, but I actually like seeing mobile-style games coming over to Vita with budget prices ($1-$2) and trophy implementation. I hope to see more in the future, I’d much rather play these games on my Vita and earn trophies than play the games on my phone.
Please add to the PSN
– Chocobo’s Racing PS1 Classic
– Final Fantasy 4 PS1 Classic (Not the one from PSP)
– Valkyrie Profile 1 Ps1 Classic (Not the one from PSP)
– Valkyrie Profile 2 Silmeria PS2 Classic
– Final Fantasy XII PS2 Classic
And even is coming to HD, but would be good FFX PS2 Classic Too.
And would be nice to see a discount on Ni No Kuni too, just as EU
Also.. i heard sometime ago God Of War – A will be available on PSN too… any news? Because I’m nearly sure many of us are waiting to be in digital to get it ;)
those sales are still pretty pricey. I’d love to have a Vita game sale that doesnt involve golfing if that were possible. I also hope that we get something other than another fighter on Vita next month since we have the 3rd in a row being BlazBlue this month
OH Thank you PS+ Crew!
You just made my week.
<3
I love these low prices for indie titles. Between the $2.99 for Jacob Jones last week and the $0.97 for Men’s Room Mayhem, I feel like we’re finally headed to a great point of competition with iOS! Keep it up!
Also, for the record, Jacob Jones is awesome.
Whats going on with ratchet and clank and velocity ultra, really looking forward to both but no info…hello?
@Zanir9x
You realize that for all of those, save Ni No Kuni (that’s Namco), Square Enix is the publisher, right? It’s their decision to put them on PSN. I’d like to see all of those too, though.
I love Pinball Arcade. I was hoping for discounts on table packs. I don’t suppose that’s happening and it’s just an oversight in the blog, is it?
You have some good deals but games like Batman only cost $19.99 and includes all the DLC so I guess I will have to do more research before buying anything and see if it’s truly worth it :-/
But PlayStation plus is an amazing service keep it up :-)
Hey Morgan,
What were the results from the PSP poll last week?
I would feel more like a community member if you shared this information, thank you!
@ Morgan
Ive felt hesitant to sign up for PS+ for the past few months ive skipped out because it is not known what will happen with the PS4 & PS+.
I dont want to spend money on a years worth of PS+ if i will no longer have/use a PS3 in a few months from now. Is it safe to say the money spent on PS+ now will immediately carry over to PS4?
Otherwise there is lots of money wasted.
I’m sure (actually i know) im not the only one holding out on PS+ for this reason. And it seems weird because your kind of losing would be subscribers for the next few months.
Do you have any helpful comments?
can we have that witches and knights sale Europe got a few weeks back or how about letting us buy the pversion of plus we want I’d prefer the European plus but I can’t buy it even though it’s $50 like ours
oh and those deals are a rip off
My prediction for PS+ titles for June are Batman AC and Persona 4 Golden, but apparently we only get 1 full game from now on so I sticking with Batman AC for reasons why look at UTE then remember last years UTE and IGC and there’s your answer
So which of those new ultimate bundles will be part of the IGC next month? Yes, after a year, I still feel a little burned buying the inFamous 2 ultimate bundle only to see it announced as part of the new IGC three days later. :(
Also, I was hoping we’d see a sale on Pinball Arcade DLC tables for those of us who already own it. Perhaps in tomorrow’s store announcement?
Great games coming!!
But i would like to know when i will be able to play Jeanne d’Arc on my Vita, since i don’t have a PS3, and don’t wanna buy one.
