  • When is Rayman Origins gonna be free?

  • So here’s the question. Is Aliens worth $9? Did patches fix all of the horrible glitches that they were bashed for at launch? Anyone know?

  • Was actually hoping for ICO this week as of the rest of bloggers here. But Galaga would do fine for me.

    Hey Morgan and Kristine. How about Halloween theme games free for plus like

    Splatterhouse
    inFAMOUS Festivals of Blood
    Silent Hill HD Collection

    and discounts to free on minis and themes.

  • 87 – I HATE that argument. “Don’t like it? Don’t pay for it!” Does it have to be pointed out that PSN purchases are non returnable?

  • I’m a new PS Plus member for this year (just started last March 2013) and I can say that I think it would be beneficial to have discounts on all Day 1 Digital releases done giving away games that would cause hate, Eventhough I am getting free games. I am most certainly still buy the new ones. And, I think the discounts are a very big plus on the playstation plus (put emphasis on PLUS) subscription. For me, IGC is just for me to try out games that entirely new to me. With this IGC, I fell in love with Disgaea and Saints Row series (which I didn’t bothered checking out awhile back).

    So, in summary, please.. can we have Day 1 Digital discounts instead of PSP, not so so good games

  • Discounts for the Blops 2 DLC would have been fantastic. (Profound sadness)

  • Well, I don’t usually go with these posts, but this week, the update was pretty week. Even the discounts were pretty bad. I would rather see a game like Galaga Legions on the Vita instead of on the PS3. I will most likely never play this, the PS3 has too many games that are better than this one, to waste my time playing Galaga (even though I do like Galaga a lot).

    Apart from this minor complaint, what really bothers me is that I am not able to play games such as Metal Gear Portable Ops, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon on my PS Vita. Why is it taking so long for these compatibility issues to be solved, especially considering that in other regions they do not exist? This kind of request for explanation is seldom replied to, but nevertheless, I would like to formalize, again, my dissatisfaction for not being able to play them on a US PS Vita.

  • If you’re gonna have a Call of Duty sale, sad to see there’s no discount for the classic COD1.

    One of the best WW2 games of all time, that and its sequel, COD2 and MoH: Allied Assault

  • Thanks again Sony for the FREE game! =D

  • Dear PlayStation Plus,
    I’m breaking up with you. It’s been great these past few years but I need some time by myself. It’s not you it’s me. I’ll be gone til November.. 15th.
    Love, MushThePainter

  • Will we be getting info on the 64 gig vita card? sorry for this being in the wrong forum.

  • Oh thanks for Galaga..its been a damn long time since I last played a Galaga game..think that was back on PS1….I’m eager to try this one out…I love me some shoot-‘em-up….on another hand…I’m quite disappointed with that CoD sale….I was expecting some DLC sale…its been years that I’m waiting on a sale for Black Ops DLCs.

    BTW will there be a demo for that Dragon Fantasy game?

  • @ 111 dodgedoors – Wait there is a 64gb memory card coming?….because I’m about to buy a 32gb one.

  • I think Sony is waiting until my birthday week (Sept. 24 store update) to add Rayman Origins to the IGC, and I’m OK with that. :D

    I’m also actually looking forward to Galaga Legions. Galaga was the game I put the most quarters into during my 80s arcade days that didn’t feature an Italian plumber.

  • @113 yes coming to japan at least Oct 10. The yen conversion is listed at about 100 dollars

  • I am not sure that I am going to renew my PS+, there really hasn’t been anything worth paying for PS+ for awhile. I am buying Dragon Fantasy II and getting $3 off is nice but I think I would rather pay the $3 extra than pay for PS+.

  • I already got Galaga and the discounts are pretty meh… COD really!? I still don’t understand how the people play those overrated games a lot…

    So nothing for me this week!

  • Hi Kristine, sorry to ask here, and please answer me, even if you know nothing about it.
    What’s wrong with the Brazilian PlayStation.Blog? The last post is from Aug 31! Thanks in advance!

  • Aliens should have been the free game. I might have to bite for $8.99 but I will be holding my nose.

  • i finnaly pulled the plug on a 1 year ps plus membership last month, and so fat hitman absolution is the only IGC game that has got me exited…i hope some more high profile games get on IGC this fall…

  • I already own the CoD games, so I won’t be buying the bundles. That said, I would almost definitely pick up the DLC maps if there was a Plus discount.

  • hope there is good NON plus sales tomorrow.

  • lol…. the CoD Discounts are a complete joke, and the free game is meh! … already waiting for next month ps+ lineup

  • @102

    Some of the issues have been patched, but on the whole it’s still a big heaping steaming pile. Even at $8 I wouldn’t bite. $5, maybe. DLC included.

  • Another horrible week, if you look at last weeks comments its about 380 complaint post about how horrible that week was and how many were unsubscribing but this week is worse and Im glad I didn’t renew my sub. If you as the consumers want Sony to listen to you and offer better deals and better games for the IGC then unsubscribe and tell them what you want, only that way will they start making PS Plus more appealing and try to get more people to subscribe.

  • …that’s it? Snore.

  • suck my balls

  • OMG this is just not what im looking for :(, I loved the summer sales, Bring some fall sales are some good IGC games, i know yu can do better PS PLUS

  • Why there is no World at War content on sale?

  • INB4 same alien game being on discount is going to be free for PSN+ in October/November.

    Sorry Sony, but you’re not getting any more money from me ever since goddamn Rayman for the Vita.
    If only I got the PS3 version instead of the Vita one…

    I don’t particularly care about the lineup, seeing as 50$ opposed to 45 euros or whatnot is obviously less money, and I’m glad with anything that comes across, but when you offer “MAD DISCOUNTS $$$SAVINGS$$$”, and then the same game goes on the IGC next month, you pull out the “read the ToS” card and don’t offer proper refunds, although I understand why, some people never learn.

    Thankfully, I learned my lesson, and now I know just to keep my PSN+ sub (for the time being at least), and never buy ANYTHING unless its a dollar/two with trophy support like Nun Attack and stuff, because it’ll go on the IGC within a month and a half.

    At least if I bought Rayman retail I could resell it after getting it on the IGC.

    Please stop doing this, you’re getting enough hate on the comments as it is, and I’d really like it if a red guy were to reply to my post, just to see what you think about this.

  • For those crying about nothing for them this week, your problem is that either you keep buying games to quickly. When you need to let your PS Plus membership do its job. And Sony can’t make everyone happy whether your disappointed about the games you get sounds like a personal problem.

  • To everyone saying they’ll cancel their PS+…if you’re getting a PS4, remember you’ll need it to play online, so you may want to think twice.

    Also, I’ve mostly enjoyed having Plus so far. May not always have something I want, but the money I’ve saved has made it a good investment. Can’t wait for Dragon Fantasy Book II. Book I was awesome!

  • @Kristine, @Morgan and all playstation team, could you please help me?

    I received an email about referring PS+ plans to friends of mine, so they would receive a 30-day trial and, if each decided to subscribe to PS+, we would gain $5.

    Codes started to be sent, but my friends are complaining that they’re asked to enter a credit card in order to redeem the 30-day trial. Please, could you confirm this promotion or is that a hoax. I’m truly concerned about it.

    Thank you!

  • Yay, Galaga!

    Will also pick up the Aliens DLC.

  • @127 Notsotaku What a well thought out and insightful comment! You summed up my feelings perfectly. Are you reading my mind? If so please get out of my head!!

  • My membership ends in one month. Over the last 5 months, I can’t remember more than 2 games I have bothered to download. The only reason I renew is that I have games from the past that I got through PS+ that I still want access to.

    Last month I actually got more value from Xbox Live Gold’s 2 free games.

  • kristine, you know some about the digital sales of ff14?

  • Is it just me or is PS Plus starting to be a big waste of money? They give out a bunch of crappy games for free that nobody wants and they’re not even actually free to keep. And the deals they have on games aren’t even that good of deals half the time anymore…those cod prices this week are insane seeing that u can get modern warfare for like 4 dollars at gamestop or any other game store. I’m about done paying for ps plus anymore…:-(

  • nothing for me this week (aside from the Diablo 3 demo) but can I ask that you guys stop with the Indie Games there not that great you should try and give us some AAA titles like WWE All-Stars id love to download that one

  • Normally I don’t complain since I think I get a lot of value for what I pay with Plus, but I have to say, this month has just been pathetic. I stayed silent even when the free titles were announced since perhaps we would get great discounts, but no. Just sadness all around.

  • Already own Galaga Legions Dx. Pretty entertaining shooter. Looks awesome on 3D.

    Friends don’t let friends waste hard earned $$ on ****** games! Please, don’t waste your cash on Aliens: Colonial Marines! It’s a pretty bad game.
    Got suckered like many others with Gearbox’s used car salesman tactics video of the game before release and got the collector’s ed Day 1… The swag is/was much better than the game. Lol

  • Discounts ridiculous. Aliens CM; thx but no thx. Galaga, meeeh not really my type of the game. And the Puppeteer Pre-Order Bonuses still missing from US version than pre-ordering Digital. You are screwing customers more often. SCEA you scuk!

  • oh yes a galaga game for ps3 free, thank you jesus, finally something worth the time.

  • Waiting for DINO CRISIS 2 sale (released in semptember 2000), and…. Nothing.

  • Let´s start a Sarcasm form to explain this PSN PLUS “WEEK DISCOUNT”

    “Doodle God (PS Vita)” FREE on Android and IOS… And for Sony = 4.49 (INCLUDING DISCOUNT)

    “Call of Thief Duty DLC Ausive Actvision Franchise”: the most cheaper just cost ONLY 20 BUCKS!

    “BUGS Aliens BUGS Colonial BUGS Marines BUGS ” … There are a lot of BUGS to pay something with … bugs only!

    Next time, if you want to create a “Promotion” like this, please DON´T DO IT! Because You are considering YOUR CONSUMER AS AN IDIOT!

  • What are the chances for us to get any Resistance Game (I’m looking at you, Resistance Retribution!) as part of the ICG? Love this franchise! Retribution is a completely different (and better) game with the 2nd analog stick!

  • @Lucius and that’s where we differ. literally the last game on the entire planet I would want via PS+ is WWE, so I guess maybe it truly is just a matter of ‘they can’t please everyone’. I’m pretty pleased with all the indy titles, they’re games in some cases I didn’t even know existed that I’m really glad to play.

    And a lot of the full games that the EU version are getting are games I wouldn’t ever want anyways. All told I’m completely satisfied with PS+. But again, it’s a case of ‘you can’t please everyone’… if they gave the games you wanted, I’d be miserable with PS+.
    Mind you, nto to say I’ve liked EVERY PS+ game, but I’m getting at least 1 a month, usually two, that I’m pleased with, so I have few complaints.

    As far as feedback goes, to the powers that be… I would DEARLY love to see some JRPGs added to the PS+ lineup. It’s probably my one big criticism that you’re vastly underserving such a significant portion of your long-term fanbase… people who love JRPGs have generally stayed with Sony since the PS1 days and we’d love to see some of them come to PS+.

  • I thought last month was great. I played the heck out of Hitman and Runner 2. This month is pretty much a joke. I mean two on-rail shooters really? I might get some enjoyment out of Galaga but overall I’m pretty disappointed in this months line up.

  • Your playstation plus service sucks.
