  • *Sigh* I thought we were going to get more IGC games today on E3….

  • NO WAY.
    THIS IS AWESOME.

  • @199 I doubt it. The game is like $15-20.

  • Whoever hasn’t played the walking dead, buy it now!!! For $5 it is an absolute buy and a steal!!!

  • Thank You

  • i have a qustion i had bought the uc3 game and used the online pass code but my dog messed up the disc so will i still beabel to plau the full online part of the game with out needing a disc

  • and when can we download the games caus ei was jsut on and none of the games are up yet

  • I bought psvita because I thought it’s the most powerful handheld gaming console. But after watching 2013 E3, psvita’s future will be only as accessory! We don’t want to buy PS4 just to play psvita!

    My 300$ psvita gaming console is now just an accessory! Thank you Sony for killing PSVITA!

  • And only 2 psvita games on sale! Wow really great for vita owners! e3 2013 signed the death of psvita.

  • please asnwer this morgan is xcom and little big planet going to have multiplayer enabled? btw why is it when you guys put a game on ps+ you guys always disable mp /: oh and also awesome E3 conference already pre ordered my ps4 !!

  • @210 I don’t recall the mp being turned off for LBP2.

  • dissapointed in the fact that there were no sales on Stardust Delta interstellar bundle as well as no discount on Guacamelee. :(

    Vita got shafted. Any word on when these games may be discounted?

  • I just built a $600 PC, now THIS! There goes my wallet!

  • I’m concerned that in the future the majority of subscribers will have PS+ memberships for multiplayer instead of the game collection which may result in service changes which negatively affect those of us who subscribe for the games.

  • Keep IGC/Discounts and more for PS+ as long as you can, especially for PS3 I hope that will be till 2017. I don’t wanna throw away my PS3.

  • Call of Duty Black Ops II is $29.99 right now on Amazon for the rest of the week anyways. Not such a great price for PSN or PS+ members!!!!

  • Aaah when will this happen??? I’m dying to play some xcom!

  • Nooooo, not xcom. I already have it and U3. Xcom is a great game so enjoy everyone. Need to get back on U3 and finish it.

  • Playstation has beautifully incorporated the business models of it’s best competitors with inovation and loyalty. Thank you for PS+. I converted from a PS1 fanboy to an XBox360 but playstation has officially won me back for the next generation. Buying a new PS3 last month was the best gaming purchase I have made in years! Thanks! Looking forward to the PS4!

  • When will the store reflect these updates? I’m ready to buy some games.

  • Tomb raider, nba 2013, metal gear r. So many good sales but I just don’t have time for all these =( it would be nicer if plus subscribers can get a bit more discounts because there isn’t that much difference than nonsub

  • Will these four game be out during June? I didn’t see them posted today.

  • I f***ing love PS+. Been needing UC3, LBP Racing always seemed interesting but not worth my money, and XCOM seems promising.

    I’ll never forget thinking PS+ was just a joke that gave small discounts and crappy little PSN games for free.

  • $30 for NBA2K13? The season is over and finals are ending in a week or so. You can get that game anywhere for that price; it’s not even remotely a good deal. Sports games have the worst value retention of any games, as they’re basically just expensive roster updates, and trying to stick that in your almighty E3 sale as a “bargain” is laughable. Want to impress sports fans? Give us MLB: The Show 13 for $30. But, no, that will never happen — at least not until the World Series is about over…

  • @222 I believe the PS+ updates come between 3 – 5 pm (Eastern Time)

  • @224 sports games should only be bough on eBay or Amazon. GameStop, PSN, XboxLive, all overprice old sports games. PSN was selling Madden 12 for $30 when it was on eBay for between $8-$15.

  • my IGC wishlist
    ni no kuni
    darksiders 2

  • Are the PSVita games also coming out on the PSN today, the 11th? Been waiting since it was announced for God’s eater burst, Fantastic line up!

    Also, fantastic job bringing your customers the gaming system they’ve always wanted. (ps4)

  • Wishlist:

    Uncharted Dual Pack
    God Of War Origins and Ascension
    Hitman Absolution
    Max Payne 3
    Twisted Metal
    Tomb Raider
    Gran Turismo 5
    Batman Arkham City
    Crysis 1, 2 and 3

  • The Walking Dead at that price seems too good to pass up.

  • It’s sad that when ps4 comes out its only 1 free game a month D:

  • Hey Morgan great to have you back. Hope you enjoyed your well deserved vacation.
    Great IGC list. Just waiting to get on UC3 again. This time ill go for plat.
    Amazing discounts. Planning on picking up Tomb Raider and Sound and Shape finally. I hope sounds and shape is cross buy. Pls correct me if I’m wrong but I can buy this on vita and download it on my ps3 for free right?
    Anyways keep up the great work.

  • @hazelcabug: Please stop your whining and “You killed the PSVita” crap. Vita owners have gotten the plus content solidly for about 2-3 months now with maybe only one PS3 game being available for download every other month if that.

  • At the risk of “RTFM”: what time do these deals go live? I just checked and XCOM still shows as $39.99 for me and I’m a plus member.

    Thanks!

  • Just re-subbed to Plus, X-Com is too good an offer to pass up! Already have UC3 and Machinarium on PC but i’d be cool to play it on PS3, Karting I’m also excited to play.

  • @Chuji

    The store usually updates between 3-5 p.m. Eastern. I was hoping for an earlier update today because of the large download file of U3, and the amount of people downloading all the available content.

  • when will this go live?

  • SMOKIN’ SICK STYLE UPDATE
    Thanks a lot! I really wanted to play those games that are free now, I don’t think that I will like X-Com though.
    Too bad I’m way to busy to play because of university labors and stuff ;_;

  • I think it’s going live sometime between 3-5pm EST, but I expect it to crash or be very slow due to how many people probably got plus specifically for this update.

  • I just got my PS+ subscription today, am I still able to download Little Big Planet 2 for free? (I understand it was one of the free games at least up until yesterday, but I’ve no idea if it still is – and I’m at work which is why I’m asking instead of just checking myself). thanks!

  • So, is XCOM free now? Or later this month?

  • @ShadowNinja569 – It’ll be free today, just have to wait for the update.

  • @ShadowNinja569

    It will be free today when the store updates, which could be any time between now and ????

  • I have a PS+ Member and have a PS3 and PS Vita, Now that PS+ is only for two devices, I will be pre-ordering my PS4.. So what happens to the two console Limit.
    I still want to play/download games on my PS3 as I am a PS+ member and also my VITA and PS4
    Has Sony said something about this…..

  • @klassymike – 2-6pm PT typically.

  • @DonkeyKongKilla

    I know, but I’ve seen earlier and much later too. We just never know truthfully.

  • Wishlist:

    PSN STORE:
    El Shaddai – Ascension of the Metatron /// I can’t find this game in stores and would be happy to buy it. Freakin’ awesome looking game that deserves some justice.

    CLASSICS:
    (PS2) Persona 4 /// This would be an instant seller for one. I own the game but don’t want to bother getting out the PS2 just to play it, $10 ready to give you! Might as well just say that also goes for more or less any title released by Atlus on the PS2.

    PSN+
    Any fighting game really. I own a handful of these already on disc but having them on HD is so convenience.
    The original reason I got my PS+ was based on the Street Fighter update and getting King of Fighters on the side was nice. (Both of which I owned on disc)

    Not so worried about free stuff, but the paid contents I would be happy to see!

    Thank you for not being too vita based at the moment. As I don’t know the statics on your end, I can only say I don’t know anyone who has a vita in person and know many people with consoles. It just makes sense to favor the console. Handhelds will always be just that. Nice updates this month either way. (Return of the shark gun)

  • @klassymike – Yeah I feel ya on that one. updates run a little unpredictable.

  • @ShidoXen – Yeah they make a deal with the developers for only a known $10. haha. I’d suggest doing a petition like the other guy did. Then Sony will know there’s a fan base for money coming in if they did it.

  • @DonkeyKongKilla

    Exactly. The last few weeks has been pretty early though.
