I know I don't pay much attention to PS+ since I haven't even opened up my PS3 and used it yet but, wow, really? Free PS3 games? I don't think I've ever seen that from them before. Free PS1 games but I don't think I've even heard of them doing free PS2 games. Interesting.

[Nexik]

They give out free games usually, just on a much smaller scale (Costume Quest compared to InFamous2).

It's a lovely surprise though, and my PS3 and internet will hate me for it

Sorta forgot about this, but so far this month

swapped out: Virtua Fighter 5, Hard Corp: Uprising, and Zombie Apocalypse
Swapped in: Gotham City Imposters, Renegade Ops & Pacman Championship Edition DX

*got* all three, didn't actually download GCI, and probably won't as it's pretty much multiplayer only. Haven't tried Renegade Ops yet, and am having a lot more fun than I expected with Pacman.

They'll most more for PS+ closer to halfway through the month, so see then what else there will be.

They're still doing free avatars and themes. No PS1 titles since the switch, and no Minis either. Kinda stinks because I'd be down to pick up Tomba if it came up. However, they are looking for feedback and want to know whether people prefer the previous way PS+ was, or the newer way. IMO, pluses to both, but did like how it used to be spaced out (which they're working on again I guess) and I liked the variety in that got to see what PS1 game wsa coming each month. Granted, I only really held onto the Spyro & Crash games (kids I watch LOVE spyro) but will lose them in about 12 days or so.

Discounts are still going strong though, got Infamous Festival of Blood -- thought it was a DLC for InFamous2, turned out I was wrong. Best description may be it's a bit of a spinoff/side story. It's different than the usual InFamous world, and tbh, more fun than I thought it'd be. Who knew teleporting vamps with crossbows would be so annoying though ;p

Wanted to post about this without starting a topic and it seems appropriate.

gamingeverything.com/29125/sonic-adventure-2-hd-nights-hd-dated-and-priced/

Sonic Adventure 2 and more importantly NiGHTS into Dreams are coming to PSN October 2nd.

I'm hyped for NiGHTS.

GTAIII is incoming to the network too. It was supposed to come out a few weeks ago, but delayed.

I forgot about this actually, but if anyone's interested, Borderlands, Double Dragon Neon and Scott Pilgrim from PS+ atm. First 2 parts of Walking Dead were available a bit ago. Some other stuff inbetween, but don't remember off top my head.

& Vita is getting PS+ at 'no extra cost to existing PS+ members' if I remember right from the other night.

[Nexik]

got Starhawk single player from Plus this week... all DLC free as well
Of course, the DLC is for multiplayer, which is $20 off the network. no dice I'm afraid

They're posting Plus stuff every week now. If I remember, I might just edit the first post, to show what's current and gone.

Although, anyone wanting FFXII-2 DLC right now, it's all on sale (for everyone)

God of War Ascension beta is open to PS+ subs this week. I played it some this morning, am not sure how I feel about it. Some moments felt lots of fun, but there's times when I just don't get why I'm being practically 1-2-dead and I'm hacking away at another player for a minute before they keel over:/

Just an update;

Have found two google docs that have records of PS+. One you can see every game that's ever been available for US PS+ since the start (things at are currently available are highlighted). The other is list of EU & US PS+ offerings since the instant game collection was introduced.

I'll keep updating what's current week by week, but have removed the list of things no longer available. Figure the lists provided might be a bit easier to read

As for PS+ itself, got Vanquish last week. Am really excited as I meant to buy it ages ago and haven't had the chance. Once I get Skyrim out of my system, am looking forward to playing it 8)
