  • If i were you I would not buy anything on sale, that only means its two months to get it free on ps plus.

  • Shadow of Colossus… OMG!!!!!!! this is the most epic game i ever play. very excited with this!!!!! but please PLAYSTATION put some fighting games in there too. free UMVC 3, street fighter, dive kick, skullgirls, mortal kombat etc…… please

  • They will probably give mortal konbat to keep messing with us, and batman and alice. I hate you guys.

  • @jjsiete07
    You’re not the only one. PS Plus content isn’t up for me either. Its almost 12 noon here, too.

  • the u.s gets no love again. im seriously gonna make a european account

  • @ALONTE_17
    The EU had theirs updated before the month of October. It’s just a little mind boggling that EU updates before October, and US doesn’t update the first day of October.

  • We must plan how to make an european account and charge it with funds.

  • @ SamFever

    The store usually updates between 3-5 p.m. eastern time.

  • Anyone?

  • me +Lefoul let´s do it ok. im sick of not being a priority fos ps any more.

  • i wouldnt mind if today were friday but i have university tomorrow, hope i get to play it today

  • Kingdoms of Amalur looks quite interesting and I heard good things about it. I will download that game. The discounts should rather be called overpriced games. The last discounted game I bought was Batman Arkham Asylum for $4.99 and that was a long time ago…. I would like to see Need for Speed Most Wanted and Twisted Metal. Twisted Metal is a Sony game and is selling real cheap now so I would think it is a good time to make it on instant free game collection.

  • Kingdoms of Alumar Reckoning has an error, it says it should be free but when you go to download it still asks me to pay 20 dollars.

  • I thought it was free for kingdom? like evowns1 says it still wants 20 bucks?

  • So when I go to download Kingdom of Amalur on the psn it shows that it is not a free copy, but a free 60 minute trial. But, the blog states it’s suppose to be a free full copy. So what is going on? Not trying to complain, just confused on what the deal is this week.

  • Uh… Almost spent $20 on a game that was suppose to be free? Kingdoms of Amalur is meant to be more than just a FREE GAME TRIAL right? I loved the hoo-wee out of that game when I picked it up, was entirely too fun to platinum and hearing about 38 Studios was daunting.

    Will there be a fix to the store or is it actually to be unlocked for free download later this month and there was just an oopsy?

  • I thought it was going to be free today kingdoms of amalur if i want to play it i need to pay 20 bucks S: but in the ps store says it is FREE…

  • The store is in the middle of updating, don’t check out until it says free in the cart or you’ll get charged and have to contact CS. I remember the same thing happening back when RE5 Gold was added to Plus. A lot of people checked out and paid for it by mistake.

  • There is obviously an error with the publishing of the store right now, as none of the Plus items show up as free or discounted.

    It’s happened before will happen again.

    Very annoying.

  • Kingdoms of Amalur is showing up as 19.99. o_o

  • I tried to download Reckoning, but it’s only available as a free trial for me. Anyone else having this problem?

  • When I try to download kingdoms it tells me that I have to pay for it and tries to take money from my account

  • Does nobody read the posts before they state the same thing as the 7 people before them?

  • Not coming up as Free like normal…. Comes up as Purchase or DEMO….Would you guys PLEASE fix your interface.

    Also Can you please add a option to remove games from CART. Already got screwed into buying a game during your summer sale. Really annoying that you can not remove a game from your cart….. REALLY REALLY ANNOYING

  • sirbflo114 I second the Twisted Metal notion.

  • I’m trying to purchase Kingdom of Amalur, but the free download option is not available. It’s charging me 19.99 $.
    I have a valid PS Plus subscription, I think it will end in March, next year.

  • hey guys Amalur is showing up as 19.99 on the playstation store whats going on.

  • same here cant download kingdoms of amalur for free says i need to pay for it

  • @ smoothboarder

    I know man, I hate how that Primero guy is always telling the truth and not letting us crybabies get away with our atrocious antics! I hate him so much! He’s being so negative by not letting us be negative! Wait a sec… oh. Oops.

    “But if you don’t like what you’re getting, why shouldn’t you tell Sony what you do want?”

    Nothing wrong with that. Making requests is fine. It’s when they come back whining and bashing people (including specific Sony employees by name) when they don’t get what they want. And continue to do it again and again and again… for what?

    Not all wishes can be granted. It’s that simple. The sense of entitlement is a HUGE problem. It needs to be snuffed out one way or another. It’s making an embarrassment out of humanity in general.

    And you know, there’s always other options if you’re not happy with something… you know, such as, leaving it behind. Moving on to another company that you feel caters to your personal needs. We don’t need all this whiny crap around here.

  • @ JerseyDevil1313

    There most definitely is an option to remove things from your cart. See that little “X” next to each item?

  • You people need to learn to read the comments before posting. No offense but it takes like two seconds to see that everyone else already pointed it out, no need to repeat your issue so much.

  • There is an issue when trying to get Kingdoms of Alamur from the store. Im a ps plus member, but it doesn’t give you the option for the free download. Only the game trial and a 19.99 purchase. Anyone else coming across this?

  • #183… all of us have the same problem…. Some “oficial” contact that say something about it???? please.

  • KoA:R is up for free download now in the store.

    But as nobody reads the posts before they post themselves I doubt this will help anyone.

  • It is now free. When it is up in the plus section but not yet free it means it’s midupdate. That’s what I’ve learned.

  • Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy pack price is way off…$27.59 on the store.

  • Been waiting for KoA since it was on EU PS+.
    Thank you very much!
    Best month on US PS+ since Demon Souls . . .

  • I think there is an error in the kingdoms of amular :reckoning i tried to download it but it need $19.99 to purchase it>

  • O! M! G! Kingdoms of Amalur: Reconing is free, for ME! I’ve been wanting to buy either a digital or a hard copy of this game for so long. Since it’s only 20 bucks everywhere now, I’m this close to pay for it. But I was hoping for maybe one day it would be on Instant Game Collection for PS members like me. Now this is it. My long wait finally pay off! Eh… I’m not trying to make a big deal of it, but this means that I’ll get surprises later on for possible titles such as Catherine, Sly Cooper, Batman, Prototype, Crysis and more. Good job SONY! Moreover, Rayman: Origin on PS Vita, although not as good as Legend, is another great game that goes to my Instant Collection. Thank you, SONY.

  • I see we are getting ripped of on the WOF/Jeopardy pack. It says 20$ here on the page but the store has it for 30$. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

  • Yes! I was planning to buy Kingdoms of Amalur!!

  • I Know It’s Off Topic But I Would reallly Love Dead Island On IGC. I Own it on PC But Nothing Compares to Playing On PS3.. and I Don’t Want to buy it Twice lol

  • @smoothboarder540 It’s not my fault that there are two people in the blog that one wants to scam Sony and the other one is comparing them with the qualities of another company. There was another guy that wants to threaten them to die, but I hardly see that guy anymore. But I’m still keeping an eye on him if he posts here again.

  • This month looks to be very good. I’m much happier knowing all the free games at the beginning of the month, as it gives something to look forward to. I’m extremely excited to get my claws on Hotline Miami! Wanted to play Amalur too.Everything looks great this month, actually. I already bought SotC when it was like $5 though– no big deal.

  • @ the whole team – is it just me or the discounts you guys have been giving is weaker than the ones you gave before. Since last months, decent titles are only getting 3-4 dollars discount. It’s almost like you people don’t care if people buy them or not.

    My IGC and discount wishlist:

    – Need For Speed Most Wanted (Or any decent racing game)
    – A sports game maybe, NHL 12 or 13 or Fifa
    – Braid
    – Portal 1-2
    – Ratchet and clank (makes sense if Insomniac and sony want to market Into the nexus)
    – Jak & Daxter Collection
    – Heavy Rain
    – Resistence 3
    – Tomb Raider
    – Stacking
    – Papo & Yo
    – The Unfinished Swan
    – Hotline Miami
    – Twisted Metal
    – Lone Survivor
    – Quantum Concondrum
    – Catherine
    – Starhawk
    – Dead Space 3

  • oh…I forgot to scratch Hotline Miami from my list. Sorry about that :P

    Not a bad month. Not bad at all.

  • @68

    I´M A STUPID CONSUMER

    best thing I have read today.!!

  • Thanks for listening and adding an RPG with Kingdoms of Amalur. For those complaining about no Dragon’s Dogma Dark Arisen like EUR, there’s just no pleasing some people. Now I’m not complaining and this is just a suggestion: with Dark Souls II on the rise for March 2014 release I think it would be awesome to add Demon’s Souls, the game that started it all, to the IGC to gather more interest in Dark Souls II. I just finally started playing Dark Souls on PC and I am an instant fan, but never played the first game in the series and would love a chance to try it.
