Thank god, there was no way they would let EU alone just have BF3!
I am almost having a heart attack here.
I think I need to redownload BF3 now.
Thanks Sony, I have always wanted to play the game!

There, you guys got your BF3, probably because of all the whining. Now, prepare to get gunned down in MP.. ;)

BF3?! Thanks sony, you’ve just taken away my month of July because I thought I didn’t have any games to play! ^_^
steadydecline said:
July 1st, 2:27 pm
worst update ever.
zzamaro said:
July 1st, 2:27 pm
Wow. Great additions, but I’m disappointing with the summer sale, and there’s barely any Vita love :(
And wasn’t Jet Set free already?
Morgan Haro said:
July 1st, 2:34 pm
Jet Set was already free for PS Vita, yes. This is the version for PS3 only.
Andy10003 said:
July 1st, 2:28 pm
Jet Set Radio again? :( Would have been great if we got the Metal Slug Anthology to go along with XX. Also, BF3 is a great game and all but it’s like one of the top selling games of the year it came out. I don’t think it was a wise move to put it on plus seeing as how half of us likely already own it. A very meh month.
EvenStephen114 said:
July 1st, 2:28 pm
Very nice! Not only do we get BF3, but we get to dive into HD remasters of Jet Set and Munch’s Odyssey! I’m really going to look forward to firing up those games for nostalgia’s sake (I was just thinking about how I wanted to re-buy JetSet for my Dreamcast). Thanks guys!
poodude said:
July 1st, 2:28 pm
Amazing update Morgan & team. Looking forward to finally playing Battlefield 3. Munch’s Odyssey should be a delight too, considering Stranger’s Wrath was awesome.

BF3 Yeah!
And Unit 13, any information about this game come to IGC some day?
Morgan Haro said:
July 1st, 2:36 pm
No new information other than what’s shared on the PS Blog; but check every week for updates as they come
RBCJoker said:

I am not into military FPS, but good job mixing things up. Everyone should have their chance to have their fix.
FeddeCampo said:
July 1st, 2:29 pm
Great to know that our store is taking the same games as the european.
Another great month coming :) Thank you SONY and Morgan ONE-MORE-TIME :) thanks a lot for all this!

Looks like a decent month, have not played a BF game since the 1st one don’t like wasting my money on FPS’s so for me it is good for them to be on Plus. JSR was a great game when it came out so excited to play that on PS3 as well. OddWorld will be interesting as well.

Playstation continues to be the best gaming system out there. I pay 50 bucks a year for this and get almost my moneys worth in 2 games. Morgan I know you catch alot of flack, but your doing a great job man, and ill admit it, imma ps fan boy. Been so since i preordered ps1.
Morgan Haro said:
July 1st, 2:37 pm
Nothing wrong with being a fan; appreciate your support for team PlayStation ^_^
FMF said:
July 1st, 2:30 pm
Pretty good update, although I already own Battlefield 3 and don’t care for psp games. The sales are fantastic though.
My one minor complaint is there are still no racing games, free or discounted!
Jimusmc5 said:
July 1st, 2:30 pm
BF3! oh yeah thank you sony
BIGJDOGG-13 said:
July 1st, 2:30 pm
Pretty decent update! I’m not too big on FPS but for free dollars I’ll give it a whirl. And you can’t beat $5.00 for Arkham Asylum. Gotta pick that one up also. Good variety on the PS3 plus game this month!
Binarynova said:
July 1st, 2:30 pm
Sweet. A gray multiplayer FPS. Haven’t played one of those in days! :P
fede01_8 said:
July 1st, 2:30 pm
Jet Set Radio? ugh don’t you hate when a game you boughts months ago is on the IGC? Oh, well, it’s a great game anyway

Battlefield 3 is a great game, you can add me and I will take your dog tag…. I mean we’ll play and enjoy a lot of battles… My psvita has been asking me for Dokuro and as a birthday gift I will have it, thanks Playstation.
Morgan Haro said:
July 1st, 2:37 pm
Dokuro is a great little gem. Super easy to get into, characters are wonderful and the gameplay is fun. Definitely check it out if you hadn’t had the chance to do so before.
scorpionov4 said:
July 1st, 2:31 pm
meh nothing for me this month except for metal slug. loved dokruo. I had a question, would th plus support for IGC stop on ps3 and ps vita after ps4 is released? because $50 for games on ps3, ps vita, and ps4 and also payment for online play sounds way too good. Why do you love us sony!?
Morgan Haro said:
July 1st, 2:38 pm
I don’t have any information to share on anything beyond what we announce month to month. But we’ll be sharing more about the PS4 IGC in the coming months.
TwinDad said:
July 1st, 2:31 pm
Metal slug. I like side scrollers, so that is my rewards for the month.
Thanks for the platformer in oddworld HD and dokuro.
Any chance of a RPG coming in the next month or so?
Morgan Haro said:
July 1st, 2:39 pm
Yeah tons of good platformers this month. As for an RPG in the coming months, I don’t have any information to share beyond what we announce, but check back for the month updates as they come.
