I'm sure it's mentioned in here already, but it's really annoying that I can't get my free Megaman 9+10 bundle because I already bought 10 when it came out. I still want 9

You can't "buy" them individually?

Was bayonetta ever a free PSN+ game? I no longer have a 360 and i'll settle for some bayonetta as opposed to none and hope that it'll be free soon if it hasnt been free before.

Nope, but it was recently added to the PSN store. Fingers crossed for another Platinum Games freebie!

You can get them individually. I believe it's been mentioned in this thread previously.

 

[kuYuri]

Free Vanquish... it's like SCEA read my mind.

It didn't become a digital PSN title until a couple of weeks ago, so no.

oh nice.. chalk that up to laziness on my part. i tried to grab the bundle and it bombed out saying I already owned 10. I'll check this out when I get home.

Thanks for the suggestion!

 

[leatherhat]

Vanquish and megaman? Oh hell yes.

 

[Genki]

Great update for NA.

SCEE needs to get on those PSP games!

 

[Fuzzy]

They...do? Account Management->Transaction Management->Download List

It is not the same. At all.

I can't believe Link Man thought that was anything like what you wanted. It's a nice thing on Steam to see all of your games (I usually only show installed games) whether they're installed or not, and they're in alphabetical order. It would be great if the PS3 did the same thing so it would be easier to delete then later re-install games without having to wade through your download list (which changes the date of items when you add time to your PS+ subscription) or going into that piece of shit PS3 store if you know exactly what you want to download again.

I also wish I could list my PS3 games in alphabetical order. It's annoying that any folder I create is listed in alphabetical order but the games inside those folders are not. What also makes is annoying is that I can list my Trophies in alphabetical order but not my games. I really don't understand why they don't give us that simple option.

If there's one thing Sony understands, it's the value of the user's experience when using a piece of hardware or software.

Battery covers clock. Never forget.

 

[Teknoman]

No. Not only that but if a free game that you "purchased" later goes on sale you're not able to buy it on that same account if you still have a valid PS+ subscription. It's stupid.

Damn, was hoping MMX would be half off or something.

 

[CREMSteve]

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013...pdate-vanquish-joins-instant-game-collection/

Yes, Vanquish! Awesome. PS+ is the shit.

Options will just confuse consumers!

Fucking Sony.

 

[jett]

All you people better play Vanquish.

 

[Arlecchino]

I've waited a long time trying to find a good price for Vanquish. Thanks Sony. \o/

 

[Chinpoko_Master]

"This is the kind of game I can see being free on Plus in a few months anyway, I'd rather wait."

Glad I was right.

 

[joeblow]

Wow, fantastic news. I've always wanted to play Vanquish.

 

[sense]

"This is the kind of game I can see being free on Plus in a few months anyway, I'd rather wait."

Glad I was right.

not hard to guess lol. it was free for eu a month or so ago before you posted

 

[Chinpoko_Master]

You mean two months after I posted?

 

[I'm an expert]

"This is the kind of game I can see being free on Plus in a few months anyway, I'd rather wait."

Glad I was right.

Oddly I felt the same.. I've had the chance to get the game for like 800yen/10 bucks for years now and always felt like holding out. Here we are.

 

[Dragun619]

Aw sweet, I was getting worried I wouldn't have enough time to platinum Vanquish on my EU Trial account, hah. And now, I can finish wrapping up sleeping dogs and get that platinum.

But overall, Sleeping Dogs is a pretty solid game. Definitely enjoyed it and will probably buy the dlc.

 

[Duffyside]

Heh, I just suddenly remembered how I was roped into Plus. I laughed at it (deservedly) when it was first announced and detailed, and then Sony started to once in a while hand out a free game here or there. I think it was Costume Quest where my eyebrows raised, and I wanted to bite, but I said "no no no, I know I'll get the dumb service for this one game, and then there will never be another that I want, and I'll have paid $50 for one title." I think a few months later it was Stacking, with some other games between them, and I finally joined.

Shit, now we get basically at least one game a week. It'll probably be over 50 games for the entire year. Can't believe how far the service has come, nor how the price hasn't been hiked up yet.

 

[Roto13]

I remembering thinking it was awful when it was announced, too, but I can't remember the details of why it was awful.

 

[Certinty]

Considering what us Europeans got in January after the great December content I wouldn't be surprised if we got some crap next month.

 

[CoachKevin]

Awesome, I was just going to buy Mega Man X for the PSP. PLaystation owners that are not Plus members are crazy...

 

[Fuzzy]

I remembering thinking it was awful when it was announced, too, but I can't remember the details of why it was awful.

You probably thought it would be like Qore, great to start then a huge waste of money in the end. Even when Qore was free for PS+ users I didn't even bother with it most months.

 

[Undead Bokun]

Stupid question and I apologize if it's been covered but I want to be sure before I do it. I just signed up for a year of Plus in December. This 15 months for the price of 12 offer has me thinking of grabbing another year. If I purchase another membership it will simply extend my current subscribtion by 15 months, correct? Back when I was a member in the past there was some uncertainty as far as extending a membership but that was during the first year of the service. I just want to be sure that buying a new membership will extend mine and not run concurrent to my current membership which expires in Dec 2013. Thanks in advance for the help. I'm enjoying Plus much more now than my initial membership. Loving the discounts.

 

[Edgeward]

Holyshit! That update is incredible! Both games I've always wanted but for some reason or another I never bought. My patience is rewarded!

It will extend it. You can check your expiration at any time through the XMB.

in the first year of ps+ according to the 1 year review I wrote (reviewing the first year of NA well first 15 months as I did a 1 year +3 months sub)
we got 24PSN titles (28 if you count each episode of sam and max separately)
25 full game trails
32 minis
17 ps1 classics

the free games weren't uncommon from the start. from the start it was pretty much 1-2 psn titles, 2 minis and a ps1 classic per month which worked out to around 5.5 games per month or on average a little over a game a week.

Difficult to imagine how that was appealing to me at the time. I guess I really liked minis and PSN games or something...

If you told me you were going to give me minis and PS1 games at this point, I'd laugh. PS1 nostalgia is nothing to me now.

i miss the minis and ps1 games... I'm in the minority that would take them over full retail ps3 releases though .

i didn't find many minis i enjoyed but the ps1 games in general made me happy
Crash Team Reacing
Oddworld Abe’s Exoddus
Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee
Resident Evil Director’s Cut
Resident Evil 2
Resident 3
Spyro 1
Spyro 2
Spyro 3

were great freebies for me, and nice and small so keeping them on my ps3 isn't much of an issue (unlike stuff like super street fighter arcade where i didn't even bother installing it because it was so big)

I was actually so curious of my transformation of thinking Plus was a joke to being its number 1 cheerleader that I went and found the E3 announcement.

Though your list does still highlight how much it's changed. Full game trials aren't the same as full games after all, and I think those free PSN games ramped up over time. Like I said, I jumped on right around when Stacking was given away, and that was shortly after its release back in February 2011. So it was maybe 6 months or so of me thinking Plus was laughable until I gradually gave in.

 

[Roto13]

I'd like to get more PS1 games, honestly. Especially since a lot of them work on Vita.

There aren't enough good Minis for me to want them on PS+, though. I'd rather just buy the ones I want and ignore the rest.

 

[Rick Dangerous]

the thing is... I subscribed plus in mid january. As recommended here, i "purchased" all free games, before they cycle out, and so i got all psvita games such as Wipeout, Gravity rush, uncharted, pinball arcade, etc...The thing now is that i may consider bying a vita beacuse I have all those AAA games.
Not bad, not bad...

 

[nero2082]

fantastic addition to Plus, just came from playing Vanquish (EU PS+) and it's really awesome game, nonstop action , my trigger finger hurts good to see US getting it too, highly recommend it!

 

[Ocaso]

Man, is US Plus seriously going to continue this perpetual shitfest? A C-tier shooter no one cares about and an ancient platformer for a dead mascot. Woop-tee-do. I guess this means UK Plus is going to get Dishonored and Persona 4 Vita in all likelihood.

Spoiler

Am I doing it right? Seriously, two great games I've never played this week! Score!

oh no doubt that the overall quality has improved. The games I have listed as free ps+ games for the first 15 months in NA are as follows (including their price at the time because I am to lazy to remove those)

Astro Tripper $5
Altered Beast $5
Bomber Man Ultra $10
Burn Zombie Burn $10
Comet Crash $10
Comix Zone $5
Crash Commando $10
Critter Crunch $7
Digger HD $10
Golden Axe $5
Lead and Gold $15
Magic Duels of the Plans walkers $10
Mushroom Wars $10
Plants vs. Zombies $15
Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves $6
Sam and Max devil's Playhouse eps 1-5 $35
Shatter $8
Sonic 1 $5
Sonic 2 $5
Stacking $15
Streets of Rage 2 $5
Wipeout HD $20
Zen Pinball $10

i mean even ignoring retail ps3 games we get, I feel the psn game list in the last year has been of higher quality as well.

I didn't care about PS1 games back then, but I might feel differently now that the Vita's around. Those games would be better on that small OLED.

I wish more people would jump on the Vita because of Plus. It's the only handheld I've ever given a shit about.

[Rick Dangerous]

Can anyone here put the list of all games given for free by playstation plus in Europe since the beginning so that i don't wait them for ages since once it's been rotated out, a game i think will not come back anytime soon. please, anyone ?

 

[Shadow2222]

First time I truly fucked myself in regards to Plus. I bought Vanquish yesterday Ah well, more time to concentrate on Metal Gear Rising.

i believe this is a mostly complete list, though if you wanted to see them in some order that wasn't by release you would need to do some work

this one more clearly covers the stuff since instant game collection

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Another terrible month for plus. I want the Mass Effect Trilogy, every Assassin's Creed game, every Vita game, every PS1 classic, and Lair for free in a single week AND they should pay ME $50 for taking it.

 

[Dunlop]

Did that music unlimited deal for PS+ members end? ($12 for 1 year)

[LittleToaster]

Yes, it ended last December.

 

[MrBS]

Sony continues to impress me with the vita/PSP offerings by letting me play games I don't own but have a vague interest in. Keep it up Sony! I have a bad habit of owning all the PS3 retail stuff though or having no interest. Oh well. Love those launch discounts on PSN stuff. More of that please.

 

[Dunlop]

Yes, it ended last December.

Thanks, I wasn't a PS+ member at the time and not impressed with the interface and Android app.

Would totally pick it up now that I am a member for $12.

Thanks a lot. too bad i missed :
- magician lord (still remember seing it being played on a NEO GEO at the shop. amazing !)
- Prince of persia classic
- Pain
- Plants vs Zombies
- Speeddall 2
- Trine 2
- Shift 2
- Shank 2
- Virtua fighter 5
- Outland
- Deux Ex Human Revolution
- Hell Yeah : wrath of the dead rabbit

Would have been worth it for me.

 

[Camjo-Z]

First truly excellent week in a while, let's hope Sony keeps this up.

Haha, yes, very good. I almost reached to the keyboard to scold you.

Even you will be broken the week Lair and Eyepet are the freebies, Duffy.
