W o o o o w @ that Instant Game Collection. It's definitely designed to entice people to buy a Vita, as opposed to getting Vita users to join Plus but still, pretty amazing. I've already got 4/6 of those games so all this really means for me is free JSR (which is pretty awesome), but if this gets more people to buy Vitas, I am 100% okay with Vita Plus giving me stuff I already own, haha. Great launch for Vita Plus and kudos to SCEA.
SCEJ needs to offer up some RPGs. I believe the instant game collection is year round, so next year you will have different games.
Its 199 with COD this Black Friday :-/.
It needs to be a regular drop to be fair.

Yep. With a month you can platinum Uncharted and Gravity Rush. For free.
I think the Instant Game Collection strategy is more of a reaction to Sony seeing that a lot of people hacked the PSP to pirate games. But with PS+ on the PS3 and Vita now, people don't have to go through the trouble of hacking their system to play most games since it'll be offered with a yearly fee.
Where can I find this? I missed the wave on the previous ones for the US.
Me too. I want in on this!

We haven't even consistently had less games on PS3 anyway. For a couple of months, we had the same number of titles and for one, August, we even had more.
I expect there'll be something similar with the Vita, especially seeing as SCEE confirmed months ago that two indie PS3/Vita titles (Knytt Underground and Big Sky Infinity) will be appearing on PS+ as soon as they come out.

I'm not sure about US, because I don't have a working card. But you can pick up codes pretty regularly on Facebook including currently for the EU. Just keep your eyes out.
Quote for a couple of codes from that promo. I presume they still work! (Taken)
I actually looked at a Vita pretty closely in the shops today. I didn't purchase because I still feel it is a hardware revision away from something I really want (and money is tight etc etc). But I'm certainly a lot closer.

Don't know. Most of the people buy the games on the first month from launch. That means that all those people don't wait until the game is 20%, 40% or 60% cheaper.
If you really want a game, probably you won't want to wait months or years if that game ends on a PS+ giveaway. May affect low-tiers 3rd party, because people won't go to a shop looking for sales in the sale bucket because he already finished the last one and don't have anything else to play. But a lot of those sales are used games, that aren't giving any benefit to the publishers, right now.
Also, obviously Sony is paying something to those 3rd party publishers to put the game on PS+, and is probably much more than the first-hand sales of a game that has been launched a year (or more) ago. Also, it allow to sell DLC to a lot of userbase that wouldn't have bought the game.

Man, you're way too greedy. Want tons of games and also a cheap console?
Also, if you're not PS+, get sure to get it now and download any free PS+ game on PS3. Then, when you'll get your big price drop, you'll have also a huge backlog.
Nice! Took the last one man, appreciate it.

If one has PS+ but not a Vita, can these games be added to your DL list from the PS3 storefront and then played at some point in the indeterminate future when a Vita is acquired, or does your account have to be active on a Vita to get them?

That deal is cool and all, but the real news here is that Jet Set Radio will be available next week! Awwwwwwww yeah!
I own (aside from JSR) and love all of those games. I couldn't not have picked a list of better games.

Really tempted in doubledip and get a US PS+ account. I have to check the amount of different titles in each platform. There is any comprensive list of all games that there has been on PS+ on US and EU?
PSN Store lists the size of everything now.
Can you access this from computer? Been looking on playstation.com and can't seem to find sizes anywhere but in individual PSN blog updates.

Only on blog post. Or PS3 system.

That's an amazing game lineup for Vita. Sony continues to impress the hell out of me with how good a deal PlayStation Plus is. Damn.
That seems kinda dumb, why not include it under game details? Seems like it'd be more useful than 3D Compatible Y/N.
There's really no website out there that's collected this info in one easy to find place?

Aaargh, I just *bought* GOlden Abyss, and I probably won't want to play through it more than once, anyway.
Now I *really* wish I'd gotten UMvC3, instead.

Haha Wikipedia was the first thing I tried after playstation.com foibles and no go. Googling isn't helping either, can't believe a group of Sony superfans hasn't gotten together and come up with something.

This is a great move on Sony's part, I'll definitely be giving the 3 month sub a go. Also happy to see the "custom size" option is back for ps1 games, I was pretty bummed when I noticed it was missing.

Those specific 6 games, cloud saves, improved html5 browser, automatic updates, AND cloud saves, in one weeks time?
Redemption. All is forgiven.

Is this the Final Fantasy Tactics version that runs at something like half-speed during all the animations and such?
Or did that ever get fixed?

hmm to trade-in my GR for 20 bucks or to keep.
I only own Gravity Rush out of all the games so I am happy.
It's going for $20? I'll probably trade mine in at that price.
